Chapter 164

164 It Was You Who Snatched My Things

Half an hour later, they were in the Smiths.

Carl, Rosa, Rosy, and John were all present.

Isabella greeted everyone but did not receive any response.

Rosa was nervous, Rosy ignored her, while John’s eyes were full of ridicule.

“Alright, Rosy, Isabella is here too. Why did you call everyone back in such a hurry? John’s legs haven’t fully recovered yet.”

Carl sat in the main seat, looking impatient.

“You will know it in a while.”

Seeing that Isabella sitting down beside Rosa, Rosy smiled, “Isabella, I heard that you’ve been filming with Lukas recently, haven’t you?”

Isabella instantly felt that something was wrong, so she carefully replied, “Yes, it’s just a small role. Lukas said that he needed someone for the role, so...”

.....

“So you f*cking took the opportunity to seduce Lukas, didn’t you?”

Rosy’s smile disappeared, she exploded and swung the photos in her hand at Isabella’s head, “You vixen, why are you so cheap?”

Voluminous photos which were all of Lukas and Isabella fell.

In the photos, they were drinking coffee together and laughing together, they were strolling around the flea market together, and they were dancing and kissing on the rooftop...

Suddenly Isabella’s eyes widened. Rosy grabbed her collar and shouted, “Lukas and I are about to get engaged, but why do you still interfere? Are you so happy to ruin my happiness?”

Carl picked up the photos on the ground and stood up, “Isabella, How could you do that? How dare you love Rosy’s boyfriend?”

“No! Isabella was in a moment of aberration!”

“Isabella is always good at seducing men!”

For a time, Carl’s roar, Rosy’s crying, Rosa’s begging, and John’s ridicule were all mixed up.

Isabella sighed.

Isabella did not expect that Rosy would find someone to follow Lukas. It turned out that they had already faced a crisis of trust.

Forget it, what should come will always come.

Isabella reached out her hand, brushed away Rosy’s arm, tidied her hair, and showed indifference and fearlessness in front of everyone for the first time.

“I didn’t seduce Lukas, nor did I steal anyone’s boyfriend. We were in love in the first place, and Lukas finally accepted his feelings.”

“In love? What nonsense are you spouting?” Rosy shrieked.

“Yes, as you see in the photos, Lukas confessed his love to me the night before yesterday. He is now abroad and may not have time to tell you...”

Isabella looked at the crowd with a firm expression, seemingly full of the courage to face any difficulties, “Their engagement ceremony may not be able to be held as scheduled. I have classes in the afternoon, so I will go back to school first.”

Everyone was stunned and silent.

Carl fell to the sofa and said in disbelief, “Lukas, how could you do that? Rosy, call Lukas immediately and ask him to come back, no matter where he is. If he doesn’t come back and make it clear, I will not let him go!”

Rosa collapsed on the sofa, crying.

The Smiths were in chaos.

“Wait!”

Seeing Isabella standing up, Rosy suddenly pulled her, “You said that Lukas confessed his love to you the night before yesterday? Are you daydreaming? He was discussing the guest list with me last night and almost didn’t sleep all night!”

Isabella was stunned, “Lukas was with Rosy last night? How was this possible?”

Rosy grabbed Isabella by the collar and said, “If you kneel and beg for mercy to admit that you are despicable. I won’t argue with you, but if you dare to slander Lukas, I won’t let you go!”

“I didn’t slander Lukas!”

Isabella panicked but firmly replied, “If you don’t believe it, you can wait for Lukas to come back. He will explain it to you! We have always been in love! I have taken care of him for so long, and he must have remembered that he loved me! It was you who robbed Lukas from me!”

Rosy staggered as she was pushed by Isabella. Recalling that Lukas often mentioned the sweet memory that he had been taken good care of during his recovery from the accident, Rosy felt both ashamed and angry. Her face was filled with tears of grievance, “Isabella, you are unreconciled. You are deliberately causing trouble...”

Seeing that his biological daughter was crying, Carl became furious.

He grabbed Isabella, “How dare you strike Rosy? Damned girl! Scram to the basement!”

“No!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong! Why should I go to the basement? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lukas!” cried Isabella.

“You’re really disobedient today! Isabella!”

Accompanied by Rosa’s cries, Isabella was dragged along by her hair and arms, stumbling to the basement.

Carl then opened a dark cellar and pushed her down.

“No, no, no!”

Isabella’s rage immediately turned into fear. She refused to go down the cellar by holding the lid, “Dad! You could ask Lukas! I didn’t lie! I didn’t steal my sister’s boyfriend! Why do you punish me?”

“I will ask Lukas, but today you fail to respect the elders! So you must stay here and reflect on your actions!”

“No!”

“I won’t hit you for the sake of your gown in a few days, but if you dare to make a fuss again, I’ll beat you until your skin and flesh are lacerated!”

Carl said, picking up the whip beside him and swinging it.

Isabella covered her fingers in pain and fell.

The lid of the cellar was covered with heavy stones...

“Dad! I don’t dare to contradict you again. Please let me out! I don’t want to stay here!”

The door to the cellar was slapped loudly, but no one could hear it.

Isabella’s cries and pleas for mercy were loud and shrill at first, but they turned weaker and weaker until they slowly disappeared...

At eight o’clock in the evening.

In the Wilson Manor.

Knocking at the door.

“Mr. Joseph, William said he couldn’t contact Miss Isabella. I don’t know what to do.”

Gerry asked outside the study.

“Miss Fox probably knows very well that I will kill her when I return.”

Joseph snorted and ignored him, “She dare to make me look like a demon, isn’t she just secretly cursing me that I’m not a human? Forget about her! She won’t be missing!”

At 11 o’clock.

Knocking at the door.

“Mr. Joseph, William said that Miss Isabella is not back yet, and she can’t be got in touch with through the phone. Could something have happened?”

“Come in and say.”

Gerry entered the room.

Joseph looked up at the clock and frowned, “Send her a message and say that I won’t argue with her. Ask her where she is and send a car over to pick her up. By the way, don’t let my grandpa know about this.”

“Yes.”

At two in the morning.

Joseph paced back and forth in the study.

Gerry pushed the door open and entered, “I’m sure Miss Isabella is not at school and her phone is powered off.”
