Chapter 220
She was going crazy with her desire to marry Nicholas!
But it wasn’t something she could achieve just by wanting it.
Thinking about Nicholas’s attitude toward Serena versus his attitude toward her was a stark contrast.
Isabella was both desperate and resentful.
She was going crazy with jealousy!
“Oh, my dear Miss Isabella, you’ve forgotten what I told you last time… you have to work on other people!” Agnes lowered her voice. “You’ve always been kind, and as the top socialite groomed by the Lancaster family, you can’t play dirty tricks like that country bumpkin from the countryside. If you want to win Mr. Blackwood back, trying to impress him directly won’t work p>
“Do you know how that country bumpkin managed to charm Mr. Blackwood into driving her home p>
Agnes pursed her lips in disgust. “I just asked around. To marry into the Blackwood family, that country bumpkin has been trying every trick in the book to please them! The Blackwood family’s daughter has a heart condition, yet she dragged the girl out to go racing and even lured Mr. Blackwood there p>
Isabella’s crying stopped abruptly. Her eyes widened. “She… she took Brianna racing p>
“Exactly!” Agnes placed her hands on Isabella’s shoulders, making her look up. “You see? She’s bold and has her methods. With one gamble, she got Mr. Blackwood to drive her home p>
Isabella’s fists clenched, her eyes flickering. “Brianna that’s a dead end for me. Then I should work on Old Mr. Blackwood p>
The only person in the entire Blackwood family who held any sway over Nicholas was Old Mr. Blackwood.
As long as Old Mr. Blackwood was on her side.
Nicholas would have to marry her!
And once she married into the Blackwood family, she had plenty of ways to capture Nicholas’s heart!
Seeing that Isabella had understood, Agnes patted her shoulder gently, her voice growing more serious. “Miss Isabella, Old Mr. Blackwood has always been fond of you, and he’s very anxious to hold a great-grandchild… As long as you can use his influence to successfully get pregnant with Mr. Blackwood’s child, old Mr. Blackwood wil
definitely accept you! Even if Mr. Blackwood is unwilling, he’ll have to marry you for the sake of the child p>
The more Agnes spoke, the brighter the flame of eagerness burned in Isabella’s eyes.
She nodded vigorously. “Yes… yes! As long as old Mr. Blackwood only recognizes.me as his
granddaughter-in-law, that country bumpin Serena will have absolutely
no way of entering the solutely
Blackwood
family’s doors p>
She thought for a moment, then immediately picked up the phone she had thrown on the bed and dialed a number.
Soon, the call connected, and a woman’s voice, full of affection, came through. “Isabella, what’s wrong? Why are you calling me so late p>
Isabella’s eyes reddened, and she made her voice sound delicate and tearful. “Karen, am I bothering you p>
“Not at all, I just got back from a party and I’m wide awake,” the other person said, then paused slightly. “Isabella, have you been crying p>
Isabella blinked, and the tears welling in her eyes spilled over, making her sniffles more pronounced. “No p>
“Don’t lie to me, I can tell,” the woman’s voice turned cold. “Was it that little bitch from the countryside? Is she giving you trouble again? Bullying you p>
Isabella sniffled and denied it again.
The woman grew even angrier. “That little bitch, she can’t go one day without causing trouble. I really don’t know what your parents are thinking. They already have a daughter like you, voted Vaelion
City’s top socialite, yet they insist on
bringing back that country bumpkin. Isn’t that just a pure
embarrassment? Aren’t they
ashamed p>
“That bitch has been bullying you ever since she got back. You can tell she’s nothing
but a troublemaker! Set up a meeting with her. I’ll deal with her p>
