Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 243

"Nicholas..."

Isabella's anxious heart leaped into her throat as she met Nicholas's indifferent gaze.

She was heartbroken.

This man...

They were once engaged.

The man she had dreamed of marrying countless times was now treating her with such coldness.

And he was doing it in front of Old Mr. Blackwood and all the Blackwood family's staff.

After this...

How could she ever have a place in the Blackwood family?

Fat tears welled up and rolled down her cheeks, one after another.

She knew that even in this dire situation, she absolutely could not leave just like that.

If she left now...

She would truly be finished.

She might really lose any chance of ever marrying Nicholas!

Isabella clenched her fists and scurried over to Old Mr. Blackwood. "Old Mr. Blackwood, I'm so, so sorry... I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose. I truly wanted to show my respect for you. I didn't know... I didn't know the Ghost Doctor's medicine could... could cause this kind of problem..."

She cried pitifully, apologizing profusely to Old Mr. Blackwood, trying to win his sympathy.

Old Mr. Blackwood sighed, his tone complicated. "Alright, Isabella, stop crying. Grandpa knows you don't understand these things. I don't blame you. It's a good thing Serena was here..."

That last phrase, "It's a good thing Serena was here," made Isabella's fingers dig into her palms, her heart twisting in frustration.

She had spent so much money on that EverVita Essence, all to curry favor with Old Mr. Blackwood.

Now... she was the one who had lost the most!

That damned hick Serena was her jinx!

Ever since she came back, Isabella had lost an untold amount of money. All the allowance she had saved up was gone!

The affection that used to be hers was also slipping away, one person at a time.

She was so utterly pathetic now!
