Chapter 672 - Six Hundred And Seventy-two: The Great Genuis (1/2)

The third point of view:

Isabella was in her office going through the pile of documents on her desk when her phone rang. Normally she would have ignored it because she had a strict rule of never to be disturbed while working. However, this was her private line and whoever was calling her must be a family member.

Snatching her gaze away from the papers, Isabella glanced down at the phone screen only to discover that it was Anabelle. She sighed knowing that the little bug was about to bother her.

Reluctantly, Isabella picked up her phone saying, ”Hello?”

However, what pierced Isabella's ear the next second was Anabelle's excited scream and she hung up on her immediately.

With a huff, Isabella rubbed her ear and confirmed that she could still hear again. Her face distorted in anger immediately, that stupid girl wanted to render her deaf!

Anabelle called her once again and this time she did more of the talking than shouting, ”Isabella, why did you end the call?”

Isabella retorted, ”You should be lucky the call was the only thing I ended,” she hinted that she would end her life - if that was possible.

Anabelle scoffed, ”Why do you have to be so scary?” however, she was not defeated by her cousin's cold reception and went ahead to say, ”Anyway, guess what happened... ?”

”Julie proposed to you,” Isabella answered before Anabelle could even finish her guessing game.

”Huh?” Anabelle was stunned, ”How did you know?”

”Simple, some people are not as dumb as you,” She answered.

But then, Anabelle didn't cry this time because she was already used to her cousin's sharp tongue. Moreover, she was too happy to be sad anyway. So she didn't take Isabella's reply to heart. Today was too good to be sad.

Isabella frowned when she realized that Anabelle was too happy to react to her comment. To her, Anabelle's reaction to her taunts was usually interesting and gratifying. Just like when a person laughs because one made a joke, Anabelle's reactions were a source of amusement to Isabella and no, she's not a sadist.

”I saw it on your post?” Isabella finally answered - as a human being should.

”Oh, you saw my post?” Anabelle celebrated, ”Oh my God you saw my post?! Have you been following me?! I didn't know you cared this much for me, my darling cousin?! What's your user name, I need to make a shout out to you?!” She kept rambling on and on and on.

Isabella pressed her temple, this was why she didn't want Anabelle around her. Anabelle was like an endless ball of energy.

”I don't have time for this, Anabelle. Goodbye,” Isabella was just about to end the call when she heard,

”Wait!”

She hesitated but not before asking in a gruff manner, ”What now?”

”You're at the office, right?”

”Yes, and why do you ask?” Isabella found it suspicious that Anabelle would ask that question.

”Wonderful then!” Anabelle exclaimed, ”I would be coming to keep you -”
