Chapter 2086

Rude?

Isabel's expression turned bitter. "Clarice, if you're here to cause a scene, then please excuse me."

Isabel wanted to leave, but Clarice stopped her by bellowing, "Just you wait!"

Isabel froze and looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot. She then continued to walk toward the door.

"Isabel Ross, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!"

Isabel was irritated. She turned around to Clarice and asked, "Clarice Houston, you've got a problem! Not me!” Clarice's gaze shifted and instantly looked disheartened.

She had never met someone as rude and disrespectful as Isabel in her life.

She stared at Isabel coldly and said, "Isabel, with one word, | can make you disappear from the entertainment industry.” Isabel said, "I don't believe you. Say one word."

Clarice was rendered speechless. Even her elegant facial features could not hit the ugly expression on her face.

She told herself that she could not lower herself to reason with a cheap woman like Isabel, hence calming herself down. She said coldly, "Isabel Ross, you better show some respect to me."

"Clarice Houston, YOU better show some respect to me.”

Clarice’s expression turned grim. She bellowed, "Not even the director dares to speak to me like this!"

"SoT

Clarice wanted to grab the cup of coffee.

Fortunately, Isabel was faster and she grabbed another cup of coffee. She smiled and provoked Clarice. "Ms. Houston, why don't we see who is faster?"

Clarice clenched her teeth as her expression turned grimmer.

Thunk!

The cup of coffee was placed on the table.

Isabel smiled and put her cup down as well.

"I'm busy, | don't have time for this nonsense."

Isabel wanted to leave.

Clarice suppressed her anger and said, "| have something important to tell you and you better listen to me before you leave." Something important?

Isabel hesitated and ultimately decided to sit back down. "What?"

Clarice lifted her chin and said arrogantly, "You should know about me and Decker."

"Yeah. | know."

The coffee shop was warm and it was getting stuffy, so Isabel unbuttoned her collar and revealed the kiss marks on her neck. When Clarice saw the kiss marks, her eyes narrowed coldly.

"Isabel Ross, how can you be so cheap!?"

Isabel was dumbfounded.

Confused, she glared at Clarice and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you having a split personality disorder?" Clarice sounded fine a moment ago but she suddenly called Isabel cheap.

She stared at Isabel's neck and if she could, she would snap Isabel's neck with her own hands.

Isabel instinctively touched her neck and realized something.

She used her phone as a mirror and spotted the kiss marks on her neck.

Clarice grunted in disdain.

Just when she thought Isabel would feel embarrassed or humiliated, Isabel smiled nonchalantly and said, "My boyfriend did this. What's wrong? You and Decker were engaged for so many years but he never did this to you before?"

 

Chapter 2087

Chapter 2087 Clarice frowned. Isabel showed a surprised look and said, "So, you're still a virgin after being with Decker for so many years?"

"Isabel, you..." Clarice gritted her teeth and bellowed, "Stop trying to provoke me. Decker and | have been dating for a long time and your little tricks won't affect our relationship.”

Isabel found her reaction strange. "I'm just asking. What's with the reaction?"

"You show your neck to me and it is an act of provocation!" Clarice looked at her in disdain. "You're a mistress, a cheap woman who's trying to ruin our relationship. You might have won now but Decker will never leave me for you!”

Isabel was more confused than ever. She asked, "Clarice, what nonsense are you talking about? Who are you calling a mistress, a cheap woman? You think I'm together with that b*stard Decker?"

Clarice's expression shifted. "What do you mean? You're not with Decker?"

Isabel shuddered the moment she thought of Decker. She said honestly, "| broke up with him when you were engaged with him. Period. I'd never be with him anymore."

Clarice was skeptical. She looked at Isabel’s neck and asked, ‘Then what's with your neck?" "| said, it's my boyfriend. He did this."

"Who's your boyfriend?”

“Anyone but Decker."

Clarice looked at Isabel, unsure if she was telling the truth.

Then, she pulled her phone out and played the video in front of Isabel.

Isabel saw herself and Decker at the coffee shop earlier in the afternoon.

The video was not that long and it only showed her and Decker. Roland was not included. Isabel then looked at Clarice. "Who sent it to you?"

Clarice glared at her fiercely. "You don’t need to know who sent it to me. You just need to explain to me what this is. If you already have a boyfriend, why did Decker meet up with you?"

She sounded commanding and was trying to express her superiority through her intimidating presence. Isabel disliked her attitude, but the woman obviously mistook her for having an affair with Decker.

She hated whenever anyone related her to Decker, so she said, "This video is edited. Decker came to see me but we only chatted for a while. What you see in the video is how long we were talking. My boyfriend then came and | left with him. The video doesn’t show."

She looked into Clarice’s eyes when she explained.

Clarice frowned. "Edited? What proof do you have?"

"If you don’t believe me, call Decker and ask him where he is." Clarice hesitated, but she video-called Decker nevertheless.

She switched to the front camera to only show herself.

Awhile later, Isabel heard Decker's voice from the phone and it sounded disgusting.

"Clarice, what is it? Miss me already?"

It sounded disgusting with the pretentious tone, but Clarice seemed to like it.

The frostiness on her look was instantly replaced by gentleness. "Decker, are you still in Westchester?" ‘Yeah. | still haven't finished my work. | think I'll be staying here for a while."

Clarice remained suspicious. She asked, "What’s that beside you?"

Decker then switched the camera angle and said, "Our photo together. | thought | showed you a few days ago when we video- called. It’s on my desk in the hotel and I’ve never moved it.”

Clarice finally smiled. "Okay. You should rest early. I’m sorry to disturb you." Decker answered in his deep voice, "I'm happy that you called me, so please don't say you're disturbing me." Clarice smiled. "I got it."

They said goodbye and the video call ended.

 

Chapter 2088

Chapter 2088 Clarice returned to her arrogant look and looked at Isabel. Isabel crossed her arms, looking at her calmly.

"Isabel, if you have a boyfriend already, stay with your boyfriend and stop eyeing over my man," Clarice said as she stood up, "Or else, I'll make you suffer."

She then grabbed her expensive purse and wanted to leave.

Isabel chuckled. "Decker is a piece of sh*t to me, feel free if you like to eat sh*t."

Clarice stopped, turned around, and glared at her.

If her gaze could kill, she would have killed Isabel multiple times already.

Isabel met her gaze nonchalantly.

Clarice grunted and left in a hurry.

After that, Isabel got up from her seat, yawned, and left the coffee shop.

When she walked out of the coffee shop, she spotted Angela coming to her from the other direction.

Angela's eyes flickered when she met Isabel's gaze. She smiled and said,” Isabel, good evening. Having a coffee?"

Isabel narrowed her eyes and had a glance over Angel's phone. "Hmmm. Someone came all the way from Westchester just to see me.”

"Who is it? Your boyfriend?"

Isabel said nonchalantly, "You’ve seen him already when he came looking for me in the afternoon." Angela's expression shifted. "Oh really? Then who was it just now?"

"Clarice Houston," Isabel said.

Angela asked, "Who's Clarice Houston?"

‘The young mistress of the Houstons in Southboro, Decker Rockwell’s fiancee."

Angel's eyes widened. She was shocked by Clarice's true identity and she could no longer keep up the act. Isabel's lips curled as she walked away.

When she walked past Angela, she whispered, "You should've become a paparazzi. What a wasted talent." Angela froze.

Isabel left, leaving Angela petrified on the spot, unsure how to react.

She thought she was acting naturally so how did Isabel find out she was taking the video of her and Decker earlier in the day?

In addition, when Clarice came to confront Isabel, Angela was also taking a video of them. Although she was confused when Clarice showed Isabel her phone, judging from their conversation, Angela was certain that they were not exactly having a friendly chat and she heard Isabel calling Clarice's full name.

She did not know Clairce was Decker's fiancee and the young mistress of the Houstons of Southboro.

Isabel knew, yet she showed no respect for the woman. How arrogant!

Angela gripped her phone tightly and swiftly returned to her room. She sent the newly recorded video of Clarice confronting Isabel to Isabella.

She added some text, "Isabella, | ran into Isabel when | took the video.

Isabel knew | was taking her video, and do you know that the person she confronted is Clarice Houston, the fiancee of Mr. Rockwell and the young mistress of the Houstons of Southboro? Isabel showed no respect for her and she's such a fool."

Meanwhile, at Isabella's place back in Westchester, she frowned when she received the text.

Angela had no idea Decker liked Isabel and did not know Clarice was there to warn Isabel to stay away.

The reason why Isabel was so arrogant was because she was not involved with Decker and she had her own boyfriend. She was not having an affair with Clarice's fiance, plus her already proud attitude, she would never take Clarice seriously. Isabella raised the volume and watched the video again.

She heard Isabel telling Clarice that the video was edited.

Angela did not capture Clarice's screen when she showed Isabel the phone but if Isabella was correct, Clarice must have shown Isabel the video that she edited earlier, which only showed Isabel and Decker talking to each other.

Coupled with the content of their brief conversation, Clarice must be suspecting Isabella who edited the video and she might be coming for her.

Chapter 2088 Clarice returned to her arrogant look and looked at Isabel. Isabel crossed her arms, looking at her calmly.

Chapter 2090

Isabel started to lose her breath as the kiss went on.

She grunted in a muffled voice and pushed him away. Roland held back the kiss but his lips were still touching hers. "Tell me."

If she continued to toy with him, he would kiss her again and again.

Isabel was annoyed. "Roland, are you threatening-Mhmm!"

He kissed her again, stronger than before.

Isabel felt like her lips were swollen from all the kisses.

In addition, his hand was pinching her waist.

It felt electrifying and it made her body numb.

She pushed him away and stammered, "O-Okay! I'll say!"

Roland released her.

He stared at her like a predator looking at its prey.

Isabel suddenly wanted to move away from his lap, but if she did, it would make her look like a coward. She fluttered her eyes and decided to lean backward to draw some distance from his face. She then said, "It's Clarice Houston, Decker's fiancee. You should know her."

Roland asked, "Why is she here for you?"

"Someone took a video of me and Decker in the coffee shop earlier and sent it to her. She thought | was having an affair with Decker, so she came to confront me."

Roland's expression turned grim. "Someone is targeting you?"

"Maybe, but don't worry. | know who did it."

She knew why Angela took the video and it seemed like Angela did not know who Clarice Houston was.

If Angela did not know Clarice, why would she send the video to her?

More importantly, Isabel almost never crosses paths with Angela, let alone having any competition for resources or recognition.

Even when Angela was trying to find out about Roland, Isabel did not answer but it was not that serious to make Angela target her.

Something was not right.

Angela would not have asked about Roland's identity without a reason.

Was there someone behind her?

Isabel pulled out her phone and texted Amanda, "Amanda, do you know Angela White?"

Amanda's phone was beside her. She texted back almost immediately," The fourth-position actress in Legend of the Goddess? | heard of her, she's quite the sneaky one."

Isabel asked, "Does she have any support behind her?"

"She doesn't have any support but she's quite close with Isabella, and she got some support from her," Amanda answered.

Isabella Brunson.

Isabel narrowed her eyes.

It was her.

Amada asked, ‘What did she do to you?"

“Nothing. I'll explain when | see you."

Isabel put her phone away.

Roland looked at her. "Found out who it is?”

Isabel answered, "Isabella Brunson. | believe she's the one who instigated Angela to take the video." “Her again?" Roland's expression turned grim.

Isabel smiled. "Don't worry. She can't do anything to me. | think Clarice got to her and she must've said I'm seeing Decker, that’s why Clarice is on to me. But now that I’ve explained it to Clarice, she knows I’m not related, so | should be free now."

Roland's expression looked more relaxed. "Mhmmm." Isabel was tired. She no longer wanted to think about all that nonsense.

She leaned on his shoulder and grumbled, "I'm tired. Let’s sleep."
