Chapter 148 Tricks And Schemes

• "Mr... Mr. Shaw..." Isabelle Shelby's heart briefly ached with fear. "I grew up with Susie, and she is also my most precious friend and family member," she remarked pathetically after making a valiant effort to calm herself. Why would I hurt her feelings? "Well, that's for the best." Julian Shaw remarked, "Will you please leave the room now?" without showing emotion. "Mr. Shaw, you've really misunderstood me," Isabelle murmured, biting her bottom lip since Julian was acting far too chilly. Calmly, Julian held out a hand and gestured toward the door. Isabelle could only depart as she was made powerless. "Lunch is in order." Susan had just emerged from the kitchen to serve lunch when Isabelle came downstairs, just in time to run into her.
• Susan was a little taken aback when she saw Isabelle. "Isa, why did you go upstairs?" Isabelle felt her heart skip a beat. She laughed. "I saw that it was almost time for lunch, so I went upstairs hoping to remind Mr. Shaw and conveniently brought him a plate of fruit."" Although Susan nodded, she had no suspicions. Is Julian coming down, then? Lunch will soon be served. Isabelle's fragile cheeks reddened slightly with shame. "No. Mr. Shaw must have misinterpreted me, Susie. He appeared to believe that I had a secret reason for going upstairs to meet him. As a result, he pushed me out of the room before I could say anything further. Susan was momentarily shocked.
• "You know me well, Susie," Isabelle responded quickly. Since we were little, we have been very close. Since Mr. Shaw is your spouse, how could I possibly be able to do this?" Isabelle's cheeks flushed pink as she finished speaking, as though she was deeply embarrassed. "...have an ulterior motive?" she asked hesitantly. Susan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Isabelle's terrified expression. "Don't worry, Isa. Is it possible that I'm still unsure of your personality? Because you protected me, I didn't have to endure a lot of bullying from your sister when we were younger. I am fully aware of your character and know that you will not act in such a manner." "Susie." Isabelle felt touched, and her eyes became crimson.
