MainNovelChapter 1336:
Isabella pulled back. “I'll speak with her.”
“Isabella, you're my child. Don’t abandonin this place. Takein; | can’t remain with your mother any
longer. She has drained my savings and signed the house over to herself. Helpreclaim everything, and when
| pass, it will all belong to you...”
Alec muttered brokenly, his voice tangled with sobs. He kept repeating himself, but Isabella couldn’t piece
together his meaning, no matter how hard she tried. Leaning closer, Isabella furrowed her brow, straining to
catch his words. “I can’t understand what you're saying.”
Alec's frustration grew. Though his body was unresponsive, his mind remained sharp. He was painfully aware
that he had no way to step outside, no means to seek help, and no chance to expose Ruby’s cruelty. His only
hope lay in the rare visits from others.
Today, Isabella had come, and he clung to the chance of persuading her to act, to somehow change his situation.
Should she take pity, maybe she would agree to let him move in with her, and his days might finally improve.
He pushed himself to form the words clearly. In his own mind, everything was precise, but to others, it cout
garbled and incomprehensible. He kept repeating himself, yet Isabella still couldn't understand him. Ruby, on the
other hand, understood him. She had already anticipated Alec's complaints and had tried to prevent Isabella
from entering his room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe feared that once Isabella saw Alec’s current state, she would lose her temper, lash out, and blher for
not treating him well.
Ruby studied Isabella's face nervously, bracing herself for harsh words, yet none came. She noticed Isabella's
expression—disgust was written across her features, and there was no anger or sympathy for Alec. When Alec
stretched out his hand toward her, Isabella even moved away.
Only then did Ruby feel the tension ease from her chest. She tapped Alec’s hand with a clothes hanger. “Keep
your hand away!”
“He’s hittingagain! Isabella, look...” Alec lifted a trembling finger at Ruby, crying out once more, “Isabella...”
His tears carried the weight of deep grievance. Isabella regarded him with a detached expression, pulled out her
phone, snapped several photos of him, and sent them to Brenna.
She recalled how Ruby had spoken countless times about Alec mistreating Brenna when she had been a kid, and
about her own cruelty toward Brenna. Back then,
Isabella had once pitied Brenna, but Ruby had recounted those memories with ease, without the faintest hint of
regret, even claiming she hadn't gone far enough. Now, Isabella wondered if Brenna might take satisfaction in
seeing Alec reduced to his current state.
“Stop yelling,” Isabella said to Alec, forwarding the pictures before slipping her phone back into her bag with
irritation.
At first, Alec had believed Isabella was taking the photos to expose Ruby, but it soon becclear that wasn’t
her intention.
“Isabella, don't forget I'm your father. You shouldn't treatthis way. Getout of here, letlive with you,
and I'll leave the house to you. Helpsue your mother...”
Isabella waved her hand in front of her nose. “It reeks in here. I'm leaving.” She turned without hesitation.
