Chapter 732
No.1
Clearly, they were using social media to destroy her reputation.
Did they truly despise her this much?
Nathaniel's hand settled gently on her shoulder.
His voice was low and reassuring. "I'll have Dominic handle this immediately."
"Unnecessary." Isabella's expression turned icy again.
She was accustomed to their cruelty. There was no point in sadness.
Undoubtedly, Victoria had orchestrated this mess before her departure.
Victoria was leaving tonight anyway.
Isabella wanted to see how the Montgomerys would react.
No.2
Yes, they had disowned her.
But they would come crawling back to her within a day!
Oliver looked puzzled. "But why not, Mommy? Uncle Dominic can fix anything! He's amazing!"
Isabella kept the phone and comforted him. "It's alright, Oliver. We don't need to stoop to their level. Remember, if a dog bites you, you don't bite it back."
"Hmm... But we can kick them! Kick them all!" Oliver retorted angrily, his voice still filled with childish innocence.
Isabella nearly choked. Why were children so difficult to teach these days...
Nathaniel intervened. "Oliver, let Mommy rest now. I will handle everything else."
"Oh, right! Mommy, you need sleep–remember the little baby. I'll walk you."
Oliver carefully supported her back toward the bedroom.
No.3
Isabella was speechless. Perhaps he would never let go of this imaginary baby.
She was exhausted from last night's lack of sleep and the day's events.
Just as they walked down the hallway...
CRASH. CRASH. SMASH.
The glass windows shattered violently.
Shards flew everywhere, assaulting the trio.
Attack!
Nathaniel immediately shielded Isabella and Oliver.
Glass shards rained down upon his back.
No.4
"Take Christopher upstairs," commanded Nathaniel, his voice low and authoritative.
Isabella hesitated briefly.
Oliver's safety was paramount.
"Be careful!" She locked eyes with him, her gaze intense.
Isabella was momentarily stunned.
How could he flirt at a time like this?
She gripped Oliver's small hand and hurried up the staircase.
Nathaniel moved to a secure vantage point to assess the threat.
Recognition dawned.
No.5
The assailants outside were...
Isabella reached the second-floor balcony with Oliver.
She looked down.
Her brows furrowed instantly.
Eleanor and Richard stood below.
They had brought nearly a dozen bodyguards.
The guards were violently assaulting her manor.
Pure hatred contorted Eleanor's face.
Thirty minutes prior.
No.6
Richard had consulted the specialist.
The doctor delivered devastating news.
Benjamin's condition was irreversible.
Fury consumed them.
Remembering how Isabella had desecrated the Kensington estate, their hatred burned white-hot.
They wanted her dead.
They mobilized their guards and stormed her property.
Eleanor suddenly looked up, sensing Isabella's gaze.
She scowled viciously.
No.7
"I never imagined you could be so cruel, Isabella! Harming an innocent like Benjamin! Threatening the elders!"
"Produce the antidote now! Or you will never know peace!"
"I will avenge Benjamin and my parents!"
Her voice dripped with venomous hatred.
A bitter taste filled Isabella's mouth.
They had stolen her shares.
They had destroyed her reputation.
Now they attacked her home.
Their malice knew no bounds.
