Chapter 156 Maybe It Wasn’t Him
Isabelle trembled as she cried, absentmindedly slipping the ring onto her ring finger. However, it felt as if it were burning, so she quickly took it off.
She repeated this several times, and her fingers were all scraped. Blood flowed out, but she couldn’t feel the pain because her heart was the most painful.
“Isabelle?” Warren’s deep voice resonated outside the door. He was knocking.
Isabelle’s body trembled, and she tightly covered her mouth with her hand.
“Is the child okay?” Warren asked.
Isabelle trembled as she bit her finger.
“Why did you lock yourself inside? Is this ring causing you so much distress? Just because of Amy, you can’t accept me like this?” The door frame creaked as he leaned heavily against it.
Isabelle shook her head desperately, not because of Amy, not…
“Huh.” Warren seemed disappointed, his voice turning cold.
After a while, he left.
Isabelle held the ring in her broken heart, lying on the ground. If she told Warren everything, how would he treat Wesley?
Back then, Warren would have also abandoned her! After all, she had

already helped Wesley and caused harm to him twice.
Isabelle didn’t know how long she had been in the bathroom. The
person in the mirror looked like a female ghost, with a terrifyingly pale face.
Tara knocked on the door and asked anxiously, “Bella, are you still feeling unwell? Should I call the family doctor to come and check on you?”
“It’s okay, Mom…” Isabelle hurriedly got up, washed her face with cold water, tidied herself up, and hastily opened the door.
Tara looked at her swollen belly and lovingly touched it, saying, “The little baby is very well–behaved.”
Isabelle glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the dining table was empty. She froze for a moment and asked in a hoarse voice, “Has Warren left?”
Tara shook her head helplessly and pointed to the sofa, “You took the ring into the bathroom and didn’t say a word. Warren just kept
drinking heavily. He had already fallen ill when he came back yesterday. After consuming three bottles of red wine, he was already drunk.”
Isabelle saw the person lying diagonally on the sofa with a furrowed brow.
Harmo Real Estate had a big problem, and Warren was feeling
frustrated. She made Warren even more downhearted.
“Bella…” Tara pulled Isabelle to the dining table to talk, scrutinizing her closely. “Although I have a bad memory, I’m not blind. I can tell that you love Warren. Is it because of his bad personality that you rejected his proposal?”

“No, Tara…”
Tara looked at Warren and said sympathetically, “You don’t know what he has been through. He has a half–brother, but his brother and their dad are the real family of three.”
I was sick and weak, so I couldn’t support him when he was young.
He was often secretly abused by his stepmother, not fed enough, and kept locked in the basement.
He was clearly a noble young master, but he was penniless. In order to buy medicine for me, he stole money from his home and was publicly beaten by the servants, then taken to the police station.
That year, he was only eight years old. Because of this incident, he developed a psychological disorder and became easily irritable and violent. Later, he was forcibly sent to the psychiatric department by his father and stayed there for two years.
When he came out, he became very indifferent. It was my illness that caused him to change!
But he worked hard and was strong, working harder than any of the younger generations in the family. His father had no choice but to give him more responsibilities…
Until today, I have witnessed all the hardships he has experienced. I have a bad memory, but I remember the hardships he has endured.
Isabelle’s heart ached. She had heard rumors about Lamont doting on Arnold.
But little did they know, Warren was living such a miserable life.
Tara saw her in a daze and patted her, “Don’t be afraid. I’m telling you all this to help you understand why he was so violent. Those things are

all in the past. He is now physically and mentally healthy.”
He never brought the darkness he experienced in his childhood to the marketplace. Bella, Warren is an honest person. The nobility of his family background is ingrained in his bones. He deserves you.
If he had not resorted to any means, he would never have been in the position he is today. His position would have been higher.
Tara smiled.
Isabelle, however, suddenly startled. As the person who knew Warren the best, Tara said that Warren was honest and would never stoop to unethical means.
Yesterday, Warren said he would not eat Mr. Schweitzer’s blood–filled steamed buns and automatically withdrew from bidding for the land. His pride and cultivation also shocked her.
Was Warren really ruthless and plundered the Clifford family when he started from scratch back then?
Isabelle asked herself in her mind.
She was on edge and couldn’t help but ask, “Tara, has Warren never done anything outrageous in all these years of doing business?”
“Never. Even in his most difficult times, he always managed to get through it steadfastly.”
Tara confidently replied, proudly smiling, “So Bella, you cannot give up on someone like Warren.”
Tara led Isabelle towards the sofa, with a heavy tone in her laughter. “If there’s someone he hates the most, it’s Arnold. Arnold took everything away from him. Although I don’t inquire much, I’ve also heard that you are talented and beautiful. You should stand by his

side. Don’t let him fight alone anymore.”
She gently placed Isabelle’s little hand on Warren’s shoulder.
As if sensing something, Warren grasped Isabelle’s hand. His intoxicated gaze was so deep that it seemed to devour her completely.
He mumbled with a drunkenness, “Mrs. Levine… I was sick, do you know?”
His voice was hoarse and heartbreaking, with a heavy nasal tone, and his face was flushed.
Isabelle couldn’t resist anymore and touched his forehead, which was burning hot.
Maggie pleaded with a heavy heart, “Mr. Levine refused to take his medicine. Mrs. Levine, please coax him upstairs to rest!”
Isabelle softened her heart and helped Maggie support Warren upstairs.
In the bedroom, the tall Warren collapsed onto the bed. Isabelle took a thermometer and placed it under his armpit. His brow furrowed.
Isabelle could feel the warm breath he exhaled.
He might have had a high fever of forty degrees Celsius.
Isabelle reluctantly lowered her head and pressed against Warren. The mask slipped off, revealing his astonishing handsome face.
He was Warren. Tara said he never hesitated to use any means in business.
Isabelle looked at Warren and remembered that time when he desperately saved her.

Is that also fake? Was he just pretending with a deep hidden agenda?
Isabelle didn’t believe it. He was dignified and polite, but his temperament was unpredictable. Reflecting on the true interactions she had with Warren over the past five months, Isabelle felt that he wasn’t a bad person.
But she heard from Wesley’s mouth that Warren was a downright villainous plunderer, even hiring someone to commit murder.
What went wrong in the end?
There is one more thing, Wesley said that Warren plotted the murder of her grandfather and mother back then.
Now Wesley and her actions caused the company to fail in the bidding. Why does Warren still seem oblivious?
He still attributed the reason for their breakup to Amy!
Isabelle’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be possible that Wesley mistook someone else?
But that half–broken mask…
“Um…” Isabelle was lost in thought and didn’t expect Warren to suddenly open his eyes.
He was still drunk.
Warren saw the delicate woman above him and abruptly pulled her towards his chest, opening his mouth and fiercely kissing her. This kiss was dominant, fierce, and intensely sorrowful.
Isabelle was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol, unable to breathe, and feeling complicated emotions.

She pushed him.
Warren’s narrowed eyes resembled a deep pool. He stared at her intently, “Can’t I kiss you? Have we grown so distant now?”
