However, Isabella never mentioned her past, especially anything before the age of twelve. It was as if that period of memory didn't exist for her "Isabella, heal all your wounds and never let anyone h hurt you again, Clayton vowed inwardly Yvonne felt a surge of anger as she watched Isabella enter.
Isabella wore a white knee-length dress with a light pink knitted cardigan and held only a phone The out she had on was from the new collection at Metro Boutique this year. Yonne had seen it when she passed by and liked it a lot. However, she was told it had already been reserved. Yvonne watched with disappointment as the store attendant carefully removed the clothes, packaged them, and arranged for a private delivery.
To her surprise, the one wearing the outfit was Isabella, who usually wore wholesale goods. Then it's a gift from Clayton. This despicable woman! Why is she getting all this special treatment from him? Yvonne cursed inwardly.
Seeing that only Yvonne was there, Isabella was somewhat surprised and said indifferently, "I cto pick With that, she headed upstairs.
"Hold on!" Yvonne shouted coldly.

Over the years, they had been each other's enemies but also understood each other the most.

"Why did you calone today? Where's Mr. Murray!" Yenne didn't want the incident at school to happen again. Isabella looked at her and replied, "Didn't you askto cback and get something? He's busy. There's no need to bother him with such trivial Yvonne sneered, fixing her gaze on the dress. "Do you really consider yourself Mrs. Murray now? Do you think wearing a 4,000-dollar outfit makes you Mrs. Murray!" Tabella was stunned upon hearing that and looked at her outfit. She didn't know the price of her outfit. She chose to wear it because it looked nice. Besides, it fit her well, and she liked it.
Isabella hardly shopped. Thus, she was unaware of the prices for high-end clothes and accessories Unexpectedly, an ordinary outfit turned out to be so expensive. She wondered if all the clothes in her wardrobe were pricey..
Seeing the fiery look in Yvonne's eyes, she suddenly smiled. "I don't need to act. I am Mrs. Murray," Don't flatter yourself! Are you sure Mr. Murray would marry you? Stop dreaming. Do you think your meager conditions can impress him! You must be kidding yourself. Are you worthy of marrying Mr. Murray! Look in the mirror and see how poor and shabby you look!" Yvonne yelled angrily Hur İsabella turned around and headed upstairs.
Tabella Sorenson! Stop right there!" Yvonne nnhed upstairs to catch up.
Isabella ignored her and went straight to her room.
Yvonne grabbed habella's arm from behind, but the latter shook her off "Yvonne, I don't want to talk to you. Chapter 37 "Now that you've snagged a wealthy man, you're all bold and tough, huh?

Isabella glanced at her, silently turned, and ined to leave.
Yvonne was stunned. She didn't expect habella to walk away. "Isabella!" "Yvonne, don't negotiate terms withanymore." Isabella said coldly. She wasn't interested in dealing with them. She could always contact Elsie privately, wait for them to toss her belongings out, and pick them up outside.
Isabella had just reached the staircase when she felt a pain in her scalp. She yelped and protected her head. Yvonne grabbed her hair and yelled, “Isabella Sorenson! I haven't finished speaking Who allowed you to leave? Isabella grabbed her hair to prevent Yvonne from pulling it hard. Simultaneously, she seized Yvonne's arm and bit down hard.
"Ah!" Yvonne screamed, releasing Isabella's hair and clutching her arm.
abella How dare you bite me!" Yvonne looked at 1ser in disbelier.
Isabella stroked her hair and glared at Yvonne fiercely. This was the second tshe had confronted the latter like this, "Isabella, what are you doing?" A furious roar cfrom behind.
The moment Isabella turned her head, a slap landed on her face.
She was forcefully pushed and crashed into the corridor's wall. The left side of her face stung utensely and then went numb. The taste of blood filled her mouth. Isabella endured the dizziness and looked at Nathon.
This was her biological father, and without any explanation, he delivered a resounding slap Meanwhile, he embraced Yvonne, asking "What happened, Yvonne?" "Dad! She bit me! Look, there are teeth marks!" Yvonne immediately adopted a weak demeanor as tears streamed down her face.
The distress on Nathan's face was evident. He glared at Isabella and questioned, "Why did you bite Yvonne? How could you stoop an low? Where are your manners! Have you forgotten everything you've learned! She's your sisert You really don't know your place, do you!" Isabella covered her face, witnessing the affection between father and daughter. She felt as though her heart had been torn out.
Nathan's words were Is were cutting. No matter how resilient she was, tears sull fell. "Dad, am I your daughter?" Nathan was momentarily stunned. "What nonsense are you spouting?" he asked angrily.
"Well, lubells, what do you mean by that?" Winona appeared silently by the staircase.
Ignoring her, Isabella only stared at Nathan. "Dad, you said she's my sister. But when has she treatedlike one? I'm wrong for biting her, yet she's allowed to hit me?" Nathan paused before firmly stating "As the older sister, you should accommodate your sister in all matters. She's still young, so you must give in to her. Don't you understand this basic principle?" Isabella looked at Nathan stubbornly. "Dad, do you wantto endure insults and not fight back in front of Yvonne? My mother passed away early. She didn't have the chance to teach such principles" Isabella felt herself trembling all over. To what extent did they want to mistreat her? Tabella, now that you've booked up with someone prominent, you've toughened up in your words, huh? How dare you talk back to your father! Are you saying that as your stepmother, have failed in educating you! I know you're the future owner of Sorenson Multimedia. Would I have the guts to educate you?" Winona chimed in. Her voice was soft, but every word cut like a knife, piercing Nathari's heart.
Tabella Apologize to your sister! Whatever she asks you to do today, you must comply. Otherwise, don't blme for being ruthless!" Nathan's expression turned icy Tabella looked at the three of them. They were a family, and she was nothing. This family had no phee for her, not even a footboll Yvonne immediately perked up, no longer nestling in Nathan's embrace Chapter 37 Standing elegantly before Isabella, she raised her chin arrogantly, saying, "Isabella Sorenson! You want to take your belongings from that room, right? Alright, you must agree to my two conditions. Firstly, leave Clayton immediately. Even if you're married, divorce him instantly!" Then, Yvonne took a contract from her pocket and continued, "Secondly, sign this agreement. You must transfer your shares in Sorenson Multimedia to Dad and hand over all your inheritance for him to manage. Once you sign, you can take your things" Isabella looked at the agreement before her and then at Yvonne, who was smirking.
She shifted her gare to Nathan. He was initially surprised, as she expected, but he quickly accepted it calmly.

Nathan didn't look at her. He lowered his head to smooth out the creases pressed into his clothes by Yvonne.
"As Isaid, no matter what Yvonne asks you to do today, you mist comply. If you do, I won't hold you accountable for biting her, he commented in a low voice "What if I don't agree?" Isabella stared straight at him.
Nathan raised his head and shot a sharp look at her. He hadn't expected her to be so bold, leaving him momentarily speechless.
"You can stay huntil you cto your senses, Isabella," Winona said slowly Nathan nodded slowly and said, "Someone, chere!" Two housekeepers immediately approached.
Staring at babella, Nathan sternly instructed, "Escort Isabella back to her room. She's not allowed to leave without my permission!" The two housekeepers exchanged glances but ultimately lowered their heads, stepping forward to take Isabella away! Right then, Elsie hurried over and asked, "What's going on? Ms. Sorenson, did you anger Mr. Ingram agent Quick, apologize to him!" Elle squeezed over, tugged Isabella's sleeve, and pleaded softly. Ms. Sorenson, please apologize" Isabella remained unfazed.
She looked at Nathan sadly.

You shouldn't leave the house before New Year's Day" Isabella chuckled. "Dad, why exactly are you so insistent onmarrying into the Winslow family?

"That's for your own good. That way, you wouldn't use the family assets for something shameful and Om embarrass us. Besides, this is the condition for you to apologize to Yvonne. It has nothing to do with me." Nathan stated coldly. After that he yelled at the two housekeepers, "Why haven't you locked her up yet? "What has my wife done wrong that you need to send her away for discipline, Me. Ingram! A deep voice echoed at the door.
Everyone was startled. Isabella knew who it was without looking. Facing away from the doorway she didn't turn around. She felt utterly drained and leaned against the wall behind her. He always appeared when she was in trouble. "Mr. Murray!" Yvonne's voice was full of surprise, and she instinctively adjusted her hair and clothes.
