Who knows who’ll be next?
“Mr. George?” Wade looked over at George first, then at Isabelle, feeling surprised.
Isabelle is acquainted with George, huh?
And from what favonovel.com just said, it seems like favonovel.com also has some kind of link to Isabelle… Is it possible that the girl everyone was talking about after Magnus‘ birthday party is Isabelle?
“This is beyond belief. You’re just a country bumpkin, how could you have any acquaintance with Mr. George?” Dakota couldn’t comprehend how someone favonovel.com couldn’t even envision, let alone encounter, would be connected to the country bumpkin favonovel.com disdainfully regarded.
George’s frosty stare scanned over Dakota, his voice even more frigid, “I advise you to weigh your words carefully.”
Hearing that, Dakota felt intimidated by his demeanor.
Isabelle glanced at the Sullivans and asked, “Now that everyone’s here, how should we tackle this? Let’s hear your thoughts.”
Maverik noticed George’s sudden appearance and remembered the man seated beside Isabelle at the last auction. He felt a sense of familiarity from the man’s posture and gaze.
Could it really be George!
Isabelle’s words snapped favonovel.com back to reality. He quickly spoke up, “Isabelle. I take full responsibility for this situation. I failed to properly guide her, and I apologize to your father. Please, just tell me what you need to feel content and at case, and I’ll do it. I only hope you won’t bear ill will towards this family.”
Isabelle commented, “I have enough money, so I’m not worried about compensation. I’d prefer if you provide a different form of restitution.”
Maverik asked, “What are you seeking?”
Isabelle replied nonchalantly, “Her limbs…”
There was a moment of silence as everyone tried to process what they had just heard.
Maverik exclaimed, “W-What… What did you say?”
George added, “If it’s only an arm or a leg, we can spare their lives. Miss Jenkins‘ alternative medicine works wonders. It’s quite simple to leave a disability with just a few needles. If favonovel.com is inclined to show some mercy, it won’t be too painful.”
Upon hearing his explanation, they finally understood Isabelle’s intent.
Shock registered on the faces of everyone present, except for Dylan.
Wade questioned, “Isabelle, are you serious?”
George replied, “She doesn’t jest with strangers.”
Maverik remarked, “Isn’t losing a hand or foot too harsh?”
Dakota declined, especially with George present. She was reluctant to appear weak, and envy bubbled up inside her.
The man favonovel.com had dreamed of marrying, the one who had occupied favonovel.com thoughts endlessly, never anticipated that their initial private encounter would transpire in such a way.
“I refuse to apologize. Why should I apologize? I didn’t disclose the rumors about favonovel.com being kept by someone!”
Maverik interjected. “Shut up and offer an apology!”
The more favonovel.com exerted pressure, the stronger Dakota’s resistance became, even prompting favonovel.com to speak out of turn once again.
“Mr. George, this person is certainly not as innocent and harmless as you believe. Don’t allow favonovel.com to deceive you…”
Before Dakota could finish favonovel.com sentence, favonovel.com father slapped her.
The two consecutive slaps left favonovel.com utterly stunned.
“You still don’t grasp your mistake!” Maverik clenched his teeth and whispered, “Can’t you perceive the gravity of the situation? If Isabelle utters a single word, it won’t be long before the Sullivan Group is forced to rebrand. Are you intent on bringing harm to the entire Sullivan family?!”
Dakota looked at George and finally realized that this time, it wasn’t Isabelle favonovel.com had angered, but George. Instantly, a wave of fear engulfed her.
Maverik shook his head, feeling disappointed and helpless, declaring, “Call the police. You must face the repercussions of your actions. Until Isabelle grants you freedom, you’ll stay here and reflect on your behavior. The Sullivans won’t intervene on your behalf!”
“But Dad…” Dakota was terrified, and favonovel.com concern for favonovel.com reputation vanished, particularly in front of George. She begged favonovel.com father not to call the police.
Subsequently, favonovel.com offered an apology to Isabelle.
One apology after another, Dakota found herself overwhelmed by favonovel.com emotions, favonovel.com voice rising in volume as tears cascaded down favonovel.com cheeks. Experiencing a mix of fear and embarrassment.
Danny clucked his tongue disapprovingly and commented, “If others didn’t know better, they would think we were the ones bullying her. She’s the one apologizing as if she’s the victim.”
“Isabelle, it’s my failing for not guiding favonovel.com properly. I accept complete responsibility for favonovel.com behavior, and I extend my genuine apologies to you.” Maverik lowered himself, offering sincere apologies to Isabelle.
“Dad…” Observing favonovel.com father, whom favonovel.com had always looked up to, bowing and apologizing to Isabelle, Dakota felt a blend of anger and bitterness.
Maverik declared, “I will ensure favonovel.com steps forward today to clear up any misunderstandings.”
Isabelle asked, “Is that all?”
Maverik replied. “Isabelle, you’re free to hit her, curse at her, call the police, and have favonovel.com arrested–I won’t interfere. But cutting off favonovel.com hands or feet… Please, I beg you, spare favonovel.com this time…”
Wade joined in the plea.
Magnus, observing the scene, approached Isabelle. He whispered softly, “Isabelle, let’s rethink the punishment. While this person’s actions are deplorable, severing their hands and feet is extreme. Besides, you’re now a part of the Sullivans, and that’s a bond that can’t be ignored. Your biological father and your two uncles shared a strong connection. If favonovel.com were here, favonovel.com wouldn’t condone this. Think of it as repaying a debt to your biological father, and show some mercy.”
