Chapter 55 Isabella, the Wildcat, Unleashed
Frederick suddenly had a thought and asked, "You didn't want to get close to him, so what about Dennis? Are you getting close to Albert in order to get close to Dennis?"
Isabella shook her head frantically. "I happened to help Albert! I coincidentally encountered him having an epileptic seizure on the street, and out of instinct, I assisted him. Later, the Perry family posted a missing person notice, and I was worried about his health, so I went to the hospital to check on him, which led to our connection.
"Before this, I had no idea who Dennis was! Later, Dennis's father took me to Dennis himself. If it weren't for him taking the initiative, I wouldn't have known about Dennis's existence, let alone meeting him.
"You can check on everything I've said. I didn't lie!"
Frederick looked at her, feeling a bit bored.
After a while, he impatiently said, "Let her go upstairs to pick up the child."
Elliot quickly said, "Your son is now at the entrance of the arcade on the third floor. You should go find him yourself."
After saying that, the call was suddenly disconnected.
Isabella's eyes were swollen, and she stumbled as she ran up to the third floor.
At the entrance of the arcade, Isabella felt a wave of sadness as she saw Paul. She hurried forward, embraced Paul, and began to sob loudly.
"Mommy... Mommy..." Paul cried.
"Paul, you scared Mommy to death. Mommy thought I had lost you. I'm sorry, it was Mommy's fault. I didn't take good care of you. Are you hurt? Did they harm you?" Isabella asked worriedly.
Paul shook his head quickly,
"A man suddenly picked me up. I struggled for a while. He said he had mistaken me for someone else and didn't mean to pick me up. Then he said you will come find me and asked me to wait for you here, telling me not to run around."
"What man?"
"He was tall and slim, very kind. He even bought me some candy to eat. But I listened to Mommy's words, so I didn't eat it because I can't eat things from strangers."
"Good boy, Paul, were you scared?"
"Fortunately, that man did not harm me or scold me. He was very kind."
Isabella held Paul tightly, still feeling scared.
The phone rang, it was Freya calling. Three people bought milkshakes and came back, but they didn't see Isabella and Paul on the first floor.
Isabella said, "Paul and I are on the third floor."
“Why did you guys go to the third floor? Let's just take the elevator to the seventh floor. Let's meet at the entrance of the movie theater on the seventh floor.”
"Okay."
After Isabella's emotions stabilized slightly, she gently said to Paul, "Since the man didn't harm you, it's possible that he really made a mistake. Let's not tell Hugo and Justin about this."
She didn't want Hugo and Justin to be involved in anything related to that wild man.
"Okay." Paul obediently nodded.
"Good boy." Isabella was just about to carry Paul upstairs when suddenly she saw Douglas!
Douglas wore a floral shirt paired with a white suit. The first two buttons of the shirt were intentionally left open, revealing his collarbone and chest, exuding a sophisticated yet playful vibe.
In addition, he had a pair of charming eyes. Whenever he squinted, his charismatic aura would fully manifest.
He was just a handsome rogue!
Isabella didn't like this type of man.
'Not to be mean, but I just don't feel like interacting with him more. I felt like he isn't the serious type,' she thought.
She preferred people like Daniel or Elijah or Elliot, at least their eyes look clean and sincere.
As for Dennis's father, she dislikes him even more.
It seems like he had an unhappy life in his past life, so in this life, he always wears a cold expression.
Like a walking freezer, able to freeze everything wherever it goes!
Out of respect for Lily, Isabella did not show any dissatisfaction towards Douglas. She simply politely asked, "Do you need something?"
Douglas squinted his eyes, grinned, and said, "Don't worry, what happened today was done by my ex-girlfriend. I really had no idea at all. I even took her and her friends to the police station. That proves I'm innocent, right?"
Isabella felt speechless.
Douglas added, "I am a good person, you know."
Isabella's mouth twitched slightly. 'If he really was a good person, would he say such things?' she thought.
His words were not something a serious person would say.
His words, on the contrary, made him seem less like a good person.
Isabella didn't want to chat with him anymore. "Today's events are already in the past. Do you have anything else? If not, goodbye, and I hope we never meet again."
"Yes, there is something else."
"You go ahead."
"Eric was just joking with you earlier, nobody stole any children. Don't be afraid, don't overthink it, and there's no need to call the police."
Isabella exclaimed, "What do you mean?!"
"Honestly, it was Eric who took the kids. He was just teasing you."
Isabella's breathing became irregular. "How did you know?"
"I have been with him all along, but I did remind him not to scare you. However, he just wouldn't listen to me."
Isabella gritted her teeth. "Why should I believe what you're saying?"
"Hmm? Do I look like I'm lying? If you don't believe me, you can go ask him. Look, he's still in the coffee shop's private room, he hasn't left yet."
Isabella gritted her teeth and glanced towards the coffee shop, not saying a word, before turning around and walking away with Paul.
She didn't go to find Frederick, but instead entered the elevator and went to the seventh floor to find Freya.
"Mommy, are you upset?" Paul asked cautiously.
"No, you suddenly disappeared just now, and I was a bit worried about you, so I was nervous."
Right now, she was trembling all over, absolutely furious!
She knew it!
She knew!
All the questions were about that wild man, so it was definitely related to him!
After Isabella took Paul to the seventh floor, she handed him over to Freya and whispered to Freya, "You go inside with the kids first, make sure they wear masks, especially Hugo and Justin. Don't let the wild man spot them. He's also in the mall now. I need to talk to him about something. I'll come find you later."
Seeing her nervous look, Freya quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, I can handle it myself. Just help me take care of the kids, and I'll talk to you when I come back."
"Sure, just give me a call if you need anything."
"Got it."
Isabella went downstairs, while Freya ushered the children into the movie theater.
Isabella headed straight to the coffee shop Douglas mentioned and barged into the private room.
Frederick and Elliot were both there, along with Douglas.
Isabella clenched her small fist tightly, like a little wildcat with raised fur, staring straight at Frederick.
"Paul was taken away just now. Was it you who called to interrogate me?!" she bellowed.
Frederick furrowed his brow and said nothing.
"Don't play dead. If you were a real man, you would speak up! You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it. What kind of man are you?!" Isabella continued to berate.
Frederick's face darkened, while Douglas wore a look of amusement.
Elliot glanced at Douglas and immediately understood. 'I am truly speechless. Frederick had Lily scold him, and he retaliated so quickly!' he thought.
'Without asking, just by his expression, you could tell he was the one who told Isabella. He just said he was going to the restroom! He was such a good friend, yet he betrayed Frederick!'
Elliot quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation. "Ms. Beniere, please calm down. This is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Dare to do but not admit it, huh? That's all the ability you have, only daring to show off behind one's back. Coward, scoundrel!"
Frederick said angrily, "It was me who did it, so what? What are you going to do about it?"
Isabella was even more angry when she saw him admit so boldly. Her breathing also became unstable due to anger.
She clenched her fist, breathing heavily, staring fixedly at Frederick.
"It's you... Well, well, well."
Isabella trembled, and suddenly… She threw herself at Frederick!
