Chapter 214 Things Got Out of Hand

Isabel was quick on her feet, swiftly dodging the attack.

Laurel didn't expect Isabel to move that fast. Normally, if she had launched a surprise attack from behind, Isabel wouldn't have been able to dodge in time.

But the reality was that Isabel dodged, and Laurel ended up missing entirely, and crashed to the ground in a rather ungraceful manner.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of bystanders.

With bruises on her face, Laurel didn't rush to her feet. Instead, she flipped over and sat on the ground, shouting at Isabel, "Why am I so unlucky?

"What did I do in my past life to deserve this? To run into a woman like you! You haven't even married into our family yet, and you've already pushed me into a pond, nearly drowning me. And as if that wasn't enough, you've caused chaos in our home, sending my daughter-in-law to the police station and nearly destroying my son's company! How can someone like you be so heartless?"

As Laurel's words echoed, the onlookers couldn't help but turn their attention toward Isabel, their gazes tinged with suspicion, and some even began whispering and pointing at her.

"Well, I never thought I'd witness something like this, there really are all kinds of people."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Watch me record this and post it online. That'll completely ruin her reputation."

"Yes, do it! Hurry up and film it!"

Just as the person was about to pull out his phone to record the scene, the camera lens captured Isabel turning her gaze toward him.

Her gaze was sharp and icy, her expression cold enough to send a chill down his spine.

Isabel's gaze shifted away from him, landing on Laurel, a mocking smile playing at the corner of her lips.

"Do you think everyone else is a fool? Do you really believe that just because you say something, people will automatically believe you? Let's start with Eva being sent to the police station. She was arrested because she broke the law. Are you suggesting I have the power to tell the police what to do? The police belong to the government; they serve the people, not me.'

Isabel's words were clearly directed at Laurel, but in reality, they were meant for the bystanders who hadn't been thinking clearly.
