Chapter 528 Are You Going to Cast a Spell on Brandon? Isabella's voice cut through the air, sharp and annoyed. "Madison, you're on my case again. What's your deal?" "Seriously? It's all on you! You said yes, then bailed, makinglook like a fool in front of Kelvin!" Madison shot back.
"Maybe 'cause you can't handle your own mess?" Isabella sneered.
Brandon's eyes darted to the speakers on the wall, stunned.
The sound system was killer; you could hear a pin drop in the next room! "The show's about to kick off," Kelvin said, pouring tea with this smooth, almost hypnotic grace. His hands were model-level perfect, making the teaware look like it belonged in a museum. "Sip stea and enjoy the ." He slid a teacup over to Brandon.
Brandon was no dummy.
When you're dealing with smart folks, a little nudge is all you need.
Brandon was starting to piece together why he got the invite today.
And Isabella? Clueless as ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah, I bailed. So what?" She was all bravado. "It's just bad luck that Lucy's mom is Penelope, the woman I despise more than anyone. I wish she'd drop dead and never show her face again!" Her words were dripping with venom.
Brandon's face was a rollercoaster of emotions.
He'd never seen this side of Isabella.
Totally blindsided.
In his mind, Isabella was always the sweet, understanding socialite, a darling in LA's elite circles.
Even with the staff, she was always kind, never losing her cool.
In the Walker family, Brandon trusted her to run the household, and she was never harsh with the help.
This virtuous, sensible, gentle Isabella was now wishing death on Penelope? "You catch that?" Kelvin said. "Keep listening; the real fireworks are just starting." "What did Isabella promise Madison and then flake on?" Brandon asked.
"Just keep listening, you'll get the full scoop," Kelvin replied.
Brandon tried to take a sip of tea to calm his nerves, but his hand was shaking like crazy.
He knew Kelvin didn't drag him here for a casual "show." What was coming next would blow his mind and shatter everything he thought he knew! Madison looked at Isabella's twisted face with pure disdain.
She used to think a rich girl like Isabella would have sclass.
But nope, sold story: jealousy and ugliness all over her face.
"What did Penelope do to make you hate her so much?" Madison asked. "Steal your thunder again? Or did she tick you off?" "Are you serious? You don't know? Well, that's not suprising. You've been living a luxurious life in King Manor, not giving a damn about me! Brandon wants to dumpand call off the engagement 'cause he's head over heels for Penelope!" Isabella spat out.
"What?" Madison gasped.
"Yeah," Isabella snarled, "no way I'm letting her have a good time! No way she's getting her daughter back!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Madison was floored.
Could Penelope really snag a top-tier guy like Brandon? No way! Isabella was on high alert, and Brandon was surrounded by a sea of beauties, brainiacs, and highly educated women. How could Penelope even stand a chance? "Then you gotta lift the spell on Lucy," Madison said, leaning in. "Think about it, Isabella. A divorced chick with a kid trying to marry Brandon? The Walker family would never go for it. But if you don't let Lucy snap out of it, she'll always be the Davis family's kid and won't leave with Penelope. Penelope will be free and might actually pull stricks to marry into the Walker family!" Madison was pushing hard.
After all, it didn't hurt her one bit! Plus, Kelvin was right there, listening in! Once she got Isabella and Lucy sorted, Madison would go to Kelvin, explain everything, and get back in his good graces.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was pregnant now, and for the kid's sake, Kelvin couldn't stay mad at her forever! "Keep dreaming! Even if Penelope had the best plastic surgery, she wouldn't marry Brandon!" Isabella snapped. "I'm not giving in that easy. This gain't over yet; who wins and who loses is still up in the air!" "What if Brandon insists on being with Penelope and wants to ditch you? What then?" Madison challenged. Isabella sneered, "How did you snag Kelvin? That's how I'll get Brandon!" Madison's eyes widened in realization.
Isabella was planning to cast a spell on Brandon! Isabella's smile turned smug, "Once it's cast, it lasts a lifetime. If it works, Brandon will only have eyes forforever. Other women? They won't even register!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience—all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Madison's mind was racing.
She wanted one of those spells too! "Yeah," Isabella said, "but this spell is tough to cast and needs my blood." She'd already talked to the sorcerer.
She knew the risks, but she was all in.
For Brandon, Isabella would do anything.
Not just her blood; even if it cost her ten years of her life, she'd pay up! Because life without Brandon was worse than death for Isabella! "You wanna cast a spell on Brandon," Madison said, eyeing her. "Fine, when the sorcerer comes, cast one and lift one; get it all done." "I said no lifting. Don't you get it?" Isabella shot back.
Madison leaned back, showing her true colors. "Isabella, we're partners, not boss and underling. We gotta e support each other to go far. In LA, you'll be Mrs. Walker, and I'll be Mrs. Davis. Together, everyone will revolve around us and kiss our feet! But now, I'm asking you to do this one thing that doesn't hurt you, and you're backing out! If we fall out, neither of us wins!" Isabella wasn't easy to deal with either.
She held her ground, even higher than Madison. "You're just trying to get rid of Lucy, scared she'll take your kid's place. Madison, think bigger, look further!" "What do you mean?" Madison was puzzled.
"Lucy's a girl. She won't have a chance to inherit the Davis family fortune, which is worth billions. Just let her stay, call you mommy, and live with you. Her future will be in your hands!" Isabella said.
Isabella laughed, "From what she wears and eats to her schooling, career, and who she marries, you can control it all! Controlling someone's e. life and playing with it at will, isn't that satisfying? By then, Penelope will be heartbroken for her daughter but won't be able to do a thing, just watching from the sidelines, unable to change your decisions. Don't you think that's satisfying?"
