Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 710

Beneath the table, Isabella's fingers tightened into a rigid fist.

"I was just frightened. That was a basic human survival instinct, entirely normal. It doesn't prove that I don't care about Dylan. Besides, everyone in Cresden City knows that Dylan and I grew up together. If you hadn't suddenly shown up, we would definitely be a couple by now. I'm going to end up with him!"

Hearing Isabella's frantic defense, Elena let out a mocking laugh.

Initially, that "childhood sweetheart" narrative had been exactly why Elena had never questioned Isabella's feelings for Dylan.

But after witnessing the incident yesterday, she was entirely certain: Isabella Bennett did not love Dylan.

Her relentless pursuit of Dylan was nothing more than a carefully crafted facade. Or more likely, an assignment handed down to her by whoever was pulling her strings from the shadows.

"Isabella, since I've already figured it out, do you really think I'm going to buy your excuses? You've hidden it exceptionally well over the years. You've managed to convince everyone since childhood that you were utterly devoted to Dylan. Keeping up an act like that for so long is honestly impressive. But no matter how much you try to talk your way out of it, you can't fool me anymore."

Beneath the table, Isabella's white-knuckled grip finally loosened.

"Fine! I'll admit it! I don't have feelings for Dylan Sinclair. But so what? What does that have to do with you? Shouldn't you be thrilled? And anyway, even if I don't romantically love him, that doesn't change my place in his heart. I am his untouchable first love. Back then, I was the one who gave him warmth and looked after him—things you could never do."

Elena scrutinized the woman sitting across from her. She had always prided herself on being an excellent judge of character.

But she realized she had severely underestimated this one.

Isabella Bennett possessed a terrifyingly deep and calculating mind. She was absolutely nothing like the superficial persona she projected.

Her supposed infatuation, the constant displays of jealousy—it had all been a meticulous performance.
