Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 132

“A good dog doesn’t block the path.”

“...”

Adrian remained perfectly still.

Isabel couldn’t get past him. Knowing he was annoyed by her earlier sarcasm, she suppressed her anger and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Blackwell. Could you please move?”

Only then did Adrian turn and leave the kitchen.

Isabel immediately hurried out, walking quickly toward old Mrs. Blackwell’s room.

Adrian was about to follow her when his phone rang.

It was Daniel. “Mr. Blackwell, your mother has gone to the courthouse to file for divorce on your and Mrs. Blackwell’s behalf.”

*

Mrs. Blackwell worked fast.

She had disliked Isabel from the beginning.

Isabel’s act of forcing the marriage had only solidified her contempt.

And now, Isabel was constantly defying her, acting as if the Blackwell family owed her something.

Therefore, she wanted to expel Isabel from the Blackwell family immediately, to sever all ties.

Just as the official was about to apply the final seal to the divorce certificates, a hand reached out and took them.

“Hey! Who do you think you are?”

Mrs. Blackwell turned, fuming. “Do you have any idea who I—”

She stopped short when she saw Adrian’s face. “Adrian, you...”

But she quickly composed herself, a smile spreading across her face. “Adrian, you’re always so busy. Just leave this little thing to me. I’ll make sure it’s done right.”

Adrian handed the two certificates to Daniel, who was standing beside him. Then he picked up the completed forms from the desk, along with the divorce agreement between him and Isabel.

It was a new agreement.

She was to leave with nothing and waive her custody rights.

Isabel’s signature was at the bottom.

After helping old Mrs. Blackwell with her meal, Isabel took her blood sample to be tested.

She gave it to the person old Mr. Foster had sent, making sure to bypass anyone associated with Adrian.

Meanwhile, she needed to accelerate her progress on upgrading Y-2.

Although she didn’t know the specifics of Selena’s finished product, she could analyze its effects based on old Mrs. Blackwell’s reaction to the medication.

Besides, Selena’s version of Y-2 was based on her own incomplete formula.

So, recreating and improving it wouldn’t be difficult for her.

...

For the next few days, Isabel’s life consisted of only two things: preparing meals for old Mrs. Blackwell and spending every other waking moment in the lab.

During this period, she stayed at the Blackwell estate whenever she left the lab.

She no longer dared to stay in Adrian’s room. Instead, she found a small cottage in the courtyard of old Mrs. Blackwell’s residence. It was more convenient for looking after her.

In all that time, she hadn’t seen Adrian once.
