Chapter 116

Isabella had everything all planned out. She would not fight against Spencer

on this matter because the two people involved would not have a chance to

speak.

Lara would be too afraid to do so because once she told the truth, people

Isabella’s most cunning strategy was to subdue everyone first and then
