Chapter 204 Monte
Zolo's lips could not help but curl up.
Chris glanced at him indifferently and turned to Isabella. "Bella, can I buy you dinner?"
Isabella nodded without thinking. She could not bear to look at Zolo's family now.
Isabella said to Zolo. "I'll get going first."
Then, she bade farewell to Madame Emma Lockwood and the others and left Zolo's house with Chris.
Zolo sent her to the gate. Isabella turned around and waved. She saw Zolo and his family walking out. Even Bobby, the autistic little boy, came out.
Isabella sighed, waved her hand, and left with Chris.
After getting into the car, Isabella asked, "Did the Zolo family stand against you during the crisis you experienced two years ago?"
Chris nodded and said, "No one was on my side back then. I thought I was almost hopeless. The others thought so too. Zolo's family was just one of them. However, they are not the leaders, so I left them a way out."
His voice was aggrieved and cold. He felt aggrieved because of the despair and coldness at that time. It was also because of those who had abandoned him when he was down.
He would only reveal his grievances when facing Azure Dragon.
"But Zolo's family said that they lost all their assets ten years ago because of a business problem," Isabella said.
The corner of Chris's mouth twitched. "Ten years ago, they also suffered a huge setback under my hands." Isabella facepalmed.
What an evil fate.
"Thank you for your help two years ago. I've never formally thanked you."
Chris looked deeply at Isabella. "Before this, I didn't even know if you were a man or a woman, old or young. but I had long regarded you as the most important friend in my life." Isabella smiled. Two years ago, she thought a genius like Chris should not die, so she helped him. Now, she had gained herself a friend.
They arrived at a luxurious western restaurant and chatted as they ate.
"I didn't even know you came to Avon." Chris sounded a little resentful.
Isabella briefly told him about Claire and the Carol family's situation.
Chris narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The Carol family is very influential. Of course, they are strong because their predecessor, the Andri family, was powerful. Sean is just a liar and a thief. However, this swindler is very ruthless. He is also quite good at business. In the past two years, I had taken revenge on many people, but I had been slow in dealing with the Carol family. In fact, I've already made plans. In less than a year, I can make the Carol family go bankrupt."
Isabella looked at him in amazement. It wasn't easy to make a wealthy family like the Carol family go bankrupt
Chris said, "In the past, the Andri family had the support of two big shots. Later, these two big shots joined the Carols, allowing Sean to smoothly take control of the Andri family and change their name to the Carol family. Start with those two big shots if you want to take everything back as soon as possible."
Isabella's eyes lit up. She asked, "Who are they?"
"Kurt and Marshall. If these two go down, it'll be equivalent to Carol losing their arms and legs."
Isabella's eyes curved, and she smiled happily. She picked up the red wine, and the two clinked glasses gently.
Sitting opposite them were a young man and a woman. The young man kept looking at Isabella. Isabella had long noticed him, but she ignored him.
That was because the young man's gaze was too frivolous. He must be some wealthy playboy who treated her as prey.
Isabella ignored him.
However, the other party was clearly unable to hold himself back. The waiter walked over and served them an exquisite cake, saying it was from that guy. Following the waiter's gaze, Isabella and Chris looked at the other party.
When the young man saw them looking over, he raised his glass slightly and revealed a smile that he thought was charming.
Chris's eyes turned cold.
The young man did not see clearly that the man opposite Isabella was Chris. Now that he recognized Chris, his expression could not help but stiffen.
Isabella said to the waiter, "Please take this cake. I don't need it."
The waiter seemed troubled, but in the end, he took the cake away.
Perhaps because the young man was scared of Chris, he did not cause more trouble.
After dinner, Isabella and Chris left the restaurant.
As soon as they left, the young man called someone to investigate Isabella. His eyes were filled with determination.
His female companion showed dissatisfaction, but he dismissed her with disgust.
"Where do you live?" Chris asked.
Isabella said, "Send me to Carol's house. Claire and the others are still there."
When Isabella returned to the Carol family, she found that the Carol family was in chaos.
There was no other reason. Claire had thrown Sean and Millie's things out of the master bedroom. She occupied the room.
Sean was naturally furious. After a while, he was beaten up by Claire again.
His old injuries had yet to heal, and new injuries had appeared. It was a tragic sight.
Claire stepped on the sofa and crossed her arms. She looked at Sean coldly. When she saw Isabella, she smiled.
"Mrs Thompson, you're back? I've tidied up the master bedroom for you. The bed and other utensils have been replaced with new ones."
Isabella smiled and nodded.
Then, she glanced at Sean and Millie. The two looked sullen and angry, but they dared not say anything.
However, she did not see Helen.
Isabella narrowed her eyes. Why wasn't Helen here at this time?
"Where's Helen? Isabella asked.
Claire sneered. "I don't know. I haven't seen her since she got back."
Finally, Isabella and the 18 Blue Crystals occupied all the master bedrooms and guest rooms of the Carrol family.
Angrily, Sean and Millie left the main building and headed for the one next to it.
In the basement chamber of that building, Helen injected another vial of liquid into Alanna's body
The reopened wound on Alanna's body miraculously healed again.
Alanna rolled on the ground in pain.
Helen towered over her, admiring her sorry state. Her eyes were full of interest.
"Alanna, my instincts tell me you're not a simple person Tell me everything you know about the crystal potion, Sif's secret, and Isabella's secret. Tell me everything." Alanna could only roll on the ground. When the intense pain disappeared, Alanna was covered in sweat, as if
the just got fished out of water.
Her face was pale, and she said weakly, "What exactly did you inject me with? Why is my injury getting worse?"
When she woke up, she found that Helen injected her with the drug every 24 hours.
Her previously injured part seemed to have recovered after being injected with medicine, but 24 hours later, it would split open again and become worse.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought that this woman named Helen was simply a perverted demon.
"You have no right to ask me. You only have to tell me everything you know. I'll make you feel better."
Helen squatted down and pinched her chin while saying coldly.
Alanna's eyes flashed with intense resentment. She hated this vicious woman in front of her, but she hated Isabella even more.
She was in this state because of Isabella.
She said, "Okay. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Helen released her and seemed prepared to listen to her.
Alanna said, "Do you know the 18 Blue Crystal people under Sif? They are all now loyal to Isabella. No matter what you want to do, no matter what your goal is, Isabella will become your greatest enemy. Not only is she the Miraculous Doctor, but she is also Azure Dragon. The most frightening thing is that she is the Lockwood family's patriarch's wife. With such an enemy, no matter what you want to do, you can only think about it." Helen narrowed her eyes slightly. "You hate Isabella. You want to use me against her?"
Alanna smiled and said frankly, "That's right! However, I'm telling the truth."
Helen heard footsteps and knew Sean and Millie had arrived. Losing interest, she got up and headed out.
Sean and Millie miserably told Helen about Claire's arrogant behavior.
Helen frowned. Claire and the others dared to be so arrogant because they had Isabella's support.
Alanna was right. Isabella was indeed a problem.
Helen reached the hall and saw a young man entering.
Helen frowned in disgust. "Why are you here, Monte?"
Monte laughed frivolously before saying, "I'm here to ask for your help. I found a beauty, but she's with Chris. I can't find out where she came from, so I can only ask you, Miss Helen!"
