Chapter 238
Seraphina finally got pulled out, collapsing on the ground, completely drained and reeking of foul odor.
She scrambled to her feet and charged straight at Isabella.
“Isabella! I’ll ruin you! You’ll pay for all of this!” Her murderous rage was palpable in her stance. The deep wound from the mastiff attack—the gash running down her back—required immediate hospital treatment. That meant she’d miss the Celestial Gala. If she didn’t show, her awards would go to someone else!
How could she just stand by and watch Isabella attend in that stunning gown? No way! She wanted to attack Isabella and scar her face!
Isabella remained completely calm, phone in hand, simply watching Seraphina charge toward her.
“Go ahead. Hurt even one strand of my hair, and I’ll post this video and recording immediately! Everyone will see how you, Seraphina Delacroix, tried to attack me with a mastiff but ended up falling into the sewage tank! Oh, and a friendly reminder: Attempted assault could land you in jail for a year!” Isabella stated clearly, already logged into her Twitter account.
Seraphina, mid-charge, froze in her tracks. Her face twisted into something ugly as she stood there, completely immobilized.
Isabella had recorded everything!
If that footage got out, it would be the end of Seraphina! This was the first time she’d felt such intense hatred, and it was utterly agonizing!
“Isabella! You’re pure evil! I’ll never forgive you! Never—”
“Ugh! Stay away from me, you filthy sewage woman! Disgusting!” Isabella rolled her eyes at Seraphina before turning to walk away arrogantly.
After a few steps, she paused and glanced back at Seraphina one last time. “Ah, yes. I can threaten you once, and I can do it again. Cross me one more time, and I won’t hesitate to post this clip and recording online!” A satisfied smirk curled Isabella’s lips as she turned and left for good.
Seraphina remained rooted to the spot. She was so furious she felt like vomiting blood! Not only had Isabella humiliated her, but she’d threatened her again before leaving! Was she trying to kill her?
Left with no other options, Seraphina clenched her fists tightly and screamed, “Argh!” She had to make Isabella pay for this! She absolutely would!
Evelyn followed behind Isabella, filled with admiration. Under such pressure, Isabella had handled the mastiff and turned the tables on Seraphina, exposing her true ugliness. Evelyn suddenly understood why Boss Nathaniel was so deeply in love with Isabella…
Seraphina cried out in fear, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything! It was Victoria! Victoria told me to use the mastiff against you! The mastiff is always lurking near my office!
“Many departments have tried to catch it, but it’s too strong! After Victoria sent me a note about it, I got the special powder to attract it. I only did this because you keep getting in my way!”
It didn’t matter. Seraphina could still find a way to eliminate Isabella later!
Isabella frowned; it was Victoria again! Still scheming maliciously, even from her hospital bed.
Seraphina’s body sank deeper, and she accidentally swallowed another mouthful of sewage water.
Isabella picked up a discarded rope nearby and tossed it toward her. “Grab it yourself,” she scoffed.
“I have no strength…” Seraphina meant to ask Isabella for another solution, but before she could finish, she caught Isabella’s icy glare. She knew what Isabella was like; if she kept complaining, she’d definitely be left behind.
So, she had no choice but to muster every last bit of her strength and cling tightly to the rope.
Isabella took a few steps back. Just as Evelyn was about to step forward and help, Isabella used her own grip strength to haul Seraphina out of the tank.
Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock. How could a slender woman like Isabella possess such immense grip strength?
A woman like her had pulled Seraphina up with just one hand, effortlessly! It was a two-meter-deep pit! Where did that strength come from?!
