Chapter 60: Wanting To Kill Isabe
Chapter 60: Wanting to Kill Isabe
At this point, Emanuele once again found himself entertaining the thought of killing Isabe. Isabe
had an uncanny ability to sway his emotions, which he found unsettling. Being a Mafia boss,
Emanuele was well aware that he had to be ruthless. Even when faced with family members falling,
he couldn''t afford to shed a tear. He needed to remainposed and deal with their enemies
swiftly.
Their tough exterior was sufficient, but if their enemies ever caught wind of his emotional
vulnerabilities, it could easily lead to their downfall. They had often employed these tactics on their
own enemies. For example, when dealing with an adversary named Nicks Sims, they had
discovered his beloved woman and used her against him.
Nicks Sims seemed like a man ruled by his emotions. He had numerous femalepanions and
frequently visited nightclubs, engaged in promiscuity, never dating the same woman for more than a
week. It was evident that they wouldn''t make him shed a tear by killing his girlfriend. However, at
that time, they found a female friend in Nicks Sims'' life, and Emanuele quickly noticed that
Nicks Sims treated her differently.
So, they killed that woman in her apartment, left a message on her body, took photographs, and
sent them to Nicks Sims. Very soon, they witnessed the once stoic man reduced to tears, as
vulnerable as a baby.
Emanuele was fully aware of these methods to deal with enemies. He couldn''t afford to develop any
liking for Isabe; it would only lead to chaos. His protection of Isabe was solely due to her being
his stepsister. He didn''t want her to bring grief to his father and Sophia, and that was the extent of
his concern.
Emanuele dropped Isabe off at her upscale apartment and left. Despite her disrupted date with
Pippo today, the fact that she didn''t have to meet Chloe left Isabe feeling content.
The thought of Chloe, however, made her breathing growbored. In conjunction with the sd
Chloe had made for her, Isabe now felt nauseated. Isabe clutched her hands tightly, forcing
herself to remain calm. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she recalled the scene when
Emanuele had taken her to the dungeon tomit murder. She had even taken lives, so why
should she be afraid of Chloe, right?
She took a deep breath, assuring herself that she didn''t need to fear her. Just then, Chloe sent her
another message, "You coward, are you this scared of me? You don''t dare to meet me." Paired with
Chloe''s detestable face, these words disgusted Isabe.
Usually, when Isabe received such insulting messages from Chloe, she''d pretend not to notice
and delete them. But this time, she felt she couldn''t be so timid anymore. Isabe stared at the text
for a while and then retaliated, "Your face makes me sick. It''s better if we don''t meet."
After sending this message, Isabe suddenly felt incredibly relieved. She had done it. She had
really let Chloe have it. Soon, Chloe replied, "You w***e, have you gone crazy? You dare to curse at
me? Alright, watch me kill you."
"I''ll kill you if you dare toy a finger on me," Isabe shot back. Following that, she tossed her
phone aside, with no intention of continuing the argument with Chloe. But at this moment, she felt
extremely ted. It was as if the secrets that had been umting deep within her for many
years could finally be released.
Soon, Isabe received another piece of good news. There was a knock on the door, and Isabe
opened it. When she saw Harry''s handsome face, she couldn''t help but exim, "Oh my God!
Harry, you''re out of the hospital!"
It seemed a bit early for him to be discharged.
She immediately gave Harry a big hug, and it was evident that Harry had made a remarkable
recovery during his hospital stay; his body had be much stronger. Looking at Harry''s wound, it
had also healed.
After the assassination attempt, Isabe''s perception of these two bodyguards had shifted from
troublesome pests to friends. They wererades in life and death.
"Thank you, Miss Gould, for your continuous concern. I wouldn''t have recovered this quickly without
your care," Harry said with a beaming smile.
"Let''s not say that," Isabe replied. "Your body has only just healed. Why don''t you rest on the sofa
for a bit and watch some TV?" She turned on the television, ying a lighthearted variety show that
she had recently enjoyed and hoped Harry might like.
"No need, Miss Gould. Since I''m already back to work, it means my body haspletely recovered.
I can get right back into the working mode," Harry declined Isabe''s suggestion to watch TV, even
though he confessed he liked to watch the dancing beauties on the screen. But work had toe
first.
Isabe didn''t press Harry further, and she settled down on the couch, thoroughly enjoying her TV
show.
Meanwhile, her phone kept ringing. Tony walked over, picked up the phone, and asked, "Miss
Gould, your cousin is calling. Should I answer it?"
"Could you please disconnect it for me? Thanks," Isabe replied, clutching a pillow as she tucked
herself into the small couch.
"Sure," Tony responded, promptly ending the call.
On the other end of the line, Chloe was infuriated. She had sent messages to Isabe and received
no response. Now, Isabe had gone as far as hanging up on her call, and this drove Chloe to the
brink of madness.
Isabe was acting too audaciously. It was as if she had turned the tables on her to this extent. This
greatly angered Chloe, and she wished she could just run over and beat that wretched girl.
But Chloe had to calm herself. She had just been kicked out of the top-tier apartment by Emanuele,
and she didn''t want to provoke him any further by acting recklessly. He might even have her two
bodyguards throw her out.
Unfortunately, she had promised to return home from Chicago after just a week, and now she only
had a couple of days left. With Isabe refusing to see her, it seemed impossible for her to visit
Isabe herself.
Or maybe it wasn''t entirely impossible. One day, as Isabe left work and stepped out of the
hospital, she ran into Chloe. While she could boldly exchange harsh words with Chloe through her
phone, facing Chloe''s face in real life, the painful memories of the past came rushing back, making
her nervous and frightened.
"Isabe, you''re quite bold to dare to insult me," Chloe approached Isabe, reaching out to pat her
cheek. At this moment, she wore a smiling face, but her eyes were icy.
Isabe was afraid to meet Chloe''s gaze and the fear made her body tremble.
It seemed she hadn''t been able to break free from Chloe''s control in reality. In this confrontation in
the real world, she was still at a disadvantage.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
