Chapter 38
“Mr. Murray, why are you here? Nathan turned to the stairs, hiding Tabella behind him.
“Mr. Murray, please have a coffee in the living room Winona hurried to the stairs and stood with Nathan, trying to stop Clayton from going upstairs.
Clayton slowly walked up the stairs, followed by Kayson and Hendrix, whose faces were cold without any expression.
Clayton was a head taller than Nathan. He stood in front of Nathan and glanced at him condescendingly “I came with Isabella to get something. Do you want to step us. Mr. Ingram!”
His aura made Nathan instincuvely turn sideways and said with an apologetic smile. “Of course not
Clayton looked over him and saw Isabella’s face. There was a clear fingerprint on her smooth face and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. That’s a harsh slap he exclaimed inwardly.
Clayton frowned and emitted a chilly aura, which made everyone present silent
Clayton Caressed babella’s face. Isabella tilted her head and gasped in pain. He felt heartbroken and held her in his arms.
Habella chuckled lightly with tears in her eyes I’m in a mess every time I see you
“Don’t leave me again. You will be bullied as soon as you leave me. How can I feel at ease?” Clayton’s eyes were full of distress.
Isabella burst into tears
Clayton asked in a deep voice. Who did it?” He glanced at Natlun, Winona, and Yvonne
The three of them took a step back involuntarily.
Clayton’s eyes fell on a few sheets of paper on the floor. Hendrix bent down to pick them up glanced at them, and handed them to Clayton.
a
Clayton took the papers and looked at them with a cold smile. “Mr. Ingram, do you want Isabella’s shares and inheritance?”
Nathan’s forehead seated profusely, “No, no, Mr. Murray, you misunderstood
Clayton shook the paper in his hand. “This is a risunderstanding? I think it’s written seriously. It must have been carefully thought out to grind Isabella down to nothing!”
mile. “Uh, a’s y
Nathan forced a smile. “Uh, it’s Yvonne joking with Isabella. They’re just joking”
Clayton looked at the paper
er and then at Nathan. “Mr. Ingram, your family is so rich that your two daughters joke with such a big sum of money? Or do you take me as a three–year–old who can’t even read this? And what about the slap on Isabella’s face?”
Nathan’s face turned pale.
Winona forced a smile and tried to smooth things over. “Mr. Murray, why don’t you take a seat downstairs? Isabella and Yvonne have been fighting since they were kids. We just came home and haven’t asked them what was going on. Let’s go downstairs. Leave their business to me.”
Clayton’s eyes flashed. “Leave it to you! Let you slap Isabella again?”
Winona felt suffocated and smiled awkwardly. “No, why would I She stepped forward to grab Isabella “Isabella—”
Isabella subconsciously took a step back. Clayton saw it and stood in front of her. “Mrs. Ingram, please stand further away
Winona withdrew her hand in embarrassment.
“Mr. Murray, Isabella bit me first” Yvonne changed her arrogant attitude and spoke softly. She stretched out her arm to Clayton with tears in her
Clayton frowned and took a step back. He glanced at the red mark and turned to blame Isabella. “Didn’t you have breakfast before going out in the morning! Why were you so weak?
Everyone was stunned to hear this. When they came to their series, they were even more shocked and thought. Is he saying that Isabella bit too lightly
habella also looked at Clayton in surprise.
Clayton’s eyes fell on Isabella’s pink coat. He picked up a few strands of hair on it and showed them to Isabella. “Did someone pull your hair?
He caressed Tubella’s head. “You can’t even protect yourself. I won’t let you go out alone again his voice was gentle and affectionate
Chapter 33
The hair fell slowly as Clayton let go. His face was full of distress, as if those strands of hair were
Were Trekure,
“Mr. Murray..” Yvonne burst into tears in embarrassment as her arm stretched out. She only hoped that Clayton could take a look at her. I’m as beautiful as Isabella. If only he could take a look at me, she thought.
Clayton lowered his head and asked Isabella sofily. “Aren’t you here to get something?”
Isabella smiled bitterly. She hadn’t even walked through the door of her room so far.
Clayton held her and walked toward her room. He remembered this small room because he had found her here last time.
When the door was opened, everyone was stunned. Yvonne stepped back.
The small room of less than 200 square feet was a mes
Clayton was expressionless. He lowered his head and asked, “What do you want to take?”
Isabella glanced around “Books and clothes”
Clayton nodded. “Kayson, Hendrix, pack up Mrs. Murray’s books and clothes and take them away!”
“Yes!” The two moved through the crowd and entered the room.
“Okay, leave it to them. Let’s go Clayton walked out with Isabella
“Wait a minute Yvonne stopped them.
Clayton frowned as he looked at her.
Yvonne’s face was tear–stained, and she looked pitiful. “Isabella, what kind of situation are you putting Dad and Mom in if you just leave like this! You can’t just leave this mess to them for your own sake,
Clayton raised his eyebrows at Yvonne.
Yvonne’s big, Leary eyes were pitiful. She bit her red lip lightly and said, “Mr. Murray, Isabella has had a marriage contract with Zachary for a long time. The Winslow family is preparing for their wedding on New Year’s Day. My parents will be put in a difficult position if the Winslow family finds out Isabella is gone.”
Clayton smiled slightly. He took out his phone, quickly found a photo, and passed it slowly in front of Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. This is my marriage license with Isabella. She’s married. If the wedding is to be held, it will be our wedding. It has nothing to do with others.”
Yvonne looked at the marriage license in the photo in disbelief. “S–Seriously? Mr. Murray, why did you-
She suddenly came to her senses and changed her words “Isabella, how can you cancel the marriage? What about Zachary!”
Clayton looked at Nathan, “Don’t you have two daughters, Mr. Ingrarn? Since you can’t cancel the marriage with the Winslow family, just let Yvonne marry in place of Isabellar
“No!” Yvonne shrieked Realizing her voice was too sharp, she suddenly stopped.
Clayton sneered and looked at Nathan. “Is your memory so poor, Mr. Ingram! Didn’t I say I’d marry Isabella? Why did you force her to marry someone else? Since the marriage with the Winslow family is difficult to cancel, how about I help you?”
Nathan thought about it quickly. He had been thinking about how to marry Yvonne to Clayton and wouldn’t hesitate to destroy Isabella for this. If Clayton hadn’t shown up earlier, he would have locked Isabella up and recommended Yvonne to Clayton
But after he saw Clayton and Isabella’s marriage license, he was at a loss. Hearing what Clayton said now, he couldn’t help looking at Clayton expectantly.
Clayton flashed a fake smile, “I have all the videos of the engagement party and Zachary’s indecent video. Should I give it to you to break off the engagement with the Winslow family, or should I make it public and tell everyone you sold your daughter for money and power?”
“Please don’t, Mr. Murray… Nathan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn’t expect Clayton to have all those videos in his hands. At the engagement party, Nathan dared threaten Isabella because he knew she had always been a pushover who was easy to control. Besides, everyone present was his close friends or people who depended on his family, so this matter would only be discussed within a small circle. Isabella and Zachary would have gotten married by the time word spread, and he would have nothing to worry about.
But if the videos were made public now, the images of Sorenson Multimedia and Avid Ventures Real Estate would be ruined, and he and Terence would be condemned publicly. Nathan dared not bet that Clayton was just saying it casually. Everyone in the industry knew Clayton and Victor did things regardless of consequences or cost. Others could only abide by their rules,
Nathan did feel guilty about Isabella’s matter. It wasn’t that he didn’t know right from wrong, but he had nothing to fear since Tabella had always. been in his hands.
Chapter 38
Seeing Nathan’s look, Clayton smiled coldly. “Mr. Ingram, let me know when you make up your mind. By the way, I’d like to repeat that babella is my wife. She has repaid your kindness in raising her all these years with your slap today. She will cut ties with you from now on. Don’t see her or bully her with any excuse again!”
With that, Clayton walked downstairs with Isabella, who was in a daze. He stopped halfway down the stairs and turned to glance at Winona and Yvonne, who hadn’t recovered from the shock. “I forgot to tell you that I don’t go easy on women. If Isabella loses her hair in front of you again. III make you pay ten times the price!”
Kayson and Hendrix walked out of the room with two bags each. Isabella didn’t have many things. Nothing much was left in that room after the books and clothes were taken.
The two walked past the crowd with expressionless faces.
Kayson walked to Nathan and looked at him. “Are you out of your mind? You’d rather marry your daughter to Zachary than a great son–in–law like Mr. Murray? Are you sick?”
Hendrix uttered as he walked, “He’s not sick. He’s just greedy”
Clayton helped Isabella into the car and fastened her seat helt for her.
Isabella turned to look out the window without saying a word, her tears falling silently
At the red light, the car stopped. A tissue was handed to Isabella. She took it to wipe her tears but cried even harder.
Clayton said nothing and handed her another tissue.
habella thought this would be the last time she returned to that home. She had no home from now on. To her, nobody and nothing there was worth missing.
Nathan’s slap had dispelled her last hope.
Isabella had been too persistent. She knew her surname bothered Nathan but thought his knot would gradually resolve once she married and took her husband’s family name. She was his biological daughter, after all
She knew Yvonne was jealous of her identity as the heiress of Sorenson Multimedia, and her family was unhappy about her inheritance in the future. She had thought she would share the inheritance with people around her when she received it.
It turned out she was being naive. What they wanted was never a part but all of it
The car stopped. Clayton got out of the car and opened the door for Isabella.
Isabella held Clayton’s arm to get out of the car, then wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. “Clayton, thank you!”
Her sudden initiative startled Clayton, but Clayton wouldn’t refuse this good luck. So, he hugged her
Thank you for telling them I cut ties with them” Isabella upered slowly. Clayton had said for her those words that she didn’t have the courage to say herself.
