Chapter 504
Otherwise, with Isabella’s proud personality, seeing Serena excel time and time again would inevitably throw her sense of balance further and further off kilter.
This would be a severe blow to Isabella.
Catherine was also worried Isabella would feel scared or overthink things, so she even arranged for Agnes, who had been banished to work in the back garden, to return to her side.
However p>
Isabella clearly didn’t recognize any of this.
All she knew was that her mother, who had always doted on her, was now kicking her out for Serena’s sake!
“Mom Isabella sobbed uncontrollably, reaching for Catherine’s hand, trying to play the victim and win her sympathy.
But Catherine’s expression only flickered with a hint of pity before she turned her
face away.
She even pulled her hand back, not letting Isabella grab it.
“You have to own up to your mistakes. Is that not what the Lancaster family has taught you?” Julian could tell from her expression that she had no idea of their mother’s good intentions.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes cold and stern. “If you can’t figure
it out, then you can stay at the villa and think it over until you do p>
“Julian Isabella’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Before, whenever she cried or acted wronged, her mother would feel sorry for her, and her brother would protect her.
But now, she was crying so pitifully, so heartbrokenly.
Her mother was unmoved.
And her brother was still thinking of sending her away to the countryside.
What had she done wrong? Why were they kicking her out of the Lancaster estate?
Was it because she had challenged Serena to a competition?
Was it because she had tried to stop Serena from treating Mr. Hank?
Was it because of these little things?
But these little things p>
She was the one who ended up facing the consequences!
She was the one who had been forced to publicly apologize to Serena, to crawl on
her knees from the stage to the ballroom entrance.
She was the one whose chance to save Mr. Hank was stolen by Serena, losing the opportunity to become his benefactor!
So why was she still being punished?
Serena was the one who had stolen the show!
They… they were just using this as an excuse to get rid of her!
They just wanted her to leave the Lancaster estate to make room for Serena!
Agnes was right about everything!
After Serena got rid of Agnes, she was next!
And her family, the people she had lived with for twenty years, the family who had once doted on her p>
Now they were just watching coldly as her mother kicked her out of the house!
Not a single person spoke up to stop it.
Her crying, her begging, her struggling here… it was all just making a fool of herself.
Isabella knelt on the floor, tears streaming down her face.
This time, the tears were real, not just an act to win sympathy.
On the other side.
Nicholas lifted his gaze languidly and glanced at the Blackwood family’s butler, Patton.
Patton immediately understood.
With lightning speed, he rounded up
all the socialites who, out of jealousy or a desire to curry favor with Karen
and Isabella, had taken their side, targeted Serena, and mocked her.
They were all pulled out into the open.
Along with them, their families were held accountable by the Blackwood acted without a
able by the Dod
fam for the consequences
The elders of those families were stunned.
They wanted to ask Old Mr.
Blackwood if he was really going to
let Nicholas lash out at so many families at an event like this:
But Old Mr. Blackwood just stood there with his cane, alongside the Lancasters,
without a flicker of emotion on his face.
In fact, he gave a slight nod.
His expression was one of complete approval of Nicholas’s actions.
