Chapter 887 Endure His Revenge
Appalled, Isabella hastily shifted backward. However, Hugo did not let her go far. He strode over and grabbed her hand. With one tug, a clear sound echoed in the quiet suit, followed by Isabella’s ear-piercing scream.
There was nothing Isabella could think of but the pain. She felt as if she was about to die. Alas, Hugo ignored her pain and grabbed her other hand, twisting it harshly with a crack. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
In her agony, she rolled on the ground, but the two men in the room did not bat an eyelid at that.
Hugo then grabbed her leg, and Isabella gasped in shock. She quickly prostrated herself before him and cried out, “Hugo, I know I’ve done wrong now! Please don’t break my leg! It’s true that I set Oscar up, but I never thought of hurting him. I just love him! He’s fine now, isn’t he? Please don’t break my leg. I won’t ever do this again!”
However, Hugo only spared her a glance before breaking her leg.
Isabella could no longer make any sounds from the throes of pain she was enduring. Despair was the only emotion in her eyes. She had never thought that someone could be this merciless. Despite everything, she had been by his side for a year, and she had been playing the role of his fiancée well. In fact, she had even thought about how many children she would bear for Oscar and how she would be the best assistant to him. She only wanted Oscar to love her. His love was all she needed to stay faithful to him.
Even if Oscar were to lose his mental functions and become intellectually challenged, she would still be willing to provide for him. The one and only thing she wanted from him was for him to stay by her side willingly. Whether it was a foolish move or not, the effort Isabella had put into Oscar was certainly no lesser than Amelia’s. Yet, the hatred Oscar had for her was immeasurable.
She inched closer to the side of the bed with her lone functioning leg and stared at Oscar with a pale face and tearful eyes.
“Oscar, I’m at fault for setting you up, but my feelings for you are genuine. I’ve never thought of hurting you. Now that you’ve regained your memories, at most, we’ll become strangers again,” Isabella muttered weakly.
She thought that, as long as a woman showed her weakness and fragility, she would be able to trigger a man’s protective instincts.
Unfortunately, she did not know Oscar well enough.
If Oscar were to show mercy to other women, he would no longer be Oscar Clinton.
When Isabella saw Oscar walking toward her, a ray of hope flashed past her eyes. She thought that Oscar was starting to feel reluctant about hurting her. But right as he walked over to her, he lifted his foot and stomped on Isabella’s unharmed leg. A pang of pain traveled up her leg at that.
Oscar then took a step back, looking downward at her stark naked body with a cold gaze.
Isabella lifted her head to look at Oscar. In the next second, she passed out from the unbearable pain.
“She’s as sturdy as a roach, Boss. I can’t believe she managed to stay conscious until now. A woman like her is quite terrifying. Not only does she have a wicked heart, but she would also take any opportunity to avenge herself. I think we should strike her down to the point she can never counterattack,” Hugo said.
Oscar’s eyes darkened as he nodded.
He used to think that Isabella was incapable of stirring any massive trouble, and that was why he had let her do as she pleased. His carelessness was what made her plan work, so he was not going to let her have a chance to start over after this. He wanted to let her have a taste of what it felt to be in a living hell.
“Hugo, send her to the hospital. Remember to make sure that the doctor keeps her alive,” Oscar said.
Hugo nodded.
Oscar left the suite and went back to the office. When he arrived, he told his men to withdraw the investment in Walker Group and began an attack on them.
When Noah found out from the secretary that Clinton Corporations had retracted all of the investment in the company, he paled. He called Oscar at once, but his multiple calls went unanswered.
It was then Noah realized that things were bad.
Unsurprisingly, just as Noah thought about calling Isabella, he received a call from the hospital.
Upon hearing the nurse informing him that Isabella had been hospitalized, he turned paler and hurried out of the office to the hospital with his jacket in his hand.
The moment he arrived at the hospital and entered the ward, he saw Hugo standing at the side of the hospital bed.
More colors drained from Noah’s face, and he hesitated for a moment before walking over.
“Hugo, how’s my sister? Why is she suddenly in the hospital? Where’s Oscar? Does he know that she’s hurt? I tried calling him, but he didn’t pick up,” Noah said.
Hugo turned around and gave Noah a half-suppressed smile.
“I’m sorry to say this, Mr. Walker, but Boss was the one who ordered these injuries to be inflicted on Ms. Walker. She has foolishly set him up. The Walkers have been receiving benefits from the Clinton family for a whole year. These injuries on Ms. Walker are but interest collected by Boss,” Hugo uttered.
Noah’s expression turned grim, and the smile on his face stiffened.
“Hugo, what are you trying to say?” he asked, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
“It is what you think it is, Mr. Walker. Since the Walkers had the guts to set Boss up, you must have the courage to endure his revenge. Take your time talking about your feelings with your sister. I hope you won’t be pointing fingers at each other only when you’re out wandering in the streets,” Hugo said in disdain.
Noah’s hands slowly clenched into fists.
Hugo then averted his gaze and left the room. Still, he sent one of his men to tail Noah.
Noah stared at the still-unconscious Isabella as his heart raced.
He had thought of currying favor with Isabella because she was Oscar’s fiancée. But now, all he wanted to do to her was strangle her to death.
Nevertheless, before he could think of how he should execute that plan, the company’s secretary called him to ask him to return to the company, for the company’s shares were plummeting.
Noah no longer had the time to think about Isabella as he hurried away from the ward. However, he still had a shred of brotherly love for Isabella. He called their mother, telling her about Isabella’s hospitalization and asking her to visit Isabella.
After ending the call, Noah rushed to the company as quickly as he could before diving right into work.
With Oscar’s support, Walker Group had developed quickly that year, and their funds had been hefty too. Still, they were not as powerful as Clinton Corporations. That was why when Oscar’s company deliberately oppressed Walker Group, Walker Group’s shares fell like a skydiver without a parachute. In half a day, it almost hit rock bottom.
Noah’s brows furrowed even tighter as he looked at the charts on his computer.
He promptly held a meeting among the executives to come up with a way to solve the crisis. However, even after hours of discussion, none could come up with anything.
In his anxiety, Noah lost his temper. Alas, there was still nothing he could do, so he dismissed them all.
Once everyone was gone, Stephanie called.
Noah’s eyes lit up when he saw Stephanie’s name on his phone screen. His foul mood immediately improved as well.
When he picked up the call, he was greeted by Stephanie’s irritated voice.
“Noah Walker, get your ass back home right now! I need to talk to you!” With that, she hung up.
Noah was bewildered, but Stephanie was his only savior now. He dared not take his time to meet Stephanie, for that might enrage her, and if that were to happen, he would lose everything.
