CHAPTER 318
How nice would it be if everything was back to those days? Isabel thought.
Isabel would still be that prestigious young lady of the Taylor Family who could get everything she wanted and be admired by everyone. Not like the loser that she was now. She had even changed her last name, and her biological father and two brothers who once loved her the most had all abandoned her.
Everything that Angie said was what Isabel dreamed of, so she was tempted by her words. Without much hesitation, she did what Angie suggested.
Angie said that everything would come to an end if Madeline and her two children died. She just needed to do things secretly, and let the police arrest the driver that hit Madeline and her two children. In the end, the police would not even find out it was her.
Isabel thought so too, and that driver was also introduced by Angie.
Angie told her that the driver had some skeletons in the closet, and he did not wish to live any longer since a long time ago. His mother was seriously ill, so he wanted to exchange his own life for his mother's medical expenses before he died. If she paid him enough, he would take responsibility for everything.
And no one would ever know that Isabel was a part of Madeline and her two children's deaths.
However, it was totally out of her expectation that Angie would lie to her. The police had found her right away.
She had just met the driver once when she paid him, but the police had already gotten the evidence to charge her with murder!
And did Angie not say that the driver wanted to die a long time ago, and that if she paid enough money, she could stay out of this mess and this incident would have nothing to do with her? So, why did that driver secretly record their conversation?
Now, that voice recording had become the proof for the police to arrest her and charge her, and she might even be sentenced to death!
Isabel was totally deceived by Angie! Angie was so sure and promised her that she just needed to pay the money and she would not have to worry about anything else. But now, the reality was totally different.
The idea was suggested by Angie, but she was the one imprisoned by the police!
While sobbing, Isabel told Sam everything and shouted in anger, "Angie did all this to me! She should be the one in here, and not me! Quickly get me out of here, Sam!"
Hearing that, Sam looked at her in silence and did not say a word for a long while as he did not know what to say anymore.
At this moment, he was even feeling a little grateful; grateful that his father found out about Phoebe and Bryan's conspiracy and was not taking Isabel as his daughter anymore. With that, his feelings for Isabel faded as well.
Otherwise, how upset would he feel when he found out that his beloved sister was this foolish? Luckily, his feelings for Isabel were not like those days anymore.
The reason he was still willing to meet her now was just that he was too soft-hearted and sentimental. He just could not bear to not come and see her.
As for his sibling's love for her—there was already not much left.
When Isabel saw that he was not saying anything, she asked in panic, "Why are you not talking? I've already told you the truth. I did this because Angie asked me to. She's the mastermind! Ask the police to arrest her and get me out of here!"
Hearing that, Sam sighed in resignation. "So, you're saying that you did all of this because Angie asked you to?"
"Yes. It's her!" Isabel quickly nodded. "She suggested the idea, and she's the one who introduced the driver to me too! She thought everything out. It has nothing to do with me!"
Just then, he asked, "Where's the proof? Do you have any proof?"
She was stunned. Proof? When Angie was telling her those things, there were only two of them in the room. So, from where could she find the proof?
"What about the money that you paid the driver?" He continued to ask. "Is that money yours or Angie's?"
"It's mine, but that's because Angie asked me to pay!" Isabel was so anxious that her face was turningContent is property © .
red. "Believe me, Sam. She introduced the driver to me, and she also told me that I just needed to spend some money to let Madeline and her two children die! She was the one who suggested everything! It was her idea!"
"How can you prove that everything you said is the truth, and not a frame job?" Sam said. "The police need proof to investigate a case, and not just believe whatever you say. Also, it'll be of no use even when you have the proof. It will only mean that Angie is your accomplice. You still can't get away with it because you're the one who met the driver and paid him. No matter what, you won't be able to get away with it."
"N-No way…" she cried frantically while she spoke. "I only wanted Madeline and her two children to die because of what Angie told me. She was the one who introduced the driver to me too! If it were not for her, where would I find someone that was willing to kill Madeline? She did everything! I'm innocent!"
At this moment, he was even feeling a little grateful; grateful that his father found out about Phoebe and Bryan's conspiracy and was not taking Isabel as his daughter anymore. With that, his feelings for Isabel faded as well.
At this moment, he could only look at her in disappointment. He could not believe that his biological sister could be this foolish. How could someone be this foolish? Phoebe was a fool, and now her daughter too. Does foolishness run in the genes of the Xavier Family?
He had never been this exhausted before. After looking at her in resignation for some time, he then explained, "Isabel, don't you get it? You've been used by Angie! You're not the only one who hates Maddie. Angie hates her too! Because of Maddie's presence, she has lost her status as the young lady of the Wendel Family, forcing her to leave the Wendel Residence. I heard that she was even forced by Luke to jump out of a building and broke her leg. She only recovered after a few months. I'm afraid that
she hates Maddie more than you. But, she's smarter than you…"
While shaking his head, he sighed resignedly. "Even though she hates Maddie, she is still afraid of the law and doesn't want to be put behind bars, so she didn't dare do anything to Maddie. So when she met you, she instigated you to do the dirty work for her that she didn't dare to do."
As he said that, he could not help but feel grateful again that Isabel was no longer his beloved sister. If his brother was this foolish, he would be tearing his hair out.
Even though Isabel was dumb, she could still understand his words. Otherwise, she would be considered an idiot if she still could not comprehend the situation after Sam's clear explanation on the matter.
But since she understood, she was immediately enraged. She slammed the table and cried, "So, Angie tricked me! Why would she do this to me? Since I was young, I've always shared the good stuff with her. I've treated her like my bestie! Why does she want to hurt me?"
Sam could not answer her question. One could only find out who truly held their best interest at heart and who did not when they were going through tough times in life.
Previously, he thought that even though Isabel was spoiled and wayward, she was not a bad person. But, that was far from the truth. Not only was she spoiled and unreasonable, she was ruthless too.
Likewise, he thought that Angie was a kind young lady, who was delicate and naive. But from what he knew now, she was actually a ruthless and devious femme fatale.
