The Invisible Wife Turned Savage novel Chapter 226

Selene clenched her jaw tightly, frustration evident in her voice. “Exactly. We’re still too small to take on big capital head-on. But I can’t just sit back and let this go without a fight.”

Lana exhaled deeply, her expression softening. “I’ll draft a lawyer’s letter for you. At the very least, we can demand some compensation from her.”

In the days that followed, strange and unsettling events began to plague Isabelle whenever she stepped outside her home. Her car was mysteriously scratched, the marks appearing overnight without explanation. When she hurried to check the security cameras for clues, she found they were inexplicably malfunctioning—no footage had been recorded at all.

One afternoon at the mall, Isabelle was ambushed in the restroom. A bag was suddenly pulled over her head, and she was roughly beaten. Had it not been for the quick intervention of her bodyguard, she might have been abducted. The memory of that terrifying moment left her shaken to the core.

On another occasion, someone attempted to throw acid at her. She barely managed to dodge in time, escaping with only a narrow miss from permanent disfigurement. The fear gripping her heart grew heavier with each attack.

Huddled inside her home, Isabelle refused to leave, trembling with anxiety. She called Isaac in tears, her voice breaking as she confessed, “Someone’s targeting me. I’m scared, Isaac. Please, you have to do something.”

Isaac acted swiftly, dispatching people to investigate the incidents. But before his team could make much progress, a series of explosive stories erupted online.

Every business Isabelle had invested in—from beauty salons and gyms to music centers and even pet hospitals—was exposed in a devastating light. Fake staff certifications were revealed, expired and counterfeit medicines were found, and reports of malpractice and accidents surfaced.

Victims who had previously been silenced by hush money began stepping forward, emboldened by the growing public outcry. More and more people shared their harrowing experiences openly.

To make matters worse, Isabelle’s personal information was leaked across social media, intensifying the backlash. The internet was ablaze with fury. She was vilified as a ruthless capitalist, and extremist groups went so far as to track her down and physically attack her.

When Isabelle saw the news spreading like wildfire, her whole body trembled with a mixture of rage and despair. She immediately called Isaac, her voice sharp and panicked.

“What on earth are you doing? Look at the internet! Everyone’s tearing me apart. I’m losing my mind! I can’t even step outside without fear. Someone is clearly targeting me—you have to find whoever’s behind this and clear my name! And call the police! I want those who hurt me arrested and punished! They need to know that I, Isabelle, am not someone to be trifled with!”

Isaac, already overwhelmed with his own problems, felt his anger flare in response to her outburst. For the first time, he lost his patience with his sister.

“Isabelle, what’s wrong with you? Those stories online—they’re all true! You threw money around without understanding what you were doing, and now look at the mess you’ve created! Do you realize how many scandals you’ve caused? You’ve dragged Monroe Corp into this disaster too—our PR department is drowning trying to clean up after you! You’re not a child anymore. Can’t you stop obsessing over love and start focusing on your work? If you don’t want to make money, fine—spend it. But stop investing in things you don’t understand! Now I have to fix your mess, and you still have the nerve to complain?”

Isabelle’s cheeks burned with shame and humiliation.

“How can you yell at me like that? Didn’t you promise you’d always have my back? Was that all a lie?”

Isaac let out a cold, bitter laugh. “Yes, I said I’d protect you. But there are limits. Look at the chaos you’ve caused. Do you think any of this is easy to fix?”

He ended the call abruptly.
