Chapter 2329
At Sovereignโs Apothecary, Isabelle was talking animatedly, describing everything with vivid expressions.
โMikayla, thatโs what happened. Andrew shattered Ezekielโs energy core. Heโs living a fate worse than death. Andrew could have ended his life, but he didnโt. He said sometimes killing a man isnโt the smartest moveโฆ Leaving him broken and wishing for death is far scarier.โ
Mikayla listened in silence, her expression growing darker with every word. Finally, she snapped. โ Enough, Belle. You donโt need to go on.โ
Isabelle blinked innocently. โBut Mikayla, you asked me to tell you. So why are you mad now that Iโm saying it?โ
Mikayla sneered. โSince when did his name roll so easily off your tongue? And Belle, you sound like youโre getting a little too close to him. Have you forgotten who you really are?โ
Isabelle looked completely innocent. โOf course not. I know who I am. My family is Andrewโs mortal enemy. Years ago, we even sent people to hunt him down, but he killed them all.โ
Mikayla was furious. โSince you know all this so well, then why are you still hanging around with him? Belle, youโre too young. You canโt see what kind of person Andrew really is. Heโs been hiding his true skills so deeply. He even dared to cripple Mr. Beckett from Tristars Group. Mark my words, heโs going to face endless punishment for this.โ
Isabelle pouted. โSo what? Mikayla, Iโm telling you, Andrewโs fight with Ezekiel was seriously epic! The way they clashed head-on, blood flying everywhereโฆ It was pure adrenaline. I think I might actually be crushing on him.โ
Mikaylaโs face twitched as she raised her voice. โIsabelle, donโt be an idiot, okay? Some things are not funny to joke about. Do you even know what liking someone means? Youโre one of the top three prodigies of the Robertson family, and your family wonโt tolerate this nonsense.โ
Isabelle shrugged, completely unfazed. โRelax, my family canโt control me.โ
Mikayla snorted coldly. โSo youโre just not going to listen? You think being rebellious is fun? Isabelle, from now on, I forbid you from getting too close to Andrew.โ
Isabelle stayed quiet, but she leaned in, her small face scrutinizing Mikayla from side to side.
Mikayla took a step back. โWhat are you doing?โ
Isabelleโs expression turned peculiar. โMikayla, donโt tell me youโre jealous? No, wait, not jealous. Youโre just upset that Andrew came back to Chetvine and stole the spotlight. Everyone thought he was crawling back like a beaten dog, and who wouldโve thought heโd still be this powerful? So everyoneโs unhappy about it, including you, right?โ
Mikayla laughed coldly. โYou think Iโd be jealous of him? Given my own status and abilities, do I really need to lower myself like that?โ
Isabelle nodded and said, โWell, as long as youโre not jealous, Mikayla. Oh, by the way, Mikayla, let me tell you another secret!โ
Mikayla was in a foul mood and responded half-heartedly. โGo ahead! But make it quick. I have alchemy class in a bit.โ
Isabelle smiled mischievously. โDonโt worry, this wonโt take long. I found out who Mr. Goodmanโs senior is!โ
Mikaylaโs heart skipped a beat, and she asked urgently, โWho is it? Belle, hurry up and tell me, who is it?โ
Isabelle giggled mischievously, keeping her in suspense. โMikayla, youโre so eager to knowโฆ Could it be that youโre planning to find Mr. Goodmanโs senior and ask to become his student?โ
