"Mom, you can't do this!"
Corey Johnsons rushed to her, reaching out to grab what she had swallowed, pleading with tears, "What did you just swallow? Spit it out now!"
"Poison... I, I won't spit it out..."
Ruth Upperton seemed not to have completely swallowed it, causing her speech to stutter. Her vicious gaze locked onto Isabella Lindsey, "Unless this wild girl promises me to leave Julian, or I will die..."
That sentence was surprisingly fluent!
As if premeditated.
By now.
Anyone with clear vision could see she had no real intention of dying. The talk of becoming a ghost to keep Isabella from entering the Johnson Family was all bluff.
Her true intention was to use the threat of death to force Isabella to leave Julian!
Since there was no way to break through with Julian, she could only target the wild girl.
After all, every woman has a soft moment, no matter how cold and extraordinary Isabella might be, she's still a woman, isn't she?
In an instant.
