Chapter 647: Descending into Darkness
Lisa had even said that whenever Isabe spent all the money, he would deposit more into the
ount, urging her to buy without any psychological burden.
Lisa had also mentioned that any subsidiarypanies under the Dawn Group that Isabe was
interested in could be given to her.
Furthermore, Lisa had promised to apany Isabe wherever she wanted to go or whatever she
wanted to do.
It had been from that moment that Lisa had be different!
Because on the same day, Cecilia had asked Lisa to apany her shopping, Lisa had imed to be
busy but immediately told Isabe these things…
Lisa had given Cecilia mainly amounted to a few hundred thousand, with some small gifts worth a few
million only given on her birthday or during New Year.
But Cecilia had never received such an expensive four-leaf clover ne throughout her life!
Yet Isabe had received this precious ne and seventeen additional priceless gifts from Lisa!
Lisa had exined that because he had missed out on Isabe’s first seventeen years of life, he
wanted to make up for it with seventeen gifts, but he would make up for the lost time in the future…
From that moment, Lisa started to change, right?
Cecilia remembered when Lisa had bought Isabe an entire set of limited-edition lipsticks, iming
they were for Isabe to use at work. When Cecilia had yfullyined that Lisa was being
partial, Lisa had even told Cecilia that she didn’t need those lipsticks.
Those lipsticks would have been perfect for Cecilia when she attended banquets or performed on
stage…
But Lisa had shown such tant favoritism!
There had not just been one or two incidents like this….
In the past, she had been naive and hadn’t paid much attention…
But now, looking back, these incidents felt like arrows piercing her heart one after another…
How had she not noticed it? How had she not seen that Lisa had changed?
He had be partial, cold, and indifferent!
A long time ago, when their family had visited their grandparents in the hospital, Lisa had warmly put
his arm around Isabe’s shoulder and had spoken to her…
When Cecilia had tried to hold Lisa’s hand, Lisa had asked her to let go…
The difference in treatment had been so evident!
And at the hospital, Lisa had mentioned that when Isabe got busier with college in the future, n
would handle the trivial matters of the fashionpany, and Isabe could remotely make decisions on
important issues. Even if Isabe didn’t go to work, she would still receive her monthly sry…
Scarlet had only been able to offer tissues and had waited until Cecilia had cried enough before wiping
away her tears.
“Scarlet…” Cecilia had raised her swollen eyes and had asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you remember
when Lisa took me to the observation deck for a chat a long time ago…”
“Remember? Of course, I remember,” Scarlet said as she wiped away Cecilia’s tears. “Mr Lisa said, ‘It
was normal for everyone to be concerned about Isabe’s feelings when she had just returned home. It
might have made you think that everyone had changed towards you, but in the eyes of all the family
members, you were still a part of this family and had never changed.”
Cecilia hadn’t expected Scarlet to remember so clearly. Her tears fell again, realizing how foolish she
had been to believe everything Lisa had said…
Now, it all seemed so naive, too naive!
“At that time, Mr Lisa also asked how the famiy had treated you all those years. He said everything
given to Isabe was what you had owned in the past eighteen years! He said that this was Isabe’s
home, and she had every right toe back and enjoy the life that belonged to her,” Scarlet continued.
After hearing this, Cecilia’s tears fell, and she smiled bitterly.
“He also said that Isabe was the biological daughter, so they should treat her well. As a older brother,
he should pamper and cherish her, especially considering the hardships she had endured outside for
eighteen years. Her future life should bepensated even more… At that time, you had tried to
exin that you had no animosity towards Isabe, but Mr Lisa had bluntly said he could tell if you had
hate and how much you hated,” Scarlet continued.
Cecilia’s smile became more bitter and filled with sadness.
Yes, from that moment, Lisa had stopped believing in her, had stopped listening to her exnations,
and had only epted what he saw with his own eyes.
“Mr Lisa had even lied to you, saying that even if Isabe returned to this home, the emotions you had
shared for the past eighteen years were not fake. You could still stay and buy whatever you wanted, do
whatever you wanted. Nobody would restrict you or treat you differently,” Scarlet continued.
Ceciliaughed until tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Mr Lisa had also said that Isabe had no animosity towards you. Sometimes you acted unreasonably
at first, but Isabe always amodated you. You should be happy to have Isa… He also said that
Isabe had epted you before other families. Have you ever thought about your fate if she had
firmly rejected you from the beginning?” Scarlet added fuel to the fire as she spoke.
Ceciliaughed heartbreakingly before saying, “Scarlet, back then, you had told me that Lisa was
indirectly warning me that if I didn’t get along well with Isabe, I would have to leave this home… At
that time, I hadn’t believed your words and had even thought Lisa was right… I was being foolish!”
At that time, she had even doubted herself, believing that this home didn’t belong to her. The love from
Families, the luxurious life, and the servants attending to her, none of it had belonged to her. She had
thought she had taken over Isabe’s life for eighteen years…
But now, thinking about it, Scarlet’s words made sense. Their parents’ confusion led to the mix-up of
their identities. How could she have med herself? She had also lost the life of being pampered by
her biological parents for eighteen years. She had suffered a loss too!
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t listen to your words… I had thought that treating Isabe as my Family would
make them treat me the same as before…”
