Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 143

The internet was in an uproar.

No one had expected such a dramatic turn of events.

Someone posted a few photos. They were blurry, but the scene was clear enough. It was outside a bar. Isabel was with another man when Adrian appeared, forcefully taking her away and back to Halcyon Hills Residence. It was no secret that Adrian lived there.

Suddenly, the Blackwell family and “that plagiarist Isabel” were trending together, their names linked at the top of every search list.

And no one was trying to take it down.

Mrs. Blackwell hadn't been able to nap since Isabel first showed up at the Blackwell estate, and now this news in the middle of the night was the last straw. Forgetting all decorum, she stormed into old Mrs. Blackwell's room.

“Even if you like Isabel, you have to consider the Blackwell family’s reputation! Are you just going to let her run wild like this?!”

Old Mrs. Blackwell had been woken from a deep sleep. The medicine Isabel had given her had worked quickly, and she was resting soundly. It took her a moment to calm the discomfort in her chest before she realized what all the commotion was about.

“The fact is, she and Adrian are married. Even if the world finds out, no one can say anything.”

“No one can say anything?” Mrs. Blackwell shoved her phone in the old woman’s face. “See for yourself! The entire internet is gossiping about the Blackwell family, about Adrian!”

“Adrian has had a perfect life, not a single stain on his record. He was raised to be revered.”

“But this one woman, Isabel, schemed her way into our family. I tolerated it. But now she’s determined to drag Adrian through the mud with her, and I will not stand by and watch!”

Old Mrs. Blackwell glanced at the phone screen impassively. “You must be aware that Adrian is the one who refuses to divorce her.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell had already provided the divorce papers. Mrs. Blackwell had even gone down to City Hall, just one step away from finalizing it.

If they had divorced earlier, none of Isabel’s antics would have touched the Blackwell family.

It was clear she was now lashing out.

Daniel just couldn't understand it. If Adrian didn't want a divorce, why not just say so? Why did he have to turn it into such a massive spectacle?

If Isabel was a plagiarist and also Adrian’s wife, it would undoubtedly affect the Blackwell Group. Their deal with the overseas partner hadn't been fully finalized yet.

The foreign partner was wary of Adrian’s youth and felt that a single man, despite his proven capabilities, lacked the sense of responsibility that came with having a family. Adrian had told them he was married, but then the partner had insisted on meeting Mrs. Blackwell.

Adrian had returned to the country specifically to bring Isabel back with him.

But now, with Isabel embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, announcing their marriage was a terrible idea.

Daniel was stressing out over the situation when he walked into the CEO's office to report.

He found his boss, Mr. Blackwell, staring at his phone with a smile gracing his features. It was a rare sight, a stark contrast to his usual cold, emotionless expression.
