Chapter 177: He Was Thinner Than Before

(God’s POV)

Diana Blackwood could see her daughter’s worry, and slightly composed herself, reaching out to cover the back of Isabella’s hand.

“Bella, listen to me,” Diana said softly. “Elena is still your sister–in–law as long as she remains mated to Marcus.”

Isabella looked up with hollow eyes, her face still bearing traces of last night’s humiliation.

Diana continued with calculated urgency. “You should take advantage of this situation to get on Elena’s good side. Now that she’s revealed as a Whitmore family daughter, her influence has grown tremendously.”

She squeezed Isabella’s hand tighter. “If you can repair your relationship with her, it could benefit our entire branch of the family.”

Isabella jerked her hand away, her patience finally snapping.

“Mother, are you out of your mind?” Isabella’s voice rose sharply. “Elena and I have a history of discord that goes back years!”

She stood abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor. “What’s the point of trying to appease her now? She knows exactly how I’ve treated her!”

Isabella’s eyes flashed with bitter resentment. “You only think about yourself and our family’s position. You never consider how impossible this is!”

She turned toward the staircase, her voice cracking with frustration. “I’m not hungry anymore.”

Isabella stormed upstairs, skipping breakfast entirely. Her footsteps echoed through the manor like gunshots.

Diana, angered by her daughter’s attitude, slammed her chopsticks on the table. The porcelain clattered violently against the wood surface.
