Chapter 83 David Lopez
Isabelle blinked away the traces of tears, her face pale and worn as she forced a bitter smile. “Misunderstanding? I was throwing up in the bathroom, and Brandon was just helping me. Even if he misjudged the situation, he should have at least asked me how I was doing tonight, despite being late.”
He not only didn’t save me, he didn’t even ask if I was hurt. He even insulted me and said I was doing well. Glenda, I am very disappointed. He doesn’t value me at all. Maybe after proposing to date, he lost interest in me…”
She couldn’t suppress her wild thoughts.
Glenda immediately interrupted, “Don’t think like that. L seems mature and not someone who would lose control so easily. Could there be something else that has upset him? Are you saying he didn’t help you?”
“Brandon said it was him who saved me. I was beaten unconscious, and indeed, Brandon helped me to the hospital at the entrance of the police station.”
Glenda wondered, “You offended Chandler with this case, and I know a little about his temper. Can he be persuaded by just Brandon?”
“Don’t be too quick to be disappointed in L,”
Isabelle blinked her eyes, looking desolate. “Perhaps I never really understood him. He would entertain me when he had free time, but when something came up, he would abandon me. Maybe that’s just his nature. And his sister, who is always by his side, is not simple at all.”
“Ms. Green? Did you figure it out?”

Isabelle squinted her eyes, “She was good at disguising herself. Not only men, but even women found it difficult to tell. If there was no blood relation, this sister would be interesting.”
Glenda could sense the coldness in her tone, and her expression turned cold as well. “That day, I almost believed she was kind and innocent. You have to be cautious of this woman.”
Isabelle felt lonely. What’s the point of guarding against anything? “We argued so much, there might not be a future for us,” she thought.
Glenda sighed and analyzed, “You just started dating and don’t know each other well. Both of you have your own personalities. Ultimately, there is a lack of trust between you. You complain, and he gets angry. If you both calm down, things will get better. Maybe he will worry about you and the children in a couple of days and come to apologize…”
At that moment, Glenda’s assistant brought her computer.
She immediately changed the subject, “Let’s talk about tonight’s incident, you were really dangerous. It’s fortunate that the Lopez family dropped the charges. Otherwise, due to the serious commercial crime, you would have been sentenced to over ten years. Tonya is really ruthless, she didn’t hesitate to sacrifice Luck Jewelry…”
Isabelle asked her assistant to close the door and whispered, “I have thought about it carefully, and this time doesn’t seem like Tonya’s doing. Does Tonya have the ability to target the Lopez family?”
Glenda was startled, “Are you saying that the person behind Julia and her daughter, the one who took action?”
“At least it was his idea. Did you find out?”
“Just as I was about to tell you,” Glenda opened her laptop, “after Julia had a big fight with George, she ended up sleeping with this guy

named Ross Pruitt, who is a big shot in the business world in Potoyapa City, but he’s just wealthy. I don’t believe he can command overseas judges, buy design drafts at a high price, and play games with Chandler.”
“Last name Pruitt?” Isabelle frowned. “Couldn’t find any connection between him and someone more powerful?”
“I couldn’t find anything. I couldn’t reach out to the hands of Potoyapa City. It’s too terrifying with the gathering of the powerful and
influential.”
Isabelle frowned, realizing that the person behind Julia was not simple, unlike Ross alone. The clues had come to a halt. She said, “Now we can only wait for Alice’s message and see if we can find out the person behind the overseas judge.”
The next day, the police came to the hospital to take a statement from Isabelle. Due to the Lopez family’s withdrawal of the lawsuit, this commercial case could be big or small. Luck Jewelry suffered a great blow to its reputation, but it could still be salvaged. Isabelle provided evidence related to Tonya, but Tonya had already planned her way out. She shifted all the blame for purchasing fake gemstones onto the head of the purchasing department, leaving herself only with the charge of inadequate supervision. The purchasing department manager turned himself in, and the case was solved.
Isabelle’s face turned as cold as frost. What a perfect “Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell” move, it seemed like
Tonya had received guidance
from a master.
Thinking about almost being beaten to miscarriage in the detention center, Isabelle would never let Tonya off the hook.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Glenda’s prediction failed. L did not come, not even a trace of an assistant was seen.

Isabelle was very disappointed, but fortunately she had a caregiver who took care of her attentively and provided her with the best food. Since she couldn’t take medication, she asked Glenda to buy some ointment and hid in the bathroom to apply it. The bruise was still very deep, but it wasn’t as painful anymore.
The company’s reputation was on the line, and the first thing to do was to apologize to Monica. Offending the four major powerhouses was absolutely unacceptable.
Isabelle took another two days off. When her injury improved a bit, she led a few senior members of Luck Jewelry to personally visit the Lopez family’s private hospital.
She waited from morning until evening, and the hospital finally opened.
Isabelle hurriedly entered the senior ward and accompanied the respected old lady with a smile. “Monica, I’m really sorry. I am the general manager of Luck Jewelry and also the designer of the True Love series for noble ladies. My name is Isabelle. Poor internal management in the company led to a mistake in the diamond materials. causing such a great displeasure for your birthday banquet…”
“Who let you in?” Monica slammed a cup of tea onto the ground. “All you’ve caused me is unhappiness. My husband gave me a big diamond ring, but it turned out to be fake. You made me the laughingstock of the high society! I thought highly of your designs, which is why I purchased from your company. You have disappointed me!”
Isabelle looked apologetic and nervous as she asked the executives behind her to open the precious velvet box in their hands. “It’s all Luck Jewelry’s fault, Mrs. Lopez. These are all globally limited edition designs that I personally created and the company has kept in its collection. If you like them, we will compensate you with all of them…”

Monica glanced over. She felt amazed, but also angrier. “Do you think you can compensate for the illustrious Lopez family with a few measly diamonds? Are you looking down on me? Bodyguard, get her out of here–”
Isabelle couldn’t figure out Monica’s temper and became flustered for a
moment.
At that moment, a refined and pleasant male voice sounded outside the door, “Who has angered my mother?”
Monica turned her head and smiled, “David, why have you come?”
Isabelle looked up and saw a tall, handsome man approaching. He was dressed in a navy blue suit, exuding an air of refined elegance.
The man glanced at Isabelle, his gaze gentle. He then looked at the diamond behind her and smiled, “You think it’s nice, but you complain about it. Isn’t she the designer from Luck Jewelry? Don’t you like her? Don’t scare the little girl.”
Isabelle looked at him with a slight surprise, but she saw him wink.
Isabelle understood and quickly picked up a string of bracelets, walked to the edge of the sofa, and put it on the elderly lady. “Mrs. Lopez, this bracelet with eight diamonds, each embedded with eight–carat rubies and natural colored diamonds. It symbolizes luck and longevity. Your fair and elegant wrist looks especially beautiful with it on.”
“Hey, who made you–” Monica was about to get angry, but was mesmerized by the beauty of the diamond.
It has to be said that the style design was exquisite and luxurious.
“My mother’s hands were really beautiful.”
Monica blushed and said, “Go away, and you will flatter me.”

Isabelle was taken aback. The man turned out to be Monica’s son, and he didn’t look much older than Adam’s grandson.
