Chapter 200
Isabel’s husband?!
It’s Impossible!
Isabel’s husband is just a gigolo. How could he have such power?
If he did, why would Isabel keep it a secret?
Just as Sofia was thinking this, her mother, Nina Burke knocked on the door outside.
“Sofia, your classmate is here to see you.”
“Huh? A classmate? Who would be looking for me this late?” Sofia asked, puzzled. As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw Isabel standing in the doorway, a faint, indifferent smile on her face as she looked at her with an unreadable gaze.
The sight sent a chill down Sofia’s spine, her hair standing on end.
“Isabel, why… why are you here?”
Isabel stepped into Sofia’s room uninvited, her tone calm but pointed. “I’m here because of what you said Your entire family is finished.”
Sofia instinctively opened her mouth, caught off guard. “I–I said it. So what? What can you do about it?”
Even now, she kept her chin defiantly high, exuding an air of arrogance.
“Nothing. Just making sure your boyfriend dumps you,” Isabel said calmly.
It was as if a single drop of water had fallen into a pot of hot oil inside Sofia’s heart, instantly sizzling.
Her
eyes
widened in disbelief as she stared at Isabel.
“You, it’s you! No, that’s impossible!” Sofia shook her head in a panic, her mind spiraling. “How could it be you? How could you have that kind of power?”
Isabel idly picked up a trinket from her desk and twirled it between her fingers. Her face wore a bored, rebellious expression.
“Not only can I make your boyfriend break up with you, but I can also have your entire family kicked out of Solaria tonight.”
Isabel deliberately emphasized the words entire family.
In her past life, she had no family, which made those two words the most sacred to her in this one. No matter how much Sofia insulted her, Isabel rarely cared, at worst, she’d slap her and move on.
But Sofia had crossed the line this time. First, she involved Xander, and now she had the audacity to involve her family.
“Hahaha!” Sofia burst into laughter. “What are you even bluffing about? My boyfriend and I haven’t broken up. at all. As for my family, who do you think you are? Do you think Solaria belongs to you? You think you can just kick us out and-”
Before Sofia could finish, Nina rushed in anxiously.
Sofia! Something’s wrong! Hurry and pack your things! Your dad borrowed money from a loan shark, and they’re here to collect!”
Sofia’s heart sank as panic washed over her. She glanced at Isabel, then quickly turned to Nina.

“I thought they agreed to give us six more months! Didn’t they agree? Why are they suddenly coming after us now?” Nina asked in a trembling voice.
Sofia’s panic deepened, not just because of what Nina was saying, but because of Isabel’s reaction.
Isabel was still idly toying with the trinket in her hand, her expression calm and composed. It was as if she truly was the mastermind behind everything.
But, wasn’t Isabel kicked out of the family? Even if she were still part of the Zimmermans, could she really have the power to destroy Sofia’s entire family so quickly?
“Isabel, is it really you?” Sofia asked, although disbelief lingered in her voice.
At that moment, the loud buzzing of a phone cut through the tension.
Isabel answered the phone. “You’ve caught Harry Burke? Great. Just send him straight to the loan sharks.”
Harry Burke was Sofia’s father!
Sofia stared at Isabel in horror. “Y–you’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
As soon as Isabel hung up, Nina received a call from Harry.
“What did you say? You’ve been caught?!”
As those words left Nina’s lips, Sofia was completely paralyzed with fear.
It took Sofia a full three seconds to process what she had just heard. Slowly, she turned her stiff neck and fixed her gaze on Isabel.
“Isabel, you can’t do this. You can’t be so heartless. You have to let my dad go, or else … or else … *
ZOr else?” Isabel raised an eyebrow, her expression smug and cold, her eyes gleaming with a sense of
superiority, as if daring Sofia to challenge her.
Sofia inhaled sharply, then bent at the waist, lowering her head so deeply it nearly touched the floor.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
Sofia’s heart was torn between fear and resentment. She thought to herself that Isabel was so capable that she must be a mistress being kept by someone, just like the rumors on the Internet.
Of course, the man who was keeping Isabel couldn’t be the handsome one she had seen tonight.
With a look like that, if he were truly from high society, there was no way he’d look twice at someone with a reputation as tarnished as Isabel’s.
If Sofia’s guess was right, Isabel must have been kept by some ugly, fat old man.
She seethed with hatred. But what could she do?
As Sofia mentally cursed Isabel’s ancestors, Isabel’s cold voice suddenly echoed above her.
“I don’t accept your apology. For the sake of our past as classmates, I’m giving you a chance to leave Solaria right now. If I see you again, I won’t be so forgiving.”
In the end, due to the powerful backing Isabel had, Sofia’s family had no choice but to leave Solaria in the
dead of night.
What had started as Sofia’s problem alone didn’t have to involve her family. However, after Beowulf had called Isabel to inform her that Sofia’s parents owned a small factory and regularly withheld wages from their
Chapter 206
employees–that they weren’t exactly good people–Isabel felt justified in taking action.
To her, it was a way of ridding the world of a harmful presence.
As Sofia’s family drove toward another city, they were consumed with rage, their anger so intense that they wanted to tear Isabel apart and feed her to the dogs.
“D*mmit! When I find myself a rich boyfriend and come back here, I’ll make Isabel apologize and beg me!” Sofia cursed out loud.
As she was ranting, the car in front of them suddenly came to a halt.
“Sh*t!” Harry barely managed to slam on the brakes in time.
“What the hell? Are they trying to get themselves killed?” Harry stuck his head out the window, shouting at the car in front of them.
Before he could finish cursing, he saw four people get out of the car in front of them.
The four men were dressed in matching black suits, their faces hidden behind sunglasses. Each of them was tall and muscular, exuding a presence that made it clear they were not to be trifled with.
“What’s going on?” Sofia leaned forward to get a better look.
At that moment, ten identical cars appeared and surrounded their vehicle from all sides.
Click, click, click. The car doors opened, and a group of bodyguards in matching suits stepped out, lining up in perfect order.
The sight was enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.
“No way! A Maybach! A Ferrari! A Lamborghini!” Harry gasped in disbelief.
He had been too caught up in yelling at the car in front to notice that the one that had stopped earlier was a Maybach.
Having worked for years as the manager of a small factory, the most expensive car Harry had ever seen was a used BMW. He’d never encountered anything like this level of luxury before.
From the looks of it, these people were definitely coming for them.
But…
What was going on here?
“Boss,” Leo stood by the car door, calling out to the person inside.
