The engagement is off!
The dining room fell into dead silence.
Margaret Evans frowned.
"What about Twitter?"
"Today's trending topics are all praising Isabella!"
She had personally arranged the PR team.
Alexander Vance's eyes were icy.
"Are you sure they're praising her?"
Margaret's heart skipped a beat.
She quickly opened her phone.
Julian Evans's phone rang at the same time.
It was a call from the PR department.
His face changed drastically after answering.
He immediately opened Twitter's trending topics.
Isabella Ashcroft asked uneasily, "Julian, what's wrong?"
"How dare you even ask?"
Margaret suddenly swept the tableware toward Isabella!
Scalding hot porridge splashed all over her.
Isabella screamed and stood up.
Margaret raised her hand and slapped her hard!
Slap!
The sound of the slap echoed through the dining room.
Isabella covered her face, stunned.
"Mrs. Evans…"
Margaret sneered.
"Look at Twitter yourself!"
Isabella tremblingly opened her phone.
The top trending topic was clearly negative news about her.
Ethan Young's tweet had been shared by a journalist and quickly gained traction.
The police department had already issued a statement commending Ethan Young.
The facts were indisputable.
Isabella was completely ruined this time.
She stood frozen in place, her face pale.
Thomas Watson适时走进餐厅,笑容可掬:“老爷子,股份转让合同修改好了,现在签吗?这类交易需要对外公告。”
Alexander's voice was cold.
"Does Sister-in-law still want a daughter-in-law like this?"
"The Vance family would be the biggest joke if we married her!"
Margaret clenched her fists and pointed to the door.
"Get out!"
"Leave right now!"
"The engagement is canceled!"
Isabella tried to explain.
"Mrs. Evans, I…"
"Shut up!"
"If you don't leave now, I'll call security!"
Isabella trembled and looked at Julian.
The man's eyes were icy, with no intention of defending her.
She lowered her head.
"I'll leave now."
The dining room was dead silent.
Thomas spoke again.
"Will the share transfer still be signed?"
Margaret's face was livid.
Robert Vance and Richard Evans looked grim.
They finally realized they had suffered a great loss.
Not only did they not get the shares, but they also lost two percent!
Robert was so angry he stood up and left the table.
Richard hurriedly followed.
"Dad, I'll take you."
Margaret and Julian left in disgrace.
...
Isabella returned to the Ashcroft family in disgrace.
She still had rice grains stuck to her.
William Ashcroft came up to her.
"Isabella, did you get the shares?"
He was stunned when he saw his daughter's condition.
"What happened?"
"Sophia, come down quickly!"
Sophia Ashcroft came downstairs supported by Nancy.
She frowned when she saw Isabella.
William helped his daughter sit down, furious.
"Who did this?"
"The Vance family?"
"I'll settle accounts with them!"
Isabella quickly stopped him.
"Dad, don't go!"
William stopped.
"What exactly happened?"
Sophia spoke slowly.
"Because of the trending topics?"
Isabella lowered her head and cried.
"Mom, I didn't do it on purpose..."
"Liam Lowell threatened me, I didn't dare to say..."
"Julian was so good to me at the time, I didn't want to lose him..."
Sophia's gaze was stern.
"Why didn't you tell the truth when the police questioned you?"
Isabella sobbed.
"I was afraid Julian would leave me..."
"I never thought the Vance family would hype it up on Twitter..."
Sophia sneered.
"You're still making excuses now!"
Isabella looked up.
"Mom!"
"Help me..."
"Go talk to the Vance family, ask them not to call off the engagement!"
Sophia sighed.
"Since the engagement is off, reflect on yourself at home."
"I didn't teach you well before, I will be strict with you from now on."
William finished reading Twitter and tried to smooth things over.
"Sophia, don't be angry, the child is just a bit vain..."
Sophia shook her head.
"William, don't spoil her anymore."
"A child's misbehavior is the father's fault, we are both responsible."
Isabella suddenly looked up.
"Mom!"
"I come home after being wronged, and you don't comfort me but scold me instead?"
She turned and ran upstairs.
The nanny's exclamation came.
"Young lady!"
Sophia and William hurried upstairs.
Isabella stood outside the third-floor railing, pretending to jump.
Sophia's legs went weak.
"Isabella!"
Isabella shouted.
"Mom, go to the Vance family and save the engagement!"
"Otherwise I'll jump down!"
