Chapter 754
“Stop acting!” Anna couldn’t believe Isabella was denying it. This was her only
chance to clear her name, and she was furious. “Isabella, drop the innocent act! You were the one who said if something happened to Grandpa, Serena would be kicked out of the Vinton family p>
Isabella sounded even more shocked by the accusation, her tone the picture of innocence. “Anna, what is wrong with you? When did I ever tell you to do something like that? Grandpa has been so good to us, why would I ever want you to hurt him? I’ve been trying to convince you to get along with Serena this whole time p>
She suddenly paused, her voice turning frantic. “Wait, did you say something happened to Grandpa? What happened to him? Anna, you… you didn’t do something to him, did you p>
Her tone and her words sounded entirely fake.
Especially that final touch of urgent concern. It was an absolute masterclass in playing the innocent, devoted granddaughter.
Anna was livid, unleashing a torrent of curses at the phone.
She never expected Isabella to be this manipulative and disgusting. The moment her plot failed, Isabella was completely cutting ties and playing dumb.
If it weren’t for Isabella’s scheming, she would have never targeted Serena, and she certainly wouldn’t be in this horrifying predicament!
But in the face of her crazed insults, Isabella simply let out a heavy sigh. “Anna, the estate’s security system records audio. I’ve been grounded for days, and I never once told you to hurt Grandpa or drive Serena out. Silas is more than welcome to review the audio logs p>
“I know you hate Serena, but… but you shouldn’t have poisoned Grandpa just to get rid of her! He’s your grandfather. He’s treated you so well. How could you p>
By the end of her sentence, Isabella was practically sobbing, entirely washing her hands of the crime.
Anna’s furious rant came to a sudden halt.
She was right. From start to finish, Isabella had never explicitly uttered the words, “Poison Grandpa and blame Serena p>
Even if they pulled the audio logs, every single sentence Isabella had spoken was flawless and completely unincriminating.
It finally dawned on Anna that she had been used as a pawn.
Her so-called best friend-the gentle, kind-hearted Isabella-had
manipulated her into committing a felony, abandoned her when it went wrong, and was now actively turning the tables on her.
“You bitch! You set me up!” Anna shrieked, her eyes bloodshot, her voice entirely hoarse.
On the other end of the line, Isabella seemed to be getting into a scuffle with the servants. She could be heard sobbing loudly, begging them to let her leave the estate so she could rush to the hospital,
She cried continuously, pleading to know what happened to her grandfather, completely ignoring Anna’s frantic accusations.
Anna grew even more enraged, unleashing a barrage of vile curses.
A hand suddenly snatched the phone from the floor, cutting off Anna’s screaming.
Silas lifted the phone. His expression
was dangerously dark as he spoke

You are not needed here p>
With that, he hung up.
He lowered his gaze to Anna, who cowered beneath his terrifying, bone-chilling stare.
“Dad Anna stammered, paralyzed with terror. “Don’t listen to that bitch. It was her… it was her p>
*Slap p>
A sharp sound echoed through the hallway.
