Chapter 14

Nathan pondered, “Benefits? What benelits? When did she start requesting a return when we asked her to do something?‘ He habitually frowned at her and asked, “What did you say?”

Since Irina’s death, Isabella had seen nothing but impatience and disgust in Nathan’s eyes.

Nathan despised Isabella and never concealed it. To be more specific, he had never hidden his dislike for Isabella since Irina died.

“I said, what benefits would I get if I could get Clayton to come home and introduce him to Yvonne?” Isabella repeated her words slowly and clearly.

“Do you even need benefits?” Nathan’s voice was fi

filled with anger

Isabella was very calm. She knew that Nathan would never like her no matter how hard she tried to please him because her surname was Sorenson, which had a foregone conclusion. In that instance, she should strive for as many benefits as possible.

“Of course, I need to know if it’s worthwhile for me to do so, Isabella said, squeezing her fists beneath the table. It was the first time she had ever bargained with her biological father, and it made her very nervous.

“What do you want?” Nathan inquired, staring at her. Usually, when he gazed at her that way, she would lower her head, feeling timid.

But that day, Isabella simply stared at him, her eyes never flinching.

Winona and Yvonne also noticed the changes in Isabella that day. They were taken aback for a moment and forgot to react.

Isabella cleared her throat and uttered, “If I can invite Mr. Murray here and introduce him to Yvonne, you will pay me 1.5 million dollars. How

about that?”

“What? How greedy of you!” Wonne scolded.

Isabella remained unaffected. She could see by their words and actions that they coveted Clayton. They hoped to exploit isabella to get Clayton to interact with Yvonne, and perhaps even marry her.

Isabella’s mind was running fast. She mused, “If I could get 1.5 million dollars from Nathan, it would be enough to go abroad. And if Mr. Murray really liked Yvonne, I could take the money and leave him without losing my inheritance. Why not? I believe he will be fond of Yvonne. With Winona around, even if Yvonne grew up ugly, I think Winona could make him feel privileged to marry her. Such a happy ending. That’s great! I feel blessed. No matter how many difficulties I face, there’s always a way for me to move forward. That Clayton is quite valuable.‘
