Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 456

This was their goal all along!

Hope died within Isabella. Her red, tear-filled eyes stared unwaveringly at her family as she asked, her voice choked with sobs, “If… if Serena were the one who lost… would you just stand by and watch her suffer this humiliation? Would you force her to honor the contract?”

“No.”

Old Mr. Lancaster, who had been silent until now, spoke in a heavy tone.

That single word struck Isabella’s heart like a bolt of lightning.

Her face went ashen with devastating, heart-wrenching pain.

The hand clutching Catherine’s arm fell away, limp and defeated.

She staggered back two steps, a picture of misery.

Seeing her shattered and lost expression, Old Mr. Lancaster continued in that same heavy voice, “What I mean is… I trust Serena. She wouldn’t lose.”

Isabella’s eyes widened in shock.

She snapped her head up.

She looked at the expressions on her family’s faces.

It was only then that she finally understood.

Given how much they doted on Serena, if it had been a duel she was certain to lose, they would have stepped in to stop it long ago.

How could they have possibly allowed the bet to proceed?

They knew all along…

Serena had this level of skill at the piano, this kind of ability.

That was why they let things escalate to this point.

They knew… Serena had the power to utterly crush her.

Yet they allowed Karen to provoke Serena and propose the bet.

They watched coldly as she made a fool of herself, like a performing clown.

They watched coldly as she walked step by step into a pit of her own digging, with no way to climb out.
