Chapter 158
Isabella snapped back to reality and jumped out of bed, hands on her hips, yelling at Thalassa, ‘Are you nuts? You dare to come to my place and attack me!”
Just now, the back of her head had collided with the hard wooden headboard, which made a dull thud and caused her to see stars. Rage shot up from her chest. Isabella stood there, chest heaving, eyes as wide as saucers.
Thalassa glared at her, hands on her hips as well, standing tall and defiant, “Hitting you is the least I could do! You gave me a fake emerald pendant on purpose. You said it was for my own good, but it was a trap to frame me for theft! Isabella, you’re a bitch!” Isabella realized that Thalassa had overheard her phone call. She glanced at her phone lying on the bed, still in the middle of a call, not yet hung up
Thalassa had barged in and grabbed her, throwing her onto the bed. She didn’t have time to hang up because she was too angry and forgot about her phone.
Noticing that her phone was still on the call, Isabella’s breath hitched, and she hurried over to grab it.
Thalassa saw the phone on the bed too. Seeing Isabella move, she was quicker and picked it up first.
The phone was still on call, and the contact name was Faye Brennan!
It was Faye!
Seeing this name, Thalassa’s anger flared even more.
Isabella was teaming up with Faye to bully her!
Thalassa was fuming, she said into the phone, “Faye, if I’ve offended you, you can tell me straight up, there’s no need to do things behind my back!”
Before she could finish, the call was hung up.
Thalassa was about to call back when Isabella, her hand adorned with sharp nails, snatched the phone away. She was seething. “Thalassa, have you had enough! If you’re done, please leave!”
“So eager to get rid of me, feeling guilty, are you?” Thalassa’s clear gaze was filled with anger, she glared back.
“Five years ago, it was Faye who told you that Lysander was looking for me, right? You were jealous, so you lied that I was dead! You even made up the story that the woman Lysander was looking for that night was Celia Everhart! Isabella, how could you be so vicious, using Celia’s reputation, don’t you fear nightmares?”
The more Thalassa thought about it, the angrier she became.
She didn’t understand how Isabella knew Lysander was looking for her, even convincing Evelyn Pendleton to hold a funeral for a pig. creating the illusion of a significant death in her family.
All this was just to convince Lysander she was truly dead..
Now it all made sense, Isabella and Faye were in cahoots!
Faye was working for Lysander, so she naturally knew what Lysander was up to, who he was looking for.
Faye tipped off Isabella in advance, who then made full preparations. The two of them worked together and deceived Lysander for five years and kept her in the dark for just as long!
This was outrageous!
Isabella, who had been acting high and mighty, looked panicked after hearing Thalassa’s accusations.
Thalassa knew that Lysander was with her that night?
How did she know?
How did she know Lysander thought she was dead?
Had they had a heart–to–heart?
Isabella’s firm gaze suddenly became flustered. But soon after, she regained her composure, suppressing her inner turmoil, she said, “I don’t know what you’re blabbering about.”
Isabella’s eyes darted around, not daring to meet Thalassa’s gaze.
She acted like she had no idea about the wrong she’d done!
Isabella’s attitude was like a fuse, instantly igniting Thalassa’s anger.
Thalassa didn’t know where she got the courage and strength from, but she walked over, grabbed Isabella by the collar, pushed her onto the bed, and slapped her.
