Chapter 442 Shelly stood in the courtyard and had no intention of entering the house. She also knew that the Barker family did not like her. Moreover, she was not that familiar with Yvette.
Isabella saw a girl standing quietly beside the small pond with a letter in her hand when she cout with Yvette.
Her long and straight black hair was scattered behind her back, and there was a jeweled hair clip on the left side of her temple. She was wearing a fairy-like light yellow sweater and a pair of light blue slim-fit jeans. She looked pure and beautiful.
She seemed a little uneasy and kept her head lowered. When she heard footsteps, she suddenly raised her head and looked over.
Isabella squinted slightly as she sized up the other party with interest.
Yvette, on the other hand, looked serious. She walked to Shelly's side politely and asked, "Hello, Miss Flouder.
Why are you looking for me?" Shelly was also very polite. She hurriedly said, Tm sorry to suddenly cand disturb you, but... | wanted to hand you a letter." As she spoke, she handed the letter to Yvette.
Yvette took the letter and opened it. It was an invitation.
"A birthday party?" Yvette looked at Shelly in surprise.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShelly was a little uneasy as she said, "Yeah, it's my birthday party the day after tomorrow. | invited many of my peers within the circle. | thought...
‘Although we haven't interacted much in the past, what's happening between the elders is their business. It has nothing to do with us. Yvette, are you willing to come?" She looked at Yvette anxiously and expectantly after saying her piece.
"Um..." Yvette was in a dilemma as she held the invitation At this moment, Isabella walked over. She stood beside Yvette and glanced at the invitation. She then smiled and said, "Yvette, since Miss Flouder has personally cto send you the invitation, let's go! * Besides, what she said makes sense. What's going on between the elders is the elders’ business. That has nothing to do with you. | just cto Maestria, so I'm not familiar with anything. Bringalong when the tcomes." With that, Isabella looked at Shelly and said, "Miss Flouder, you don't mind bringing another person with you, right?" Only then did Shelly notice Isabella.
She could not help but be stunned the moment she saw Isabella's looks. She was a socialite from a wealthy family and had seen many handsmen and beautiful women. There were also many with outstanding temperaments. However, this was the first tshe had seen someone with such a unique temperament.
She had only glanced at her, yet she felt that Isabella exuded an aura that made people revere her and becinexplicably curious about her.
In other words, Isabella was very attractive.
Compared to her mysterious temperament, her beautiful looks were secondary.
' Yvette, who is this lady?’ Shelly looked away from Isabella's face in embarrassment and turned her gaze to Yvette.
Yvette pushed the colorful glasses up the bridge of her nose and hesitated. Seeing that Isabella had no intention of hiding her identity, she said, "Oh, this is my cousin-in-law. She just cto Maestria today." Shelly was a little stunned and could not react for a moment. She paused for two seconds before saying, "Oh, she's your cousin-in-law. She's so beautiful. Of course, | welcyou to my birthday banquet with Yvette." Shelly said with a smile, but her eyes were still a little blank. It was clear that she was still not sure of Isabella's identity, but she was too embarrassed to ask in detail.
At this moment, Hector walked out. Shelly glanced at him and did not stay any longer. She turned around and left after exchanging sformalities.
Hector walked over and stared at Shelly's back. He asked curiously, "Yvette, Isabelle, what is Miss Flouder doing here? Why did she suddenly cto look for you?" Isabella turned her head and saw how curious Hector was. She could not help but smile. "Miss Flouder invited your sister to her birthday party." "Huh?' Hector was confused.
Yvette frowned and said, "Isabelle, actually, | don't want to attend her birthday party at all. | don't like events with too many people." Seeing her like this, the smile in Isabella's eyes deepened. "Just treat it as showing your face there. I'll be there with you." "Look, even Hector feels that Miss Flouder's invitation is very strange. Since that's the case, why don't we go and see what she wants?" Isabella said meaningfully.
Yvette's eyes widened slightly. ' Isabella, are you saying that she has other motives?" Isabella said, "We won't know until we go!” Yvette nodded thoughtfully.
"Weren't you going to fetch Stanton home? Hurry up and go. Don't delay.
Isabella said.
Only then did Yvette and Hector remember that they had to do that and left in a hurry.
In the evening, Yvette and Hector returned to the house with Stanton Barker.
Unexpectedly, Stanton was not in a sorry state.
However, the cheerful atmosphere in the room fell silent the moment Stanton returned, Megan's expression darkened as she stood up and walked into the kitchen. It was obvious that she did not want to talk to Stanton.
Stanton looked at Draxton and Isabella and felt a little awkward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHector and Yvette stood behind Stanton. Seeing this, Hector helplessly shrugged.
Isabella and Draxton stood up and walked toward Stanton. After introducing Isabella to Stanton, Draxton said, "Stanton, | have something to tell you." Stanton nodded and said, "Followto the study." Stanton was a few years younger than Jeanne Lockwood. He was at an age where he was most mature and flirtatious. The genes of the Barker family were not bad. He was tall and had long legs. He was handsand exuded a noble aura. He looked incredibly attractive.
As soon as Stanton went upstairs, Megan cout of the kitchen with a plate of fruits. Isabella said, "Megan, Stanton is really handsome. No wonder people are interested in him." Megan's expression stiffened. She was clearly in a bad mood.
Isabella continued, "Megan, you and Stanton have been together for so many years. Has he done anything to let you down in the past?" Megan shook her head and said angrily, He's not bad looking, but my family background and looks are not inferior to his. | would have divorced him a long tago if he letdown. No one would be able to stop me!" "Isabella, you don't know this. Actually, my father is henpecked and listens to my mother about everything. He's basically a gigolo my mother owns. He won't mess around!" Hector interjected with something surprising.
Megan's face turned green with anger. She turned around and slapped Hector's forehead mercilessly. "You brat, don't talk if you have nothing to say. You have such a big mouth!" Yvette originally wanted to agree with Hector's words. However, she pulled her neck back when she saw Hector being beaten up.
Isabella found this family rather interesting. After laughing, she said seriously, "I'm sure you know in your heart that Stanton won't do anything to let you down. You shouldn't be angry. Stanton will feel heartache if anything happened to you from being angry.
"Draxton has already sent members of the Executive Department to find out where that woman is. Everything will be revealed when we find that woman." Tears welled up in Megan's eyes as she said uncertainly, "He was tricked. What if something really happened between him and that woman when he was unconscious? 1-1.
Isabella could tell that Megan really loved Stanton. However, it was precisely because of that love that she could not tolerate any stains in their relationship.
Isabella was silent for a moment. She might not be as certain of her love as Megan was now if Draxton encountered such a thing and she was in the middle of it.
" Megan, we should trust Stanton more. He has been devoted to you all these years. He's a determined and loyal man.
"Someone like him won't cross the line easily even if he was tricked." Megan's expression looked a little better.
Isabella said, "The person who did this has malicious intent. It's very likely that she's targeting your relationship with Stanton.
"The Barker family is naturally powerful when it is harmonious. However, it will be a different situation if internal strife and cracks appear." Megan was deep in thought before she sighed, "I understand what you mean. No matter what happens, | will be rational.’ At the stime, in the study, Draxton asked seriously, "Stanton, tellthe truth. Did you do anything to let Megan down?" Stanton smiled bitterly. Tm afraid you won't believeif | say no. | don't even believe it myself.
"However, I'm sure | really didn't do it."
