Serena Sterling!
It’s all because of Serena Sterling’s arrival!
Zelda Willow quickly stepped forward and hugged Iris Crawford, pretending to comfort her, "Iris, don’t think about it anymore, you’re getting a headache again. That’s enough for today, you should go rest first."
At this mont, Beryl ca over to support Iris Crawford, "Miss, let’s go upstairs to rest."
Iris Crawford was already having a headache, and when Beryl approached, she seed to faintly hear a string of bells. This sound imdiately made her feel a splitting headache, and she could no longer think clearly.
Iris Crawford’s ntal state was too poor, her face as pale as paper, and she let Beryl help her upstairs weakly.
Zelda Willow watched Iris Crawford’s figure disappear into the bedroom, then she quickly left the place.
Outside, Zelda Willow felt a deep sense of crisis. She hadn’t expected Serena Sterling to get involved with the Crawford family’s affairs, and the secret hidden in the Crawford family for decades seed to be on the verge of being uncovered.
Moreover, with Serena’s return, Zane was probably coming too. Zelda Willow really didn’t want her son to get involved with Serena Sterling again.
All these years, Zelda Willow had been a good mother. No matter what she did in secret, she never told Zane Crawford. Zane’s hands remained clean, untouched by the rights and wrongs of the Crawford family.
Zelda Willow took out her phone and began contacting that mastermind.
Zelda knew that young Caden Crawford was a twisted genius, very skilled in tracking and positioning, so she didn’t dare contact the mastermind lightly.
Right now, she didn’t dare to call, fearing to leave any clues that could be traced. She only sent a text ssage.
The text ssage was very safe; once read, it would be smashed and deleted, impossible to trace.
Zelda Willow sent a ssage saying there’s a change in the situation.
Very soon, with a "ding," the mastermind’s reply ca: Iris Crawford won’t live for more than two days, don’t worry.
Zelda Willow glanced at it, and the ssage disappeared.
Iris Crawford won’t live for more than two days...
Zelda Willow’s pupils shrank. Although she wasn’t fond of Iris Crawford, Iris was still part of the Crawford family. One wrong move could shake the entire family, yet this mastermind intended to... make a move on Iris?
Actually, Zelda Willow didn’t know who the mastermind was. Years ago, the mastermind contacted her first, revealing Chase Sullivan and Isabelle Willow’s childhood relationship to her, leading to the subsequent events.
Zelda Willow had never t this mastermind. The mastermind was very mysterious and powerful, and this behind-the-scenes power seed to have infiltrated their surroundings for a long ti, omnipresent. When Zelda Willow most needed help, they extended an olive branch, so she cooperated with them.
Now the mastermind was making a move on Iris Crawford. Zelda Willow was quite alard, fearing this ti it would cause too much trouble, and she wouldn’t be able to extricate herself.
Zelda Willow sent another ssage saying I don’t want to be exposed.
"Ding" went the response from the other side, reassuring her: two birds with one stone, besides Iris Crawford, we’ll also take care of Isabelle Willow for you.
Take care of Isabelle Willow?
Zelda Willow was instantly tempted. She hated Isabelle Willow too much because Isabelle took everything from her. How wonderful it would be if Isabelle Willow didn’t exist in this world.
Now her greatest wish was about to be fulfilled, and Zelda Willow’s eyes lit up. Her inner malice and greed devoured everything.
Zelda Willow strutted off in her high heels with pride.
...
Isabelle Willow slowly opened her eyes and looked around blankly. Where was she now?
She was still in Jude Crawford’s villa, in the guest room.
It was already the next morning, and the brilliant morning light seeped through the drapes, casting warmth into the room.
How did she fall asleep here again?
Feeling groggy, Isabelle Willow sat up. At this mont, she felt an ache all over her body, as if she had been run over by a wheel.
This feeling was not unfamiliar; after her last spring dream, she had felt the sa way. Isabelle was no stranger to these sensations and knew exactly what they implied.
Isabelle Willow rembered the dream from last night: Jude Crawford entered her room, undressed her, and then...
The dream felt too real. The first ti she had a dream like that, she was unsure, but having it a second ti made her certain sothing was amiss.
After all, considering Jude Crawford’s character, he was the kind who could do anything to her.
She rembered that last night she had drunk a cup of tea. Had Jude Crawford ordered soone to drug her tea and then...
Isabelle Willow was furious. She must confront him about this. If he really did that to her, it was simply... despicable and disgraceful!
After washing up, Isabelle quickly left the room. Not seeing Jude Crawford, she asked a maid, "Where’s your master?"
"Ma’am, the master is in the bedroom."
Isabelle imdiately headed to his bedroom, storming over with anger. She was thinking that as soon as she got in there, she would give him a hard slap. If he dared to think she was just as easy to bully as she was years ago, he’d be dead wrong.
Just as she reached the bedroom door, Isabelle’s steps halted because inside the bedroom, besides Jude Crawford, there was soone else—a doctor at that.
A doctor in a white coat spoke respectfully, "Mr. Crawford, I just examined you. Your physical flaw has not improved; the deadly injury from years ago truly hurt you. Now we have developed a new drug; take it and see how it works over ti."
Outside the door, Isabelle was speechless.
She had been so angry but suddenly stopped. She seed to have forgotten a very critical issue: Jude Crawford couldn’t perform!
Now the doctor was here, and it was obvious that he’s been treating this issue for years, though it seed to have had little effect.
He couldn’t perform, so it was impossible for him to have assaulted her. Isabelle felt embarrassed.
Then what about those spring dreams she had?
He hadn’t done anything; those dreams were rely her imagination. She had actually dreamt of such intimate monts with Jude Crawford and then ca to confront him.
Isabelle’s face "thud" turned hot, burning with embarrassnt. Generally reserved and shy, she now just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
At that mont, the door suddenly opened, and Jude Crawford’s steady and upright figure appeared before her, "What are you doing standing here? Looking for ?"
Jude Crawford ca.
Isabelle Willow looked up, imdiately eting his deep and narrow eyes. Now he was looking at her with an open and calm expression, resembling an innocent good man.
"I..." Isabelle had prepared countless words, but now she couldn’t say a single one. She didn’t know what to say.
Jude Crawford looked at her and suddenly curved his thin lips, "Why are you blushing?"
