Chapter 22 Look What You Have Done (2/2)

As she was about to finish applying the medicine, Amelia arrived in a huff.

”Where is Isabella? How is she now?

Isabella...” Amelia had not yet seen Isabella's condition and was looking for her.

She loved her daughter very much.

As soon as Amelia entered the room, she saw her daughter's red and swollen face, which had been covered with medicine by then. Isabella's eyes had already been red because of her incessant crying, and Amelia's heart broke in a million pieces.

”Isabella, my sweetheart. What's the matter? What happened?”

”Mom...” Isabella bawled even more loudly, her grief beyond words. As soon as Isabella saw her mother, she relentlessly cried again and threw herself into Amelia's arms to gather her sympathy.

Regardless of the medicine on her face, Isabella cried and complained loudly, ”Mom, you must help me this time. It's Nina. She slapped me three times in a row. The pain is so unbearable, Mom...” Although it was Isabella who slapped herself in the face first, she lied that Nina was the one who had slapped her thrice.

”Nina again?” How could Nina be so rebellious? Amelia had not yet avenged the last problem Nina had caused on the school forum, and now she dared to hit her daughter again!

”Yes, it's Nina. Mom, she keeps on bullying me,” Isabella said while nodding hear head in grief.

Amelia slowly pulled her daughter out of her arms and tenderly wiped her tears. ”Isabella, don't worry. Even if she is under the protection of the Song family, I simply won't let her go this time around. I want her to feel our wrath and suffer the consequences of offending us.”

”Really?” Isabella sobbed even more vigorously to rile her mother up. Only when she saw her mother nod in agreement did Isabella finally let out a smile.

'Nina, just you wait and see. Once my mother has made up her mind to teach somebody a lesson, that person will eventually come to an extremely miserable end, ' Isabella thought, rejoicing in silence.

After the two of them had sat down, Glenn suddenly rushed into the room in anger. Seeing how the two of them had the audacity to still talk and laugh, he became furious.

Before he got to sign the contract, the Shi family abruptly announced out of the blue that they would cancel the collaboration. As a result, he instantaneously lost three hundred million. All because Isabella had stupidly offended someone from the Shi family!

How could she still have the nerve to laugh now?

”Dad? Why are you back so early?” Isabella caught sight of Glenn first and was about to howl in agony again. She failed to notice his anger.

”Dad, I have been...”

Pak!

Another hard slap unexpectedly landed on Isabella's red and swollen left face. With a buzzing sound in her ear, she abruptly fell to the floor and was dumbfounded by her father's sudden rage.

”Isabella, look at what you have done!”

”Glenn, what are you doing? Didn't you see that our daughter was badly hurt?” When Amelia came to her senses, her daughter had already collapsed on the floor in shock, and she was too scared to even cry.

”Isabella, Isabella, my dear, are you okay? Let me have a look at you.” Worriedly, she held her daughter's face in a hurry. Amelia raised her head and gave her husband a stern scolding, ”Glenn, have you gone crazy? Why did you hit our daughter?”

”You have the nerve to ask me why I hit her?” Glenn bellowed as he trembled with anger. He pointed at Isabella in frustration and exclaimed, ”You ask her yourself what she has been up to today!”

Feeling anguished, Isabella innocently replied, ”Dad, I haven't done anything wrong.”

”Well, if you have something to say, why don't you come down and talk to us to clarify it first? Why did you have to hit our daughter all of a sudden without any reason? Don't you know that your daughter has just been badly beaten today? Why did you get so furious at her?” Amelia retorted with indignation, while holding her pitiful, trembling daughter in her arms.

”Why did I get mad?” Glenn had no words to express his disgust and left out a bitter sneer instead. He sharply pointed at Isabella's nose and berated her, ”You can offend anyone else in this city. But why did you have to be so rash and offend James Shi? Because of you, the Shi family cancelled the cooperation that I had worked so hard on and we have consequently lost three hundred million in a flash! Furthermore, Mr. John Shi has also let it be known in the business circle that he would never cooperate with us in the future. Now, tell me. Shouldn't I have hit you?”

Isabella couldn't stop crying and her shoulders shook uncontrollably all the time. She looked at her father with panic and fear in her eyes.

She didn't expect that the little trick she had played at noon had offended James so indignantly. Definitely, she had made a grave mistake.

”No, it's not my fault. It's not my fault.” Isabella vehemently denied and pushed the blame on Nina. ”It's because of Nina. Nina lied to Mr. James Shi. He was deceived by Nina, not me. I had nothing to do with it.”

The root of all her misery had been caused by Nina. It was all her fault.

Why should she be the one to get slapped again and again?

Isabella stood her ground and explained unwillingly, ”It's not my fault at all. This is all caused by Nina. Why don't you go beat Nina up? Why did you have to go home and bully your own daughter instead?”
