Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 426

He waved the report in his hand. "You don't have to go to such great lengths just to get a divorce."

"I've already agreed to it with Isabel, and I'm trying to make amends." He looked at Mr. Ashford. "You lost your own daughter, so don't be so eager to play dad to someone else's. You're not qualified to lecture me on Isabel's behalf."

"Adrian." Isabel asked her parents and Julian to go inside, leaving her alone with Adrian in the yard.

The people in the house couldn't hear what Isabel was saying, but they could see the dramatic shifts in Adrian's expression.

Julian recorded the entire moment with his phone.

He planned to hold this over Adrian for the rest of his life.

If Adrian ever wanted to make up for his mistakes and win Isabel back, he'd have to get past her older brother first.

"No…"

In the yard, Adrian was visibly panicking. "How could you possibly be…"

But thinking back on Mrs. Jiang's attitude, it did seem unlikely she was Isabel's birth mother.

Though she appeared to treat Isabel well, her own motives always came first.

For instance, pushing Isabel to marry him.

It wasn't about fulfilling Isabel's wishes; it was just a convenient coincidence that served her own revenge plot.

"Are you really…"

"I really am." Isabel snatched the report back from his hand. "When your older sister came to do the DNA test before, the report showed I was related to Mr. and Mrs. Ashford. I was on medication at the time, which skewed the results, but it still detected a parental match. Tell me, what is that if not a bond of blood?"

Adrian's face turned grim, his lips pressed into a thin, bloodless line.

He thought about his behavior just moments ago…

He hadn't even won his wife back, and now he had deeply offended his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

As someone born with everything, he had never had to bow his head to anyone.

Except now, for Isabel.

Things were already a mess, and now they were even messier.

Mr. Ashford and Miles rushed out instantly, flanking Isabel protectively.

Miles shoved him. "I wasn't sure if she was my cousin before, but now that I am, I'll die before I let you bully her again."

"I'm not!" Adrian took a sharp breath. "I just wanted to talk to her for a little longer."

"Just now, I…" He looked at Mr. Ashford. "I'm sorry, Dad."

"Who's your dad?" Mr. Ashford was even angrier now. "I'll find a way to make sure you two get divorced, and you are never to come near my daughter again. Even if you want to make amends, to pursue her, you won't get the chance. I won't give you the chance."

"Miles, hurry, get someone to throw him out."

"You got it." Miles immediately called for security. Did Adrian think he could still call the shots at their estate?

He had tolerated it before, admitting Adrian was powerful and Isabel's identity wasn't confirmed. He had put up with it.

But now?

Heh!
