Chapter 52 A Magnificent Beauty
The bodyguard immediately bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Taylor. It was my mistake!”
“Get her out of there!” Dan barked impatiently.
“Yes, Mr. Taylor!” The bodyguard gestured for Isabel to leave. “Please leave right now, Miss Isabel!”
Isabel stood there in shock. She widened her eyes in disbelief as she questioned Dan.
“Dan, have you gone mad? If I don’t belong in this family, then which family do I belong to? Also, are you trying to chase me away? How can you chase me away? This is my home!”
“How can I?” Dan sneered. “Because the accident back then was orchestrated by Bryan Xavier! Bryan Xavier is now my enemy, and you have his blood flowing in you! You’re a rotten child that’s the product of Bryan Xavier scheming against my father! You shouldn’t even have been born! Chasing you away is the least of what I could do to you. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re still half-related to me, I would’ve strangled you to death myself!”
Isabel was now petrified, and all the color drained from her face. She vehemently shook her head, saying, “No! That’s impossible! Dan, what kind of a joke is that? My grandfather saved your life! What do you mean that it was orchestrated? What schemes? Dan, are you insane?”
Dan was in no mood to continue dealing with her. He yelled his commands at the bodyguard. “What are you all waiting for? Get her out of here!”
Out of the three Taylor siblings, only Sam had a more agreeable personality. Both Dan and Isabel were hot-headed and quick-tempered. It was obvious that Dan was in a foul mood, and none of the bodyguards dared to disobey his orders. They immediately stepped forward, grabbed Isabel by the shoulders, and herded her out.
Isabel felt like she was going crazy. She shook her head with all her might and began to plead loudly, “Dan, what’s the matter with you? Dan, it’s me, Isabel! I’m your sister! How can you treat me like this? Let go of me! Let go! You bunch of worthless dogs! Did you hear what I said? If Father finds out that you’ve treated me this way, he will definitely break all your legs! Let go of me, let go!”
However, the bodyguards ignored her protests and shoved her out to the main gates of Taylor Residence. After pushing her to the ground, they turned around and headed back in.
The gates closed behind her. However, Isabel crawled up from the ground and limped her way to the gates. She began screaming at the top of her lungs as she pounded the gates as hard as she could.
Two bodyguards were positioned right at the entrance, but no matter how violently Isabel slammed the gates as she commanded the bodyguards to open them up, they merely stood there in silence and ignored her.
She kept banging on the gates as she cried out for her father and her brother. No one paid her any attention. After half an hour, she no longer had any strength left and her voice had turned hoarse. She fell into a heap on the ground as she continued crying.
Isabel could not understand why things had turned out this way.
All of a sudden, her world had just come crashing down. Her mother was currently detained at the detention center, and the lawyers said that her mother would face at least three years of jail time.
Her father and brother had always been invincible, but they still could not get her mother out despite their fervent attempts to find a solution.
In fact, Isabel had even heard that Madeline Taylor was the reason why her mother got in trouble.
Believing that she could blackmail Madeline into letting her mother go free, Isabel had rushed back to get a few things before heading out to meet Madeline. However, before she could leave the house, her father and brother came home.
She thought that they would bring back good news, but instead, they brought back news that shattered her world!
Dan said that it was her grandfather who orchestrated the accident that happened to him. Her grandfather was not Dan’s savior, but his enemy. This was why her father did not want her anymore. Even Dan looked at her like she was his enemy as well, and she had been chased out of the Taylor Residence.
Isabel was terrified.
Were her father and brother just caught up in the heat of the moment, or did they really mean it? What if they didn’t recognize her as part of the family anymore? What would happen to her? She was the Taylor family’s daughter! She was her father’s daughter and her brother’s sister! How could they treat her like this?
Even though she wept until her voice started cracking, still no one came looking for her.
Isabel was stricken with fear. She had never felt so frightened before. Suddenly, she remembered her mother.
That’s right! Mother!
Her mother was the one who loved her the most in this entire world! The most important thing now was to get her mother out of the detention center. As long as her mother did not get in trouble, then Isabel would have someone to rely on. Her mother would surely be able to help her get back into the family’s good graces and remain a part of the Taylor family!
She wiped away her tears and took out her cell phone to call Madeline.
Meanwhile, at Rabbit’s Den.
Just as Madeline took her seat opposite Michael and Jonathan, her phone started ringing. She was amused when she saw who was calling her. It was indeed a busy day for her phone today, as nearly every member of the Taylor family had called.
She apologized to Michael and Jonathan before getting up and answering her phone.
“Madeline Taylor, where are you? I want to see you!” Isabel’s tone was vicious.
“Must I see you just because you want to?” Madeline snorted. “I’m afraid not. Even though you wish to see me, I don’t want to see you. As for where I am now? I’m not telling you!”
Isabel was trembling with anger. “Madeline Taylor, don’t you get cocky! Do you think that just because you bagged a rich man, you’re going to become someone important? Stop dreaming! Madeline Taylor, a b*tch is a b*tch! I have a lot of information on you that you wouldn’t dare let anyone else get their hands on. If you know what’s good for you, then hurry up and withdraw the charges against my mother and get the police to release her. Or else, I’m going to show this to the sucker who’s fallen for you! Let’s see if he would still want you!”
After hearing how Isabel cursed at her, Madeline was itching for a fight as well.
Previously, she was wary of Dan and could only hold herself back whenever she wanted to lay her hands on Isabel. But now, she no longer needed to hold back. Since Isabel herself was asking for it, then Madeline would use this opportunity to teach her a lesson!
“Fine, come here!” Madeline told Isabel where she was and hung up.
She joined Michael and Jonathan once more and politely apologized, “I’m sorry to have kept you both waiting.”
“No worries, we’re the ones who’ve interrupted you…” Jonathan got up from his chair. “Please take a seat.”
Jonathan only took his seat once Madeline sat down.
Michael stared at Madeline for a long time without speaking. Madeline was beautiful, but that word did not even begin to describe her. She was a magnificent beauty, like the ones who inspired the creation of countless artworks and poetry throughout history.
His wife had also been such a beauty, and she had been nicknamed the most beautiful woman in all of Worrick.
Cameron and his wife were half-sisters, so they did have some likeness in their features. However, Cameron could not hold a candle to his wife at all. When they stood together, her wife’s captivating beauty would make Cameron look like a maidservant in comparison.
In the past, whenever he saw Madeline, Michael would think that she was Cameron’s daughter and did not give her a second look. But if he had bothered to pay more attention to Madeline, he would have felt suspicious about it earlier.
There was no way that a woman like Cameron could give birth to a daughter as stunningly beautiful as Madeline.
