Female Novel
Chapter 520
Before Isabella could finish speaking, Wrenn's expression became dull.
"Ms. Lopez, I've said I have my goals for doing this. You don't need to ask, let alone interfere. Can't you help withsuch a small matter? Since we've personally come to you, it can be considered that we've put down our pride.We're the elders, so it should be fine to do us a favor, right? Besides, I'm not making you do it for nothing. Otherscan't even have connections with the Smith family, even if they wanted to. Are you letting this chance slip awayand make a loss for the Lopez family?" Wrenn's attitude became firmer as he said this.
Isabella could tell Wrenn was threatening her. If she rejected his request, the Lopez family might be in trouble!
How could Fabio not tell what Wrenn meant? He quickly smiled and smoothed things over.
"Madam Beauvort, Bell doesn't know how to express herself properly, so please don't mind. This matter is only asmall favor, so how can we not help? I also need to thank you for helping the Lopez family so much. We're noteven doing much!" As he finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at Isabella, warning her.
"Bell, what are you in a daze for? Quickly give her a proper answer!"
Isabella felt her heart tightened and her back stiffened. She was a person who valued her relationships, so she wasunwilling to do something to betray her friends.
Neera was her best friend, so she naturally could not agree.
However, if she disagreed, she could not imagine how the Lopez family's situation and her situation in the familywould be.
In the dilemma, she thought carefully and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Madam Wrenn, although I have a good relationship with Dr. Nancy, I can't control what she does, so I can'tguarantee that things will go well. I can help you ask her, but it's hard to say if she'll agree…"
Since Isabella had given in, Wrenn did not continue forcing her.
"It's alright. You only have to help me ask Nancy. The Beauvort family is willing to give anything she wants!"Wrenn smiled as if she was not the one threatening Isabella just now.
Isabella nodded, but she felt uneasy inside. Her instincts were telling her that something must have happened toNeera! She had to find a chance as soon as possible to ask Neera.
…
Half an hour later, Wrenn and Frederic left in satisfaction. novelbin
Isabella was about to leave as well, but she was called out by Fabio. "What's the matter with you today?! Are younot even going to respect the Beauvort family?" Fabio said sternly, as he was still a little angry.
Isabella lowered her head and said perfunctory, "I can't control what Dr. Nancy does…"
Fabio glared at her sharply., "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You have a good relationship withNeera, so aren't you trying to protect her just now when you didn't give a proper answer? However, what theBeauvort family meant is clear. They don't need Neera to interfere with the treatment! There'll only be two resultsto this matter. It's either Nancy stepping forward, or the Lopez will offend the Beauvort family. You should knowwhat to do. Don't implicate the whole family because of an outsider!" Fabio narrowed his eyes as he spoke, andhis tone became fiercer.
"Bell, you should know it's not easy for you to reach this point. Your cousin has told me about your situationmore than once. He has been eyeing you for a while, so you must act carefully. It's easy to lose what you have. Ifit threatens the Lopez family, I'm afraid I can't protect your position as the director anymore!"
Hearing his words, Isabella's expression worsened.
She said with a heavy heart, "I understand."
Then, she left the mansion. Once she was out, she immediately called Neera. "Neera, what are you doing?"
Neera spoke as usual, "I'm in the office. What's the matter?"
Isabella pursed her lips. "I'll visit you later."
Neera could not tell something was wrong, so she smiled and agreed.
Half an hour later, Isabella arrived as promised.
Neera had asked Katy to prepare Isabella's favorite snacks.
Seeing that Isabella was here, Neera put her work aside and pulled Isabella over to the couch with a smile.
"Since you're here to see me, I guess you're busy now?"
Isabella nodded. Looking at the snacks on the table, she took out the little cakes she bought on the way.
"Here's your favorite chocolate mousse cake."
Neera said, "You're indeed my best friend. You still remember what I like."
Isabella smiled. "Of course."
As they chatted, Neera gradually realized Isabella was a little absent-minded, so she began to feel suspicious.
"Bell, did something happen? Are you in a bad mood?"
Isabella's lips trembled, but she did not say anything.
Seeing this, Neera put down the cake and wiped her mouth. "Just say what you want. Do you have to beat aroundthe bush with me?"
Isabella hesitated for a moment, but she still did not say it directly. She only asked, "How's Jean's treatmentgoing?"
