Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 194

"Well, that Isabel is dead, isn't she? I can't stay single forever. You know my grandfather—he's a stubborn old man. If I don't grant him his wish, he won't be able to rest in peace."

Adrian let out a cold scoff. "She *is* Isabel."

"She is Isabel Ashford, of the Durantin family," Julian said. "I'm sure a man who follows international news like yourself is already aware. I don't need to elaborate."

Mr. and Mrs. Ashford stepped forward, flanking Isabel protectively.

Miles came to stand beside Julian, forming another line of defense.

"Hey, you! What do you think you're doing to my sister? Let me tell you, this is the Fiorhaven Principality. The Durantin family is not someone you can provoke. You'd best leave right now, or my gun might not be so discerning."

Adrian ignored them, his eyes fixed on Isabel.

"If you're part of the Durantin family, then you must be on the family register."

"Let me see it. If her name is there, I'll leave."

Miles scoffed. "You demand to see it, and we should just comply? Do you have any idea how little you respect the Durantin family? Stephen! Get this man out of my sight!"

"Yes, Young Master," Robert replied.

Stephen immediately called the bodyguards to remove Adrian.

But they were no match for him.

The man was highly skilled.

"What is it you want?" Mr. Ashford demanded, his gaze as sharp as a knife. "I only announced her return to the world yesterday. Adding a name to the Durantin family register requires time and ceremony. It's not as simple as scribbling it in. And even if my daughter's name were on it, it's not for you to see."

"You will not take her from here today."

Adrian's lips curled into a cold smirk. His eyes met Isabel's. "Isabel, have you forgotten?" he said slowly. "Our marriage was never legally dissolved. I never had you removed from my family's records."

Isabel froze for a fraction of a second.

Then, something suddenly clicked into place.
