Isabella first trailed off for a moment. This definitely wasn't what she had expected when she put the call through. She wasn't sure what she had expected, but she knew for certain that she wasn't prepared to hear the voice of a stranger. "Is there no one on the line?" The feminine voice asked. "If there is no one, then I'll be hanging the call.""Hello!" Isabella quickly said, at the verge of exclaiming. She wasn't sure of what to do, but she wasn't going to let the call end this way. She had put a call through for a particular reason. Even though what had followed bruised her expectations. Although Isabella had spoken to Bethany a few times, she could recognize her voice very clearly. But this voice that was coming from the other end of the phone at this moment, was definitely not the voice of Bethany. She didn't know how to approach this situation. There was a certain motive why she had called Irwin. In fact, it was a miracle that the call went through. Perhaps Irwin had been w

"If I drop this call again, best believe. If you call next, I won't answer the call." The lady said very firmly.Isabella could openly tell that this was no longer a kind and plain conversation. The lady was clearly threatening her. She wanted to adopt the same means but she didn't have the leverage and she knew it. "Hold on." Isabella would not let this end this way. She refused to made a fool out of herself. She refused to be made to feel this way. 'I'm not jealous! I don't like him! We are severed! It doesn't matter if he's in the bathroom! He doesn't matter if he has something with the lady!'She kept saying to herself, promising herself in her head. As she did this, she continously shook her head. Even though she knew that she wasn't able to convince herself. "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell you this, but..." Isabella trailed off. "Tell him that I want to meet with him. I'll send the location and the address.""He is a busy man." The lady on the phone said. "You should be
Chapter 173
The realization of what just happened was stronger than the physical contact which had just overthrown both the senses and weight of Isabella. Not even in a thousand years would she ever have imagined what just happened to her. When she had come here, she had pictured an entirely different thing in her mind. What was happening at that moment was sudden and so unexpected. "Oh my days!" One of the clientele gasped at the sight. Naturally, when someone is slapped, it always ended with perhaps a spin or two then the person fall down. Or something around that corner of reaction. This on the other hand was so powerful that it would seem as though the victim had just been hit by a tornado. The effect of the slap had picked Isabella up and ruthlessly spin her to the point that when she landed, she broke the chair on which she ought to be seating. Isabella sat there dazed. It felt like her brain and hearing had both been snatched from her. She felt like she was seating on a pool of water,

"What are you saying old man!" Irwin snapped out of the blue. "This is my Aunt! How could you say such a thing."The old man didn't know how to react to his sudden reaction. Aunt Manny also looked a little shocked by it. Irwin instantly took a glance at her. At once, he could tell that he had acted so awkward. He was always so awkward around her. He couldn't explain why!"Do you I look so bad?" Aunt Manny said, staring at him. "What!" Irwin felt dumb by her reply. This was never what he had expected. There were a lot of things happening in his head at that moment. He wished he could put a grip on it in order for him to sort his thoughts. "No. You are extremely beautiful!" Irwin said without thinking. "I was just saying that because I didn't want him to make you feel uncomfortable."This was the truth. Hearing the man refer to her as his wife was something that took him off balance. Although the truth was that when he was younger, he used to wish that whoever he would date would be

"What just happened right now?""I'm just as speechless as you are. Did that really just happen?""I can't tell whether or not my eyes were playing tricks on me.""Did that guy just disappear?"As the onlookers discussed what had just happened, the mother of Ariah hugged her daughter very tightly. She didn't know what could have happened to her precious daughter.Ariah on the other hand was staring in the direction of the man who had saved her. Irwin on the other hand was wondering what had just happened. He couldn't tell what it was. Just as much as the people were stunned and speechless, so was he. He was trying so much to interprete it but he just couldn't. How could he interprete something that he didn't anticipate?He had been trying to avoid the annoying old man who was making him mad just speaking with Aunt Manny. At that same time, he was trying not to think about the funny thoughts that was brewing like glasses of beer in his head. The spark that had hit him in the chest, e

Isabella Rolan had just made her way back into the Rolan Family mansion. She was looking quite dishelved, her face swollen, and part of her body bruised by the somersault."Isabella, is that you?" Jessica asked excitedly. Soon enough, it would be evening and they would go to the bank to cash out the cheque. Aside from this, so many of their old associates have been calling them back. In fact, Jessica didn't know how the people got to find out about the huge cheque. After all, one billion wasn't such a little money. Jessica hurried through the hallway and towards the door in excitement with her iPad to show Isabella a proof of all the callers that had reached out to them in that short period of that. "Would you believe that the Hogwart Brothers was one of the fifty companies that called today to talk business? In fact, I had to switch off my phone in order to ---"Jessica couldn't help but choke on the words as she trailed off. "Isabella?" She was shocked to see Isabella this way.
Chapter 177
Isabella Rolan had just finished getting treated by the family doctor. She looked quite pale, and her face was slowly regaining its spirit. The whiteness was relieving by the second. All the family members were gathered around the couch. They couldn't move her to her bedroom because the matter was urgent, hence the doctor had decided to commence the treatment right in that spot. "Doctor?" Jessica asked, looking away from Isabella to the doctor. "Are you going to say something or not?" Dorathy couldn't hold her cool. James on the other hand was trying not to explode yet. Since the two women had spoken, adding to it would only seem like a making a nuisance of himself. He'd rather not do that. "Hold on..." The doctor said, quite intent while gazing at the young lady. With the facial expression on the faces of the family members, it was evident that they were not pleased with the reply of the doctor. Yet there was nothing they could do to shift the tide. Suddenly, Isabella sneezed.

Irwin Buckham was sitting opposite Aunt Manny. Although he was the one who had asked her a question, yet the whole atmosphere seemed to have changed in the blinking of an eye. When he had hugged her, she had remained stiff for a moment after his question. Realizing that she didn't react, he had pulled away to look at her face carefully to observe it. Seeing a tear stray from her eye, his heart had become shattered. He didn't want to think that someone had hurt her. Before he could inquire of the situation, she had moved away from him. She had walked to the couch and was seated where she was at the moment. Ever since then, he had also walked back to the couch and seated opposite her. The tide had change. Earlier she was worried about him, right now he was worried about her. When he thought about it, earlier she had asked him what he wanted and she had offered him wine. Perhaps he should also offer her something to help her with the moment. He was preparing to stand up when she spo

Aunt Manny's head was very blank. The moment she told Irwin about the secret and her reason of holding back, she imagined that he was going to a lot of terrible things to her since he has the instinct of a Supreme Commander. When Irwin had suddenly pulled her up and made her sit on his lap, she didn't know what to do. She had thought that, perhaps he was willing to let go of the grudge and assure her not to worry about the past. But when he suddenly kissed her out of the blue, her head had went blank. There was nothing in the whole wide world that could have prepared her for this. Not even if she were to delve into the most intricate practice of meditation. There were a million and one thoughts running all over her mind. What in the world was happening? What had gone over Irwin? What was wrong with him? How could he randomly kiss her without warning?These were all the thoughts she had been trying to sort out while Irwin got busy with her lips, until suddenly a familiar voice had i

She fell to her side, landing on her lower side. Irwin walked away from the living room and headed in another direction, although the same direction that Aunt Manny had taken. At first, she thought perhaps that Irwin had done all of these, although out of free will, yet without being aware that she was going to find out about it. One of those things that were done in secret. When she had strolled in and had caught them in action, she thought he was lost in the moment which might be why he didn't hear her voice. Although that hurt to think, but she wanted to believe that. But right now that he had spoken to her, telling her to leave while barely looking at her, she came to the harsh and hard realization. It was too hard for her to swallow. How could anyone take this in and accept it? How could she come to accept that Irwin Buckham, the man who had kissed her in the open would be aware of her presence and still chose to give more attention and care to another woman?Aside from all o
