Chapter 211
This scene felt strangely familiar to Rachel.
The first time she went to cause trouble for Isabel, Isabel collapsed on the ground, clutching her stomach, Tooking like she was on the verge of death.
She’s repeating the same act now?
Can’t she come up with something new?
Hmph!
I’ve already studied this trick of yours. When it comes to this kind of thing, all I have to do is act faster than you
With that thought, Rachel didn’t hesitate. She slapped her own face hard, using all her strength.
The force was so great that it made her lip bleed, and she screamed before collapsing to the ground.
The commotion was so intense that it immediately caught everyone’s attention.
When Xander saw Isabel, pale and writhing in pain, his heart immediately leaped into his throat. Without a second thought, he rushed to her side.
“Rachel!” Ivana ran over, her face full of worry and concern, helping Rachel up from the ground.
“Are you okay?” Both Xander and Ivana asked in unison, their voices filled with concern.
“I–Ivana, l–I’m fine… Please don’t blame Isabel. We just had a small misunderstanding. I’ll explain everything later, and it’ll be fine,” Rachel said through choked sobs.
Ivana’s gaze shifted to the blood at the corner of Rachel’s mouth and the side of her face, swollen like a bun. Fury surged through her. She turned around abruptly and glared fiercely at Isabel.
You did this! And you’re still playing the victim! Do you think everyone is blind? Do you really think this will make us believe you? Wasn’t it you who slapped her?”
Isabel couldn’t respond to Ivana’s words anymore. Her ears were ringing, making it hard to hear clearly. The pain made her clench her teeth, and a fine layer of sweat formed on her smooth forehead. Her lower abdomen ached so much it felt as if it wasn’t even her body anymore.
“Still pretending? You’re- Ivana’s words were cut off when she saw blood streaming down Isabel’s leg.
The stark contrast of the deep red blood against her pale skin was a shocking sight.
The scene left Rachel dumbfounded.
“Isabel!” Xander’s voice was low, filled with unmistakable worry and concern. Without hesitation, he lifted Isabel into his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital!” Xander wanted to walk quickly but was afraid of jostling her, but if he went too slow, he could delay her treatment.
“Leo, drive!”
Leo didn’t waste a second. He rushed over, opened the car door, jumped in, and fastened his seatbelt.
Once inside, Xander carefully laid Isabel across his lap, using his legs as a cushion to make her more comfortable.
As the car drove away, Rachel stood frozen, staring blankly, unable to snap out of her daze.
Ivana’s expression mirrored Rachel’s, equally dazed.
Chapter 211
It was unclear how much time passed before Ivana finally looked away, turning her attention to Rachel.
This time, when she saw Rachel’s swollen face, her concern was no longer the same. After seeing Isabel’s condition, even a blind person could tell–she wasn’t faking it.
Given Isabel’s condition, there was no way she could have had the strength to slap Rachel.
Even if she had, with Rachel’s face so swollen and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, it would have required an immense amount of force.
Isabel had been barely conscious earlier, so it that.
Was clear she couldn’t have had the strength to slap Rachel like
If it wasn’t Isabel who did it, then who could it have been?
Ivana scanned the room, her gaze sharp. This was the Bennett residence, after all. Rachel wasn’t just the daughter of the Lawsons; she was Ivana’s goddaughter. Who would dare lay a hand on her?
If no one else would have, then there was only one possibility: the person responsible was …
As this thought crossed her mind, Ivana’s brow furrowed in frustration, her face tense.
“Rachel, you…
Rachel was anxious, feeling restless.
How was she supposed to explain this?
The real problem was that she hadn’t expected Isabel to start bleeding so suddenly. If she had known, she wouldn’t have slapped herself so hard.
Now, not only was her face throbbing with pain, but she was also being questioned.
“Ivana, 1-1-”
Do you still plan to say that Isabel was the one who slapped you?” Ivana asked, her brow furrowing as she looked at Rachel with growing suspicion.
“I–I…” Rachel was at a loss for words.
“Enough, I’m tired. You can go now. This birthday celebration is canceled.” Ivana rubbed her temples, her headache intensifying as she turned to walk back into the villa.
Rachel, stomped her foot in frustration, silently cursing Isabel and her entire family.
“Isabel! This isn’t over!” Rachel shouted in rage, but the force of her outburst caused her to strain her face, making the pain in her swollen face even worse.
“Hiss… Ouch!”
D*mmit!
Just then, her phone rang.
She pulled it out and saw that it was a call from Christian.
So annoying!”
Rachel didn’t want to answer and immediately hung up.
Moments later, she received a message from Christian.
L
Chapter 253
“Tonight at 11 p.m., I’ll be waiting at my place. Wear the outfin i bought for you, he doen, and west for me Tonight will be the last time,”
When Rachel read the message, her eyes blazed with rage.
Just last month, she was inexplicably sent to Christian’s room, and to her shock, he had recorded everything pressuring her to agree to… with him every day for a month
God knows what kind of hellish month she had been through to wonder the other girls Christen has played with suffered so much.
It was only because of her status that Christian had held back a little. Ofervice, she would have seen s tragic as those girls,
Even so, her body was covered in bruises, and she had to rely on medication to ease the pain inter lover body.
During this time, she couldn’t help but wonder, who did she offend?
After thinking it over, there was only one person.
Isabel.
It was a coincidence that this happened to her right after she had sent Yvette to Christianis bed
She considered it carefully, and it couldn’t have been Max.
Although Max was Yvette’s man, with his methods, he would have confronted her openly if he had a grudge He wouldn’t have sent her to Christian to endure such humiliation.
So, the only one who could have done this was Isabel
Isabel! Isabel! You’d better brace yourself, your punishment is coming soon! I’m going to make you the most disgraceful sl*t in all of Solaria!”
At that moment, a wicked thought began to take shape in Rachel’s mind.
She was determined to make Isabel pay for everything she had suffered over the past month.
No! She would make her suffer ten times, a hundred times more.
In the car.
Isabel had regained some consciousness. With trembling fingers, she pressed on her lower abdomen.
She was clearly experiencing a disturbance in her pregnancy.
She had just checked her pulse, and thankfully, there didn’t seem to be anything too serious.
Throughout the entire process of Isabel treating herself, Xander remained silent, his lips pressed tight, for fear of disturbing her.
After ten minutes, Isabel’s complexion had improved for fear of disturbing Isabel.
“How are you feeling?” Xander asked anxiously.
It’s… not a big problem… ” Isabel replied, her voice was still weak.
“We’re almost at the hospital.”
Hearing Xander’s words, Isabel instinctively tensed up.
