Chapter 4: There Was No Need for a Reason to Defend for Her


    A cold light reappeared in Ernest’s eyes when he saw the strange man in the photo. He then extended


    his hand and took the photo over. Isabel was delighted and she quickly said, “I certainly do not have


    the balls to lie to you, Mr. Hawkins. This photo is definitely real, they…” Without even finishing, her


    words had all stuck in her throat when she saw what he was doing next. Ernest was tearing the photo


    into pieces deftly with his pale and slim fingers. With an indifferent look, he let out a grim smile. “I can


    see you have the balls to defile my fiancée’s innocence.”


    Everyone was shocked. They did not expect him to be willing to go to great lengths to protect Florence


    and he had made his conclusion without even checking the photo. Who would dare to talk about that


    matter any further after he had said such a thing? They all gazed at Florence with awe instead of


    judgmental look. Florence stared at Ernest in a daze and felt her heart warmed. She then realized the


    feeling of being protected by someone with no reason was that warm and moving.

    “M, Mr. Hawkins…” Isabel was dumbfounded with her eyes widened and mouth agape. She would not


    have expected him to do that no matter how. Was it because he trusted Florence or he did not care for


    what happened to her at all? Ernest threw the pieces casually and looked at her with contempt, as if he


    was looking at a clown. He then gave out his order icily. “Timothy, take her away.”


    “Yes, sir.” Timothy immediately walked towards Isabel. Isabel was so frightened that her legs became


    weak. She quickly hid behind Grayson in panic. “Grayson, save me, now.” She could not dare imagine


    what her consequence would be if she was taken away by Ernest’s man. Grayson was pulling a long


    face as he was mad that Isabel actually offended Ernest without knowing their great difference in


    power, yet he still apologized to Ernest sincerely. “Mr. Hawkins, I’m really sorry. Isabel’s been reckless


    in her words and offended Ms. Fraser. She has known her mistake. Could you let Isabel off this one


    time for the sake of the rtionship between our families?”


    Ernest sneered. “Are you telling me to deal with the Russell family too?” Grayson was shocked and his


    blood curdled due to fear. Ernest was renowned for being cruel and merciless in his doings. He had


    nothing to fear, and he would never go against his words when he said something. He wiped his cold


    sweats off and said, “Please forgive me, Mr. Hawkins. I’ve been quite a big mouth. Although Isabel is


    my wife, she’s made a mistake, and she should receive the punishment. The Russell family would not


    say another word.”


    Isabel stared at Grayson in disbelief. She was gradually filled with disappointment from head to toes.


    Her husband was actually that determined to give her up. Timothy had seen a lot of selfish men that


    bullied the weak and feared the strong like Grayson. He let out a mocking smile, went forward and


    grabbed Isabel’s arm. “Let’s go, Ms. Hopkins.”


    “Let me go! I’m the daughter of the Hopkins’ family. You can’t do this to me.” Isabel was horrified and


    no longer caring for her image, she started to struggle and fight with Timothy, yet her strength were


    definitely no match against a well-trained man’s. Having realized she was going to be taken away,


    Isabel shot Florence a loathsome re amidst despair.


    “Florence, don’t you think you could get away the fact that you’ve gotten a room with another man


    when I’ve been taken away! You’ve cuckolded Ernest Hawkins with your inappropriate behavior before


    marriage and everyone would know about this sooner orter.” Isabel’s shrill echoed in the main hall


    and had attracted more and more attention. Florence looked at her in disgust and wondered how


    stubborn she was that she still wanted to ruin her reputation when she herself was in trouble.


    “Nonsense! Flory did not get a room with Tobias at all, and it was all nned by you.” Phoebe Jenkins


    walked in through the main entrance in a huff. She handed a stack of photos and documents to Ernest


    courteously. “Mr. Hawkins, this is what I’ve found. Isabel Hopkins had brought Flory to the Style Hotel


    when she was drunk that night and she handed Flory to Tobias who has already waited there.


    That was a nned conspiracy! But don’t you worry, although Flory was drunk, she managed to injure


    Tobias and escaped. I’ve fetched her near the lift and I promise she had gone home safe and sound.”


    Phoebe secretly winked at Florence after she finished. She had kept on investigating the matter that


    night for her and luckily she was able to make it on time.


    Florence’s mind went nk. It was then she knew why would she show up at the Style Hotel and had


    experienced that kind of horrifying incident. It turned out everything happened because of Isabel!


    Isabel’s face went pale and she argued with guilt. “No, it’s not true. I was only being kind to let her rest


    in the hotel, it’s her who wanted to go with Tobias.” No one listened to her unconvincing arguments and


    there were more and more disgusted look tossed towards her.


    Although Ernest had defended for Florence back then, he did not seem to believe in her. Knowing that


    she was innocent by looking at the photos now, his impression of her became slightly better. He raised


    his hand and handed the photos and documents to Florence and asked, “How do you want to deal with


    her?”


    Ernest was asking for her opinion? Florence was ttered and she felt good having the support of an


    honorable person. Watching Isabel who was still reluctant to fix her mistakes, she did not intend to let


    her off easily. After having some thought, she then spoke, “Send her to the police.”


    Isabel’s face went cadaverous when she heard that and she howled. “No, I can’t go to jail. My


    marriage, and my reputation would all be ruined. Florence, you can’t do this to me!” Feeling amused,


    Florence replied, “You won’t have to suffer this if you don’t set tricks on me in the first ce. You


    deserve it.”


    “No, it’s not true. It’s you, it’s all because of you.” Isabel went delirious due to panic. She jumped and


    wanted to pound on Florence but was held back by Timothy. He dragged her out of the hall like


    dragging abandoned garbage. The policemen who were patrolling nearby came just in time and they


    took Isabel over from him, putting handcuffs on her. “Let me go!” Isabel struggled and screamed in


    terror. Her hair and makeup were all ruined and she looked like an unkempt shrew.


    Grayson did not look good at all. He felt that he hadpletely lost his dignity. His bride was taken


    away by the police at the scene and he was afraid that his wedding would be the biggest joke in


    the upper ss society. He then looked at Florence who used to be disliked by his family now holding


    City N’s most powerful man’s arm at the moment. She was so dazzling and graceful that he could not


    come close to her. He felt empty not knowing why and actually had a strong thought to get Florence


    back.
