Chapter 91 – The Threat

The sharp, insistent knocking on her window made Isabelle wince. Her head throbbed from the impact, and her vision was still slightly blurred. She assumed it was the driver who had hit her car, coming to check on her. With a shaky hand, she reached for the window controls and slowly lowered the glass, groaning softly from the pain.But the person standing outside was not some apologetic stranger.It was Laura.Isabelle’s heart lurched. What is she doing here?Laura’s eyes widened in mock shock. “It was just a small hit. Why are you bleeding so much?” she asked, tilting her head as if she was truly puzzled.Then, in the next breath, she burst into laughter. A cold, malicious, bone-chilling laugh.Isabelle’s fingers clenched around the steering wheel as unease settled in her chest.Laura leaned in closer, her voice dropping into a venomous whisper. “This is just a taste of what’s coming, you thieving bitch.”A shiver ran down Isabelle’s spine.“I was hating the wrong person all along,”

Chapter 92 - The Punishment

Monday morning arrived, and Isabelle walked into Anderson Corp’s office building with her head held high, though the dull ache from her injury still lingered. She had taken care to let her hair fall over the bandage on her forehead, hoping it wouldn’t be too noticeable. However, there was no hiding it completely. As she made her way through the office, she could feel the stares of her colleagues—some curious, others whispering amongst themselves.She finally reached her desk, and her gaze immediately fell on Laura. The woman sat in her usual place, her eyes fixed on the laptop screen, typing away as if nothing had ever happened. No guilt. No hesitation. No indication that she had been the one responsible for Isabelle’s near-fatal accident.Isabelle clenched her jaw. How could she be so shameless?As if sensing the stare, Laura slowly lifted her gaze, meeting Isabelle’s eyes with an expression so indifferent, it was infuriating. Then, ever so slightly, she smirked.A silent warning.Do

Chapter 93 - A Web Of Lies

Laura paced the length of her living room, unable to sit still. Her fingers curled around her phone as she impatiently checked for messages. Every second that passed without a response sent irritation crawling up her spine. Finally, she gave up waiting and dialed her informant.The call barely rang twice before a lazy voice answered."Haven't you found anything? It's been two fucking days!" Laura snapped, gripping her phone tighter.The informant sighed. "Chill, that girl—Isabelle Rivers—is so hidden. It’s hard to find anything on her."Laura’s patience snapped. "So what? Did you find something or not? I paid you all you asked, and you can’t find a little piece of information? What is she? The president’s hidden daughter?""Calm down, Laura. I did find something. And you’ll like it."Laura stopped pacing. "Go on.""She has a family. I made a lot of findings, and guess what? She was married before. Her case blew up a lot then—soon after, she disappeared, and the man she was married to

Chapter 94 – Laying the Trap

Laura sat in her living room, a glass of red wine in her hand, twirling it absentmindedly as she stared at the flickering flames in the fireplace. The weight of her thoughts pressed on her as she strategized her next move against Isabelle Rivers. She had waited too long, let that woman take too much. It was time to act.As she exhaled deeply, the doorbell rang, snapping her out of her thoughts. A knowing smirk curled on her lips. That must be Estella.She rose from her seat, smoothing out the fabric of her silk robe before heading to the door. Upon opening it, she was met with the sight of Estella, standing there with her arms crossed, her lips twisted in a sly smirk."You certainly took your time," Estella remarked, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.Laura shut the door behind her, a chuckle escaping her lips. "I like to keep people waiting—it builds anticipation."Estella rolled her eyes and plopped down onto the luxurious couch, her gaze sweeping across Laura's lavi

Chapter 95: Scandal and Schemes

Isabelle stepped into the office with a bright smile, greeting her colleagues as she passed their desks. But instead of the usual friendly responses, the atmosphere was strangely cold. Some nodded absentmindedly, while others outright ignored her. A few exchanged glances, whispering under their breath."Look, that's her.""Isn't she part of the PR Horizon team?"The hushed voices pricked at her ears, and she frowned slightly. What’s going on? Dismissing the unease, she continued toward the elevator.As she stepped inside, more employees entered, chatting among themselves. They hadn’t noticed her standing in the corner."I’ve worked here for years, and I’ve never caused trouble," a woman sighed.A man beside her scoffed. "What do you mean?""Haven’t you seen the news? Those new PR employees," she muttered."Ah, yes! I saw it. I couldn't believe it at first, but those pictures... They seem really close. When do you think they got together?""Who knows? But did you read the caption? I’m

Chapter 96: The Beginning of a Trap

Meredith led Isabelle into an empty meeting room, closing the door behind them. She turned to face Isa, concern etched on her face."Are you okay?" Meredith asked, her voice gentle but firm.Isabelle nodded quickly. "Yeah, I'm fine."Meredith crossed her arms. "Isa, don’t give me that. You were just publicly attacked by your own sister. Everyone saw it. And on top of that, there’s this scandal going around. What happened this morning? Is your relationship with Ethan actually true?"Isabelle’s eyes widened. "Of course not! Ethan is just a close friend. There’s nothing romantic between us."Meredith sighed. "Then why did those pictures circulate? And why is it targeting you in such a bad way?"Isabelle clenched her fists. She had her suspicions, but she couldn’t voice them just yet. "I don’t know. It must be someone who hates me. I'll fix this some way. I know I've caused unrest to the company and might have gotten in the way of work and I'm sorry."Meredith studied her carefully before

Chapter 97 – A Battle of Secrets and Strength

Isabelle stepped into the house, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. The air was thick with tension as Liam stood near the dining table, arms crossed, his sharp gaze fixed on her.“Where have you been?” His voice was calm, but there was an edge to it.Isa hesitated for a moment before answering, “At the company, working late.”Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Isa, you know I asked you to tell me everything that's going on with you. I know you met with Laura.”Her breath hitched. “W-What? How did you know that?”“I followed you, after what happened this morning with the company website and Estella's sudden visit, I knew something was up and I knew whoever was behind it would surely call you.” he admitted, his gaze unwavering. “I saw you at the café, sitting across from Laura. So, I’ll ask another question... What does Laura want with you, why did she call you and what did you discuss?”Isa’s throat felt dry. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came

Chapter 98 – The Calm Before the Storm

Laura lounged on her plush leather couch, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the fireplace intensely. The temporary suspension from Anderson Corp had left her feeling restless, but she wouldn’t let it show. This was only a setback, not the end.A knock on the door disrupted her thoughts.Frowning, she set the glass down and strode toward the door, opening it to find Frank standing there, impeccably dressed as usual."Frank?" she said, masking her surprise. "What brings you here?"Frank offered a polite smile. "I have something for you."Laura studied him for a second before stepping aside. "Come in."He entered, his eyes scanning the opulent living room before settling on her. "Nice place. Must be relaxing, having all this free time."Laura gave a tight smile, walking past him to pour another glass of wine. "Yes, well, I wouldn’t call it ‘relaxing.’ Being away from the office is hardly a vacation." She took a slow sip. "But I manage."Frank chuckled. "That’s one way to put it. Though

Their eyes met, both equally surprised."You?" Estella scoffed, stepping forward. "What are you doing here?""I could ask you the same thing," Laura replied, raising a b

Chapter 100 : After The Dinner

The air in the grand hall was thick with tension. Liam’s words still echoed in the minds of the attendees."Let me introduce my wife—Isabelle Rivers."For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Then, murmurs erupted across the hall, whispers spreading like wildfire. The employees of Anderson Corp exchanged stunned glances, their expressions ranging from shock to disbelief.Laura and Estella sat frozen at their table, their gazes locked in mutual confusion. Neither of them had expected this. They had been working together, plotting against Isabelle, but neither had informed the other about attending the anniversary. Now, both were caught off guard, their plans unraveling before their eyes."You knew about this?" Estella hissed under her breath, gripping the stem of her wine glass tightly.Laura’s nails dug into her palm. "Of course not." Her voice was low, controlled, but beneath it was pure rage. Her entire plan—ruined. Isabelle had gone ahead and announced it herself, seizing contr
