Chapter 1039
They all knew the organization always made good on its threats.
If they became a liability, they would be discarded.
And their end would be unimaginably gruesome.
In the corner, Isabella had already curled herself into a tight, trembling ball.
Since attaching herself to Sebastian, she had harbored suspicions that the Doyle family’s empire wasn’t built on legitimate business.
After all, Sebastian was a total psychopath.
And Arthur was clearly the most depraved psychopath of them all.
What kind of legitimate enterprise could a family of monsters run? It had to be something horrific.
But now p>
Listening to the Doyles’ conversation and witnessing the arrival of this terrifying Special Envoy p>
Isabella was overwhelmed by a suffocating wave of despair.
She realized the Doyles weren’t just engaged in twisted deals; they were deeply entrenched in something highly illegal.
If this blew up, it meant hard prison time, or worse.
And she had tied herself directly to Sebastian.
Serena had utterly ruined him.
Did that mean Serena would tear down the entire Doyle family next?
If the Doyles fell… what would happen to her?
She was starting to wonder if she had chosen a suicidal path.
Isabella huddled against the side of the hospital bed, panic and sheer terror radiating from her.
Suddenly, Arthur’s predatory gaze locked onto her, his eyes dark and menacing. “You p>
He pointed a finger at her and beckoned. “Crawl over here p>
Isabella was paralyzed with fear, trembling uncontrollably as she stared back at him.
She shot a desperate, pleading look at Sebastian.
Sebastian’s expression was grim, his face pale and sickly.
As she silently begged for help, he simply spat, “My dad told you to get over there. Move your ass p>
Isabella’s face went completely bloodless.
Arthur’s depravity was likely far worse than Sebastian’s.
But in this situation, Sebastian clearly had no intention of protecting her.
Or rather, he never would have protected her anyway.
She had no choice.
Shaking violently, she slowly and carefully crawled her way to Arthur’s feet.
She stayed on her knees, looking up at him while shivering like a leaf.
Arthur grabbed her jaw, forcefully tilting her face from side to side to inspect her. “Weren’t you the golden child of the tancaster family? Look at you cowering This doesn’t look like the poise of high society p>
Isabella’s eyelashes fluttered in terror as tears streamed down her face.
It was an involuntary reaction to pure fear.
Her tears landed on Arthur’s fingers.
He frowned in disgust and delivered a stinging backhand across her cheek. “Shut
up, you pathetic bitch. Why are you crying? Your man isn’t dead yet p>
The strike sent Isabella collapsing to the floor, shaking but too terrified to move a muscle.
“From what I know, those hypocrites
in the Lancaster family love to play the righteous saviors. They raised
you. They wouldn’t just throw roone
out because they found their
biological daughter That doesn’t fit their precious moral image.
Arthur placed a heavy foot squarely on Isabella’s back, glaring down at her with absolute contempt. “So tel me, little bitch. I want to know how a country girl-a piece of trash
e’
discarded by some third rate family
like the Wynn’s in
action
City has
the power to reduce the esteemed
Lancaster heiress to this pathetic state p>
“Tell me every single thing you know about Serena. Leave nothing out. Because if I find out you hid even a single detail p>
He suddenly shifted his weight, grinding his shoe aggressively into her back.
Isabella let out a shrill scream of agony, tears and snot running down her face.
