Chapter 123

123 She Was Too Kind

“Yeah!”

Doris hurriedly nodded, excited, “So please tell me who you’re talking about and when I offended her. I want to say sorry to her.”

Joseph wanted to say no. After all, it was unforgivable.

But as he looked up, he suddenly found a man’s hand was on Isabella’s shoulder. They were chatting happily.

The man was Lukas.

He was her brother-in-law, a pretty boy who could only play soap operas.

Last time when he saw Isabella fall, he ran over to her so fast. And in the emergency room, he kissed Isabella while she got injured. What a shameless man!

Maybe his gaze was too sharp. Isabella looked up and saw him at once.

But she didn’t stop chatting with Lukas. She blinked and smiled at him, her eyes innocent, as if she was fawning over him.

.....

Damn it!

How could she still flirt with another man when she had him.

She said they should leave each other alone. Was that because she wanted to flirt with others?

Since that was the case...

Joseph immediately pulled Doris to her side and sat down. Doris was caught off guard, the wine in her glass spilling onto his trousers. She cried out and took out her handkerchief to wipe it.

Sure enough, Isabella’s face suddenly changed. He felt a sense of satisfaction. Then he put his arm on the back of the sofa behind him, looking joyful. He curled his lips and smiled, “Don’t panic, Doris. Take your time.”

After Joseph left, Isabella went to the bathroom so that no one could notice her.

But just as she was in, she was knocked down by a woman who was buried in her head.

She shouted.

Isabella was taller than her, so the woman hit her cheekbones. Isabella immediately covered her face. But the woman didn’t apologize. Instead, she covered her forehead and scolded, “Watch your feet! Are you blind?”

Isabella frowned, “You hit me!”

“Are you saying it was my fault? You...”

The woman was shocked, “Isabella?”

“Doris?” Isabella tilted her head to look at the woman, “Doris?”

“Well, well, it’s you!”

Doris ridiculed, “The loser in the art competition. Did you come to the banquet with your rich and influential stepfather?”

She emphasized the word “stepfather”.

Isabella felt that she must be too kind in her previous life.

How could she be scolded each time?

Originally, she wanted to reason with her as the woman was irrational. But seeing it was her classmate, she felt somewhat kind.

She wanted to say hello. But she didn’t expect that Doris would act like this. She was really irritated.

Dories had had a bad reputation, and it was really annoying to contempt on everyone she met.

There were no conflicts between them.

“Yeah.”

Of course, Isabella didn’t want to be a sitting duck. She brushed her long, wavy hair that took her an hour to make, “So who did you come with? I heard that all guests here are people with prestige in Peace City. Although Mr. Richard has many connections, I don’t think he is qualified.”

As expected, Doris’s eyes turned fierce, “My father is in the education industry. He doesn’t participate in business gatherings. I’m here with my boyfriend.”

“You don’t know my boyfriend, do you? I’ll introduce you to him later. He is Mr. Zachary!”

“Wow, so it’s Zachary!”

Isabella pretended to be surprised, “Is he that playboy famous for frequently changing his girlfriend?”

“Isabella, you greedy, shameless bitch!”

Doris was so angry that she grabbed onto Isabella’s long hair. “How dare you say that? Look at you. I heard that your mother became a mistress for money after your father died less than three months. Your mother ruined other’s family. The famous brand you are in is all because of her. With such a leching mother, you’re also a bitch. I heard that you even seduce your brother-in-law...”

“Doris!”

Isabella suddenly grabbed Doris’s collar out of ravage, “Don’t criticize my mother!”

Doris did not hate Isabella, but things changed since the art competition.

She wanted to talk to Joseph, but Joseph was disappointed and left early because of Isabella’s departure. So she lost an opportunity to talk with him.

This was part of it.

The art competition was sponsored by the Wilson Group and many people watched it. If she got the first place, she would enjoy great popularity across the country.

But Lukas took away Isabella and generated all the headlines. So no social media paid attention to her, seriously affecting her future.

This was another reason.

Isabella was gifted in dancing and she had a good foundation. This made her stressful and depressed for a long time.

This was also part of it.

She was a princess of her family who couldn’t bear being a victim since she was young. So since she got three reasons to hate Isabella, she naturally felt angry when she saw Isabella.

Isabella’s eyes were red and it seemed she wanted to end this with violence. Doris was a little scared, “What do you want? You want to hit me? If you do it, I will make your stepfather embarrassed tonight!”

Isabella was not afraid of bickering, but she couldn’t stand that Doris slandered her mother.

Rosa had already suffered enough. She couldn’t bear such blame.

It was all because of Carl who was attracted by her mother and forced her to submit with her huge debts. That night, she was so desperate. And then she gave birth to John.

But why did everyone criticize her mother when they talked about it?

It was okay if they didn’t understand it, but they couldn’t insult her.

The reason why a person could be sarcastic was that he was not involved.

Isabella was so angry that her joints turned pale, her entire body trembling. But she finally let go of Doris and left.

She couldn’t do it.

If she disgraced Carl on such an occasion, her mother and she must be suffering.

“Interesting. You don’t dare to do it, do you?!”

Seeing Isabella walk away, Doris’s courage was back. She shouted, “Isabella, you were fierce to me. Sooner or later, I’ll make you sorry for it!”

Isabella walked back to the main hall. She put an obedient and polite smile, as if the humiliation had faded away.

“Why did it take you so long?!”

Carl said unhappily, “Follow behind me and toast to them!”

“Okay.”

Isabella picked up her glass and greeted the old men warmly. They all praised her and looked at her in a sexy way.

“Carl, I need to talk with Isabella about something in school.”

Lukas was in a white suit. He walked over gracefully and said to Carl, “Would you mind if I borrow Isabella for a while?”
