"Calm down? How can I possibly calm down? One hundred million dollars, gone because of Isabel!" Laurel was beside herself with rage, as if Isabel had torn a part of her soul away.

Eva stepped in, trying to defuse the situation. "Mom, please stop. They have bodyguards. If you act like this, you'll just end up being thrown out again, like last time."

The thought of being humiliated twice in the same way sent a surge of anger through Laurel, her teeth grinding so hard she felt like they might crack. She growled at Villa No. 7 "That girl! What did I ever do to her in a past life? Did I rob her grave or something? Is that why she's doing this to me?" Before she could finish, a soft voice interrupted her. "Maybe you did. Maybe you were a grave robber, a wicked thief, and you disturbed my resting place. If that makes you feel better, go ahead and believe it."

The voice was unmistakable to Laurel.

"Isabel!" she spat, her words full of venom.

Kaleb frowned when he saw Isabel.

When she had first mentioned marrying someone else, he assumed she was just trying to provoke him, stirring up feelings on purpose.

But when he took a closer look that day and saw the date-the exact day Isabel and him were supposed to get married but broke up instead-it became clear that she wasn't joking.

Besides, Xander had stated explicitly that they were both standing up at the altar, so they got together. instead.

Isabel was really married.

The truth hit him hard, a bitter frustration swelling in his chest as he saw her standing there, calm and composed.

As Laurel advanced with fury in her eyes, Isabel simply raised one corner of her mouth into a faint, amused smile. "I'm right here. Why are you yelling? Did someone just turn 50 and lose their hearing? Is that why you're shouting like that?"
