Chapter 222 He Forbade Her To Get Engaged
Isabelle tried to hide her red eyes in embarrassment. She had intended to tell him to go to another store, but Monica had already walked in with the butler.
She had no choice but to let the man lead her and walked towards Monica.

In the luxurious fitting room, Olivia peeked out and said, “David’s mother is here. Ms. Watson, this is a great opportunity for you to sabotage Isabelle’s reputation. Don’t you want to take some measures against her?”
This is indeed an opportunity to mess with that bitch. As long as Amy plays some tricks, Warren will definitely protect her. Then she can stab Isabelle in the heart.
But she turned her eyes and smiled, saying, “You’re clueless. I have to let her go today. Nothing is more important than me getting engaged to Warren. She has to have a smooth time with David. Once I become Mrs. Levine, I can easily deal with her and that bastard.”
Olivia suddenly understood. “Ms. Watson, you are quite cunning. No wonder you were able to make Mr. Levine wholeheartedly engage with you.”
Amy proudly pursed her lips and took off her dress to try on the gown.

David leaned in and reminded Isabelle, “Don’t be nervous. I have suppressed all the news that defames you. My mother doesn’t follow hot topics either. If she asks you something, and you don’t know how to answer, just don’t answer.”
Isabelle nodded.
He affectionately patted her head. “Mother, this is Isabelle. You insisted on meeting her. Can you see her now?”
Monica, with an imposing air, walked over and sat down. Her gaze immediately locked onto Isabelle’s stomach.
Isabelle hesitated and called out, “Mrs. Lopez.”
“Sit down! Don’t stand. Be careful not to tire the child.” Monica said in a strange tone. She glanced at her son with resentment. “Isabelle, right? You’re the girl who designed jewelry for me. I quite liked you back then. But the Spencer family is of lower status. I heard you had some emotional entanglements…”
“Mother, you talk too much,” David coughed.
Monica was not pleased, “Fine! He didn’t even let me investigate you. You guys, so improper. The child is already this old, and you only tell us now. And there’s even some video commotion.”
Since this child is David’s. Your background is not that good, I have accepted it, hurry up and get engaged to David. Let’s do it hastily. This is a double happiness, and it also resolves a worry for me.
Isabelle looked up in astonishment.
She quickly looked at David and finally understood what method he was talking about.
She frowned deeply, finding it absurd. She was about to explain

something, but David held her back with a firm hand.
He hurriedly whispered, “This is the only way to make my parents happy. Don’t ruin it, Bella. After the engagement ceremony, I will find a way to explain it to them. Right now, it is crucial for me to get through this difficult situation!”
If she hadn’t borrowed 167 million dollars, the shareholders of the Lopez Group wouldn’t have been dissatisfied with David, and the Lopez family wouldn’t have wanted to change the helm.
She couldn’t afford to drop the ball at this crucial moment.
Isabelle could only endure it tightly. But Monica’s gentle eyes on her belly made her feel uncomfortable.
“Have you seen the dress? Don’t wear high heels just to look pretty. The child is more important,” Monica grinned and pulled Isabelle’s hand, admonishing her.
Isabelle stared blankly and forced a smile.
“This woman is beautiful. David, let her have more children,” Monica said, sounding pleased and excited.
Some of the shop assistants in the store looked over.
Isabelle felt a cold side light and stared at herself.
She became stiff when faced with Monica’s smile.
David gathered her close and coughed lightly, “Bella, don’t pay attention to her. She’s just confused.”
“Mrs. Lopez, you must have really lost your mind!” came a sinister male voice, mixed with mockery.

Isabelle suddenly turned her head and saw Warren. She almost choked. She couldn’t help but feel nervous.
David raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up, and instinctively pulled her behind him.
His declaration of sovereignty sent a chill down Warren’s spine. He stared coldly at Monica, with a smile on his face, and said, “If you weren’t so clueless, why didn’t you open your eyes when choosing a daughter–in–law? You always pick women with questionable backgrounds who are desperate to find a savior.”
Isabelle tightly squeezed her palm. Her face turned pale.
“Who are you? What does this mean?” Monica frowned as she looked at this overly handsome young man.
“Mr. Levine, you used to have some gentlemanly manners. My mother is old now. You wouldn’t be so heartless as to not spare her, would you?”
David came over.
Warren’s thin lips curled up in a sneer as he retorted, “Of course, I am not someone like you. A person’s character and demeanor are not superficial, but ingrained in their very bones.”
After he finished speaking with a meaningful look, he drank up the red wine in his hand and glanced coldly at Isabelle before walking away without looking back.
“Why are you being so sarcastic and criticizing my son?” Monica was a protective mother.
Amy linked her arm with the man’s, turning back with a faint smile. “Mrs. Lopez, Warren really saved face for you. To be honest, she’s just a second–hand item. Do you understand?”

She glanced at Isabelle, mocking with a smile.
Warren frowned slightly, but considering that this woman had just been fawning over his mother not long ago, and now she was immediately trying to please her “new mother–in–law,” he couldn’t help but feel incredibly ironic. He didn’t stop Amy from mocking.
His indulgence made Isabelle feel cold–hearted. She still felt suffocated as if frozen.
Monica frowned and approached Isabelle, pondering. “What second- hand goods? Isabelle, explain.”
“Mother, why should we care about what irrelevant people do? In my eyes, Bella is the best girl. Mr. Levine and I had a little disagreement in business. He deliberately mocked something, did you hear it too?”
Monica certainly believed her son. She didn’t dare to investigate Isabelle on her own, for fear of her son getting angry.
This time, Monica and her friends could all see that David was very serious about this relationship.
She stood up, not in a good mood. “If there’s a conflict in business, then don’t choose the dress from their store. There are so many high- end stores in Donsborough. We have money, after all.”
“Yes, you’re right. You should go for a beauty treatment. It’s already three o’clock,” David urged.
“You brat. Afraid that I would eat her, huh? Fine, just go. You can at least see me off.”
David glanced at Isabelle. Isabelle nodded gently, “I just went to the restroom.”
As soon as the mother and son left, Isabelle seemed to have finally

regained a breath of air. Dealing with this situation had exhausted her. especially after Warren had just mocked her. She almost slipped up.
She rubbed her forehead and walked towards the women’s restroom.
The restroom in the store was exquisite and secluded. Isabelle washed her hands repeatedly, feeling numb. It was not until her fingertips turned red from the scalding water that she mustered up the strength to slowly walk out.
As she stepped out, her eyes flickered with a faint hesitation. Upon seeing the person approaching, the rosy tint on her fingertips instantly faded away.
Warren stood tall and straight against the wall, the dim light unable to penetrate his cold eyes.
From Isabelle’s perspective, Warren’s face was half–lit and half- shadowed. He appeared sinister and extremely dangerous.
Instinctively, she took two steps back.
He walked towards her, the smoke from his cigarette clouding his eyes, staring at her with a murky gaze. After a moment of confusion, his gaze turned cold. “You cannot get engaged to David! I don’t care if you’ve met his parents or anything. You can only break off the engagement, do you hear me?”
Why? Is it fair for the officials to set fire but not allow the common people to light a lamp? Isabelle looked at him with a ridiculous and sarcastic expression.
