Chapter 274
“So without the media leak, Arabella might never have discovered the truth…”
Isabella’s eyes darkened. That bastard had covered his tracks perfectly. Still…
She turned, her voice low and resolute. “The one who deserves to die isn’t you. It’s Harrison Winslow. You will live. I’ll prove your innocence before the Celestial Gala. If I fail, I’ll die with you.” Her cold words hung in the air as she strode out, her posture unyielding.
Arabella frowned, but a faint spark lit in her eyes. Before the Celestial Gala? Prove her innocence? The event was only five days away. How could Isabella possibly clear her name in such a short time?
She was publicly branded a home-wrecker, a mistress who destroyed a family. She couldn’t even forgive herself. How could Isabella save her?
Isabella sped away from SilverPeak, her mind racing. So this was why Kelly let Arabella go free. She set this up to make me lose money! The scandal would cost RisingHawk billions. The company’s reputation would be ruined. For Arabella’s sake and for her own company, Isabella had to fix this.
But with no evidence…
Hah!
She screeched to a halt in the underground garage. Oliver was pacing anxiously. She quickly dismounted. “Momo, what’s wrong? Why are you down here?”
“Mommy! You’re back! Waa… Momo saw the video! Momo was so scared…! Waa…!” Oliver ran into her arms on his short, chubby legs.
Isabella frowned. “What video?”
“This one! Where you jumped off the building to save that lady…! Waa… Momo was terrified! Scared you’d get hurt! Scared you’d leave Momo! It took so long to find a Mommy I like… Waa…!” He sobbed, handing her his phone.
She finally understood. Her rescue of Arabella had been live-streamed. It was trending. Her agile moves had won her fans, but many criticized her for saving a mistress.
Isabella had no time for that. She put the phone away and ruffled his hair. “Don’t cry, Momo. I know what I’m doing. I never take risks I can’t handle. No matter what happens, you must trust me. Okay?”
“Okay! But Momo doesn’t want you to risk your life! Momo wants you to be Daddy’s princess! Let Daddy handle these things! Even if it means he has to jump off a building!” Oliver declared seriously.
Isabella was stunned.
Ask him to jump? Did that mean she ranked higher than Nathaniel in Oliver’s heart?
The thought warmed her. She took his chubby hand. “You’re the best, Momo. Let’s go upstairs. I’ll make you a special dinner tonight, okay?”
Oliver tugged her hand. “We can’t, Mommy. Auntie Vivienne is here.”
Isabella frowned. “Auntie Vivienne?”
“Yes. Vivienne Delacroix. She’s with Daddy,” Oliver explained.
A strange pang hit her heart. So Vivienne was here. With Nathaniel. He left Oliver waiting in the garage while he spent time alone with Vivienne at home?
