Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 831

She couldn't be the main culprit who directly harmed Serena, nor could she be the one who directly hurt her grandparents.

All the wrong things she had done were based on her love for them, which was why she had been manipulated by someone with an ulterior motive into making mistakes.

But listening to these words.

Catherine Vinton only felt a deeper sense of disappointment.

"Isabella," she began, "Agnes raised you single-handedly. Given that bond, she is practically half a mother to you. Are you really shoving all the blame onto her right now just to shirk responsibility?"

Isabella Lancaster stiffened, biting her lower lip. "I-I'm telling the truth. I have proof on my phone..."

Catherine turned her head away, unwilling to look at her any longer.

This wasn't just bad behavior.

This was cold-blooded. It was a complete annihilation of basic human decency.

"Fine, just fine!" Seeing his wife growing more heartbroken, Edward Lancaster immediately raised his hand and looked toward the side. "Bring her in."

The side door opened.

Two bodyguards escorted a person into the room.

Her hair was a mess, her face was bruised, and her complexion was ashen. It was obvious she had been detained for a while.

Looking at the young heiress she had nurtured from a baby, the girl she had pampered and cherished, who was now pinning every crime on her just to save her own skin.

Agnes felt a suffocating wave of despair.

But seeing Isabella's miserable state, crying until she was practically fainting.

"She didn't know anything. She is innocent. I tricked her..."

Agnes pleaded until she was hoarse, desperately taking every single ounce of blame upon herself.

Even at this stage.

Her only thought was to preserve Isabella's life of wealth and privilege.

Because this was her own flesh and blood.

This was the daughter she had committed every evil deed in the world just to elevate.

But when Isabella heard her take all the blame, she didn't feel a shred of gratitude; instead, she let out a massive sigh of relief.

Inwardly, she thought that this wretched old woman had finally made herself useful after dragging her down so much.

Isabella immediately spoke up, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, did you hear that? She admitted it herself! She manipulated me, she brainwashed me from a young age! I'm innocent..."
