Chapter 393

Bianca's face lit up with a hint of joy when she saw Isabella, but her brows furrowed when she noticed Juliet holding a camera.

"What's this all about, Isabella? Can't I just come over to see you?" Bianca asked, trying to look all innocent.

Isabella sneered inwardly, 'Here we go again with the innocent act. Everyone in town knows how ruthless you are. Who are you trying to fool? Is there any point in pretending?'

"Bianca, do you have any idea how much your words hurt? The media's covered what you've done to me, more than once. I wish I could just believe you now, but..." She spread her hands in a helpless gesture. "The past makes it hard."

Bianca's lips twitched as she heard people around her laughing.

"Isabella, I'm trying to fix things between us..." Bianca started, but Isabella cut her off.

"My dear sister, you always say that. But what have you done this time? Ms. Foster was supposed to be my chosen endorser, but you swooped in and offered her a hundred million dollar endorsement fee. Don't tell me that's a coincidence. I was planning to offer 80 million, but you deliberately went for a hundred million. Isn't this a direct attack on me?" Isabella said, looking all sad.

Isabella, looking distressed, covered her heart, and her distress was caught by the surrounding cameras.

A smirk played on Bianca's lips; Isabella was even better at acting than her.

Bianca opened her mouth to say something, but Isabella cut her off again.

"Bianca, you better leave now. If you keep pushing and provoke my security, who knows if you'll tell the media that it was me who had them hurt you. You know I'm too scared to provoke John. If anything happens to the baby in your belly, John will come after me relentlessly!" Isabella finished, waving to the security guards.

"Why are you all still standing here? Step back, in case you bump into Bianca and she falls down claiming you pushed her. Can you afford to provoke her?" Isabella said to the security guards.

The security guards were startled. They didn't dare to provoke John, so they collectively took a step back, distancing themselves from Bianca.

Bianca clenched her fists. That was exactly what she had been thinking. John didn't want to target Isabella now, which made Bianca somewhat dissatisfied. She needed a reason to make John continue targeting Isabella, so she could achieve her goal.

The best excuse was her unborn child. Even if she couldn't harm the fetus, she could still use it to her advantage.

However, Bianca's plan differed slightly from Isabella's. Bianca planned to fall after seeing Isabella, accusing her of pushing her.

Bianca had no interest in framing a security guard. Who knew if Isabella would push the blame onto them?

Bianca realized her plan couldn't go down now with so many eyes on her. If she got closer to Isabella and faked a fall, it would look too suspicious. Isabella had totally messed up her plans.

"Isabella, am I really such a malicious woman in your eyes?" Bianca asked, trying to sound hurt.

But Isabella didn't even bother to respond. Instead, she turned to Juliet.

"Juliet, did you get the video?" Isabella asked.

Juliet nodded, "Yep, Ms. Taylor. I filmed it and sent it to Mr. Williams just like you said."

"What are you all talking about!" Bianca tried to grab the phone, and Juliet just handed it over without a fuss.

Bianca's face darkened as she saw the video on the phone.

The video had already been sent, so grabbing the phone was pointless.

"Everyone saw she snatched the phone, not that we pushed her. If John asks, you can all back us up," Isabella said, smiling at the onlookers.

Soon, Bianca's phone rang. It was obvious John was calling.

With a grim expression, Bianca answered the call.

"Bianca, come home immediately!" John's low voice came through the phone.

Two bodyguards protecting Bianca approached.

One of them whispered to her, "Ms. Taylor, Mr. Williams seems angry. It's best to listen to him and go back."

Bianca, fuming, almost crushed Isabella's phone in her hand. She wanted to smash it, but too many people were watching.

For appearances' sake, Bianca gritted her teeth and handed the phone to the nearby bodyguard, who then passed it to Isabella.

"Isabella, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. Goodbye." Bianca gave Isabella a long, hard look, then turned to leave.

Watching Bianca's back, Isabella waved, "Goodbye, Bianca. The next time we meet will probably be in ten months or even a year."

Annoyed, Bianca got into the car and left Isabella's company.

Isabella's actions completely thwarted Bianca's plan to use the child to smear her. John, for the safety of the child, would surely be more vigilant.

It would be very difficult for Bianca to see Isabella in the future.

Isabella's plan was a success. When Bianca returned to the mansion, John hurried back and reprimanded her.

"Don't forget that the child in your belly is the most important bargaining chip in our negotiations with my grandfather. If you really want to marry me, it's best not to have any ill intentions towards the baby." After saying this coldly to Bianca, John left the mansion. This time, however, he brought two female bodyguards with him.

Annoyed, Bianca slapped her forehead. These two female bodyguards represented John's intentions. Even going to the bathroom would be accompanied by guards. This was both protection and surveillance.

"Damn you, Isabella, just wait. I will definitely kill you in the future, I swear!" Bianca fumed in her bedroom.
