Chapter 45
To shut Make ups, babel slowly reached out and put her arms around his waist.
She could see the smile on his face in the rearview mirror. Apparently, he was over
was overjoyed
They returned to the Galvez family’s place, and she went to her room and called Baxter.
Yet the call wasn’t commected.
Feeling a little discouraged, she thought, Mr. Harper is impossible to track down. “Every time try to find him. I can’t, and I can’t even reach him by phone. I can only talk to him unless he contacts me himself. Well, forget it I’ll ask him about my relationship with Blake when I have the chance.
Just as she was about to put away her phone, it suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, and she answered the phone.
““Tabel, it’s me.” Rosy’s voice rang out.
Jubel had blocked her number, so she uses a different number to call.
“What’s up?” Isabel asked coldly
ou free tomorrow! Come by Rosy said.
“Are you
“No, I’m not.” Isabel turned her down directly
Rosy was stunned, surprised to hear Isabel’s refusal. She thought Isabel would be overjoyed
After a few seconds, she said, forcing a smile, “Isabel, I know you don’t have classes tomorrow. Just come over, OK? We haven’t seen you for a long time, and we miss you so much
babel scoffed, wondering how Rosy managed to say these hypocritical words out le
out loud.
As she was curious about what the family was up to, she agreed, “OK, I’ll be there tomorrow morning
After hanging up the phone, Isabel went out.
There were few people at home today. Hannah had prepared the meal, and Jack and Roy were working overtime and hadn’t come back yet. “Babel, Wake,
e, dig in Hannah put the plates in front of them, all the food looking delicious.
Thank you. Mom,” label smiled.
“Thank you, Mrs. Galvez, Blake smiled at the same time, feeling that living with the Galvezs was a blessing every day.
The next day arrived, and Isabel was about to go to the Clyde family’s villa.
Blake set his sights on her again. “Isabel, where are you going? I’ll take you”
She said concisely. “The Clyde family’s villa.”
“What?” He was surprised. “Do you miss your adoptive parents Are yo
you going back to pay them a visit?”
“No. I’m going to see what tricks they are playing” Isabel put a stern face.
Blake sensed something off “If I’m correct… You hate them, right?”
“Yes” She nodded.
He said, “I heard that things have been going against their way tharse days. They were cheated out of hundreds of millions of dollars in business and got involved with some underworld. Their feud with the Swanson family is all over the news.”
“You’re quite well–informed Label glanced at him.
He sandled sheepishly. “Of course. Nothing escapes my eyes. But kabel, don’t tell me you’ve got something to do with this

“Actually, that Calus isn’t cut out for business at all. I’d heard rumors about him back when I was with the Yates family.
“Oceania Group used to prop the Clydes up, and after the group pulled out this year, the family has never been able to get back on their feet,” he
cominued.
He was the former CEO of the Yates Corporation, after all. Therefore, he had a keener insight into the world of business than most,
“Caius is quite a good–for–nothing,” Isabel agreed. She knew that even if the Clydes still were backed up by Ocrania Group, they couldn’t make any achievements at all.
After a while, they arrived at the Clyde family’s villa. The electric bike could only go so fast.
The servant. Damian Chandler, at the gate, saw Isabel and opened the door happily. “Miss Clyde, you’re back.”
Hi. Damian, label smiled.
“It’s been a long time. I’m so glad to see you.” Damian sighed,
“How have you been, Damian?” she asked.
“Great Mr. Clyde and Mrs. Clyde are expecting you, Miss Clyde. Come on in, Damian said.
ways thinks.
As he watched Isabel’s back as she entered, he sighed again, thinking. Compared to Miss Isabel, Miss Amelia is so rude. Miss Amelia always servants like me work for the family and are inferior to her, and she always humiliates us verbally
“But Miss Isabel is different. She has been here for years and has been very polite and respectful to us. How I wish Miss Isabel was part of the family Amelia, who was upstairs admiring the jewelry, heard the servant’s report that Isabel had arrived and immediately became high–spirited.
“How did she get here?” she asked the servant.
The servant replied. “She came by electric bike”
Amelia gave a smug smile, thinking. “Sure enough, Isabel is so poor. She can’t even afford to take a taxi. I’m going to embarrass her now!
family besides Lucian and Maxwell.
Isabel entered the living room and saw everyone in the famil
Lucian had been dejected after his business failed whereas Maxwell was still in the hospital after his arm had been chopped off. Seeing Isabel, Rosy enthusiastically stepped forward and took her hand. “Babel, you’re finally back. I hope you haven’t lost any weight.”
Tubel, have the Galvezs treated you nicely! If not, do tell us Caius hypocritically said.
Isabel glanced at him indifferently. Didn’t you tell me not to pester you? Why do you want me back today?”
Caius didn’t respond. Usually, he would have been angry by now. Yet today, they wanted something from her, so he had to bear with it for now. Ethan said, “Isabel, Mom and Dad miss you and want to talk to you”
Roger chimed in “Isabel, you lived with us for eighteen years no matter what. We care about you.”
Lucas echoed, “Indeed. Isabel, we all miss you very much and worry that you’re suffering living with the Galvers
Tabel found all of them hypocritical. Not bothering to waste her time on them, she said. “Tm leaving if nothing che
“label, where are you going!” Amelia came downstairs wearing all her jewelry, wanting to make Isabel feel inferior.
To stop label from leaving, Rosy hurried forward and said, “Sit down. Habel. We want a word with you. It’s true that we missed you, and another reason I called you back is we have something to discuss with you”
“What?” Isabel said, thinking, Finally, I knew you wanted something
Rosy said, “We know you must have been suffering living at the Galvez family’s home, so we want you to have 130 thousand dollars. You can use the mancy to buy something for both you and them. How about that?
Isabel immediately knew they had an ulterior motive, though 150 thousand dollars wasn’t much.
She asked. “Mrs. Clyde, there’s no free lunch. What do you want from me?”

Basy smiled awkwardly, “Kabel, we do have a request. Take the money and walk away so that Anel can be with her home again OC?
Isabel thought, Trance? Blake? Well, well. They’re so shameless. They actually want to suck, Blake’s floral now!
