t I was clearly her selfishness at work, or the wouldnt do och reing things.
She continued Her dad is pure evil, and you sent me to save How does that make any sense? Everyone knows about
hay. the terrible things he’s deme, always pushing the boundaries of the be, and yet you want me to help him!”
Floyd deserved nothing but to be in a dark corner, quietly waiting for death, until he started to decay and rot
Ivana had got a brain she barely seemed to use abella almost wanted to crack it open just to see what’s inside.
Ivana’s face changed color. She thought. Why is this jerk bringing that up for no reason?
But before she could speak, Isabella’s voice came through again Her dad’s name is Floyd. Are you really saying you don’t know about it? The human trafficking scandal that shocked the world ten years ago, doesn’t that ring any bells?”
She hadn’t planned on bringing this up, since the Patterson Group was so powerful Once one stirred things up, it would involve too many complications.
Everyone else started whispering to each other–they exactly knew about that incident.
Back then, the police busted a trafficking ring, and the kidnapped girls were tortured beyond recognition
There were leaked photos with blurred faces, showing just how terrible the scene was. Calling it a living hell wouldn’t be an
exaggeration.
Fear momentarily flashed in Ivana’s eyes. She thought. That jerk! How can I not know about it? But it’s all in the past now!
And Isabella used it to morally blackmail her, leaving her defenseless.
at
She took a deep breath. looked down awkwardly Isabella, and mumbled, “I–I don’t know about any of this.”
People around were surprised. “So her dad is Floyd… What’s up with Ms. Ivana Stout then? She seemed to know exactly what was going on just now.”
“To threaten her sister over someone like that, Ms. Ivana Stout’s gone too far.”
“Right, that’s just way too much…
Ivana’s face turned even paler… Even Brittany was panicking. She thought, No! It can’t go like this!
Just as she was about to speak, Isabella gave Ivana a cold look and spoke first, “So, you think a villain like this needs saving just because it’s a human life, right?”
Ivana opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say a single word.
What could have overwhelmed Isabella instead turned against her.
She thought. That bitch! She say it now on purpose just to embarrass me
Ivana kept her head down, but her body shook uncontrollably.
Brittany felt waves of coldness through her body. She wondered the reason why Isabella knew such details.
She swallowed hard, glaring at Isabella, and shouted, “You’re talking nonsense! What does this have to do with my dad?”
If this matter got out, it would be a complete disaster for the Patterson Group. She absolutely couldn’t let this leak out, no way!

Isabella turned back, her cold gaze landing on her. “If you want i know whether I’m just making things up, ask your dad when you get home. Don’t think his tricks can fool everyone. Secrets won’t stay hidden forever?
Whenever she thought of the events from those years, the people with broken bodies, mental torment, or even those who died, Isabella couldn’t control the anger boiling inside her.
Besides, Floyd did more than just that one thing. And he wanted help when he was on the brink of death. No way!
Those who were blaming Isabella earlier were all quiet after hearing about the truth.
Nobody felt sorry for Brittany anymore; everyone was busy with their own matters.
Brittany’s face looked even worse. Clearly, this kind of threat wasn’t working. She had to get Queenie involved.
She looked around and then suddenly dashed to her desk, grabbing a box cutter from the pen holder, and held the blade to
her throat.
This scene shocked everyone, making them take several steps back.
Ivana watched Brittany in shock, shouting, “What are you doing?”
She tried to get closer, but it only made Brittany press the blade harder against her throat. Frightened, Ivana quickly backed
off.
Brittany glared at Isabella with vicious eyes and shouted, “Stay back, or I swear I’ll do it!”
-She couldn’t believe it; Isabella wasn’t even slightly intimidated by public pressure. She thought, “If that’s the case, what
about risking my own life?
Everyone watched Brittany with concern, trying to comfort her, “Ms. Patterson, don’t do anything rash, nothing is more important than your life.”
“Put the knife down, and it’s too sharp and you’ll hurt yourself.”
“Let’s talk this through.”
Melanie sat at her desk, not moving at all, but with a slight smirk on her lips, quietly observing the scene.
She thought, Isabella thinks she is all that. Now that someone is risking her life, so let me see how long she can keep acting so cocky
Isabella narrowed her eyes, staring coldly at Brittany and said, “Want to die? Go ahead and cut it. Why threaten me?”
Brittany’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She only meant to threaten, and she never actually wanted to die. But Isabella was really not scared of this. And she didn’t know what to do next. She completely underestimated Isabella’s determination.
She thought, ‘Is my dad really going to die like this? No, that cant happen.”
If he died, the Patterson family would fall apart. She still wanted the honor of being the Patterson family’s daughter; she couldn’t let that happen.
She thought, ‘Since Isabella can save him, why wouldn’t she?”
could no longer stand by. Someone, unable to hold it in, looked at Isabella disapprovingly and said, “Ms. Stout, how
“This is a life we’re talking about! Her father made the mistake, so why should we trample on her life too?”
Chapter 213
Inside, Ivana was incredibly excited, almost wanting to shout out loud, but she had to keep it under content she thought. That’s it. Today, I’m going to make sure kabella’s reputation is oned
Everyone had their own thoughts, yet no one considered tabell Whether to save or not was always her own choice, not because of others‘ pressure.
Brittany felt a flicker of hope, quickly pressing the box cutter cleer to her neck. She gritted her teeth and glared at fabella, saying. “If you don’t save my dad, I’ll cut my own veins right now and you’ll be called a murderer forever
Her earlier weakness was gone, replaced by a desperate determination.
This really made Isabella angry. She pushed the chair behind her away, her cold eyes fixed on Brittany as she stepped. forward.
Everyone looked on in shock and rushed to intervene.
“Stop moving forward, or she really might do it.”
“Have you no humanity?”
You murderer, why don’t you just burn in hell?”
The insults echoed in Isabella’s ears, and many even moved to stop her actions.
However, as they approached, Isabella shoved them aside with a fierce shout, “Get lost!”
She was so strong that no one could hold her back.
Clearly, Brittany’s father was the real murderer, the true villain. Yet these people pointed the bloody knife at her. Seeing Isabella advancing step by step, Brittany felt a chill run down her spine and fearfully stepped back twice.
She swallowed hard and warned, “Don’t come any closer!”
The knife in her hand pressed closer to her neck, leaving a faint red mark as blood began to seep from her skin. The sharp pain snapped Brittany back to reality, and she thought of pulling the box cutter away
Just then, Isabella swiftly moved forward, and three silver needles appeared in her hand out of nowhere.
The silver needles shot out, landing precisely on the pressure points.
Everyone felt their hearts leap into their throats, but in the next moment, Brittany suddenly stopped moving.
