Chapter 240 Kidnapping Isabel to Threaten Reggie

"Think about it! If her intentions weren't calculated, how could she have secretly recorded this video beforehand? She had the option to release it earlier or later, but she chose to wait until her father had released his statement. Doesn't that show she's really scheming?"

Rachel remarked, her face filled with unease.

Ivana raised an eyebrow, and in her view, Rachel's reasoning didn't seem that significant.

"I must admit, I believe this might also be a way for her to protect herself."

Ivana had looked into Isabel's background and the situation with the Zimmermans, so she was aware of their family dynamics.

Colin favored his non-biological daughter but treated his biological daughter harshly. Eventually, he even sets Isabel up with a man in his fifties for a blind date.

This was the main reason for the complete breakdown in their father-daughter relationship.

Hearing Ivana speak in defense of Isabel made Rachel feel both uneasy and frustrated.

"Ivana, you're just too soft-hearted. Didn't I break it down earlier? I understand she's trying to protect herself, but she could've used the video to pressure Colin into apologizing, and that would've been enough. Why wait for Colin to twist the story online before revealing the footage? It's clear she planned this deliberately!" After finishing her point, Rachel shifted the topic back to Xander.

"From this, it's obvious that the 'run-in' outside city hall was likely staged by Isabel. I spoke with a maid who was working at Xan's house at the time, and she said that when Isabel first arrived at the villa, she acted composed and wasn't surprised by Xan's status. What does that suggest? It means Isabel already knew who he was beforehand!"

Ivana's expression grew darker. The situation between Isabel and Colin didn't concern her deeply, but when it came to her son, her emotions became harder to control.

"This Isabel is clearly no ordinary person!"

Hearing her comment and noticing the concern on her face, Rachel smirked maliciously.
