Chapter 720: Killing Intent
Harry Hunter heard the last few sentences, suddenly raised his head, and swept a cold glance at Cora Ginger.She dares to compare herself to Isabella!
His Isabella never thought about marrying into any wealthy family!
Natalie Niles is no good, and neither is Cora Ginger!
The more Harry thought about it, the angrier he became. What kind of taste does Connor have, fancying such people!
His Isabella is still the best.
She doesn’t cry, doesn’t make a fuss, doesn’t trouble him, she’s diligent and ambitious. Even the doctor said it would be hard for her right hand to regain its previous agility, yet she practiced every day, and now it’s recovered well enough not to affect her painting.
Thinking about this, Harry glanced at Isabella’s hand, planning to peel shrimp for her later.
Her hand should just be used for drawing, and any other tasks that might hurt it, he’ll do for her!
Isabella had no idea that so many thoughts flashed through Harry’s mind in an instant. She didn’t know how to comfort Cora Ginger, so when she saw the waiter bring over dinner, she could only say, "Let’s eat something first!"
Cora Ginger took a bite of the dessert she ordered, but found it bitter in her mouth, and when she saw Harry Hunter cleaning his hands to peel shrimp for Isabella, it became even more bitter.
However, no matter how bitter it was, she hadn’t forgotten the purpose of inviting Isabella to dinner today.
"Isabella, since I can’t get in touch with Connor, can you help me get my brother out?"
Isabella was stunned: "How can I help?"
"I know Young Master Hunter knows people at the police station, he even knows the big leaders, as long as Young Master Hunter says a word..."
"Cora!"
Isabella sternly interrupted her: "I won’t ask him to do that. Besides, if your brother is released immediately, can you guarantee he won’t steal again?"
There’s no one left in Connor’s family, and it’s impossible to have bodyguards there every day. If Zack Ginger is released without any punishment, he will only become more audacious and steal more! He might even sell Connor’s house!
Cora Ginger didn’t expect Isabella to have such a surprisingly tough attitude!
She thought it was a sure thing this time!
A bit irritated, she stood up with a start: "Fine, if you won’t help me, I’ll find someone else!"
She picked up her small bag and walked out of the restaurant.
Isabella watched her back without saying a word to retain her.
She actually felt that sending Zack Ginger to jail might make Cora Ginger’s life a lot better. Most of their family’s debts were due to Zack Ginger’s gambling losses, and even the small house the Ginger Family managed to buy in the city a few years ago was lost to his gambling.
Harry Hunter’s face was fiercely cold, and his sharp gaze flicked over Cora Ginger’s back, filled with fury!
She dared to show attitude to his woman!
Isabella didn’t owe her anything, so why should she help her save that scoundrel brother!
A flash of murderous intent crossed Harry’s eyes.
Isabella saw the fierceness in his eyes and was startled: "Harry, don’t get any bad ideas!"
Harry’s gaze gradually softened: "Okay."
"Just now you..."
"It’s nothing, I just don’t like people disrespecting you, daring to throw a tantrum at you. She has no right!"
No one has the right!
Harry placed a peeled shrimp at her lips and said lightly, "Please don’t meet her again in the future. She doesn’t have good intentions when she comes to you."
Isabella ate the shrimp and couldn’t help but sigh. That’s it, now she truly has no friends.
Her situation is indeed quite dire.
If it weren’t for having Harry around, she’d suspect that she was the so-called jinx!
