Chapter 10 Isabel’s Brilliant Counterattack.
Hehe!
Lillian was still as good as ever at making up nonsense.

Reggie turned to look at Isabel, recalling what Isabel had said earlier. She claimed to be a disciple of the Miracle Healer, while Lillian had said she had found the Miracle Healer.
Well…
“Reggie, even though Lily isn’t your biological sister, she cares about you more than your real sister does. Don’t you think you should pay more attention to her?” Colin said this from the heart, really seeing Lillian as his own daughter.
Isabel watched all of this with a cold expression, catching on that Colin was trying to get Reggie to stop focusing on her and give more attention to Lillian.
What a perfect dad!
“Dad! How can you say that?!” Reggie was furious, not just for himself but for Isabel.
He knew his sister must be really hurt to hear their father talk like that.
“Fine, fine! Reggie, are you going to keep defending this wild girl no matter what?” Colin asked, fuming and pointing at Reggie.
“She is my sister,” Reggie said firmly, each word full of conviction.
Seeing Reggie standing in front of her and hearing his firm words, Isabel would be lying if she said she wasn’t touched.
“Very well! You two siblings are on the same side, not with us. Starting today, I won’t give you another cent! And you, Reggie, you’ll need to figure out how to cover the hospital and treatment costs on your own!” Colin thought this would intimidate Isabel and Reggie.
Unexpectedly-
“Don’t worry, we won’t ask you for another cent!” Isabel said coldly.
Not only that, but Isabel also planned to move Reggie to the best ward in the hospital and arrange for top–notch care.
“That’s what you said. If you run out of money in the future and regret it, even if you come and beg me, I won’t even look at you!” Colin said angrily before storming out.
“Wait a minute,” Isabel, called out.
“Do you regret it” Colin showed a mocking look on his face.
Isabel’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint in them.
“You say you’ve found the Miracle Healer? Where is she?”
Lillian was surprised by Isabel’s sudden question. “Do you think I would casually disclose the whereabouts of such an important figure?”
Isabel’s eyes narrowed with a cold glint. “Lillian, if you’re calling someone a big shot, then you should know that you can’t just spread rumors about them. Want to build connections? Do you believe I won’t make your claim about knowing the Miracle Healer public? If a big shut gets upset and decides to step in, let’s see how you handle that.”
Lillian turned pale with fear. She had lied to Colin about finding the Miracle Healer to gain his attention and affection. And it
worked.
Colin had given her a good chunk of money to buy a handbag and some clothes.
But he wasn’t stupid, seeing something was off, he quickly asked. “Lily, are you really telling the truth or not?”

“1 .. 1 … ” Lillian was as anxious as an ant on a hot stove.
Isabel then pulled out her phone and played the recording from earlier. “Lillian, think carefully before you answer. Do you really want to mess with the Miracle Healer?”
Lillian swallowed hard, panic showing in her eyes.
“Lily! Tell me the truth!” Colin almost yelled.
Lillian was terrified, her eyes wide as she stared at Colin.
He had always spoiled her and never been harsh, so seeing him this upset was a big deal.
“I’m sorry, Dad! I shouldn’t have lied! Please forgive me, sub sob
Colin was in shock. His beloved daughter had told such a huge lie.
“Dad, please forgive me. I didn’t mean to lie. I just wanted to get more of your love and make you happy. I really didn’t do it
on purpose.”
“Hmph!” Isabel scoffed and looked at Colin. “You said I was being ignorant and that I messed things up with Kaleb. But now your dear daughter has gone and offended the Miracle Henler! Tsk tsk. The Miracle Healer is way more important than Kaleb,
isn’t she?”
The more Isabel spoke, the more scared Lillian got. She immediately started pleading. “I’m sorry, Isa. I shouldn’t have lied. Please delete the recording. I’m begging you!”
At that point, Lillian wasn’t acting all high and mighty anymore. She was almost on her knees begging Isabel. Amelia joined in, saying, “Isa, please just delete it. I’ve always been good to you. I—”
“Been good to me? How can you even say that?” Isabel cut off Amelia. “Since you and your daughter moved in, I’ve had to put up with so much from you two. If it weren’t for Reg looking out for me, I might not have made it this far.”
Enough!” Colin rubbed his temples, clearly fed up. He turned to Isabel and said, “Just delete the recording! Do you think you can mess around with this? It’s the Miracle Hepler we’re talking about! If you anger that big shot, our family could be ruined in no time!”
Isabel had lost all her patience. ‘Get out. My brother’s trying to recover, and you’re being too noisy.”
Colin clenched his fists, wanting to slap Isabel.
“Just delete the recording-
“Get out! Didn’t you hear me? I’ll count to three. If you’re not gone by then, rifmake this recording public. Isabel glared coldly at Colin and the others, pressuring them to leave.
Colin was both angry and frustrated, but he was also worried that Isabel might do something irreversible. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the hospital, seething with anger.
“Reg, what are you getting up for? Lie back down,” Isabel said as she helped Reggie back to his bed.
“Isa, was what you said earlier true? Are you really the Miracle Healer’s apprentice? Reggie asked, staring at Isabel.

“Yes” Isabel nodded.
Reggie gazed at her for a while and saw no sign of deception, so he believed her.
“Rest up. Reg. I’ll heal your face in a month,” Isabel assured him.
Reggie opened his mouth slightly, overwhelmed with emotion, and couldn’t find the words.

Take it easy for now. This regular ward isn’t ideal for your recovery. I’ll arrange for you to be moved to a VIP ward,” she said while helping him lie down.
Colin’s actions were truly harsh. Despite being the head of the company, he had left his son in a regular ward.
“Isa, take this card. It has 50 thousand I saved up,” Reggie said, pulling a bank card from under his pillow and handing it to
her.
As Isabel looked at the card, she was struck by a wave of sadness.
It didn’t matter if she endured hardship, but Reggie was the eldest son of the Zimmermans. Despite being disfigured, he had
been helping Colin in the company. It was heartbreaking that he had ved 50 thousand.
She remembered that Lillian’s Chanel bag from last month cost about that much.
“Keep the card. I have enough money”

it’s my
my turn to take care of you. Believe me, I can handle it, Isabel said firmly,
“Reg, you always looked out for me. Now it locking eyes with Reggie.
He tried to say something. But seeing her determined look, he couldn’t help but trust her.
“Alright, I’ll let you take care of me this time.”
Isabel showed a genuine smile.
After spending lunch with Reggie, Isabel returned to the Bennett villa.
As she approached the villa, she saw Xander aggressively kicking a man on the ground.
It was the first time she had seen Xander so fierce and menacing since she arrived at the villa, almost like a demon.
She realized she had let her guard down recently due to Xander’s normally calm demeanor.
But who
o was he? He was the formidable leader who had overthrown his three uncles to become the head of the Bennetts.
Without ruthless methods and decisive actions, he wouldn’t have achieved his position.
Remembering how she had joked around with Xander the day before, she shuddered.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to hold it against her. Otherwise, she might have been kicked out of the Bennetts, complicating her mission.
Just then, Xander’s cold voice cut through Isabel’s thoughts.
“Who instructed you to attack my brother?”
Curious, Isabel looked inside.
It turned out that Samuel’s accident wasn’t a random incident but a deliberate attack!
Who would dare to harm the second heir of the Bennetts? They must be seeking death!

Jeff Garner groveled and begged for mercy. “No one instructed me. I was drunk at that time. Mr. Xander, I’m truly sorry for what happened to your brother. Please spare me!”
Xander remained cold as he looked at Jeff.
“I had an investigation done. You’re only an ordinary taxi driver. Yet two days before the accident, half a million suddenly appeared in your account.”
Jeff’s heart sank, and he began to tremble.
“M–my friend transferred it to me……
Before he could finish, Xander kicked him hard in the shoulder and stomped on him, causing a painful crunching sound.
“Ah–Jeff screamed in agony.
“Your friend? Do you have a friend who could transfer half a million to you? My investigation shows that your friends and family don’t have the means to send that much.”
Xander continued to stomp on Jeff.
“It was really an accident! No one instructed me–Jeff’s words trailed off as he fainted, his eyes rolling back.
Xander’s expression hardened, his entire demeanor becoming as cold as ice.
“Take him away, lock him up, and interrogate him thoroughly every day.”
“Yes, sir.”
After giving those orders, Xander noticed Isabel walking in.
“Did you see everything?” he asked, his fingers clenched and his lips straight.
“Yes,” Isabel replied, watching as Jeff was dragged away.
She had a method to make jeff reveal the truth–hypnosis, which was her specialty. But using it might raise Xander’s suspicions.
“Do you think I’m cruel? Scary!” Xander asked, watching Isabel’s reaction. He noticed she was focused on Jeff and guessed she might be frightened by his harsh tactics.
Although she seemed fearless before, it was probably because she thought he was merely a refined high–class person. Now that she had seen his ruthless side, it was natural for her to feel scared.
She might even avoid him in the future or go as far as seeking a divorce.
As Xander thought that, Isabel casually peeled an orange and sat on the sofa, looking relaxed.
“Cruel? Is this what you call cruel? If someone harmed my loved ones, I’d be even more ruthless.”
She thought of Reggie and felt a strange sense of empathy for Xander.
Xander was surprised by Isabel’s words, not expecting such a response.
“Are you not afraid of me?”
“Afraid?” Isabel was stunned for a moment. “Why should I be afraid? I haven’t done anything to harm your family.”
Xander slightly smiled, brightening his eyes as he looked at Isabel.
“These oranges are quite good, Isabel said, putting the oranges in her pocket.
“You can take them all,” Xander said.
Are you not going to eat it?”
