Evelyn: 【How did you fly back so quickly? Aren’t you worried Adrian will realize something’s off?】
Isabel: 【Sometimes, people who think they’re too clever end up being foolish. Besides, he has Selena there to keep him company. I doubt he’ll have time to think about it.】
Evelyn: 【Just wait, sis. I’ll get revenge for you!】
Isabel: 【Just take it easy.】
She had been the one to force the marriage in the first place.
Everything she had done was to achieve her goal: the divorce.
She had no desire to make things uglier than they needed to be.
If she pushed Adrian too far, there was no telling what he might do in a fit of rage.
She had no intention of taking him down with her. Her life was precious.
…
Isabel went straight to the lab.
Worried that the online buzz hadn't completely died down, she was cautious.
But she didn't see any reporters or aggressive netizens at the lab entrance.
The Blackwell family must have done some damage control to avoid further embarrassment.
She slipped in through the underground garage.
As she was heading toward the elevator, a loud honk made her jump.
She clutched her chest and looked over, her eyes first catching a flash of purple.
Recognizing who it was, she walked over.
“You shouldn’t sneak up on people like that. You could give someone a heart attack.”
Julian circled her. “Good. You’re back in one piece.”
Isabel knew she had been lucky to run into Evelyn. Otherwise, escaping would not have been so easy.
“What are you doing here?”
Julian leaned against his car. “I’ve been staked out here for days. Adrian was intentionally blocking me. It wasn’t easy to find out you’d gone abroad, and I couldn’t intervene. So, I could only wait here for you to come back. After all, you are my future wife.”
Speaking of which, Isabel showed him the divorce certificate.
Julian took it but didn't share her joy. “Is a foreign divorce certificate even valid?”
Assuming he didn't know the local laws, Isabel explained, “This was processed back home and delivered to me abroad.”
Julian still didn’t believe Adrian would grant a divorce so easily.
He asked, “What happened over there?”
Isabel told him everything, step by step.
