Chapter 177
What was Charlie doing here?
This thought shed through Isabe’s mind, and she covered her mouth in grief Immediately.
She looked at Monica in disbelief and said, ‘Ms. Lynn! The physician clearly said that you can’t press
this red button. But how could you…
Monica’s hand was still on the red button.
Monica withdrew her hand in a hurry and red at Isabe. “I didn’t press it!”
“Ms. Lynn! Everyone has seen it. How can you not admit it?” Isabe choked with sobs. “By pressing
this button, you made sure that Penelope will stay a vegetable for the rest of her life. I can understand
that you don’t want to take responsibility, but it’s your fault. You can’t deny it.”
As Isabe spoke, she looked at Leo in pain. “Leo! It’s my fault. I knew Ms. Lynn has always been
careful, but I still let her get so close to the machine. Now, Penelope… may never wake up.”
As she spoke, Isabe began crying bitterly again.
“Isabe, you’re lying!” Monica screamed. “You grabbed my hand and pressed it down on the button!
You did it on purpose! You framed me.”
Isabe looked at her with tears in her eyes. “I have nothing against you. Why should I frame you
deliberately?”
“How would I know what’s wrong with you?” Monica was about to go crazy. She looked at Ben in a
hurry and said,
“Ben, it’s her. It’s really her…”
The moment Monica saw Ben’s face, she was stunned.
Ben seemed… too calm.
It was as if he hadn’t seen the dispute in the ward at all.
As for Charlie and Leo, they were both looking at Isabe with an extremelyplicated look in their
eyes.
What was going on?
Monica stopped defending herself subconsciously.
Isabe cried for a while longer and looked up. Suddenly, the ward fell silent.
She looked in Leo’s direction tearfully.

With Leo’s personality, he should beforting her in a hurry now.
However, Leo hadn’t done so.
On the contrary, the way he looked at her was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, he looked
frightened as if he was looking at an evil spirit.
Isabe’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling about this.
Something must have happened that she didn’t know about.
What could it be?
“Isabe!” Leo couldn’t hold back any longer and questioned, “Why… Why did you press this red button
on purpose?”
Isabe’s mind was in a mess, and she defended herself subconsciously. “I… I didn’t. Leo, how can
you believe Ms. Lynn’s words? It’s obvious that she was careless, so she…”
“Enough” Charlie looked at her indifferently. “Isabe, we watched a live broadcast in the past few
minutes. Guess
what we
saw?”
Isabe’s body stiffened immediately.
She looked at Leo in disbelief. “You…”
Leo said with a pained expression on his face, “Ben took me to the ward next door and we saw
everything that happened in this ward live! Isabe, I really didn’t expect you to do such a thing.
Although my mother is mean to you, it doesn’t mean that you would have to kill her, does it?”
Isabe’s lips turned pale immediately
This kind of intensive care unit was usually guarded 24 hours a day. For the sake of privacy, there were
no cameras
or equipment.
This was the reason why she acted so boldly.
If everything went well, Monica would be able to take the me just like Susan did.“It would
be.impossible for her to marry into the Landor family then.
But…
There was actually a surveince camera in this ward.
Moreover, the three members of the Landor family were just next door, watching the whole thing live.
Isabe’s lips trembled.

So what if she had a glib tongue?
She couldn’t talk her way out of this in front of such solid proof.
“You saw everything?” Monica’s face lit up with joy. “Well, now it proves my innocence!”
Then, she turned to look at Isabe gloatingly. “Let’s see how you can frame me now.”
Isabe looked at Ben and then at Charlie. In the end, she turned her tearful eyes on Leo and said,
“Leo, I…”
“Shut up.” Leo took a step back somewhat cautiously.
It was not that he loved Penelope.
It was just that if Isabe could treat Penelope like this today, there was no guarantee that she might
not be able to do the same to him in the future.
“Grandpa, I… I made a mistake out of confusion.” Isabe turned to Charlie then. She cried and said, “I
saved your life before. I am a kind person.”
Charlie looked at her. He looked older than he ever did now.
“You were confused?” Ben said expressionlessly, “I think you were just pulling the same trick again.”
The same trick?
Isabe’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to say, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ben raised an eyebrow. “Really? Didn’t you plot against Susan like this a few days ago?”
The expression on Charlie’s face changed suddenly. He looked at Ben and asked, “Do you mean that
Susan…”
“Susan was framed,” Ben said firmly.
Isabe panicked and said in a hurry, ‘I admit that I made a mistake this time! But what happened
before was indeed Susan’s doing. It has nothing to do with me. In order to protect Penelope, I even lost
my baby. I swear on it.”
Leo frowned too and said, “She has a point, Ben. That is another matter. You can’t just me Isabe
for everything.”
eart so
He thought of the baby Isabe lost and his heart softened for a moment.
Isabe had lost her baby in order to protect Penelope. How could she harm Penelope on purpose? It
was said that seeing was not necessarily believing. Could there be any other reason for what
happened today?
Ben nced at him and said lightly, “What if this baby never existed from the very beginning?”

“How could that be? Ben, you must be joking,” Leo said.
However, Isabe’s heart skipped a beat: She grew increasingly uneasy.
Ben raised a hand.
A few people were brought in.
Seeing these people, Isabe’s legs felt weak all of a sudden.
‘Let me introduce you,” Ben said with an expressionless look on his face, “This is Isabe’s physician,
and he’s the one who issued the report of her pregnancy. Before writing the report, he received a
payment of 20 thousand dors from Isabe.
“This is the owner of a pharmacy. Isabe purchased a medicine from him that would cause short–term
bleeding. which is a sign of miscarriage. At the same time, I’ve also discovered that she has also
bought a medicine rted to blood pressure in this pharmacy before. This kind of medicine would
make someone have a heart attack immediately if that someone shows the tendency of having one.”
Ben looked at Charlie and said, “Grandpa, this is how she saved your life.”
Charlie looked even more tired.
“Lastly, let me introduce you to this man here,” Ben said indifferently, “This is the physician who nursed
Isabe from her miscarriage. The day before Penelope’s ident, he received a payment of 20
thousand dors from Isabe. Tell me, how did Isabe know in advance that she would have a
miscarriage?”
The more Ben went on with his introductions, the uglier the expression on Isabe’s face became.
In the end, she copsed on the bed, unable to utter a single word.
Leo looked at the group of people and then at Isabe. A trace of disbelief shed across his eyes.
“Were you… really pregnant??”
Ben replied in disdain, “Why don’t you ask these people instead of her.”

Leo’s face also turned pale.
He really loved Isabe. Otherwise, he would not have married her as soon as he heard that she was
pregnant.
But it turned out that she was only faking her pregnancy.
So it was all a scam?
“Miss Smith, what else do you have to say now?” Ben looked at Isabe.
I
Isabe gritted her teeth and said, “I… I admit that I was never pregnant, and the miscarriage was fake
too. But I

didn’t push Penelope. It was all Susan’s fault!”
The look on Ben’s face only became more disdainful.
