Chapter 165 Set Him Up

The sound of Isabel's voice was clear, like a strike across Colin's pride.

His face went red, then purple, as he struggled to keep his anger in check.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he snapped.

Isabel tossed the torn check into the trash with a shrug. "Nothing, really. Just figured garbage belongs in the trash can."

"Isabel! Are you calling me garbage?" Colin wasn't a fool; he caught the insult behind her words.

"I didn't say that," she replied, picking up her coffee, crossing one leg over the other as she took a sip. "But you seem eager to call yourself that." She glanced up, her lips curling in a slight, teasing smile. "This coffee is amazing today. Maybe I'm just in a good mood." Colin's face flushed deeper with fury, his anger flickering across his face in colors like a storm.

"How did l'end up with a child like you!" His rage burst out, and his hand shot up, aiming for her face.

But before his hand could land, it stopped midair-Reggie had caught his wrist.

Colin's chest heaved as he glared at Reggie with a burning intensity. "You're both disgraceful! I raised a pair of ungrateful children!"

Isabel met his glare calmly. "If we're both so disgraceful, what does that make you, as our father?"

"You-you dare speak to me that way!" Colin's voice rose, barely able to contain his fury.

Isabel didn't let him finish. "I'm only saying what you've been implying. You're the one who started it."

She set her coffee down, paying no attention to his seething look. She turned to Reggie. "Come on. Let's go." With a smirk, she leaned in close, whispering to him with a glint of mischief in her eye. "Let's get out before the old man has another chance to yell." Reggie looked at her, surprised, but nodded.

""We're leaving."

"Stop! You both stop right now!" Colin's shouts followed them, but Isabel and Reggie kept walking, leaving the café without a backward glance.

Colin sank into his chair, his fingers pressed hard against his temples as if trying to force the tension out. His face was clouded over, frustration rolling off him in waves.

Across town, Isabel couldn't hold back a laugh, light and full of mischief. She looked like someone who had just gotten away with something.
