Semua Bab A Rebound? No, He's an Upgrade: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Sheila's expression turned hideous.Richard approached them from behind, looking menacing as he growled, "What are you trying to do when you're right outside the police station? Do you want these outsiders to judge us? We can talk about this when we get home!""Mom, let's head inside for now." Cameron tugged on Sheila's arm, speaking to her in a low voice.She glared daggers at Isabel before hurrying inside to see how Winona was doing.Cameron stood beside Isabel. "Come inside with me, Izzy."Samuel took the opportunity to grab Isabel's wrist. He softened his voice and said ingratiatingly, "Babe…"Isabel didn't want to have anything to do with either of them. She shook Samuel off and headed inside the police station without saying a word.Cameron smiled faintly at the sight of her leaving. Then, he looked at Samuel as if he were a piece of trash. The latter gritted his teeth before following everyone inside.When Winona saw Richard and Sheila, she immediately threw her arms aro

Cameron was only stunned for a few seconds. He quickly calmed down, thinking that at least he no longer had to hide his feelings since Isabel knew now. After all, he hadn't wanted to be just a brother to her for a long time. There were too many restrictions around that identity.The next second, love and devotion filled his eyes. "Izzy, you keep saying you and Samuel have known each other for 22 years. Have you forgotten that we knew each other way before you met him?"Isabel didn't even want to look at him. She felt nauseated. She clenched her fists and said, "You're not any better than Samuel, Cameron.""Izzy!""Don't call me that anymore." She didn't hide the disgusted look on her face. She snorted and said, "Dad gave you a look to bring me out here so you could convince me to drop the case, but what are you talking about? I'm serious, Cameron. You're no better than Samuel."She said that a second time, and the words cut into Cameron's heart. He froze where he stood, feeling li

"Alright!" Isabel immediately got up and positively fled.Dominic happened to hang up just as she walked into his office. She asked, "You wanted to see me about something, Mr. Zimmerman?"He put down his phone. "Cameron's investigating me."Her jaw dropped as she stared at him.Meanwhile, he leaned back, looking as laid back as if he'd summoned her for a casual chat. He asked, "Do you want him to find out about me or not?"It wasn't hard to guess why Cameron was looking into Dominic. His suspicions had to have been raised because Dominic's men had stopped his own from finding her both times he'd sent them.Still, it was clear Dominic wasn't afraid of being investigated. If he were, he wouldn't have jokingly thrown the ball into her court.With that thought in mind, Isabel said carelessly, "Do whatever makes you happy, Mr. Zimmerman."He raised an eyebrow, evidently surprised by her answer. He teased, "Aren't you worried he'll find out that we're involved?"She knew enough abou

Isabel felt her blood run cold at Samuel's words. She'd always thought Winona was the one behind all of this, but it turned out the latter had Richard helping her the whole time. He'd even helped her plan the whole thing!"I swear I'm telling the truth, babe. I'll meet a horrible end if I'm lying to you." Samuel crossed his heart, trying his best to prove that she could trust him."Babe?""Don't touch me!" Isabel snapped.Samuel wanted to step forward to say a few more things, but his phone rang just then. He frowned contemptuously when he saw that it was Winona calling.He was about to tuck his phone away when Isabel said icily, "Go ahead and answer. Maybe she's threatening suicide again.""Babe, please believe me. I've made things clear to her, and it's none of my business whether she lives or dies," Samuel said firmly. But when he saw how unmoved Isabel was, he panicked. "Can't you trust me this once?"Trust?Isabel felt like he was tainting the word by uttering it. She said

Dominic calmly took a drag of his cigarette. He cocked an eyebrow as he looked at Isabel, who had her head lowered to look at her laptop as she sat on the couch. Emotions swirled in his eyes, and he only spoke after a long silence. "She's just working for me. What details do you want?""What the hell? Drop the act, Dominic Zimmerman!" Wayne's voice almost cracked on the other end of the line.Dominic rolled his eyes, wanting to snap his neck."She just got married, and now she's working for you. Others may not know how that's linked, but I know what you're up to. You're a sly bastard, and I don't believe in that dumb three-year wager for a second. I'll wash my hair while doing handstands for three months if you did absolutely nothing!" Wayne cried.Dominic let out an exasperated laugh. He really wanted to head over there to snap Wayne's head now."Come on, spill. Did you swoop in as the other man and steal her from her husband? Or did you just snatch her like the pirate you are?"
