Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 151

Finley's expression changed.

Judging by the looks on their faces, have they come to kick me while I am down?

He pushed the thought aside, steadied himself, and hoped to convince them to help.

Then he stated, "Ashley couldn't take the shock—she tried to end her life. I really don't know what to do. She kept calling your name. I had no one else to turn to."

Isabelle replied flatly, "What happened between Ashley and Damian is over. If she can't move on, that's her problem. If you're here about that, then I'm sorry—I won't just hand him over. He's my man."

He's my man. That's my Isabelle.

Damian smiled faintly.

His hand slipped from her shoulder and intertwined with hers.

Isabelle went on, "If Damian helps her now, what's next? Every time she misses him, is she going to pull this again? Wear away at what we have?"

Finley was stunned. He hadn't expected Isabelle to think so far ahead.

He said, "Isabelle, no! It's just... Ashley's in a bad way. If she can just get through this, she won't bother you again. Please—she's still your sister."

Isabelle scoffed, "You were never my father. So she's not my sister."

She opened her phone and pulled up a file—the financial records of an oil company.

A single glance was all it took. Finley's legs went weak.

He owned several companies, but his oil venture had been struggling for years. That month, instead of visiting Caroline, he'd gone into hiding from debt collectors.

Ashley wasn't sent abroad for education—she was sent to lie low.

Her mother, Hannah Debose, couldn't bear the harassment from loan sharks and jumped to her death.

Damian hadn't seen what was on Isabelle's screen. He didn't understand why Finley looked so terrified.

Still, this woman... she cried all night, but those tears weren't wasted.

Woke up with a slight fever, and now she's firing on all cylinders.

And here I am, feeling like a backdrop.

For the first time, Damian felt useless.

"You... How did you get this?" Finley stumbled back two steps.

Several high-ranking officials were mixed up in this. They'd buried the scandal deep—if it ever came out, they'd all go down.

How did Isabelle find out?

Was the Cross family helping her?

But the Cross family has a clean reputation. Why would they take such a risk for her?

"How I got it doesn't matter," Isabelle cut in coldly. "Listen to me. What happened between you and my mother was settled long ago.

"If Ashley kills herself over this, that's on you. You're weak, selfish, and you wanted it all—this is what you deserve."

She wouldn't let anyone speak ill of Caroline.

This is all my fault...
