Chapter 663 Kneeling to Beg Isabella
Chapter 663 Kneeling to Beg Isabella
Scarlet burst into tears, struggling to explain herself. “Because… because…” she sobbed, “Ever since Isabella came back to this house, Miss Cecilia has been ignored… I couldn’t bear it, so I…”
Lisa’s voice turned colder. “Did Cecilia have any part in this?”
“No, this was entirely my idea from start to finish. It had nothing to do with Miss Cecilia! She’s such a pure and kind- hearted person. If she had known, she would have stopped me!” Scarlet cried, “Mr. Lisa, please believe me. I truly understand the gravity of my mistake!”
“Who else was aware of this incident?” Lisa asked icily.
“Besides me, only Isabella…,” Scarlet cried, “Isabella promised not to say anything…”
“She kept her silence,” Lisa said calmly.
Scarlet’s eyes widened in response.
“I was merely asking casually,” Lisa said indifferently. “I didn’t expect you to confess so readily.”
Scarlet stood there in shock, realizing that Mr. Lisa had deceived her!
How utterly devious!
“If Isa had been seriously hurt in that incident, not only would you have been liable for significant compensation, but the
legal team of the Logan family wouldn’t have let you off easily. They would have taken you to court and made you lose everything, maybe even land you in prison,” Lisa explained.
Scarlet trembled with fear, fully convinced of the Logan. family’s power to do so!
“Mr. Lisa…”
“Pack your belongings and leave tonight. I don’t want to see you tomorrow,” Lisa declared.
“No, Mr. Lisa…”
Witnessing Lisa about to depart, Scarlet quickly dropped to her knees, clutching onto his feet, disregarding her dignity as she pleaded desperately, “Mr. Lisa, please grant me another chance. Throughout the years, I have considered everyone in the Logan family as my own. I never wanted to leave. I wished to serve you all until old age…”
“I longed to witness Miss Cecilia’s wedding and witness her become a mother… Please, Mr. Lisa, grant me another chance…”
“Another chance to harm Isabella?” Lisa questioned.
Myra, who had been secretly observing from the second floor, could no longer contain her anger and stormed downstairs.
“Myra? What are you doing here?” Scarlet’s face displayed a mixture of awkwardness and unease as she noticed Myra’s sudden appearance while still holding onto Lisa’s hand.
“You sent everyone away, hoping to avoid being exposed as a fraud. Fortunately, Mr. Lisa saw through your plot and deceit. Since Mr. Lisa is here today, I will disclose everything I know!” Myra declared.
Upon hearing Myra’s words, Lisa couldn’t help but wonder if there was anything he hadn’t already discovered.
“Mr. Lisa, ever since Isabella’s return, Scarlet has been targeting her at every opportunity. She acts friendly, referring to her as ‘Isabella’ as if they share a close relationship. But when you and a few
others are not present, she never addresses Isabella as ‘Miss’! And her expression towards Isabella is far from friendly! It’s as if Scarlet believes she’s the mistress of this house!”
Lisa’s gaze turned frosty as he absorbed Myra’s revelations.
“If Cecilia and Isabella ever sat down for a meal together, Scarlet would solely attend to Cecilia. She disregarded Isabella and made snide remarks, deliberately causing trouble for her! I treated Isabella with kindness, and Scarlet went out of her way to torment me!”
“When have I ever tormented you?” Scarlet’s anger flared. “Mr. Lisa, please don’t believe Myra’s words. She’s fabricating stories right in front of you!”
“Who purposefully pushed me while I was descending the stairs, trying to make me stumble? Who intentionally dirtied the floor after I had cleaned it? Who dumped trash on my bed? Who used my toothbrush for something other than its intended purpose? Your sneaky actions are more abundant than the stars in the sky! And you even colluded with Cecilia to make my life difficult!”
“Do you have any evidence? Your accusations are nothing but slander without proof! I have my eyes on you!” Scarlet retorted.
Observing their heated argument, Lisa intervened coldly, “That’s enough.”
Scarlet and Myra immediately fell silent, shooting angry glares at each other.
Lisa turned his attention to Scarlet. “If you hadn’t done anything wrong, Myra wouldn’t have so many accusations against you.”
“Mr. Lisa, I am truly innocent…” Scarlet attempted to defend herself, but Lisa cut her off.
“I can have someone investigate the matter. And if any evidence is found, the consequences will go beyond just leaving the Logan family. The choice is yours.”
Should Scarlet allow Lisa to conduct an investigation? Or should she obediently depart from the Logan family now…
Bowling her head down, Scarlet acknowledged her wrongdoing. “Mr. Lisa, I will leave.”
“Isa is my family. Before you depart from this house, if you haven’t obtained her forgiveness, not only will the Logan family no longer have a place for you, but neither will Bomsville,” Lisa declared.
Scarlet froze upon hearing this. She never anticipated that Mr. Lisa would go as far as banishing her from Bomsville as well…
Myra felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Lisa saw through
“Remember to apologize sincerely,” Lisa instructed before he left.
“Yes, I understand.” Scarlet watched Lisa’s departure, giving Myra a fierce glare.
Myra raised an eyebrow as if to say, “Didn’t expect that, did you? Isabella is the family’s treasure. How could Mr. Lisa tolerate your mistreatment of her?”
Half an hour later…
Isabella had just arrived home when Cecilia hurried over, grabbing her hand and pleading, “Isabella, please forgive Scarlet. You can deduct her salary or assign her more tasks. Just please don’t let her leave the family!”
Tears streaming down her face, Scarlet choked up and managed to utter, “Miss Isabella,” but her throat burned so fiercely that she couldn’t say another word…
Scarlet had finished packing her belongings and intended to bid farewell to Miss Cecilia. However, upon hearing that Mr. Lisa was dismissing Scarlet, Cecilia immediately rushed to plead with him. But
Mr. Lisa remained steadfast. Then, Cecilia turned to Isabella.
Isabella likely understood what was happening. Lisa must have suspected something and punished Scarlet once again.
“Scarlet, come here and apologize to Isabella!” Cecilia cried, her voice filled with desperation.
Scarlet knelt before Isabella and spoke with a trembling voice,
“Miss Isabella, I was foolish. I won’t attempt to defend myself. I truly made a grave mistake! I acted outrageously. At this moment, I don’t dare to hope for your forgiveness. I only ask for the chance to repent and serve in this household… I am willing to kneel here until dawn, for however many days you request, if you don’t drive me away…”
“Isabella, please forgive Scarlet!” Cecilia joined Scarlet, kneeling before Isabella, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded.
The surrounding staff members were stunned. The servants never expected Miss Cecilia to kneel before Isabella on behalf of Scarlet… Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Isabella was left speechless by their actions. Lisa was the one who intended to dismiss them, so why didn’t they plead with Lisa instead? Could it be because Lisa disagreed?
If Lisa disagreed, why did she agree????
“In the future, I will ensure Scarlet remains far away from your If your paths ever cross, I will make sure Scarlet keeps her distance!” Cecilia vowed, desperate to convince Isabella.
“Scarlet has taken care of me for eighteen years. I have always considered her as my family. I can’t imagine being without her, Isabella… Please, I promise Scarlet won’t bother you, and she won’t even set foot in the main building…”
“Miss Isabella, I can go to the adjacent building to clean, water the flowers, and perform other tasks. I won’t appear in front of you…”
“Isabella, I’ll do whatever you ask of me from now on, please…”
Witnessing Cecilia’s heartfelt plea for Scarlet to remain, Isabella could have given in and requested Cecilia to behave and be obedient. However, if Scarlet remained, she would continue to exert influence over Cecilia behind her back…
Even the most innocent and kind-hearted person can become corrupted when subjected to prolonged brainwashing. Therefore, Scarlet had no reason to stay, and Isabella had no reason to show leniency.
“You’re already eighteen, you don’t need her anymore,”
Isabella remarked.
Isabella was on the verge of leaving when Cecilia clung to her legs and wept, age doesn’t matter. Scarlet and I have been inseparable, like family…”
“In that case… why don’t you move out and live with her?” Isabella suggested.
