Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 220

Isabella struggled to get up, but Leo was not done yet.

He approached her, intent on continuing his assault.

In a flash of fear, Isabella blurted out, ‘No matter how much money we’ve lost, my parents can cover it!”

Leo’s hand paused mid–air, his expression shifting to skepticism.

“Really?” he asked.

Desperate, Isabella nodded vigorously.

Leo’s demeanor softened slightly as he stated, “I’ll believe you one last time. I’ve lost over twenty million dollars on this project. Bring back forty million dollars, and we can continue our life together. Otherwise…”

“Forty million?” Isabella was shocked and fearful, “Isn’t that too much?”

“Too much?” Leo sneered menacingly. “Either bring the money or face the consequences. Your choice.”

Leo looked like a devil.

Frightened, Isabella agreed to find a way.

“When are we going to Riowert then?” Leo asked.

“Us?” Isabella was bewildered.

“What, you thought you’d go ask for the money alone? What if you run away? What about my losses then?” Leo looked at Isabella with a threatening gaze.

Feeling cornered, Isabella had no choice but to agree, “Don’t worry. Once we sort things out here, we’ll go ask my parents for the money.”

At this, Leo’s face lit up with a radiant smile.

He reached out, helping her up. “Isabella, don’t be afraid. I was just angry earlier. You’re the one I truly love. Why else would I forsake even my own mother to be with you? What I said earlier was all in the heat of the moment.”

“Really?” Isabella was partly surprised and flattered.

Leo nodded affirmatively. “Of course. I’m pushing you to ask your parents for money for our future. Think about it, you’re an only child at home, but you have many cousins. Remember how you used to complain about them. hanging around your parents, trying to benefit from them? Now that you’re not around much, they’re probably even more ingratiating. What if your parents are deceived by them and leave the family fortune to them instead?”
