Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 833

"You raised Isabella, you love her, I can understand that."

"But does loving her give you the right to hurt my biological daughter?"

"Does loving her give you the right to commit crimes?"

With every word Catherine spoke, Agnes's face grew paler.

Her lips quivered uncontrollably, but she was entirely unable to argue back.

Catherine turned to Isabella, her words sharp and deliberate. "Sign it, or... I call the cops."

"We have full evidence of everything you two have done. Neither of you is getting away with this."

"Either sign it, or both of you go to jail, and we sever the adoption legally from there."

Those icy words sent violent shivers down Isabella's spine.

She stared at the agreement, then looked up, her throat feeling incredibly tight. "Mom... do you really have to push me this far?"

Catherine didn't reply; she only glanced up at Edward. "Call the cops."

Isabella knew it then.

There was no room for negotiation left.

The Lancaster family was dead set on cutting ties with her.

Sign it, and the ties are severed now.

Don't sign it, go to prison, and the ties are still severed.

She had no way out.

Watching the man she had called 'Dad' for twenty years actually pick up his phone, fully prepared to dial the police.

Isabella grabbed the pen, trembling. "I'll sign... I'll sign!"

Through blurred, teary eyes, she stared at the agreement.

Under the guidance of the lawyer standing by, she signed her name.

Stroke by stroke.

It felt as if she were slicing off her own flesh, the pain so suffocating she could barely breathe.
