Chapter 2355

Isabelle shook her head. “Mikayla, don’t set up this kind of thing for me anymore. I don’t like it.”

Mikayla scolded, “That won’t do. This task was something Zion asked me to handle. Besides, our families are so close. I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Isabelle took a deep breath and suddenly said, “Fine, you can introduce me. But could you stop sending that kind of disgusting trash from your family to meet me again?”

Mikayla froze. She never expected Isabelle’s attitude was not casual indifference, but flat-out disdain. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Finally, Mikayla gave a bitter smile and said, “Belle, don’t take it to heart. If you don’t like people from my family, then I won’t introduce them to you anymore. But I need to remind you, you’re getting too close to Andrew, and that’s not good.”

Isabelle nodded lightly and said, “I know.”

Mikayla frowned and asked, “Belle, are you brushing me off? Do you think I’m wrong?”

Isabelle sighed and said, “Mikayla, why can’t you stop bringing up Andrew? I know you don’t get along with him and that you resent him, but you don’t have to drag his name in out of nowhere. Whatever relationship I have with him doesn’t affect you.”

She continued, “You used to not be such a petty person.”

Mikayla’s temper flared as she snapped, “You’re calling me petty? Belle, everything I say is for your own good. I’m just afraid you’ll end up making the wrong choices.”

She huffed and went on, “Fine, fine, if you don’t appreciate my concern, then I won’t say anything again. Just remember, don’t come crying to me when you regret it later. I’m telling you, Andrew has serious character issues.

“Not only that, but in Chetvine, nobody really likes him. You’re the Robertson family’s little princess, yet you choose to entertain him. Belle, don’t you think you’re lowering yourself?”

Isabelle’s delicate brows drew together, and she lifted her chin to stare at Mikayla with sudden sharpness. “Mikayla, you’d better have proof for what you’re saying. How exactly is Andrew such a terrible person? Did he harass you? Did he pester you? Did he gossip about you behind your back?

“In fact, it’s been you who keeps badmouthing him nonstop. I know what you’re really after. You only care that I’m close to him, because that means your Owens family won’t benefit.

“You want to control me, to keep me under your thumb, so you can keep using my Robertson family connections and resources. But Mikayla, did it ever occur to you that just because I’m not flashy, that doesn’t mean I’m stupid?”

She hissed, “You really think I can’t see through your little schemes? The only reason I kept quiet was because we’re friends, and I respect you for being a woman who’s accomplished so much. But just because I never spoke up doesn’t mean you can keep pushing me.”

She added, “Like just now. Why did you try to introduce me to one of the Owens family’s losers? You know I’m the Robertson family’s little princess. What does Zayden even count as? What makes him worthy of meeting me?

“Didn’t you notice that disgusting look in his eyes? He couldn’t stop staring at my legs. Mikayla, do you think I’m that easy to deal with? That I won’t have a temper?”

Mikayla fell completely silent. She was struck speechless, staring at Isabelle as if seeing her for the very first time. She never imagined this quiet girl would be so sharp, catching every detail and seeing straight through her own intentions.
