Isabella cursed wildly in her heart, her mind racing.

She would have no reason to get close to Ben and Susan if she was rejected this time.

Therefore, she should make every attempt to invite Susan to this banquet.

However, Susan was so determined.

Just as Isabella wondered what she should do next, her gaze fell on Charlie.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

Because she had been obsessed with Ben in her previous incarnation, she had found out

some things about the Landor family.

She remembered in her previous incarnation, Charlie had once had a heart attack and

almost died.

Isabella knew it should have been very dangerous at that time. Otherwise, Ben wouldn’t have mentioned it in his memoirs and said he felt it was lucky that Susan was around

when he was frightened at that time.

Isabella’s eyes glistened.

“As I remember, Old Mr. Landor would have a heart attack in a year or two.

Then, there must have been something wrong with his heart by now.

If I can remind the Landor family of this problem in advance, they will feel that they owe me a big favor, especially Ben.

As a devoted grandson, Ben’s attitude towards me will surely improve after I remind him of his grandfather’s sickness.”

At the thought of this, Isabella suddenly asked Charlie with concern, “You don’t look well, Old Mr. Landor. Are you feeling unwell?”

Charlie was stunned for a moment before he frowned slightly and asked, “Do you mean

that I look sick?”

As a proud old man, Charlie hated it the most when others said something bad about his health.

Therefore, Charlie became upset just as Isabella had finished speaking.

“That’s not what I meant,” Isabella hurriedly said. “Old Mr. Landor, I just think that your should have a thorough check–up at the hospital, especially a cardiac examination.”

Then, she thought she would gain the gratitude of the Landor family when Charlie found out about his disease.

Charlie put down his flatware and snapped, “What have I done to you to make you curse

me now?”

“No, I’m not cursing you…” Isabella stuttered as she waved her hand repeatedly, flustered.

“See her off,” Ben ordered with a cold face. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The housekeeper hurried over and gestured to Isabella that she should leave.

Isabella’s face turned pale.

She had no idea why these people all misunderstood her when she kindly reminded them.

However, she couldn’t think of a better way to convince Charlie for the time being, so she could only reluctantly leave with the housekeeper.

“Wait,” Ben suddenly uttered.

Isabella’s face lit up at once. She wondered if Ben had changed his mind and was about to ask her to stay.

“Bring the gift back,” Ben said indifferently..

“Yes.” The housekeeper handed the gift to Isabella, staring at her.

Under the housekeeper’s determined gaze, Isabella had no choice but to be sent out, gritting her teeth.

“Leo, what’s wrong with your classmate? Is she not right in the head?” Charlie looked at Leo with dissatisfaction and said, “Stop associating with such people.”

Leo didn’t know why Isabella suddenly cursed his grandfather either. He tried to explain with embarrassment, “Grandpa, Isabella doesn’t usually act like this…”

“I don’t care what she usually does. Anyway, don’t bring her home anymore,” Charlie said

with displeasure.

Leo had no choice but to agree.

He was still wondering if Isabella was suddenly out of her mind.

Penelope also asked Leo in private, “Is your female classmate really insane? Why did she act so differently and eccentrically during these two days?”

Yesterday, Isabella was still a naive and innocent girl who had acted like she could cry at any time.

Today, she had become an elegant and dignified lady.

But Penelope thought either image of Isabella seemed to be not right in the head.

“She’s not…” Leo was also at a loss for explanation.

After Penelope left, he couldn’t help but send a message to Isabella and ask, “Isabella, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly mention such an unlucky thing? Grandpa hates it when others say he is in poor health.”

At this time, Isabella was so angry that she was smashing things in the hotel.

When she saw Leo’s message, she became even angrier!

She thought with resentment, “I told them out of kindness, but none of them appreciated

1. it.

No!

I must prove that there is something wrong with Old Mr. Landor’s health.

Otherwise, I can never get close to the Landor family!”

Looking at Leo’s flashing avatar, Isabella’s eyes suddenly glinted.

She picked up the phone and sent a voice message with a pitiful voice, “Leo, I really didn’t mean to curse your grandpa. I have learned some medical skills from a private physician before, so I know something is wrong with your grandpa’s health.”

“What’s wrong?” Leo still did not believe it.

After all, Charlie looked hale and hearty.

“I can’t explain it clearly on the phone. Come to meet me at the hotel.” Isabella sent the

location over.

When Leo heard that they were about to meet at the hotel, his mind went blank and was

soon filled with erotic scenes.

“I’ll be right there!” He replied with a message and rushed out.

“Humph, what a boring and stupid man.”

Isabella spoke in her heart as she rolled her eyes. She felt an incompetent man like Leo was not worthy of any attention from a reborn person like her.

But now, she had no choice but to rely on Leo for help.

Before Leo arrived, Isabella went to the pharmacy first.

Soon, there was a knock on the hotel room’s door.

Isabella opened the door and saw Leo excitedly standing at the door.

“Isabella, have you thought it through?” Leo reached out to hug her.

Isabella’s face immediately darkened. She quickly pushed Leo away and snapped, “I asked you to come something serious!”

“What is it?” Leo was a little disappointed, but he knew he couldn’t force Isabella.

Isabella sat down on the sofa and raised her head proudly as she said, “Sit down too.”

Leo seated himself with a blank expression.

“We’re classmates, Leo. I’m here to help you,” Isabella said.

“How can you help me?” Leo asked with confusion.

“I can tell that in the Landor family, Old Mr. Landor seems to favor Ben Landor but doesn’t care much about you and your mother. Do you want to change this situation?” Isabella looked at him meaningfully.

Leo’s expression changed. “Grandpa watched Ben grow up, but I have been sent abroad since I was in elementary school. It’s normal for Grandpa to like Ben more.”

“It is normal, but do you feel reconciled to such a situation?” Isabella incited him.

Leo gnashed his teeth. “Of course, I’m not reconciled, but what can I do?”

“This is the solution.” Isabella directly handed him a carton of medicine.

“What’s this?” Leo asked as the look in his eyes changed.

“Find an opportunity to feed this medicine to Old Mr. Landor, and then…”

Before Isabella could finish her words, Leo looked at her in horror. “No, no. He’s my grandfather. I can’t harm him in any case.”

Isabella’s face instantly turned cold. “I didn’t ask you to harm him!”

She knew there would be no chance for her to marry Ben anymore if she harmed Charlie.

“Then, what do you mean?” Leo was baffled.

Isabella lowered her voice and said slowly, “Didn’t I tell you that I know some medical skills? I learned them from a private physician who is particularly good at diagnosing people by looking at their complexion. Today, when I saw Mr. Landor senior’s face, I felt that something was wrong. His face looks ruddy, but this is exactly a symptom of a

cardiac disease.”

Isabella explained, “When the blood circulation is not good, it will cause the heat in the body to be out of balance, so the upper body will be hot while the lower will be cold. At the same time, the legs will be swollen due to too much water accumulation in them. If the heart is not working normally, it will cause internal heat maldistribution in the body, and

thus the face will turn red easily. Old Mr. Landor’s face often turns red, which is an abnormal phenomenon for someone at such an old age.”

Isabella spoke coherently, but the reason why she was so sure was that she had already known what would happen in the future.

Then, it would be very easy to find an excuse to explain it.

Hearing this, Leo was stunned. “Is… is it reliable? We regularly ask physicians to examine Grandpa. Why did none of them ever say that?”

“The cardiac disease has always been very well hidden, especially the myocardial problem. Many people don’t know about it until it flares up,” Isabella said.

Leo was still confused. “Then what do you mean by this carton of medicine?”

Isabella’s eyes slightly glinted. “You saw what happened this morning. I told them about the disease directly, and no one believed me. Instead, they considered my advice a curse on Old Mr. Landor. So, I came up with a way to prove what I said.”

“How can you prove it?” Leo asked.

“This is a type of cardiotonic medicine,” Isabella slowly said, “Ordinary people will be fine after eating it. However, if someone with a hidden danger of a heart attack ate it, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the medicinal effect. Then, they would have a heart attack.”

Leo felt his eyelids twitching. He asked, “What do you mean?”

Isabella pushed the medicine carton to Leo and said confidently, “Find a way to get Old Mr. Landor to take this medicine. If I am wrong and there’s nothing wrong with his heart, he won’t have any reaction. If there is indeed a hidden danger of myocardial infarction, he will most likely have a heart attack at once. At that time, if the two of us save him in time…”

Isabella gave Leo a meaningful look and said, “Old Mr. Landor is partial toward Ben. But if you save his life, will he change his impression of you? As for me, it also proves that I was not talking nonsense in this morning.”

“Eh…” Leo was tempted, but he still looked hesitant. “Isn’t this inappropriate?”

“Then give back the medicine to me.” Isabella reached out to take the medicine away.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Leo grabbed the medicine. “I didn’t say no.”

Isabella said with a victorious smile, “Hope we have a pleasant cooperation.”

Leo hesitated for a moment before he finally made up his mind. “Happy cooperation!”

He thought to himself, “Grandpa, don’t blame me.

You can only blame yourself for your partiality.

You always stand on Ben’s side.

If I don’t fight for your affection, when can I stand out?

Moreover, I don’t want to hurt you. I just hope that you can value me more.

I had no choice.”
