Chapter 167 Heartless

• Isabelle Shelby could not help but be astounded by Julian Shaw's stern remarks. Her heart was full of happiness, and she continued to believe that Julian wanted to do anything with her. However, based on the current circumstances, it was clear that Julian wished to spend money to stop the past. Isabelle was unable to control her panic. There was absolutely nothing she could do to approach Julian without using her stolen identity, "Little Flower." Julian wanted to break with the past now. Wouldn't that shatter every dream she had? "No, I can't let this occur."
• Isabelle grimaced at Julian as she gritted her teeth and pushed the contract and check aside. "Why do you do this, Mr. Shaw? Is it possible that I was your close buddy when we were younger merely to receive this meager payment? You're making fun of me! Julian's eyes narrowed. "Isabelle, my suggestion to you i s to select either one. The only time I'm giving back to you is now. If you turn down this chance, I can guarantee that this won't occur once again. Isabelle was unable to resist looking up at Julian. He assumed an adoring face while he was with Susan Shelby, but this was a far cry from his severe and icy demeanor.
• Why... Why did he make the decision to marry Susan while he thought Susan was Little Flower? Why did he decide to deal with her using a straightforward but cruel method of money when he discovered that she was now Little Flower? Was Susan really that much better than her? Isabelle found herself forcefully biting her bottom lip. Although she resented Susan for making a better first impression on Julian, she refused to acknowledge her inferiority. She felt confident that she could marry Julian as well if she had been the one who first met him. "Regardless of your choice, I think of this as my returning the favor already."
