Chapter 167 Crazy Isabela
“Mommy, is Isabela crazy? I'm scared." Emily clutched Kara's satin kimono.
"I think she's crazy. Should we call a mental hospital?” Louis answered without looking away. His eyes
lingered on how Isabela danced around the mannequin while ruining the dress.
"What did you say?" Isabela's voice jolted the twins. Her glaring eyes made them hold their breath. "Did
you say I'm crazy?"
Suddenly, Isabela dropped the scissors. She dragged the innocent statue and threw it at Kara's feet.
"Your mother is the one who is crazy. She thinks she‘s worthy to take my place as Mrs. Harper. Has
she never looked in a mirror?”
Isabela stroked her own face. “I am so pretty, while she’s ugly. I'm famous and have lots of fans, while
she ... she doesn’t even have a proper dress for her wedding."
Grinning, Isabela leaned closer to the twins. "Aren't you embarrassed to have a mother like her?"
Louis leaned closer to Kara. His eyes glanced at Emily with the same horror. Nothing came out of his
lips. He had never faced a madman before.
Receiving an unexpected response, Isabela's face turned sour. While gritting her teeth, she started to
snap. “Why are you guys silent? Come on, cry! Let your frustration out. This moment is broken. Cry!"
The twins frowned. Their confusion fueled greater anger within Isabela.
"You ...." Her finger pointed at Emily. “Aren't you the one who designed this dress? Why don't you cry?
You like your mother wearing this tattered dress?”
Emily shrank away, hiding behind Kara. Strengthening her grip, she looked up. She hoped that her
mother could give her instructions on what answer to give. However, Kara was also silent.
“Is this still not messy enough?” Isabela trampled on the mannequin. Her breathing was getting hoarse
and louder. "Do I need to burn it then give it to your mother?"
“Miss Hall, stop. Don't you feel sorry for yourself?” Kara sighed softly. “Come to your senses. It's not
too late for you to fix all this. Forgive yourself and start a new life. Think about your parents.”
Isabela waved her hands furiously. “Shut up! You don’t have the rights to tell me to forgive myself. What
did I do wrong?"
Kara sighed in pity. "You won't be able to change if you don't want to admit you’re wrong," she said
weakly.
Just as Isabel was about to bluff, several people came with bodyguards. “Sorry to make you wait so
long. Mister Harper asked us to highlight the dresses from all angles. We have so much fun that we
forget the time."
Isabela was taken aback by two mannequins covered in beautiful dresses. With shaking eyes, she
looked at the pieces of cloth under her feet. "This is not the wedding dress?"
“To be honest, I thought you're a great model, Miss Hall. Your name is famous and you have a lot of
experience. But, seeing you fail to recognize the quality of a dress like this, I think I should change my
assessment.” Kara nodded slowly.
"You ...!" Isabela's voice echoed. "What's this? A trap? You guys gave me the wrong dress on
purpose?”
“It's just a display. I put it to entertain Kara. You can't possibly think I'm that careless, right?” Frank Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
suddenly appeared from the stairs. Behind him, Mr. and Mrs. Hall walked with their mouths agape.
“Oh, God. What have you done, Isabel?" Vincent still tried to keep his voice down.
Isabela's fists clenched together. Her shoulders rose and fell faster. “You guys are in cahoots? You all
deliberately ruined my plans?”
“If you don't want your plans ruined, you'll have to learn how to sneak again.” A second later, Frank
turned to Kara and the twins. "Are you guys okay?"
Before the three people had time to answer, Isabela shouted and raised both arms. Just as her hands
almost reached Kara's hair, two bodyguards secured her.
"No! Let me go! She must be taught a lesson.” In the next second, Isabela uttered harsh words that
made Kara and Frank cover the twins' ears.
Vincent Hall could no longer remain silent. While his wife bit her lip, having no heart to watch their
daughter, he glanced at his assistant. With just one nod, the man injected something into Isabela. After
a few moments, Isabela was no longer conscious.
“Take my daughter to the car!”
"Yes, Sir."
As Sara Hall was leaving with Isabel, Vincent turned to face Frank. His lips trembled. His tongue was
too stiff to move.
"Sorry." He took a deep breath. “Please forgive Isabella. As her parents, we promise that this will not
happen again.”
"Will Isabela be put in a mental hospital?"
Emily quickly nudged her brother's arm. Louis flinched and folded his mouth inward. "Sorry."
Vincent sighed in resignation. “No need to apologize, Louis. That way is clearly the best for my
daughter. She must receive proper treatment. This is what happens when someone has too big
ambitions.”
“We're sorry to hear that, Mister Hall. I hope Isabela can recover quickly," Emily said sincerely.
Vincent pulled back the corners of his heavy lips. After nodding briefly, he looked at Frank and Kara
with sad eyes. "Sorry we can't attend your wedding ceremony."
“It's okay, Mr. Hall. Your presence here already means a lot to us.” Kara smiled faintly.
Vincent replied with a bitter curl of his lips. After patting Frank on the shoulder, he said goodbye.
“So,” Kara spun around to face Frank, “you really set her up?”
Frank pursed his lips and shrugged. “I have no other choice. This is the only way to get her parents to
take action.”
“Yes, I also think this is the best way for Isabela. Hopefully she won't be crazy forever," Louis stated
with a flat expression.
"Mommy, Daddy, can we start the wedding ceremony now? I’m afraid the clouds outside disperse.”
Emily pointed a finger at the window.
Frank and Kara smiled.
“You’re right, let's get started. Mommy will follow after wearing the wedding dress."
"Okay! We can't wait to welcome Mommy," Louis nodded with a sweet smile. However, after one blink,
his lips pursed and his gaze narrowed. “Philip!”
The man near the stairs turned wide-eyed. “Yes, Young Master?”
“Can you take good care of Mommy? We have to go down now. Don't let any madman bother Mommy
again."
Frank let out a chuckle. “Don't worry, Buddy. That was part of Daddy's plan. Mommy is not completely
free from supervision.”
“But Daddy's method was a bit risky. Isabela held scissors. What if she attacked Mommy?”
“Emily is right. And I'm still too small to fight Isabela. We’re lucky nothing happened earlier."
"Yes! Everyone must be impatient. Come on, Emily. We have to hurry!” Louis walked quickly towards
the stairs. With light steps, Emily followed him.
Kara secretly glanced around her. There was a slight change in the faces of the guards.
“I'm still wearing a kimono, Frank. It's not time to praise," she said awkwardly.
“But you are beautiful.”
