Chapter 11

Zachary spoke while sneaking glances at Terence.

Isabella could tell everything from a higher perspective and couldn’t help feeling despair. She wondered why she had never thought about what kind of person Zachary was. Obviously, he had been instructed to say these words.

“What about his feelings? What does he think? Have I ever had a place in his heart?‘ Isabella wondered. She had been deceiving herself and never realized Zachary, whom she once loved deeply, was a mama’s boy.

“Isabella.” Seeing Isabella had been standing far away on the stairs, Lorelai called her affectionately and walked over. “Listen to me. Don’t bel angry. You’ve always been sensible. Forgive Zachary this time. He made a mistake, but he already knew he was wrong. It’s not a big deal. Let’s not make a fuss, okay?”

Lorelai had reached the stairs as she spoke. Isabella looked at this bejeweled lady before her, who had a gentle smile. She used to treat Lorelai like her family. Her mother, Irina, had passed away. Once she married Zachary, Lorelai would become her mother–in–law. She had. thought about taking care of Lorelai.

But now, she understood behind that gentle smile was a bottomless trap awaiting her to fall into, Isabella couldn’t help stepping back and taking another step up.

Terence frowned. He wondered if Isabella was particularly stubborn today due to Nathan’s instruction. Of course, he knew he couldn’t compare with the Murray family. He was just afraid Nathan would abandon him to climb the social ladder. Thinking of this, Terence kicked Zachary and roared in a low voice, “Go comfort her.”

Zachary felt pain in his calf and shouted with dissatisfaction, “Dad! Why did you kick me?”

Megan also came over to stop Terence. “Dad, why did you kick Zach?” She then turned to glare at Isabella. “Isabella, don’t push your luck. Do you want Zach to crawl before you? What’s so great about you? Our whole family’s comforting you today. Are you not satisfied? What else do you want? Let me tell you, with Zach’s conditions, plenty of women would line up to marry him as long as he wants!”

Isabella looked at Megan’s angry, distorted face and responded calmly, “In that case, why did you come to me?”

“You!” Megan choked.

“Shut up, Megan.” Terence was pissed off by this brainless daughter of his.

Winona stood up gracefully. “Isabella, come down. Let’s talk things out.”
