Chapter 115 I, Grandpa Big Brother, Will Back You Up
In such a situation, he still had the audacity to do such things... Sebastian is nothing but a beast!
Morning.
Isabella woke up and habitually opened her eyes, looking to the side.
Sebastian was already up.
She reached out and felt the cold sheets.
He was always like this, always getting up early, never delaying due to anything or anyone.
The only time he stayed in bed... was just because it was the weekend, not because of her.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Isabella felt a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Sebastian might have let Bob go.
She didn't hold much hope that Sebastian would lean towards her.
How could she compare to Lynda even the slightest bit?
Although she had only seen Lynda twice, she could tell that Sebastian looked at Lynda with love in his eyes.
After Isabella finished washing up, changing clothes, and applying light makeup, she chose a slightly bright shade of red lipstick to brighten her complexion.
As she walked downstairs, she saw an empty living room and didn't find Sebastian's figure.
It's not even eight o'clock yet... he wouldn't have gone to the company, would he?
Isabella looked left and right, and not only Sebastian, but she also didn't see any trace of the butler or the servants either!
Strange!
There was a commotion outside, and Isabella quickened her pace, walking out of the villa.
Before she could see the situation outside clearly, she heard Anthony's voice, "Isabella!"
In the garden, two cars were parked, and Sebastian and the butler stood with their backs to her.
Facing her was... old Master Lawrence, Sebastian, and Anthony.
Old Master Lawrence didn’t seem too pleased.
What happened?
Upon hearing Anthony's clear "Isabella," Sebastian turned his head towards her.
His expression was also somewhat displeased as he glanced at her and said, "Awake?"
Isabella felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly walked down the steps, complaining, "Grandfather and elder brother are here, why didn't you have someone tell me... this makes me look so negligent!"
She realized that Sebastian always blackened her image in front of the Lawrence family!
Before, Isabella didn't quite understand why, but now she knew... it was to make the Lawrence family dislike her and accept Lynda!
After the Lawrence family leave, Isabella must ask Sebastian about this properly!
Besides, the reason for old Master Lawrence's displeasure wouldn't just be because she overslept and didn't come to greet the elders, right?
Sebastian calmly replied, "You were tired last night, right? I wanted to let you sleep a little longer."
Isabella's face turned red with a "swish."
Anthony immediately burst into laughter, "Although I heard it, I don't understand anything... really, I don't understand a single thing."
This is not a simple matter...
Old Master Lawrence glanced meaningfully at Isabella, then leaned on his cane and walked inside, saying, "Let's go inside and talk. Do you want this old man to just stand outside?"
Isabella quickly went to support him, saying, "Grandfather, please come inside."
She and Anthony supported old Master Lawrence from both sides.
Anthony glanced at her, blinked, smiled happily, looking as if nothing was wrong.
But Isabella clearly saw that both the old master and Sebastian didn't look too good.
Why was Anthony so optimistic?
And why did the entire Lawrence family gather so early in the morning... what was it for?
The old man followed behind with his cane, refusing anyone's assistance and only accompanied by the butler.
Old Master Lawrence took a seat in the living room and patted Isabella's hand, saying, "How have you been recently, my daughter-in-law?"
"...I've been fine, Grandfather."
"I heard that you're working at Lawrence Group with Sebastian as his secretary?"
"Yes, Grandfather." Isabella obediently replied, "I wanted to gain some experience in company management, and Sebastian is an expert in this field. Besides, I had nothing else to do, so I went over."
Sebastian looked at her calmly...
If she had one-tenth of her current obedience on a regular basis, he would have shown her more sympathy.
But perhaps she would disdain that.
Then there was no need for him to give it either.
"Very well, very well," Old Master Lawrence smiled, "In the future, you can be Sebastian's right-hand woman. Or perhaps manage your Wallace family's company. Having many skills won't weigh you down."
"Yes, Grandfather, that's what I also think."
"It's good to see you two getting along so harmoniously. It pleases me," Old Master Lawrence looked at her, "However, when two people are together, there will inevitably be some minor conflicts or arguments."
Isabella smiled, "There isn't any. Sebastian and I have a good relationship, and we rarely... uh, almost never quarrel."
"I see..."
"Yes."
At this moment, Sebastian glanced at Isabella.
Sensing his gaze, Isabella also looked at him.
What? Why are you looking at me? Acting in front of our elders is also part of this contractual marriage, isn't it?
She also wanted to be a person of commitment.
Old Master Lawrence asked calmly, "So, daughter-in-law, you and Sebastian have been good since you got married? He hasn't mistreated you or anything?"
"Not at all, Grandfather. Didn't you say it yourself? If he mistreats me, I'll come to you and you'll definitely teach him a lesson. But I think he wouldn't dare to do that. He treats me well."
Sebastian clenched his fist with one hand and coughed quietly.
Isabella glanced at him.
Why is he coughing? Did she say something wrong?
"Isabella," Anthony spoke, "if there's anything, just say it. It's okay. Look, me, Grandfather, and big brother, we're all here, supporting you."
Just say it?
There seems to be some deeper meaning in these words.
Before she arrived, what did old Master Lawrence say to Sebastian?
While Isabella pondered over it, old Master Lawrence spoke, "Isabella, Isabella, you don't need to defend this wretched brat so much."
“Grandfather...”
"You've seen Lynda, haven't you?"
Isabella's expression froze. Did old Master Lawrence... know?
She suddenly realized he knew she had.
No wonder when she walked out, both old Master Lawrence and Sebastian had unpleasant expressions. When she lied just now, Sebastian looked at her and coughed as a reminder...
It turns out, she was acting blindly on her own while everyone else saw through it.
"Isabella," Anthony said, "I was also shocked and angry when I heard this news. However, brother just said that you two... last night. So I thought that Lynda doesn't really matter, right?"
Oh, so Anthony was acting like it was no big deal, thinking that she slept with Sebastian last night and their relationship was strong, unaffected by Lynda's interference!
Isabella couldn't express her bitterness and could only force a smile, saying, "What does Lynda even count for... You should ask your brother about this matter."
