Isabelle happened to hear Daniel Thompson’s invitation to have tea with him.
Daniel Thompson would not invite her to tea for no reason. Could it be that Gillian did sothing?
She imdiately picked up her cell phone and called Gillian, but the line was busy.
“Go change your clothes and co with later.” Samuel frowned at Isabelle’s dusty appearance.
Although Isabelle’s clothes were not cheap, they looked dusty after spending so much ti at the hospital and sleeping on the floor last night.
Isabelle glanced at her clothes, her eyes reddened.
As the eldest lady of the Richardson family, she had never been so embarrassed before.
Thinking of what Emma did to her, Isabelle felt wronged: “Where can I change my clothes now? I can’t even enter my own house. I tried to go in to drink water yesterday, but Emma chased out as soon as I entered.”
As she said that, she glanced at Samuel pleadingly. Seeing his furrowed brows, she continued, “1 had nowhere to sleep, so I had to spend the night on the ground. Even if she’s my biological sister and I made a big mistake, I should still be able to enter my ho, right?”
“She said that you demanded all of this. Daddy, did you really ask for this?” Hearing her words, Samuel’s eyes flashed, neither admitting nor denying her accusation.
“Emma is just straightforward. You don’t need to take her seriously.” After saying that, he smiled slightly, “I’ll take you in.”
Hearing his words, Isabelle’s heart skipped a beat.
It was apparent that Samuel was protecting that despicable woman, and he didn’t intend to stand up for Isabelle.
At that mont, Emma ca out, and when she saw Samuel, she sweetly called out, “Dad.” She hugged Samuel’s arm warmly like a normal father and daughter, and Samuel looked very gentle.
Upon seeing this scene, Isabelle stood still.
In the past, she was afraid even to get close to Samuel, let alone hug his arm.
Samuel had always been violent when he was young, and although he seed to have changed, his temperant had not. He would beat her whenever he felt stressed, and her so-called respect for him was more of an instinctive fear.
Seeing Emma like this now, Isabelle thought she was mistaken.
It was as if Emma noticed Isabelle for the first ti, and she smiled enthusiastically, “Sister, you’re here too. Co in, I just made lunch and made your favorite Kung Pao Chicken.”
She even knew her favorite dish. This woman was extraordinary!
Isabelle took a good look at Emma for the first ti and saw her smiling like nothing was wrong. She felt disgusted.
“No need, I’m not hungry.” She didn’t enter the house but spoke directly to
Samuel, “I’ve thought about what you told last ti about marrying Jake Smith, and I agree…”
“Pfft…” Emma covered her mouth and laughed, “Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if you’re willing, Jake might not be. Besides, Jake and I have already t our parents, and his mother likes very much. She even gave the family heirloom, see?”
She raised the erald green bracelet on her wrist, smiling innocently.
Seeing that jade bracelet, Isabelle’s eyes turned red with envy.
The bracelet’s texture was clearly glass-like, and with its erald green color, it was worth at least six-figures. If it were placed in the auction house, it could go even higher.
She hadn’t expected the Smith family to be so rich that they directly gave their heirloom bracelet to Emma. When she thought that the bracelet should have been hers, Isabelle’s jealousy made her tremble.
If it weren’t for Emma, Jake would have had no choice but to choose her.
It was all Emma’s fault! If not for her, the plan wouldn’t have been disrupted.
Samuel glanced at the bracelet on Emma’s wrist and said with satisfaction, “This bracelet is not bad. The Smith family’s financial situation has always been good, but they’re low-key. It’s also good that Jake’s family likes you. You won’t be bullied after you marry into their family.”
Emma lifted her chin and smiled proudly, “With Dad here, who would dare to bully ?”
“That’s true!” Samuel laughed happily, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let them bully my precious daughter.”
Seeing this scene, Isabelle’s heart had sunk to the bottom.
She realized that Samuel and Emma seed more like a genuine father and daughter, while she and Samuel were like a boss and subordinate.
After so many years, her relationship with Samuel couldn’t change, as she had been beaten by him since she was a child and couldn’t get close to him.
Isabelle let her gaze drop with a mix of envy and jealousy.
“Your sister is already engaged to Jake Smith, so let’s not bring this up again. Didn’t Daniel Thompson invite you over for tea? I think the Thompson boys aren’t bad at all…” Samuel squinted, his thoughts plain for everyone to hear. Isabelle kept her expression calm but her heart was pounding with anxiety.
She didn’t dare to even interact with the Thompson family mbers.
Thinking about being related to Molly Walker and Gillian Thompson made her feel as if life was worse than death.
She glanced at Samuel, holding back her retort, deciding to appease him for now and deal with it once they reached the Thompson family’s estate.
If she could successfully negotiate the partnership again, Samuel wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Soon, Isabelle changed her clothes and walked out with Samuel when Emma curiously asked, “Where are you guys going?” “To the Thompson family’s estate.”
“The Thompson family?” Emma’s eyes lit up.
She had heard about the richest family in Sunnydale City and their charming and outstanding-looking Thompson brothers, especially the incident with Ivy Thompson, which had made waves everywhere.
Since she had reclaid her status, it was only a matter of ti before she enters the celebrities’ circle, and the Thompson family was her first target to win over.
“Can I go?” Emma asked innocently, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Since Samuel had always wanted to bring Emma into the circles of the wealthy, he agreed without hesitation: “Let’s go together.”
Upon hearing this, Isabelle’s face turned pale and she said abruptly, “Uncle Daniel didn’t invite my sister. Dad, it might not be appropriate to bring her along so suddenly.”
After all, Emma was an illegitimate child and her status wasn’t suitable for such occasions.
Samuel frowned, “l have known Daniel for many years, and it’s only right for to take Emma to visit him. It’s not your place to interfere as a child.” Isabelle’s face turned pale as she choked on her words.
“Fine, let’s go together. Just don’t bla if we get kicked out!” Isabelle scoffed.
Being invited by Daniel Thompson himself, they should have known better that he wanted to see her, not Emma.
She decided to have Gillian find a chance to kick Emma out and let her lose face.
The three of them then went to the Thompson family’s estate.
By this ti, Daniel had been stabilized by the family doctor.
In the room, Gillian’s face was dark, as if she had seen through the vanity of
“Mr. Thompson, Miss Isabelle and Mr. Samuel Richardson have also arrived,” the housekeeper reported.
Upon hearing that Samuel had also co, Daniel’s face instantly went cold.
“Let them in.’
The timing was perfect. He was going to ask Samuel how exactly he raised his daughter, who dared to lay a hand on his wife!
