Chapter 146 Isabelle''s Visit
Isabelle Shelby did not expect that there would be such a huge transformation to Susan Shelby''s
identity in just a short year.
In the past, Susan lived on the charity that came from her, and now, she could only look up to
Susan.
Fortunately, she had her reservations so she put in a few neutral words for Susan when Yvonne
wanted to seek Susan''s help in a furious state in the past.
Yet, it was precisely her neutral remarks that kept her here.
This was the difference between her and dumb*ss Susan.
A look of pride shed past Isabelle''s eyes.
She felt that it was strange to meet Susan and Julian Shaw, so she kept her reservations when she
noticed that they were both dressed impressively.
More importantly, Mandy Ainsley loathed Susan so much. If she really wanted to deal with Susan,
would she still need to use Yvonne to do that?
Yet, she could tell that Mandy was still behaving cautiously in view of Susan.
She spoke out to help Susan out of consideration regarding these two points.
She received her remuneration now.
Her request to sit with Susan earlier was only one of her tactics. She was well aware that it was
almost impossible to switch seats on this kind of asion.
Susan rejected her just as expected.
Yet, since she rejected her once, then Susan would not be able to bring herself to reject Isabelle
twice for her second request.
Hence, she got herself Susan''s contact number.
She would be able to get closer to Susan with her contact number.
Getting closer to Susan was equal to getting close to Julian.
Perhaps... She still had hope... 4
Isabelle smiled to hide all her schemes under her delicate appearance.
The birthday dinner party ended.
Luke Jenkins looked at Julian embracing Susan from afar. Then, he inhaled a deep breath and
turned around to leave with a calm expression.
"Luke, wait for me." Mandy could not help catching up to him anxiously. 1
At the Jenkins-
Upon reaching the house, Luke said, "I''ll be in the study room, I still have some work to do."
"Wait.” Mandy''s expression changed drastically as she could not help tugging at him. "Luke, are you
really that busy day in and day out?”
"We have quite a lot of affairs to manage at thepany," said Luke rigidly.

"I don''t think it''s because thepany is busy!” Mandy spoke through her clenched teeth, "I think
it''s you who can’t forget about the little b*tch Susan, right?"
Luke delivered a p to Mandy with the back of his hand. "You''re not allowed to talk about Susan!”
2
Mandy clutched her cheek and looked at Luke in disbelief. "Luke! You hit me! How could you hit me
because of Susan?"
Mandy felt like she was about to go mad.
She had already endured enough of it during this period of time.
She forced herself to go from a proud princess to a poor woman waiting for her man in an empty
room now!
She knew that he was still in love with Susan and that was why she had not imposed on him, but
she was constantly waiting for him.
Yet, what did she get in return?
She got a p in return!
Luke frowned with a slightly regretful expression.
However, his voice turned cold and rigid soon. "You''re the one who sent Yvonne at the dinner party,
right? Mandy, do you know how much trouble your action is going to cost the Jenkins family?"
"Trouble?" Mandy could not help raising her voice. "I think that you care not about the trouble with
the Jenkins family but you’re afraid of hurting your precious sweetheart, huh!"
"You''re impossible.” Luke darted her a cold look before he went upstairs right away.
Luke refused to pay any attention to her at all.
Mandy could not help venting her anger hysterically!
Susan, Susan, Susan!
Why did it always have to be her!
When would she break free from the shadow left behind by this woman!
The next day was a rare rest day.
Susan was still sleeping soundly when she was woken up by a phone call.
She picked up the call hazily. "Hello?”
"Susie, it''s me, Isabelle. Did I wake you from your sleep?" It was Isabelle''s gentle voice.
"It''s fine. I''m awake already." Susan rubbed her eyes. "I s there anything I can help you with, Isa?"
Isabelle''s voice sounded even more gentle when she said, "Susie, I''ve been thinking about
yesterday night’s incident and I feel very sorry for you. After telling my parents about it, they
prepared a gift and asked me to bring along my sister toe see you personally and apologize.” 1
"It''s okay, it’s okay.” Susan was bewildered from hearing that. "Isa, I don''t want to meet that sister of
yours anymore. You know that I’ve always had difficulties getting along with her."
Isabelle could not help chuckling. "Here, today is a rest day for you right? Give me an address and I
shall send over the gift. Don''t worry, I''lle alone.”
"There''s no need..." Susan was about to decline.
Isabelle had already spoken in all apparent seriousness, "Susie, I''m sincerely sorry for doing that t o
you. Won''t you even give me a chance to redeem myself? Do you hate me as well?”
At the end of her sentence, Isabelle sounded like she was already upset even.
"No.” Susan had no other choice but to inform her the address of the vi. Then, she emphasized,
"Susan,e alone. I really don''t want to meet anybody else from your family." 3
"Alright, don''t worry.” Isabelle chuckled and answered, "I''ming over now.”
Susan hung up the call and stretched her body before she got up.
Half an hourter, Isabelle had already arrived as soon as she had her breakfast.
Isabelle looked around the house, then she asked smilingly, "Is Chairman Shaw not around?”
"He has an appointment to go golfing with someone," said Susan casually.
"Oh, I see." The disappointment in Isabelle''s eyes vanished as soon as it appeared. Then, she
smiled and said, "It’s good that Mr. Shaw is not around. Otherwise, he is so imposing that I''m a little
scared of him even."
"There''s nothing to be afraid of. Julian is a good person actually." Susan smiled and led Isabelle to
sit o n the sofa.
"Susie, this is the gift." Susan took out a delicate box.
Susan opened it up to find a piece of top quality sapphire inside.
She could not help frowning, "The gift is overly valuable, right?”
Isabelle appeared slightly embarrassed when she said, "Susie, the huge fuss createdst night
made the Leeds family consider our family their rejected customer. I’m here today not only to
apologize, but also to seek your help to plead for mercy for us."
Isabelle looked at Susan with a pleading expression.
Susan could see her earnestness so she said, "I will help plead for mercy on Yvonne''s behalf.
However, I won''t take the sapphire." "Susie, take it, take it. You have to take it. If you don''t take it,
father and mother will feel that I haven’t aplished my mission and I''ll get scolded.” Susan
sped her hands together and assumed a begging posture. 1
There was nothing Susan could do except to ept it. She invited Isabelle to stay for lunch
conveniently.
Isabelle epted the invitation at once.
When they were done discussing yesterday night''s incident, Susan and Isabelle chatted casually
while they sipped tea.
They did not keep in touch ever since Susan left the Shelby family. The topic of conversation was
naturally fixated on their childhood now that they were chatting.
Isabelle took a sip of tea and said smilingly, "Susan, I still remember that you had a boy that you
swore you were going to marry when you were young? What made you marry Julian Shaw
instead?"
