Chapter 86 The Scapegoat
Warren turned around and warned Sheldon with a facial expression to be more alert. Sheldon immediately understood, shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Oh! Ms. Spencer, I got it.”
Warren’s face softened a bit. Warren felt that his subordinates would not notice his change in expression.
Sheldon quickly called Alex.
Alex was also confused. Alex immediately exclaimed in dissatisfaction, “Warren, weren’t you almost getting divorced from Isabelle after a fight? Why did you bring her along? Pregnant women can’t drink alcohol. She will only ruin our guys‘ party…”
“If you kept on talking nonsense, I would cut off your tongue.”
Alex immediately changed his expression and said, “Warren, I will definitely handle this matter well.”
“Let Isabelle come, but don’t let her know that I asked her to come.”
Warren hung up the phone. Sheldon shook his head. Warren clearly wanted to coax Isabelle, but he was unwilling to give in. Sheldon could imagine how Warren would show off when they reached the private room, waiting for Isabelle to soften her heart and make peace. Sheldon felt that Warren was asking for trouble.
“Ms. Watson, do you need something?” Sheldon turned around and saw Amy.

Amy let go of the tightly held files and walked over with a smile, saying, “Warren, you finally made up with Isabelle. That’s great. Everyone has been as unhappy as you these days.”
Warren looked at Amy displeasedly and said, “What do you mean by that?”
Amy didn’t want to miss the opportunity of Warren being in a good mood. Amy smiled and said, “Is there a party tonight? I rarely don’t have to work overtime, and I also want to join in the fun.”
Warren remained noncommittal.
After Amy handed over several documents, she turned around and left.
Returning to her own office, Amy stood in front of the desk and waved her hand, causing the documents to scatter onto the floor.
The assistant at the entrance was startled. Amy looked up and smiled, “Did Warren and Isabelle meet today? Please check.”
Amy went to great lengths to sow discord between Warren and Isabelle, causing them to have a big argument. Amy believed that Warren and Isabelle would not reconcile.
But what Amy didn’t expect was that Warren and Isabelle’s relationship would improve so quickly.
The assistant quickly brought back the message, “Ms. Watson, today Isabelle met with Mr. Levine, but Mr. Levine didn’t wear a mask. Isabelle didn’t know Mr. Levine’s true identity. They went to have a meal together. It is estimated that Isabelle told Mr. Levine a lot of things, and Mr. Levine also learned the truth about Isabelle’s injury.”
Amy was very angry. She didn’t expect the conflict to be resolved so easily by Isabelle and Warren. Amy thought to herself, “Isabelle doesn’t know Warren’s true identity, and Warren took advantage of that to test

Isabelle’s thoughts. Should I let Isabelle know Warren’s true identity? No, if Isabelle knows that Warren is noble and distinguished, she won’t let go.”
A hint of coldness flashed in Amy’s eyes. Amy was not in a hurry because she had her ways.
***
Isabelle was confused when she received Alex’s invitation.
Warren had several good friends. Isabelle had met Marin twice, but she wasn’t very familiar with Alex.
Glenda shrugged and said, “Go ahead. This is a gathering organized by L’s group of friends, they might want to make peace. What if L shows up too?”
Ever since Warren showed no concern for Isabelle in the hospital, Glenda has had a negative impression of Warren.
||
Isabelle felt that since she and Warren were not divorced yet, she should not offend Warren’s friends.
Isabelle arrived at Galaxy Club. The manager led Isabelle into a luxurious private room and warmly said, “Mr. Herman instructed me to take good care of you. Mr. Herman will be here shortly. Ms. Spencer, please be patient.”
At that time, there were no other customers in the private room. The -environment of the private room was elegant and clean, without a trace
of smoke or alcohol smell.
Isabelle was pregnant. Isabelle felt very comfortable sitting on the sofa. Isabelle wondered if Alex was as thoughtful.

Amy, standing at the end of the corridor, watched as Isabelle entered the compartment.
Amy made a phone call.
Soon, a well–dressed girl ran up and said, “Amy! Is Warren really here?”
The girl was full of anticipation.

“Bailee Herman,” Amy nodded with a smile. However, Amy hesitated and quickly said, “But Isabelle is also here, maybe you shouldn’t go.”
“What? The surrogate tool is here too?” Bailee frowned disdainfully and said, “Amy, you have always been kind and elegant. Why are you so respectful towards Isabelle?”
Amy said gently, “Because I respected Warren.”
Bailee looked at Amy’s beautiful face and was afraid that her thoughts would be exposed. Bailee said, “Amy, did you really just let go of Warren?”
Amy looked at Bailee with a bitter smile and said, “Maybe we can’t force feelings. I have waited for Warren for so many years, but he was not moved by me. I have to give up. It’s not that I don’t like Isabelle, but I always feel… Bailee, I like you more. I also know that you like Warren…”
Bailee understood Amy’s meaning. Bailee was moved to tears and said, “Amy, I didn’t expect you to support me. You are so generous. Compared to that lowly woman Isabelle, who comes from a humble background, I am certainly more deserving of Warren. How dare

Isabelle come here and show off. Isabelle is nothing more than a surrogate tool. Watch how I deal with Isabelle!”
“Don’t be impulsive,” Amy said worriedly, pulling Bailee. “This time it’s Alex’s setup. Isabelle was specifically invited by Alex.”
Amy implied that Alex invited Isabelle, but did not invite Bailee.
Alex was Bailee’s cousin. Although their relationship wasn’t great, Bailee was furious at that moment because she felt that Alex was being deceitful.
“Amy, don’t stop me. Alex was also deceived by Isabelle!”
Amy sighed and said, “I can’t control you anymore, but don’t betray me. or next time I won’t tell you Warren’s whereabouts.”
Bailee immediately obediently replied, “Amy, you have helped me so much, how could I involve you in this?”
Bailee stormed towards the private room.
Amy followed Bailee slowly, a smile filling her eyes. Amy thought to herself, “Do you really think you’re more suitable for Warren? You’re just a fool. You’re nothing but a tool I used.”
Amy glanced at her hands. Smart people have always achieved their goals through others.
Isabelle saw someone at the door. She thought it was Alex, but instead she saw a charming girl walking in. Isabelle felt that she recognized this girl. She remembered that she was Bailee, a popular female celebrity in the entertainment industry. Bailee was also the little princess of the Herman family, one of the four prestigious families.

Later, Amy also entered the compartment. Seeing Isabelle, Amy smiled softly and said, “Isabelle!”
Isabelle squinted her eyes and pursed her lips.
Bailee came in and angrily commanded the manager, “Go pour me a cocktail.”
The manager, unable to offend Bailee, glanced at Isabelle with difficulty and said, “Ms. Herman, Ms. Spencer was pregnant. Mr. Herman said this private room is non–smoking and alcohol–free.”
Bailee immediately glared at Isabelle with anger and sneered, “Who does she think she is? She’s just a tool for Warren to have children. Oh, this sofa looks nice. Manager, I want to sit on this sofa!”
Bailee pointed at the soft sofa Isabelle was sitting on.
The manager asked someone to pour the drinks. The manager was even more troubled now.
Isabelle squinted her eyes slightly, suddenly realizing that Bailee was coming towards her.
Isabelle wanted to know what exactly L was all about.
Isabelle only realized in L’s friend’s eyes, she was just a tool for giving birth.
Isabelle pursed her lips slightly and also looked at the manager.
The manager was in a dilemma and said, “But this sofa was sat on by Ms. Spencer…”
“What is her identity? What is my identity? Won’t you make her leave?” Bailee arrogantly pressured the manager.

Isabelle kindly explained, “Ms. Herman, the manager meant that this is a maternity sofa. Are you pregnant?”
Bailee’s face turned cold as she said, “How dare you mock me? You
are just a surrogate tool. You are truly audacious.”
Bailee tilted the wine glass and spilled the wine onto the sofa. Isabelle’s dress hem got wet.
