Chapter 1271
The Valentino family was still holding grudges towards Aleigha for what she had done.
It was not until Mrs. Fulton left City A that Raquel finally had a chance to catch up with her breath.
She had never regarded the wealthy businessmen of City A as on the same level as her, the mayor's wife.
She couldn't just go to every party that she was invited to by some certain businessman.
Raquel didn't come from a rich family, but it didn't mean that she didn't know the dirty laundry her husband had with all the businessmen in the city. Now that the situation was so tight that a single leakage of information about their dirty work could mean the whole family's total destruction.
She certainly understood that it was better to be safe than sorry.
Although the appearance of Aleigha was quite displeasing to the eye, she had to endure it, not showing the slightest tinge of unhappiness." "Yes, what a coincidence." Raquel's forced smile was so embarrassing. Even her hand holding Valentino was shaking.
She was so angry that she felt uncomfortable all over.
Lauren's dress today was rather too serious, which made her look a little bit rigid.
She was not on the same level as Emilee at all.
And for women, such a slight difference could mean war at full scale.
For example, although Isaias didn't look at Emilee, Lauren still got angry because of the clothes the two wore.
Today, Isaias was wearing a black suit and a white shirt.
It was simple and quite elegant, which happened to coincide with Emilee's pure white dress. On the contrary, it was Lauren, who was dressed in gray and blue, who looked like an outsider.
"Where is the bathroom?" Lauren asked in a low voice.
Emilee smiled softly, stepped forward, and took the initiative to say, "Follow me, Miss Hammond."
As soon as Emilee opened her mouth, her tender voice was almost intoxicating.
Even Aleigha, who was standing aside, could not help but applause in her heart.
She didn't want Emilee to get involved, but she had no choice this time.
Although she only let out a small part of her plan to Emilee, she must have guessed what she wanted to do, since she was taking the initiative to help her out. Lauren was unwilling to go with Emilee at all and her reluctance was written all over her face. Yet she couldn't show it off too obvious in front of all the people. She had to follow Emilee to the bathroom with a gloomy face.
Isaias also followed up.
Valentino and his wife didn't like Aleigha at all. They all knew how tricky this little girl could be.
They were quite astounded to see her here. But they comforted themselves by thinking she wouldn't do anything at Tanner's banquet.
Raquel was nervous and careful. She didn't tell Valentino about Windy at all.
If Valentino were to find out, she knew what could befall her.
A few days ago, Brenda disappeared. She was informed that before she disappeared, she had a few meetings with Aleigha.
She had thought that things would go south really quick but nothing actually happened. She was finally relieved and took it all out on Brenda.
When she saw Aleigha, she was in a panic, but her face was unusually calm as she observed Aleigha's every move.
She did not believe that such a little girl, who was still wet behind the ears, would be able to dig out the evidence.
It's impossible. It's just impossible.
After Lauren went into the bathroom, Emilee stood outside and waited. Isaias came over.
Then he kept his eyes on her.
He had seen too many rich and powerful girls, and ones that were not, but never once in his life had he see a girl like this. This girl was almost a fairy, standing there with her elegant and otherworldly charm.
And what attracted Isaias the most was the tender and gentle voice of hers.
Without Lauren keeping an eye on him, Isaias didn't intend to hide his intentions at all.
He might not be a playboy but the unwordly charming girl in front of him make it impossible for him to hold back his feelings.
Thinking of Lauren's arrogance and overbearing, Isaias felt that Emilee should be the real Mrs. Right for him.
She was so beautiful that Isaias felt he was drowning in her charm.
Isaias felt that this was love at first sight, a glance that had determined his life.
When Emilee heard the sound of footsteps, she looked back and smiled faintly at Isaias. The smile on her face was like a flower. The beauty was in full bloom, disrupting Isaias mind.
"Isaias!"
As soon as Lauren came out, she was so angry that she almost fainted. Isaias was looking right at Emilee, his eyes filled with infatuation. That was a kind of look that she had never seen in his eyes, not even when they finally met again.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
After being called by Lauren, Isaias came to his senses. The fire in his eyes was extinguished in an instant, and he fell silent as if dead. "Having a little crush, aren't we?" Lauren had never shown and never would show Isaias any respect.
She called out and rushed up, ready to slap him right across the face.
She couldn't tolerate any betrayal, not even a shred of it. Her love for Isaias had already developed into a twisted kind of frenzy.
Isaias held her waving hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Lauren, don't be unreasonable.
"I've had enough of this and I'm fed up to a point I can't take it anymore. If you go on acting like this, we will break up."
Lauren frowned tightly. She couldn't believe what he said. In a flash, her tears fell down.
Isaias turned a blind eye to her. He shook off her hand and smiled apologetically at Emilee. "I'm sorry for having to put you through this."
Emilee was a little surprised and
shook her head. Even when she was
acting all confused and a bit
panicked, she still looked extremely
adorable. Gentleness, again, filled Isaias's eyes.
Lauren gritted her teeth and raised her hand to slap him.
Almost instantly, a palm print appeared on his face.
Lauren almost exerted all her strength with the slap yet she regretted it the second it landed on Isaias's face.
Isaias was a very arrogant person. For him to be slapped in the face of others, one could imagine what the results would be like. "Lauren, let's break up. We are done."
Rubbing his face, Isaias raised his head and looked at Emilee. Then he turned around and walked out. Lauren came to herself from shock. She rushed up while crying, the sound of her miserable whimper resonated throughout the entire Bradshaw house.
Aleigha naturally heard the fuss, and Tanner rushed over first. When he saw Emilee coming over, he breathed a sigh of relief. "What's going on?"
Emilee looked confused and shook her head. "Miss Hammond came out of the bathroom and snapped at Mr. Fulton.
"She then slapped him before storming out."
Hearing this, Raquel almost collapsed. Lauren slapped Isaias!
"Why did this d*mn girl hit Isaias at such a critical moment?"
Valentino's face was ashen. Raquel had already been a disgrace enough and now his daughter did something equally stupid. He roared in his mind, "Pigs! Two useless pigs!"
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look," Tanner comforted her before turning around and chasing after her.
Lauren kneeled on the ground and pulled Isaias's trousers tightly. She explained while crying.
Isaias, however, stood still with an expressionless look on his face.
"What's going on? Quite normal for a couple to have a bicker, eh? No need to get so worked up." Tanner walked up, trying to reconcile them. Isaias cared most about his reputation. When he saw someone coming, he whispered, "Get up from the ground, and then we'll talk."
That was why he was tired of
Lauren. She was always so impulsive that the relationship between them would break down
before she came crawling back to him again.
Especially recently, she'd done it more and more frequently.
