Chapter 142
The following day was Saturday, and while Isabella had intended to take the day off, she had made a promise to George that they would visit the Lane family. Consequently, she woke up early.
Isabella had just sat down at the dining table to have breakfast when she received a call from George.
Before Isabella could speak, George playfully said, “Dear Ms. Stout, may I have the honor of picking you up?”
Isabella took a sip of her milk and immediately refused, “No, thanks. You go ahead first, and I’ll drive myself.”
George became disappointed and leaned weakly on the steering wheel, grumbling. “Ever since you moved out of the Stout residence, I have no idea where you live. Why are you being so secretive?”
A sudden thought hit him, and he sat up straight, shouting. “Tell me, are you hiding a man at home?”
Isabella was caught off guard by George’s words and started to cough violently.
George was just joking, but Isabella’s reaction made his eyes widen in disbelief. He asked, “Wow, did I really guess right? Who’s the guy?”
He thought, ‘Oh no! I’ve just gotten rid of Jayden! Am I about to face another rival? Am I going to lose Dr. Lovett again?‘ George became nervous. He looked like he was dealing with a major crisis and exclaimed, “Babe, promise me, don’t leave
Isabella wiped her hands with a tissue and rubbed her temples, saying, “Calm down. I’ll be there soon.
After hanging up the phone, Isabella couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
She thought, ‘George spends all day daydreaming, never focusing on anything important, just idly thinking about useless things.
Then Isabella picked up a donut and stood up.
Megan stood to one side, her face full of concern, respectfully asking, “Is that all you’re going to eat, Mrs. Howerton?”
Isabella turned to Megan with a warm smile and said, “Yes, that enough.”
She didn’t say more, finished her donut, and then turned to walk outside.
As Isabella’s Ferrari parked outside the Lane residence, she saw George leaning against his car, arms crossed, looking at her with a sullen expression.
Isabella pushed the car door open helplessly.
Today, Isabella wore a white mask, showing only her rosy lips, perfectly matching her white dress.
She possessed the mysterious charm of a noble princess.
George wasn’t surprised at all about her appearance.
He was fully aware of the feud between Isabella and the Lane family.
At this moment, George was still worried about the jerk

With a pout, George gazed at Isabella, his expression one of discontent as he grumbled, “Humph, if you retire again over a man, I swear I’ll give that guy a proper thrashing.”
George waved his fist in the air, trying to look fierce.
Isabella chuckled, her eyes filled with mischief as she looked at George and said, “Are you sure you can beat me?”
George’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Isabella, his fingers trembling as he stammered, “You… You reall
He thought, ‘Could it really be true? No way!
Seeing George about to lose it, Isabella quickly reassured him, “Alright, calm down. No one can stop me from continuing to be Queenie now.”
Her words provided great comfort to George.
George instantly felt relieved.
With a smile on his face, he said, “Alright, let’s go.”
His mood changed very fast.
Watching George’s light steps as he walked inside, Isabella smiled, shaking her head helplessly.
The landscaping in the courtyard garden of the Lane residence was exquisite, featuring rockeries, meandering streams, and petite bridges–each step revealed a new scene, indicating a significant investment had been made.
As soon as George and Isabella walked through the courtyard, they saw Dominic and Cameron happily running out of the
house.
Dominic looked at Isabella, who was wearing a white dress and amask, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He then turned to George and asked, “Mr. Sampson, is this…”
Domino thought the young lady wouldn’t be Queenie.
Even though there had been rumors about Queenie before, seeing her in person surprised Dominic.
George wore a forced smile and introduced Isabella, “This is Dr. Lovett.”
Dominic and Cameron were dumbfounded. The mysterious doctor they had been looking for so long was actually such a young woman.
George didn’t bother to look at them again. He turned back to Isabella and continued, “This is Mr. Dominic Lane, and this is Mr. Cameron Lane.”
If not for George’s years in the business world, where he learned to hide his emotions, he might have already punched Dominic and Cameron so hard.
George thought, ‘How dare they harm Isabella?
‘I wish I could keep Isabella like a treasure, yet these two dared to hurt her!
Dominic and Cameron swiftly recovered from their surprise and smiled warmly at Isabella. They greeted her respectfully. saying, “Dr. Lovett, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Dominic extended his hand to shake Isabella’s hand.
However, Isabella glanced at him and simply replied, “Hello.”

She had no intention of shaking Dominic’s hand; instead, she stepped inside without hesitating.
Dominic’s h
was awkwardly left hanging in mid–air, and he looked slightly embarrassed.
Dominic was annoyed, but he didn’t dare to st
his dissatisfaction.
Π
Queenie held a high reputation, and she was the only one who could save Cameron, so Dominic couldn’t afford to upset her.
Cameron’s gaze was fixed on Isabella. Despite the mask she wore her figure and demeanor suggested that the must be truly remarkable.
Cameron thought, If only I could have this woman in my bed…
Seeing Cameron’s creepy expression, George got irritated.
beneath it
George cursed inwardly, “Bastard! That fool can’t even do anything and still has the nerve to eye Queenie! I gotta teach him a lesson.
George’s cold gaze swept over Cameron before finally landing on Dominic. George said, “Mr. Lane, Dr. Lovett has quite a temper.”
Immediately, Dominic understood what George was getting at.
Dominic turned back and glared fiercely at Cameron, his eyes giving Cameron a stern warning
George had no interest whatsoever in the interaction between them. Had it not been for Isabella’s plans, George would have already bagged the two of them, hooded them, and given them a thorough beating.
Walking ahead, Isabella had a slight smirk on her face.
The living room was opulently decorated, with each detail reflecting its costly and sophisticated taste, undoubtedly a high- priced endeavor.
Isabella and George exchanged an excited glance at the prospect of catching a big fish this time. George’s eyes sparkled with joy, as he saw this as a chance to make money.
The four people took their seats, and the servants served them with delicate pastries and premium coffee, covering the entire table.
After being warned by Dominic, Cameron didn’t dare let his gaze wander over Isabella, so he sat respectfully on the chair.
Cameron looked at Isabella and politely asked, “Dr. Lovett, when do you think we should start?”
Cameron was already getting a bit impatient.
The haunting illness had been depriving him of sleep night after night. At this rate, he would surely lose his mind
Isabella fixed her cold gaze on Cameron and asked, “What’s the rush?”
In that instant, Cameron felt as if his whole body had been frozen.
Cameron didn’t dare speak again, and he could only sit there quietly.
Dominic immediately put on a smile to ease the tension. Looking at Isabella with a broad smile, he said, “Dr. Lovett, I’ve heard of your remarkable skills. As long as you can cure my son you can iqme any reward”
Dominic’s offer was generous.
Those words alone showed how seriously the Lane family regarded Cameron’s illness.

Isabella sneered inwardly. When Cameron hurt other innocent ladies, the Lane family never thought that most people simply couldn’t afford such costly medical expenses.
Dominic and Cameron were truly heartless bastards.
Isabella’s cold gaze landed on Cameron, and she calmly said, “It no big deal.”
Dominic and Cameron immediately appeared delighted.
Dominic stepped forward and said happily. “We’ll be counting on you, Dr. Lovett.”
Isabella thought about the upcoming interaction with Cameron and suppressed her discomfort. She looked at Cameron and said, “Let’s begin.”
