| was stunned. Even though I'm with Ryan, | hardly ever step into his social circle. The only t| met his group
of friends was at his birthday party. ‘Is that supposed to be wrong?‘ | wondered.
Isabelle took a deep breath. “That night, Ryan said the harshest words he’s ever said to me, and it was all
because of you.”
| let out a cold laugh. “Wasn't it you who started targetingfirst?”
Isabelle lifted her chin with an air of superiority. “What? | was just telling it like it is. Your divorce wasn’t my fault.
Didn't you get your ex-husband a gift? I'm just being honest.”
| replied calmly, “If you think it's okay to bring up someone's pain in front of everyone, that’s on you.”
A flicker of satisfaction crossed Isabelle’s eyes before she asked, “By the way, your brother's girlfriend-her name
is Sophia Langley, right?”
My heart jolted as | locked eyes with her. “What did you do?”
Isabelle said casually, “She really has no standards. Give her a bag worth over ten thousand dollars, and she’ll

“Isabelle, what are you trying to pull?” | snapped.
Isabelle shrugged. “I didn’t do anything. | just had a friend do sbusiness with Sophia, and after a bit of back
and forth, they started having dinner together, going on dates, and then...”
“Isabelle, targetall you want, but leave my brother out of this,” | snapped, fury rising in my chest. | never
thought Isabelle’s revenge would go this far.
“You should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, you'd never know what kind of trash your future sister-in- law
really is,” Isabelle said, arching an eyebrow. “Oh, | heard your brother is crazy about her. Let's see if he can
handle it when he finds out his precious girl is so worthless to others that she’ll do whatever they want.”
“Isabelle, you're seriously messed up,” | spat, fists clenched. She actually got someone to go after Sophia just to
watch my brother lose his mind.
Isabelle narrowed her eyes at me. “Your brother's working at an investment bank under The Jennings Group, and
Sophia's at a bank owned by Jennings Holdings. Victoria, do you even have any shame? Your whole family’s
living off the Jennings family’s generosity, and what do you do? You play games with your brother and mess
around with Uncle Ryan. If anything happens to your brother, it's all because of you.”
“I didn’t-"l screamed, my voice shaking. “I never went after Edward. | swear I didn’t!”
“If you hadn't gotten him all worked up, why would Edward be so hung up on you? Victoria, I'll admit you're
good-looking, but using your looks to mess with everyone-you're just a walking disaster,” Isabelle said, tilting
her chin up. “Oh, and I've got plenty more photos of your brother's girlfriend. If you want them, meetat this
address tomorrow at noon.”
With that, Isabelle tossed a slip of paper at me. “If you don’t show up, I'll send all these photos straight to your

brother's office. Let everyone have a good look.”
With that, Isabelle headed for her sports car.

| tried to rush after her to stop her, but two bodyguards in black stepped out of a nearby car and blocked my
way.
Isabelle glanced back atwith a look of superiority, then opened the car door and slid inside.
Moments later, her sports car flicked on its hazard lights, cut across the double lines, and vanished into the
night.
The bodyguards got back in their car and drove off after her.
Watching them drive right over the double lines like they owned the road, my heart started pounding.
Power was absolutely suffocating in that moment.
| bent down, picked up the slip of paper, and saw the address-it was a tea house.
Chilled to the bone, | stumbled hand slumped onto the couch, sitting there numb, unable to pull myself
together for what felt like forever.
Thinking about everything I've been through, it’s like fate’s been pulling the strings, but somehow, every step
feels like it was my own choice.
“How did it end up like this?” | whispered to myself, completely lost and hurting inside.
| barely slept that night. The next day, | went to the office to handle swork.
During the meeting, | couldn’t focus at all. My mind kept replaying those indecent photos, imagining them
getting plastered all over my brother's office. If he saw the woman he loves exposed like that, would he just lose
it right then and there?
Before the meeting was even over, | had to cup with an excuse about a headache and slip out early.
Sitting in my car, | stared at the handwritten address, trying to figure out what Isabelle was plotting this time,
Victoria thought.
