Chapter 70 Pretending To Be Innocent
Isabelle never expected that Julia would be cruel enough to cut off a six–year–old child’s finger.
The Spencer family was in chaos, Julia and George completely broke up. This was what Isabelle wanted, after all, it was she who released the video of the illegitimate child.
After the child was kidnapped by Julia, Isabelle immediately notified Zoie from the Spencer family. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the child’s fingers could still be reattached.
Today, Isabelle and Glenda left only after confirming the situation at the hospital.
“Your father wishes you dead, and yet you still consider his illegitimate child,” Glenda scoffed.
“It’s irrelevant. He’s just a six–year–old child,” Isabelle said, glancing instinctively at her own belly.
“When will you have pregnancy symptoms? You are so thin, but your figure is damn attractive. L is really lucky. Hey, have you asked him if he prefers a boy or a girl?”
Isabelle paused for a moment. They had never talked about children before. Previously… they were not close, and now…
Isabelle immediately forwarded Glenda’s exact words to Warren.
On Line, Warren replied, “?”
He was surprised by Isabelle.

Isabelle smiled lightly and saw that Warren replied with a few words, “If our trial marriage goes smoothly, I want both a boy and a girl, preferably enough to form a football team.”
Isabelle was speechless.
Isabelle rolled her eyes and continued writing, “Am I a pig?”
Warren replied, “I think you didn’t describe it accurately. You were a little piglet, right?”
Isabelle bit her lip. She was about to get ready, when Glenda looked over and exclaimed, “Wow, are you and L having such a great time chatting? Bella, I’ve noticed that your relationship has taken off since you came back from the hot springs. Could you and L flirt and tease each other on Line before? Come clean, that night, did something happen between you two… hmm?”
“What are you talking about!” Isabelle said nothing, looking at Glenda’s gossipy eyes.
Please, they had only chatted for a few sentences.
“You sent a Line message, and he replied instantly. L is a CEO, so busy. It seems like you guys are dating or something,” Glenda activated detective mode.
Isabelle, with a red face, reluctantly explained everything.
Glenda clicked her tongue five or six times and then said, “Wow! So you guys really did it. Who was the one who made a solemn vow about marriage back then? And now you’re actually going to have a love affair with L!”
“Trial marriage,” Isabelle covered her face, her watery eyes
shimmering. “I will date him and see. I understand that he wants a stable marriage because businessmen rarely see marriage as love.

Besides, my feelings are far from liking and loving, it depends on whether he is sincere towards me.”
“If a proud man like L is willing to flirt with you, it means he is completely satisfied with you. As for you, well, I can see that you have already stepped halfway into the ‘liking‘ camp. You two are a case of marriage before love, a passionate flame. You cannot resist that kind of man.”
“What can’t be resisted? He only has a good figure, but he also has scars on his face.”
Glenda asked in surprise, “Did you see L’s true face?”
“No. I only managed to uncover a little bit of his mask before he stopped me.”
Glenda coughed and immediately comforted Isabelle, “Having scars is great! It’s called a manly charm! In fact, men like Warren who are perfect are rare in this world, they are untouchable and meaningless, Bella, don’t you think so?”
Isabelle thought to herself, “My bestie, even though I know you are comforting me, did you change your mind too quickly?”
Isabelle glanced at Glenda speechlessly.
Just then, Isabelle’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.
Isabelle answered the phone and it was Amy She unexpectedly narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, “Ms. Watson? Do you need something from me?”
“Isabelle, you surprised me. Just call me Amy. So, I wanted to give your baby a few sets of clothes. The day Warren saved me, I wanted to thank him, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to thank you directly.”

Amy spoke in a charming and gentle tone, she naturally brought the relationship closer and also expressed her intention to keep a distance from L.
Isabelle understood everything.
She smiled slightly and nodded, “Okay. Where shall we meet?”
“Can we go to Queen Plaza?” Amy exclaimed happily.
Isabelle hung up the phone. She told Glenda the address. When Glenda drove Isabelle there, Isabelle pulled Glenda out of the car. “Since you have free time now, come and meet her with me.”
“Who is it?”
Glenda was asking when Amy walked in from the door. She was wearing a fitted professional attire. Her long hair cascaded in soft curls. She had an extremely beautiful face. She moved gracefully, exuding a faint air of elegance.
Isabelle quietly observed Amy. Glenda looked somewhat dazed and thought, “This woman, she is just as beautiful as Bella in terms of appearance.”
They were gazing at Amy, and Amy ran over, playfully squinting her eyes. “Hi, Isabelle. Is this your friend?”
“Ms. Watson, her name is Glenda,” Isabelle smiled lightly.
“Hello, Glenda!”
Glenda waved her hand and smiled, “Hi.”
“Isabelle, I hope I’m not being presumptuous, but thank you for your hard work today. Let’s sit down and chat.” Amy held a delicate bag with a logo, which was clearly not a luxury brand, indicating that it

was custom–made.
Isabelle saw Amy’s wristwatch, but she remained calm and guessed its price to be over 16 million dollars.
They ordered hot tea. Glenda, who was very curious about everything, smiled and asked, “Ms. Watson, where are you from? I am familiar with Donsborough, but I have never seen such a beautiful young lady like you.”
“Glenda, you flatter me. I worked diligently as an employee at Warren’s company, coming all the way from Potoyapa City.”
Amy half–jokingly.
Isabelle glanced at her watch and thought to herself, “Potoyapa City? Could it be that she is from the renowned century–old medical dynasty. the Watson family, in Potoyapa City?”
Potoyapa City was a metropolis, and Isabelle was unfamiliar with the extravagant families there. The only connection, so to speak… When she was a child, she heard the servants mention that Tara and her grandfather also came from Potoyapa City, and it seemed like they suddenly arrived in Donsborough.
Isabelle’s wandering thoughts returned, and she thought, “Amy is indeed an elegant lady, actually her temperament can be vaguely inferred.”
“These little clothes were all made with the best natural fabrics. They can be worn once the baby is born, even though it’s a bit early Isabelle, you take good care of yourself, Warren spoils you so much, so you can have a smooth delivery.” Amy smiled and winked.
At this moment, the dessert was brought out. Amy stood up to get it and handed it to Isabelle and Glenda willingly.

She had no airs of a socialite.
Glenda felt embarrassed.
They chatted for a while when Amy received a call from her company. She stood up, smiled apologetically, and sincerely shook Isabelle’s hand, saying, “Isabelle, I hope to become good friends with you. Can we stay in touch in the future?”
“Okay,” Isabelle smiled.
The things were delivered, and Amy happily left.
Isabelle smiled as she watched Amy disappear into the elevator, lost in thought.
Glenda nibbled on her dessert and asked, “Is this your new friend? L’s sister? I heard her calling you Isabelle?”
“What do you think of this girl?” Isabelle asked.
“She was warm and gentle, and quite kind. She took the initiative to help us with the desserts, without any airs. It’s rare to come across such a down–to–earth girl,” Glenda chuckled.
Glenda had a good sense.
Isabelle smiled and squinted her eyes, saying, “That watch of hers, I think it’s worth over 16 million dollars. What do you think if I told you she’s not ordinary, but the vice president of L Company, a high–ranking female manager?”
Glenda paused, slowly furrowing her brow.
Isabelle smiled, “Isn’t it a bit strange? She was the female vice president, exuding a strong presence, and spoke with great efficiency, but she was surprisingly approachable, warm, and playful like a little

girl, without any trace of calculation. It contradicted her profession.”
Glenda frowned, she understood a bit. One’s work and personal character could be separated, but not to this extent.
Unless she deliberately did so.
“Don’t you think she wasn’t a good person? Did she deliberately pretend to be harmless just to befriend you?”
Isabelle shrugged and squinted her eyes, saying, “I didn’t start off with ill intentions towards people, but I could definitely tell when someone had ill intentions towards me.”
Isabelle watched and waited for now.
Isabelle is now curious about how deeply Amy’s feelings for Warren are, or if Warren’s company is really powerful.
Isabelle returned to the villa with baby clothes in her hand.
