Isabella wondered, “Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that’s the case, it’s obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn’t stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork.

Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family’s acceptance of her wasn’t based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn’t due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.

They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.

Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn’t have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.
