novelxo Chapter 241 Selfishness
Chapter 241 Selfishness Just because she didn't love him, Osvaldo conspired with Selena to hurt her so that she would regret and start to care about him? Isabel sneered. If Osvaldo had been right before her, she would have told him that Osvaldo was the last man she would marry in the world.
She would never take a fancy to Osvaldo, ever.
Suddenly, a knock broke in on her supercilious thoughts.
Isabel hid behind Christ like a frightened bird. It stood to reason as too many things had happened to her lately.
This knock could bring another news about her.
Osvaldo could go to any length to destroy her.
Isabel knew very well what she herself had done. Now the fact that Michelle's secret was revealed by Osvaldo had brought her a sense of crisis. Her confidence and arrogance had then gone.
So far, she couldn't figure out how many things they had found out about her.
If the people outside the door came here for the. The consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.
She couldn't help shivering at the thought of it.
Christ gave her a glance and uttered, "Come in." A security guard pushed the door open. Seeing the people behind the security guard, Isabel shuddered with fear.
She dodged behind Christ, her eyes filled with fear.
"Christ." Christ patted her shoulder consolingly.
Several policemen walked in. The policeman in the lead with a serious face came towards Isabel with handcuffs in his hand, coldly speaking, "Mr. Poole, we have received many reports that Miss Collins has a contract on someone. We've got solid evidence. We have to take her away!" Isabel cowered in fear.
The video, solid evidence of her evil deeds, was there. There was no way for her to defend herself. Even with Christ by her side, she could not deny the charge.
Christ gave a cold smile, "Brody, are you really going to take her away?" Brody's gaze was deep and sharp. "Mr. Poole, this is my duty as a police officer. Miss Collins has committed a crime. Everyone in Creephia is waiting for us to take action. If you still insist on protecting her like you did last time, then don't blame us for what we are going to do!" Christ snorted. He turned to Isabel and said, "You go first. I'll pick you up and bring you back soon." After all, the evidence was overwhelming and it had become public knowledge. He needed some time to deal with the so-called victims.
Isabel, however, did not know what Christ was thinking, and her first thought when she heard these words was that Christ didn't care about her anymore and let her go to jail.
She panicked, "No, Christ!" Seeing Christ's impassive face, Isabel lost her senses and even roared in a shrill voice, "You don't want me anymore because you've got that woman, do you?" It was all because of Selena! How damnable Selena was! Her words instantly angered all of Christ's men.
They all looked at Isabel with a cold and hateful look.
Everyone with reason knew that Christ would not leave her alone.
At this time, if Isabel could understand Christ, she should go herself and not make things too difficult for him.
After all, they were in Creephia, which was Osvaldo and Luke's territory, not Christ's. If Christ wanted to save her, he couldn't do it the hard way.
But Isabel was obviously selfish to the extreme.
Or maybe it was because Christ had pampered her in the past that she got mad easily if Christ didn't help her timely.
How could a person like her, who only held grudges and showed no gratitude, be worthy of being protected by Christ? Seeing Christ's face sink and felt the way the others looked at her, Isabel finally realized that she had said something wrong.
She shook her head in a panic, tears streaming down her face, "No, Christ, I didn't mean that. I was just scared.” There was grimness in Christ's eyes. She ignored the policemen and took out the red chalcedony around her neck, tears welling up as she lowered her eyes, "Christ, you said that you would always protect me. I grew up without any real family to defend me.
I'm just afraid that I would lose you." When Christ took a look at the red chalcedony, his attitude softened and the grimness in his eyes faded slightly.
He leaned forward, touched the red chalcedony, and looked at Isabel, "Go with them. You will understand me, right?" With tears in her eyes, Isabel shivered and immediately nodded, "Yes, I will. I believe you will protect me." She didn't dare to say more as she was marched away by the police with handcuffs around her wrists.
Christ turned a blind eye to her eager eyes. He smoked a cigarette after Isabel was taken away and smiled coldly, "Keep an eye on Selena!" Osvaldo had let Isabel suffer so hard. He would not let Osvaldo 's woman off, even for the sake of saving his face.
"Yes!" After having lunch, Osvaldo personally sent Selena back to the Olympus Group.
The two of them said goodbye, and Selena returned to the filming set and went to see Hattie.
Hattie had had lunch with Luke strictly according to what Selena had said, and then went to take a nap. Now she had woken up and arrived on time to rehearse a play on the set.
After Selena watched carefully to make sure everything was fine, she walked to her exclusive seat and sat down.
Leia scampered over and said gleefully, "Isabel has been arrested by the police. Madame, we should take the opportunity to kill her!" Isabel was so annoying. She should have disappeared earlier.
However, Selena was unhurried. She smiled, "There's no hurry." Leia didn't know what Selena was thinking. As she still had to deal with Isabel, she asked, "So Madame, should we pass the news of her selling drugs to the police station now?" These words were plain implication to Selena that Attract to Love was indeed Osvaldo's territory.
Selena shook his head, "Wait a little longer." This scandal was overwhelming. But with Osvaldo helping her, the man behind Isabel could not suppress it.
But as of now, Christ hadn't even really taken action.
In Creephia, he might not be able to get Osvaldo to let Isabel go, but he had the power to make the victims choose a private settlement. Legally speaking, no one could really do anything to Isabel in the end.
The evidence in her hand could destroy Isabel, and more importantly, could drag Christ into this trouble! So it was not time to bring it out yet.
After all, a petty personal vendetta was a different matter from damaging national interests.
Once Christ was dragged into it, his entire family would probably be targeted.
She would like to see how that man would go about defending and condoning Isabel's evil deeds when his family was affected.
Leia didn't know what Selena was thinking.
