Tonya looked like she had taken a slap. Her voice cracked. “Isabelle. I’m sorry that I took your credit yesterday. I apologize.
“I won’t compete with you anymore. I know how good you are.
“We’re family. Please come with me to negotiate with Daniel. I know that Daniel is having a meeting here today.
“I need something to please Brandon. Convince Daniel to sign the contract and I’ll ask Brandon to let you back to Luck Jewelry. You can be vice general manager. How is that?”
Tonya tried to make the deal sound sweeter.
Isabelle narrowed her eyes. She was amused by Tonya’s change. Tonya tried her hardest to kick Isabelle out of Luck Jewelry yesterday.
Isabelle doubted Tonya would want to beg Isabelle to return for a
contract.
Tonya was afraid of competing against Isabelle in Regional Jewelry Contest. But Tonya wouldn’t admit defeat like this.
The whole thing was suspicious. Isabelle didn’t buy it. So, she ignored Tonya.
Tonya grew anxious as Isabelle didn’t take the bait. She grabbed Isabelle’s hand and pled, “Isabelle, please help me.”
Meanwhile, Tonya heard familiar footsteps.
Tonya thought, “Nice. Becky is ready too.”

A dangerous gleam flashed in Tonya’s eyes. She suddenly pulled Isabelle up by force.
Isabelle frowned and stepped back subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Tonya fell backward. She hit the table and landed on the floor.
Tonya looked at the turning corner of the lobby with a pale face. She cried in pain, “No! My baby! Isabelle, why did you push me?!”
Isabelle was stupefied. She didn’t touch Tonya.
But seeing the rapidly largened stain of blood on Tonya’s dress. Isabelle immediately squatted down and checked Tonya’s pulse.
Tonya had Isabelle’s hand in an iron grip and yelled at someone behind Isabelle, “Help! Brandon!”
“Tonya!” Becky shouted as she led Brandon over.
Brandon looked shocked and hurried over.
The ruckus attracted the attention of other people in the lobby.
“Isabelle, what are you doing?” Brandon pushed Isabelle out of his way rudely and picked Tonya up. He looked at Isabelle as if she was a dead
person.
Tonya wailed in Brandon’s arms. “Brandon, I came to ask Isabelle to talk to Daniel. But I was so happy that I couldn’t help but tell her about our baby. It must upset her. She tried to kill our baby! It hurts so much. Is our baby gone?”
“Don’t cry.” Brandon caressed Tonya’s face lovingly. His face paled as he looked at the blood on the floor.

The bystanders were enraged by Tonya’s story. They glared at Isabelle. “What a wrench. How could she make that girl lose her baby?”
“She’s a murderer!”
The crowd was buzzing with accusations and curses. Brandon’s handsome face twisted with anger. He dashed toward Isabelle and gripped her neck. “Bitch, how dare you kill my child. I’m going to kill you!”
Isabelle threw Brandon off furiously. She managed to keep a cold face, but Brandon’s words hurt her deeply.
Isabelle thought. “His child? He hates me so much that he tried to strangle me. He loves Tonya so much.”
Isabelle glanced at Tonya’s 10 cm heels and chuckled lowly.
“What’s so funny?” Brandon shot Isabelle a piercing look. “Becky, call the police. Tonya lost the baby because of her. I’m sending her to jail.”
Isabelle was unfazed. She cuddled her hand in front of her chest. Isabelle thought through the event and asked Tonya with a smirk, “Do – you insist that I pushed you?”
“Why would I fall if you didn’t push me? Isabelle, you’ve gone too far. I always put you first. Yet, you hurt my innocent child!” Tonya cried.
Brandon’s eyes were red–rimmed. He hugged Tonya tighter. “Don’t waste your time with her. Just seize her!”
Becky immediately went to find the hotel guards. The crowd -surrounded them and whispered to each other about Isabelle.
Isabelle was calm. She took out her phone and sneered, “Watch this. Watch how your fragile Tonya fell!”

Isabelle thanked her lucky stars that she listened to Glenda and didn’t take off the camera.
Brandon was taken aback. He froze when he looked down at the screen and realized what he was watching.
The video showed that Isabelle stepped back when Tonya reached for
her.
Isabelle didn’t push Tonya.
Tonya saw the video too. The blood drained from her face. Tonya was shocked since she didn’t expect that Isabelle had carried a camera.
Isabelle smiled and looked at the pool of blood on the floor. She crouched down and immobilized Tonya. Isabelle lifted Tonya’s dress and yanked out a bag.
The crowd was stunned.
Isabelle dangled the bag in front of Brandon. She scoffed, “Your child is here. Look! It’s a bag of blood!”
Brandon stared at the blood bag in disbelief. He turned to Tonya. Tonya’s face was as white as a sheet since she was feeling guilty. Brandon’s face turned dark.
Seeing the frightened look on Tonya’s face, Isabelle smiled. “You’re so good at acting with a blood bag. You used one to frame me at home. Is it what was left of that bag of blood? How economical.”
Tonya was mad. But she was at a loss for words.
Isabelle looked at Brandon’s rigid posture and thought this was pathetic and ridiculous. She made a snide remark. “Have you seen a pregnant woman who wears 10 cm heels? I checked her pulse. She isn’t pregnant. But it’s hard to say whether she has a miscarriage or she

isn’t pregnant in the first place.
“I think Tonya tried to frame me to cover for the fact that she isn’t pregnant. Don’t be sad. Maybe the baby isn’t yours.”
Brandon noticed the hidden meaning of Isabelle’s words. His face darkened.
Tonya didn’t think Isabelle could turn the situation around. She was raging inside, but she acted weak and sobbed. “Brandon, what is she talking about? You’re the only one I’ve been with. How could she smear my name in front of so many people? I’m going to kill myself.”
Brandon couldn’t bear to watch Tonya cry. He wavered and turned to Isabelle. Seeing Isabelle’s aloofness, Brandon was enraged. “Enough, Isabelle! I know what an innocent girl Tonya is! You’re the dirty whore who is carrying the bastard of a punk.”
Isabelle glared at Brandon and pulled out yesterday’s photo. She held her phone high. “Tonya, you want proof. This is proof. Brandon, good luck with being the father of her child next time!”
Brandon stared at the photo and stumbled backward.
In the photo… Tonya was in the arms of a man in a hotel room.
Brandon turned to glare at Tonya. His handsome face turned dark.
Tonya trembled in fear. She shook her head frantically. “Brandon…”
“What’s your explanation of this photo?” Brandon shouted harshly. He was embarrassed by the audience’s whispers and interested gazes.
“Damn. This one is the bad one. We all thought she was the good one. We wronged that woman. We became accomplices.”
“This man is foolish. The woman lied about being pregnant and he fell

for it. Turns out his girlfriend has another man.”
“She faked a pregnancy and tried to frame another person. How vicious!”
Isabelle curled her hand into a fist and scoffed. She turned and walked out of the hotel.
Brandon’s gaze chased after Isabelle and he thought, “Isabelle looks so alone.” Brandon blinked and got up. He ran out angrily.
***
Brandon caught up with Isabelle at the hotel’s gate. He surprised Isabelle by gripping her wrist.
Isabelle turned to Brandon with a distant look. “What do you want?”
“Isabelle, are you still mad at me?”
Brandon’s tone softened. He watched Isabelle closely and suddenly wore a knowing smile. “You caused a lot of ruckuses lately. And you always target Tonya. You must do it to make me take you back, right?“.
Brandon glanced at Isabelle secretly. Isabelle was beautiful. Brandon wouldn’t treat her like that if Isabelle didn’t have so much power in the
company.
Tonya wasn’t pregnant. Isabelle had the ability to land a big contract. Brandon had an idea…
Brandon’s eyes darkened. He tried to pull Isabelle into his arms. His hot breath fanned Isabelle’s face. “Since you still love me so much, I’ll give you a chance. I can forgive you about the bastard child. But you have to follow my order and find more clients for me from now on…”
