Chapter 1024 Bringing to Justice
Isabella barged right into Bronte's office. Bronte was at her desk, giving some instructions to an employee.
When Bronte saw Isabella storm in, she was shocked. She slowly stood up, her face blank, and said, "I can't believe you actually had the guts to show up!"
Bronte waved off the employee, who quickly bowed his head and left.
The young, pretty secretary bowed her head and said, "Ms. Langley, I'm sorry, this lady just barged in, and I couldn't stop her!"
Bronte, however, spoke gently to the secretary, "You're too refined to handle someone so reckless. It's not your fault. Go back to work."
"Yes, ma'am." The secretary, looking a bit confused, didn't dare say anything more and was about to leave.
But Isabella, raising her voice, said, "What? Afraid I'll spill your dirty secrets, so you're sending everyone away?"
Isabella was in a terrible mood. She'd been bottling up her grievances and anger for days, and today she was ready to unload all of it on Bronte.
She used to care about her image and didn't want to embarrass herself or Leon, but the more she endured, the more Bronte pushed her limits.
Since she had already filed for divorce and didn't want to live with Leon anymore, if he was dragging his feet, she would make him lose face today and see if he would still refuse to divorce.
So, Isabella came here today to settle the score with Bronte. Although she was momentarily angry, it was also a win-win situation, and it was time to teach this arrogant Bronte a lesson.
"I'm upfront; what do I have to hide? What a joke!" Bronte crossed her arms and said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Isabella stepped forward, grabbed Bronte's arm, and started dragging her out the door.
"What are you doing? You shrew!" Bronte struggled to shake off Isabella's hand.
But Isabella used all her strength this time and quickly dragged Bronte, who was wearing high heels, out of her office.
Standing in the bright and shiny hallway, Isabella pushed Bronte against the wall and raised her voice. "Didn't you say you were upfront? Tell everyone here about your dirty deeds!"
Bronte shook off Isabella's hand and sneered. "Leon and I are truly in love. What's there to hide? It's you he doesn't love anymore. Why are you still clinging on? I've never seen such a self-righteous woman!"
"You're the self-righteous one! You're in love with a married man and have no shame. You even think being a mistress is something to be proud of . I'm truly amazed!" Isabella pointed at Bronte's nose and scolded.
"Leon and I are truly in love. He only married you because you got pregnant behind his back. He never loved you. Actually, you're the mistress, not me!" Bronte argued, clutching her chest.
Hearing this, Isabella was so angry she laughed.
She had never seen someone so shameless, twisting the truth to make herself the victim.
The argument between Isabella and Bronte was loud, and soon many people were standing in the hallway.
The offices on this floor were all occupied by Johnson Corporation's top brass, and it didn't take long for the news about Bronte and Leon's relationship to spread like wildfire.
Isabella was at her breaking point; her anger was about to explode.
Bronte's twisted logic was unbearable. In a fit of rage, Isabella stepped forward and slapped Bronte hard on both cheeks.
The sound of the slaps echoed through the hallway.
Suddenly, a bunch of people with cameras appeared out of nowhere, snapping photos of Isabella and Bronte.
As the flashbulbs went off, Isabella was stunned.
She took a closer look at the people taking pictures. They looked like reporters from gossip magazines. She'd seen them chasing celebrities before, but why were they here snapping pics of her?
A cold sweat broke out on Isabella's back as she realized this was a setup.
Isabella looked up at Bronte, who was staring at her coldly, a slight smirk on her lips.
It hit Isabella like a ton of bricks. Bronte had been provoking her for days. Could she have lured her to Johnson Corporation on purpose?
Just then, a few executives came over to help the disheveled Bronte and scolded Isabella, "Who are you? Do you know where you are? How dare you hit someone here?"
"Security! Where's security? Get this crazy woman out of here!" one executive shouted.
Soon, several young men in security uniforms rushed into the hallway. Two of them grabbed Isabella's arms and started dragging her out.
"Let go of me! What are you doing?" Isabella naturally struggled.
Isabella's chest was already in a lot of pain. The security guards were rough, and their strong hands accidentally hit her chest, causing her face to contort in pain.
At this moment, Bronte, holding her face, walked up to the struggling Isabella and sneered. "Do you think you can hit me just like that? I'm telling you, I'm going to sue you! I'll make sure you go to jail."
Isabella said angrily, "Bronte, you're despicable! You've been provoking me all along, and this was your plan."
"You couldn't control your emotions; it's all your fault! Drag her out now!" Bronte ordered the security guards.
The two security guards, following orders, roughly dragged Isabella out.
Isabella's chest hurt so much that she couldn't struggle anymore. Just as she was about to give up, a voice full of authority suddenly came from the other end of the hallway.
"Stop right there!" At the sound of the voice, the security guards immediately let go of Isabella, and everyone in the hallway fell silent, staring at the floor.
Isabella looked up and saw a tall figure in a white shirt walking over.
Due to the backlight, Isabella couldn't see his face clearly, but she knew who it was by his silhouette.
Leon walked up to Isabella, saw her furrowed brows and pained expression, and gently asked, "Are you okay?"
Isabella shook her head.
The next moment, Leon looked up and scanned the crowd with a cold gaze. "What are you all doing?"
(I highly recommend a captivating book that I couldn't put down for three days and nights. It's incredibly engaging and a must-read. The title of the book is "After Car Sex with the CEO" You can find it by searching for it in the search bar.
Here is the synopsis of the book:
After being betrayed by my boyfriend, I immediately turned to his friend, a handsome and wealthy CEO, and slept with him.
I initially thought it was just an impulsive one-night stand, but I never expected that this CEO had been infatuated with me for a long time.
He had approached my boyfriend solely because of me...)
