Chapter 113
No.1
"Fabricating evidence." Nathan's tone remained calm.
Isabella suddenly shrieked. "Wendy! How dare you do this behind my back!"
The assistant turned deathly pale.
She knew Isabella would sacrifice her to save face.
"I acted on my own..." The assistant stammered her confession. "They said Lord Alex looked down on you..."
Nathan raised an eyebrow.
This assistant was clever.
No.2
"Get out!" Isabella wailed. "I don't need an assistant like you!"
After the assistant was removed, she turned to Alexander. "I'll make a public clarification..."
"Did you steal Evelyn's brooch?" Alexander asked abruptly.
Isabella froze.
"Why did you enter my bedroom on the 10th last month?"
Her heart pounded violently.
He'd checked the surveillance!
No.3
"I wanted to invite Evelyn shopping... She wasn't answering her phone..."
Alexander watched her performance with cold detachment.
"No need for your clarification." He turned away. "I'll handle this personally."
Isabella felt plunged into an icy abyss.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, her expression instantly transformed.
"William~" Her voice dripped honey. "Evelyn bullied me so cruelly~"
No.4
A light chuckle came through the phone. "How can I help?"
"Come back to me~" She cooed. "I have a gift to show you."
"The brooch?"
Isabella brightened. "How did you know?"
"It suits you." The man's voice softened. "I'd like to see... how butterflies fly."
Daniel Young limped out of the hospital with his arm in a cast, cursing under his breath.
"Has that bastard Alexander dealt with Evelyn yet?"
No.5
"No updates so far."
"Notify me the second something happens! I want to see her groveling on her knees!"
Before he could finish, darkness swallowed his vision.
......
Daniel found himself stuffed into a burlap sack, gagged with filthy rags, and dragged like a dead dog into an abandoned warehouse.
The sack was ripped open violently, sending him tumbling across the concrete floor.
A cold voice cut through the shadows. "Which hand touched her?"
No.6
Daniel trembled. He'd bullied too many people to remember who he'd crossed.
"Never mind," the voice said indifferently. "Break them both."
CRACK—
His screams echoed through the warehouse as both arms were snapped like twigs.
......
"Iris, should we leave today or tomorrow?" Evelyn asked, though her assistant still looked uneasy despite their earlier discussion.
A sudden pounding shook the door—heavy, unnatural.
No.7
They exchanged glances before approaching the entrance.
The moment the door opened, a bandaged figure collapsed to his knees.
"Father! I was wrong!" Daniel kowtowed frantically. "Spare your worthless son!"
Iris recoiled in shock.
Evelyn merely arched a brow. "I don't recall having a son."
"Yes! I'm unworthy!" Snot and tears streamed down his face. "I'll be your dog! Woof! Woof!"
"Call security." Her voice remained calm.
