Chapter 235

She carefully put on her makeup, checked herself in the mirror, and covered the bruises from the injury with foundation. She still looked as beautiful as ever.

Finally, she got the courage to call her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend was still the same rich jerk.

Five years ago, she saw Thalassa’s boyfriend, who was handsome and had a noble air about him.

The moment she laid eyes on him, she fell for him, and ended up hooking up with that man, who was Leopold, Thalassa’s boyfriend.

She thought she could become Leopold’s girlfriend this way, but alas, Leopold didn’t give her the time o f day.

Her dream of being Leopold’s girlfriend was crushed, and she had to keep dating her original boyfriend.

She couldn’t afford to blow both chances.

Over the years, Leopold didn’t delete her contact, only to ask her about Thalassa’s whereabouts.

He asked for Thalassa’s address and phone number, and then he never bothered her again..

Isabella had to face reality and thought it was more important to cherish her current boyfriend.

She called her boyfriend Clark and told him she was in the hospital and wanted him to visit.

Soon, Clark arrived.

Clark was wearing a thick gold chain with his belly slightly sticking out. Holding a black leather bag, he r eeked of new money.

He walked into the hospital room and saw Isabella lying on the bed with bandages on both arms and legs. She was no longer the enchanting and charming woman she used to be.

He subconsciously frowned, spat out the toothpick in his mouth, and grumbled, “What did you do to you rself? If you can’t stand up in the future, I’m not having you.”

Facing her boyfriend’s blame, Isabella laughed pleasingly and said, “The doctor said it’s temporary. I’ll be completely healed in three months. Clark, I’m so pitiful and so unlucky.”

Saying that, she pouted in grievance. With tears welling up in her eyes, she showed a pitiful look.

Clark was quite fond of her coquettish and pitiful act. He put the bag on the bedside table, sat next to h er, and said in a crude but protective manner, “Who’s been messing with you? I’ll sort him out!”

Isabella said, “The president of the Sinclair group, Lysander.”

“Holy crap!” Clark jumped up in fright.

He was all high and mighty a moment ago, and now he was scared and intimidated.

He got weak in the knees just hearing Lysander’s name.

He rebuked Isabella, “Anyone but Lysander! If you don’t cherish your life, I do cherish mine.”

Saying that, he grabbed his bag and was about to leave.

Isabella panicked and said, “I took all the blame for you! Lysander knows I tricked him five years ago. H e wants me to pay back that five million dollars! If he finds out that the money was used for your busine ss, he’ll definitely come for you!”

Five years ago, Isabella and Faye deceived Lysander by lying that Thalassa was killed by a dilapidated old house.

Faye gave Isabella all the money Lysander had given her to appease Thalassa’s family.

Isabella threatened Faye that if she didn’t give her the money, she would expose Faye’s secret.

The five million dollars in compensation all went to Isabella’s pocket.

Just as her boyfriend Clark’s business was failing, she gave all the money to Clark for his business.

The reason was that Clark knew about her one–night stand with Leopold and was repulsed by her, trying to break up with her.

But Isabella didn’t want to break up with him. Although Clark was average–

looking, his family ran a business, and his parents were very rich. If Isabella could marry him, she could enjoy a life of luxury.

Clark’s business had lost five million dollars, and he was afraid his parents would find out, so Isabella used the five million dollars to help Clark fill the cracks in his business as a bargaining chip.

In this way, she could continue to be Clark’s girlfriend, and he couldn’t break up with her.

Clark agreed. Then this entanglement lasted for five
