Chapter 110: Getting Back Together?
Isabella turned around and saw the bowl of tonic smashed against the wall.
Matthew was grabbing the maid by her hair, pressing her onto the ground, and slamming her head repeatedly.
Matthew's face was filled with rage with fierce eyes, as if he was holding a ball instead of a human head.
Isabella was stunned by the scene, standing there for several minutes, unable to react.
It wasn't until Emma rushed out with a few servants that they managed to restrain the crazed Matthew.
The maid's head was already bleeding profusely.
Isabella even saw a handful of hair in Matthew's hand.
The doctor came and gave Matthew a sedative injection, which finally calmed him down.
Emma closed the door and walked up to the pale-faced Isabella, saying, "Bella, what on earth happened? Why did Matthew suddenly go mad?"
Clearly, Matthew's condition had been improving these past few days, and his emotions had stabilized a lot.
Isabella bit her lip. "I don't know either. I just said I didn't want to drink the tonic, and then this happened."
Thinking about what had just happened, Isabella still felt a bit scared.
Afterwards, Emma suggested arranging a driver to take her back.
Isabella refused.
She walked along the roadside, thinking about what had just happened, and couldn't help but squat down to vomit.
Behind her came the sound of a car.
A black car pulled up behind her, the door opened, and someone got out, footsteps stopping behind her.
Isabella thought it was the security from the villa area coming to chase her away, so she said without turning her head, "Sorry, I'll leave right away."
But the next second, her arm was grabbed by someone, and she was pulled up.
Isabella stumbled and barely managed to stand, only to see that it was Seb.
"What are you doing here?" Seb's gaze swept over her pale face as he asked.
Isabella didn't expect to run into him here. After a moment of surprise, she replied, "I just left the Landon family."
Seb's face stiffened, his hand gripping her arm stiffened, and then he let go, saying ambiguously, "Have you reconciled with Matthew?"
"No," Isabella instinctively replied.
She looked up and met Seb's deep and unreadable eyes.
Isabella's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips, saying no more.
As they stood there in a stalemate, Seb's phone rang.
He answered it. Vanessa's voice came through the receiver. "Seb, have you arrived?"
Seb frowned and said, "Something came up. I'll have Jack pick you up."
"Alright then."
After hanging up, Seb said to Isabella, "You don't look well. Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Landon."
Isabella turned to leave, but Seb grabbed her arm once more.
"Get in the car," he said in a tone that brooked no argument, opening the car door.
Isabella didn't want to get in. She had finally drawn a clear line between them, so getting into his car now didn't seem right.
But just then, another car approached from behind.
Seb's car was parked by the roadside. There was clearly plenty of room to pass, but the other car stopped right behind Seb's.
It even honked its horn.
Afraid of being scolded, Isabella had no choice but to get in the car.
Strangely, as soon as she got in, the car behind them stopped honking.
Seb glanced at her and said, "Buckle up."
Isabella silently fastened her seatbelt.
The car started. Suddenly, a call from Zaire appeared on Seb's car display screen.
He casually pressed the answer button, and the call was on speaker. Thus, Zaire's voice echoed throughout the car. "So, how do you plan to thank me?"
Seb focused on driving, saying, "I don't plan to."
Zaire chuckled, and two honks could be heard from his side.
Almost simultaneously, two honks came from behind them.
Isabella turned around in surprise and saw that the car was still following closely behind Seb's.
She slowly realized that the person in the car behind them was Zaire.
Seb abruptly hung up the phone.
Then, as they were about to exit the villa area, he signaled a right turn but suddenly swerved left.
By the time Zaire realized it, he had already been left behind. Holding the steering wheel, he laughed and called out, "Well, Seb, you really are something!" With that, he drove away leisurely.
Just after their two cars left, another car slowly drove out of the villa area.
Inside the car, Laura was driving, and Vanessa was in the passenger seat.
"What's going on?" Laura asked, full of curiosity. "Isabella has already resigned. Why is she here?"
Vanessa frowned, her face still calm, saying, "Maybe it was a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Laura found it hard to believe. "It seemed like they planned to meet here. Vanessa, didn't you say Mr. Landon was coming to pick you up? Why did he suddenly have something come up, and Isabella just happened to be on his way? Even if it was a coincidence, why would Mr. Landon hold Isabella's hand and pull her into the car? Vanessa, are you sure you've dealt with Isabella?"
Vanessa's face turned ugly upon hearing these words.
She bit her lip hard and finally said, "I trust Seb."
Laura shrugged. "Alright, so where are we going now? Do you want to go home or come to the bar with me?"
Vanessa didn't feel like going home.
Going back would mean facing Zoe.
She was already tired of trying to please Zoe every day.
"Let's go to the bar."
Laura drove to the bar, but after a few drinks, she received a call and left in a hurry.
Vanessa was left alone, drinking at the bar. On her way to the restroom, she stumbled and bumped into Charlie. Charlie immediately started cursing, "Can't you see where you're going?"
Before he could finish, they recognized each other.
"Ms. Field?"Charlie said.
Charlie quickly changed to a fawning expression. "What a coincidence, Ms. Field, are you here to have fun too?"
Vanessa frowned, finding Charlie somewhat familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen him before.
She asked, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Charlie," he introduced himself.
Vanessa shook her head. "You must be mistaken. I don't know you."
Upon saying that, she tried to leave.
Charlie stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Although Vanessa wasn't particularly beautiful, her skin was cool and well-maintained, making it feel quite pleasant.
Charlie felt a surge of excitement as he touched her.
Vanessa, however, found it disgusting and pulled her hand back, saying coldly, "If you touch me again, I'll call for help!"
"No! " Charlie quickly put on a smile. "You don't remember me? It's like family not recognizing family."
"Psycho!" Vanessa didn't want to deal with him.
Seeing her about to leave, Charlie hurriedly said, "I'm Isabella's brother-in-law!"
Vanessa paused, squinting at Charlie, and a smile appeared on her face slowly. "So it's you!"
