Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement

Chapter 654: Human or Dog 

After Cecilia went upstairs, she was infuriated. “Isabella thought highly of herself!”

“Exactly! She was so arrogant!” Scarlet was also quite angry. “If it weren’t for Mr Lisa’s sake, who would have apologized to her? You even made concessions, but Isabella wouldn’t give an inch. In my opinion, Isabella shouldn’t have returned to this family!”

“She made me so angry, so angry…” Cecilia had no outlet for her frustration. She threw pillows and stuffed animals everywhere, feeling unsatisfied. Then she started throwing objects from the table, like tissue boxes and remote controls, onto the floor.

Damn it!

Isabella was relying on Lisa’s support to act so arrogantly!

“Mr Lisa was overacting! You just said a few thoughtless words in front of our friends, and it turned into you being obsessed with your image, being vain, and not hurting Isabella. And then he forbade you from having dinner and deducted your monthly salary and Lunar New Year bonus! Mr Lisa was truly going too far!”

“Lisa punished me, but he warned you privately and deducted a month’s salary and the Lunar New Year bonus. Lisa was going too far!” After all, Scarlet had been serving in this family for eighteen years! She had worked so hard!

Lisa punished Scarlet too…

Cecilia only said a few things that weren’t in Isabella’s favour. She didn’t cause any substantial harm to Isabella. Lisa’s actions were genuinely excessive!

“Miss Cecilia, I was fine… but your position in Mr Lisa’s eyes was greatly damaged by Isabella…”

Cecilia, in her anger, suddenly had an idea.

She went to the Western-style kitchen. When the servants saw her searching around, they asked hurriedly, “Miss Cecilia, what were you looking for?”

“I wanted to make Isabella a cup of coffee to calm her down…” Cecilia asked gently, “Where were the coffee beans that Isabella usually liked to drink?”

“They were in this drawer.” The servant took them out voluntarily.

Cecilia looked and was surprised that the coffee beans Isabella drank were even better than the ones she usually had!

“Was this the coffee that Isabella usually drank? Are you sure?” Cecilia maintained her gentle and kind appearance.

“Yes, these were bought by Mr Lisa a long time ago. He said Isabella also drank this brand at the company. Usually, I’m the one who brewed coffee for Isabella so that I wouldn’t be mistaken.”

“… “Cecilia suddenly felt a sense of disparity in her heart. Lisa had secretly bought such good coffee beans for Isabella. He even had them at the company. Lisa had indeed been biased.

“Let me make a cup for Isabella.” Cecilia took the coffee beans and went to the coffee machine.

“Miss Cecilia, let me do it. This type of coffee bean is different from regular ones. You need to be careful with the dosage and brewing method to ensure that it tastes the best when Isabella drinks it.”

“… “Cecilia didn’t care about the taste; she just found it repulsive. “Tell me how to do it, and I’ll make it.”

Seeing that Cecilia genuinely wanted to make the coffee, the servant guided the side.

After making the coffee, Cecilia brought it upstairs and knocked on Isabella’s door.

When Isabella heard the knock, she knew it wasn’t her usual strength and guessed it was Cecilia. Isabella lazily said, “If you’re a person, don’t knock anymore. If you’re a dog, bark twice.”

Cecilia’s actions froze in mid-air, unsure of how to proceed. If Cecilia knocked again, it would mean she wasn’t human, and if Cecilia spoke, it would prove she was a dog…

Damn you, Isabella!

Scarlet was hiding nearby and was about to speak up, but Cecilia signalled for her to return. After clearing her throat, Cecilia gently said, “Isabella, it’s me… Can you open the door?”

Isabella already knew it was someone she didn’t want to see, so she didn’t bother responding.

“Isabella…” Cecilia knocked on the door while holding the coffee. “Could you hear me?”

Isabella left her hanging for a while before opening the door.

“I told you to bark twice. Did you bark?”

“Cecilia suppressed her anger and put on a calm smile. “Isabella, this is the coffee you usually drink. Just take a sip to calm down.”

“Are you trying to poison or spill the coffee on me?”

Cecilia didn’t expect Isabella to be so intelligent. She hurriedly smiled and said, “Why would I do that? I genuinely wanted to apologize to you.”

“Are you apologizing to me or trying to teach me a lesson? Do you think I don’t know?”

Isabella had spent eighteen years in the Brown family. She had seen all sorts of tricks, especially after the Brown family found Daisy. That pretentious coquette would put on a show every day at home. Isabella had experienced all kinds of tricks.

Cecilia was nowhere near her level…

“What do I have to do for you to accept my apology?” Cecilia sincerely said. “As long as it’s something I can do, I will do it.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes,” Cecilia nodded earnestly.

“Then stay away from me, don’t appear before me. When I close the door later, make sure you hold the coffee steady, don’t spill it on yourself intentionally or break the cup and blame me.” After saying that, Isabella unceremoniously closed the door.

Cecilia didn’t expect Isabella to see through her final plan. Seeing Isabella quickly close the door, she stood holding the coffee, not knowing what to do. In hiding in the shadows, Scarlet didn’t expect Isabella to be so sharp-minded…

Scarlet signalled for Cecilia to leave first. Cecilia looked at the expensive coffee in her hand and deliberately sounded dejected as she walked away. “Isabella didn’t want to drink it. It seems my sincerity didn’t touch her. I’ll think of another way.”

One of the servants, who was cleaning an antique vase, saw this and suddenly felt some sympathy for Miss Cecilia. She had been waiting in the living room since morning, wanting to apologize to Miss Isabella. But after being humiliated by Miss Isabella, she didn’t receive a kind response…

In the past, Cecilia had never experienced such humiliation…

Cecilia had only been concerned about saving face and said something unfavourable about Miss Isabella in front of their friends. It shouldn’t have led to this outcome.

“Miss Cecilia, you’re still not well. You should rest in your room…” The servant who spoke was named Lotus, around Cecilia’s age.

Cecilia felt happy to have someone on her side and pretended to be magnanimously disappointed. “It’s alright. There’s nothing more important than getting Isabella’s forgiveness…” Cecilia pretended to say.

Lotus saw Cecilia’s disappointed departure and suddenly felt that Miss Cecilia wasn’t fundamentally bad. She must have

After returning to her room, Cecilia’s face immediately changed. She no longer appeared weak or sad. On the contrary, she sniffed the coffee in her hand. The aroma was more prosperous and more mellow than what she usually drank.

She had never had such expensive coffee in this family -just this tiny cup cost around two thousand dollars.

She slowly savoured the coffee, her eyes filled with new ideas.

After finishing a video conference in her room, Isabella grabbed her bag and prepared to go out. Cecilia caught up with her as soon as she left the main building.

“Isabella, where were you going? When would you be back? I just learned from the chef how to make a few small cakes for you. They would be ready soon…”

Isabella expected Cecilia could be more smart. She turned around and saw several servants cleaning the garden, all curious about the commotion. Even the servants wiping the windows by the large floor- to-ceiling windows were watching.

“Don’t waste my time,” Isabella said.

Isabella could tell that Cecilia wasn’t genuinely remorseful. She was putting on an act for the people around her, trying to make them believe that she was a good person.

“Isabella, please give me another chance,” Cecilia suddenly grabbed her hand.

“What? Are you waiting for me to let go of your hand so you can take the opportunity to fall?”

“No, that’s not what I meant. Isabella, you misunderstood…” Cecilia felt wronged but continued to hold onto Isabella’s hand.

“Come here,” Isabella suddenly looked at the nearby servants.

The servants were taken aback but quickly put down their
