Chapter 14 

After leaving Sunpeak Construction, Roy and Jack both sighed in relief

Isabel, is that it for this matter?Jack asked

Isabel nodded, Yeah, they’re in the wrong. They won’t take it to court.” 

So, what’s next?Roy inquired

Next, we head to the police station to pick up Alex,Isabel gave them a comfort smile. The footage has already been handed over to clear his name.” 

Jack and Roy nodded in admiration. They knew that if it hadn’t been for Isabel today, neither of them would’ve known what to do. The group of blacksuited bodyguards alone was enough to intimidate and worry them

Before long, they managed to bring Alex back home. Seeing them return, Hannah was overjoyed

Thank goodness! You’re all safe. Tonight, I’ll cook something special to celebrate!She said with teary eyes

Mom, you don’t even know how incredible Isabel was today! If it weren’t for her, there’s no way Alex would be backRoy eagerly recounted the day’s harrowing events

It’s not a big deal,Isabel said with a grin, casually brushing it off. I’m going to check on Dad now.” 

A few days later, the Clyde family arranged a dinner with the Swanson family

Mr. and Mrs. Swanson, this is our daughter, Amelia! We brought her here today to formally introduce her,” Rosy said with a smile

Amelia graciously greeted them. But Mrs. Swanson glanced at her briefly, maintaining a polite smile while sneering internally

This? A true princess?She wondered. She’s nothing but a bumpkin. Look at all those gaudy accessoriesshe’s no better than a nouveau riche. She clearly lacked any sense of refinement.’ 

Mr. Swanson,Caius said, testing the waters with the Swanson family, the kids are all grown up now, and Amelia just turned eighteen. I think it’s about time we started planning their marriage. It’d give us peace of mind as parents.” 

Mr. Swanson looked at his wife, who immediately replied with a polite smile

No rush,Mrs. Swanson replied with a polite smile. Amelia’s only eighteen, and she’s just reunited with your family. She and Liam haven’t had much opportunity to bond yet. Let’s give them some time to get to know each other better.” 

Caius and Rosy’s smiles froze. They both realized the Swansons were stalling

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Caius raised his glass to Mr. Swanson, steering the conversation elsewhere

Dad, Mom, I’m stepping out for a moment,” Liam, bored of the topic, spoke up as he got up from the table

As Liam left, Rosy quickly gave Amelia a knowing look. Catching on instantly, Amelia excused herself and followed him

Amelia had taken a liking to Liam as her fiancé. She thought he was leagues better than the crippled fiancé the Galvez family had arranged for her

The Swanson family was a household of prestige and impeccable reputation. Amelia knew that marrying into such a family would guarantee a life of luxury and ease

Excuse me, Mr. Swanson.Amelia caught up with Liam

Something you need?Liam asked, giving her a onceover

This woman is too tacky. He thought to himself. Compared to Isabel, Amelia was way out of her league. I think I prefer Isabel’s cool and distant demeanor‘ 

Mr. Swanson, are you just getting some air? I’ll keep you company. After all, you’re my fiancé. Even though we’ve never met before, I’ve admired you for a long timeAmelia said coyly

Liam looked at her exaggerated mannerisms and smirked. Trying to seduce me, huh?He thought. Women like this are a dime a dozen. What a disgrace for the Clyde family to have such a shameless daughter

But since she was throwing herself at him, Liam saw no reason to reject her. He hooked a finger under her chin

You really like me?He asked

Yes.” Amelia shyly lowered her head

Liam raised his eyebrow, Have you ever been in a relationship before?” 

Amelia shook her head. Never. Not even once.” 

She recalled her poor situation in the past. The Galvez family had too many mouths to feed, including a disabled father. No one dared to propose matches for her familynobody wanted to marry their daughters off there

Not to mention her. Even Roy, her elder sister, had never been introduced to anyone. Their dire circumstances scared everyone off

Really?Liam said, his interest sparked. Fine, I can help you with that.” 

He took Amelia’s hand and guided her into a nearby lounge. Amelia followed him hesitantly, unsure of what to expect next

Mr. Swanson, what are you doing?She asked nervously

Relax. You said you liked me, didn’t you?Liam started undressing her, This is how I show my affection.” 

Mr. Swanson, I don’t thinkAmelia stammered, scared out of her wits

Oh, I see, you’re not interested in a relationship with me,Liam said, gazing at her with a feigned expression of sadness. Well, I guess I’ll just leave then. Sorry for the misunderstanding.” 

He made as if to leave. Amelia panicked and grabbed his arm

Oh please, Mr. Swanson, just stay with me.She begged

Fine, if that’s what you want, then I’ll stay.Liam turned back, a smirk of triumph crossing his face

Meanwhile, Isabel and Seraphina were chilling at the same restaurant

Isabel, I know things aren’t what they used to be for you. If you ever need anything, just holler, alright?Seraphina said

leaning back in her chair, her eyes full of concern

Don’t worry about me, I’m good!Isabel laughed, waving her hand dismissively as she took a sip of her drink

She knew that ever since Seraphina found outshe wasn’t the real Clyde daughter, she’d been stressing about her wellbeing. but Isabel was used to it by now

Just then, Seraphina’s phone buzzed. After a quick chat, she pushed her chair back and stood up, grabbing her coat

My dad needs me for something. I’m going to bounce,” she said, flashing Isabel a quick smile

Alright, I’m about done here too. You go ahead, I’ll have the waiter box up some food,Isabel said, giving Seraphina a reassuring nod. She was planning to take it to Blake at the hospital later

Cool, see you soon!Seraphina said with a wave, heading out the door

After she left, Isabel sat back, waiting a moment for her food. A waiter approached with a tray

Your order’s ready, Miss. Enjoy!The waiter greeted

Isabel grabbed the bag with a grateful smile and headed toward the exit, but just as she was about to leave, the door to a nearby lounge suddenly swung open with a loud thud

Liam stepped out, casually adjusting his belt with one hand. His eyes landed on Isabel, and his jaw tightened

Isabel Galvez?he said, his voice dripping with surprise

Amelia followed right behind him, her eyes narrowing as she spotted Isabel. She froze for a second, then stormed forward, her fists clenched at her sides

Isabel, what the hell are you doing here?she snapped, her voice laced with irritation as she took a few steps closer

You must’ve found out the Swanson and Clyde families are meeting here today to talk marriage. You came to mess it up. didn’t you?Amelia spat, her eyes flashing with accusation

Let me make this crystal clear: I’m the real Clyde daughter, and Liam’s my fiancé. So you’d better stop drooling over him, or I’ll make sure you regret it!” 

Isabel shot her a cold look, her lips curling into a mocking smile. Shut your mouth. You’ve been sold off and still think you’re in charge? I’ve seen plenty of idiots, but you’re next level stupid.She leaned in closer, her voice low and biting

Who are you calling stupid-Amelia began, stepping toward Isabel, her hands balled into fists

Liam, clearly enjoying the chaos, casually draped an arm around Amelia’s shoulder, his smirk growing wider as he took in the scene

See? Amelia’s the real deal now, and we’re the real couple.” He looked at Isabel, his voice full of mock sympathy. I thought ! was going to marry you, but turns out you’re just a fake.” 

Isabel snorted, rolling her eyes as she took a step back, her face twisting in disdain. Congrats. A queen of drama and her lapdoga match made in heaven, huh?”
