Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 178 Ben asked lightly, “So, you bribed the physician a day earlier because you knew that Susan would push Penelope. and that you would have a miscarriage in order to help her?” “I...” Isabella’s face turned even paler.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth.

Although there was nothing she could do to defend herself at the moment, Penelope would never regain consciousness. Moreover, Susan couldn’t defend herself. If Isabella insisted that it wasn’t her, who could force her to admit it? “Anyway, | did not push Penelope,” Isabella said, “No matter what you say, | will never admit it.” Ben sneered. “Do you think it makes any difference whether you admit it or not? What you did is horrible enough for the police to intervene in it. What's the point of denying it when the professionals will eventually prove it?” Isabella’s face fell immediately.

It was true that the court only considered the evidence.

It didn’t matter whether she admitted it or not! Ben had already found out so much about her. If the police were to investigate, they would only be able to find more evidence against her.

It would be the end of her! Not only would her reputation be ruined, but what was even more terrifying was that this was a serious crof murder and framing. She might end up in prison for life.

+ A trace of fear finally flashed across Isabella’s eyes.

She knelt in front of Leo quickly and cried in remorse, “Leo, you can’t call the police, you can’t! I'm your wife. If I'm sentenced to go to jail, you will also be affected.” Leo gritted his teeth. “So, you really hurt my mother...” Isabella cried even harder immediately. “Yes, it was me, but everything | did was for you.” “For me?” Leo looked at her somewhat in disbelief.

Isabella cried and said, “I was wrong. My biggest mistake is that | love you too much. | love you so much. | shouldn't have lost my basic values because of how much I love you.” 1/6 Chapter 178 “You...” Leo was a little shaken by Isabella’s words.

“Leo, this woman harmed your mother!” Charlie reminded him from the side.

“I didn’t want to, | really didn’t want to.” Isabella cried and said, “At that time, Penelope didn’t agree tomarrying Leo. But | love Leo too much and want to marry him too much. So, in order to marry him, | could only pretend to be pregnant to marry into the Landor family.” Isabella looked at Leo tearfully. “Leo, I'm sorry, | lied to you. But | really... love you so much.” Leo started to waver.

He looked at Isabella with pity in his eyes.

Yes, although it was Isabella’s fault, she did it all for him! Alas, she loved him so much. Even if she had done something wrong, why couldn’t he forgive her? Charlie couldn't stand it anymore. He said angrily, “Leo! Your mother is still lying on the hospital bed!” “Grandpa,” Isabella cried and said, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. | pretended to be pregnant and married into the Landor family, but | couldn’t just make up a baby on my own. | was worried that Leo would divorceif he found out that | wasn’t pregnant. | was anxious. | had no choice but to cup with such a bad idea. At that time, | just wanted to create an accident so that | could pretend to have a miscarriage. | didn’t expect that ! would accidentally harm Penelope and that she had already hurt her head before so she fell into a coma. I... | was worried that Leo would divorceif he found out that | was the one who made Penelope like this. | was confused,, so | tried to frMonica! It's all my fault. Leo, if you can’t forgive me, you can call the police and let them kill directly.” Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Leo. “In my next life, | only hope that | won't love you so much anymore.

After saying that, she fell backward suddenly as if she was mentally exhausted.

Leo had long been touched by Isabella’s love. He couldn't help but hug her.

Isabella looked at him with a touched expression on her face immediately. “You... Why are you still holding me? | made such a big mistake. You should letdie.” “Isabella, you did it for me. | believe that if Mom finds out, she will forgive you too.” Leo looked at Isabella affectionately.

“Leo.” Tears streamed down Isabella's face.

“Isabella.” Leo pulled her into his embrace with a touched expression on his face.

Charlie was speechless.

2/6 Monica looked at Ben in disbelief. “Ben, now could there be a person 1919 to asupra sa Ben glanced at her.

It was rare that Monica knew how stupid she was.

“You don’t understand,” Leo sighed and said in a self-mocking tone, “Love makes one stupid.” Monica was speechless.

Even though she was a love-struck fool, she felt nauseous all of a sudden.

Leo was stupider than she thought he was.

“Grandpa, Mom is already in such a state. There's no point blaming Isabella.” Leo looked at Charlie. “Why don’t we just forget about this matter?” Charlie looked at him expressionlessly. “Forget about it? Do you believe her nonsense? If she accidentally pushed your mother last time, what would you say about her deliberately pressing the red button this time?” Leo frowned. “But the brainwave machine and red button are all set up by Ben. In fact, Isabella didn’t hurt my mother at all this time.” Charlie almost died from anger towards Leo. He said coldly, “This is indeed a setup, but she did so to prevent your mother from waking up! Leo, be reasonable! The person lying on the bed is your biological mother.” “Leo.” Isabella trembled in fear.

Leo hugged her somewhat tenderly and then said to Charlie without hesitation, “Grandpa, it’s just because I've lost my mother that | can’t lose Isabella anymore. If you want to call the police to arrest Isabella, ask them to arrest too.” Leo's eyes were filled with courage for love.

Isabella was so moved that she burst into tears. “Leo, what have | done to deserve you to treatlike this... I...” As she spoke, Isabella choked with sobs.

After what happened, Isabella was really somewhat touched now.

She didn’t expect Leo to really be so in love with her.

Compared to Ben, who was ruthless and set up a trap to catch her, Leo was indeed a perfect man.

Isabella was a little regretful.

3/6 A Chapter 178 Why had she been so obsessed with Ben in the past? She was reborn, and she knew so much about the future.

Wasn't it good for her to live a peaceful life with Leo and help Leo surpass Ben? Isabella swore in her heart that if she could survive this, she would help Leo wholeheartedly! She would stop loving Ben.

Isabella couldn't help but be somewhat intimidated by Ben.

end up hurting. He was as hard as a rock. Other than Susan, anyone else who approached him would only Including her.

And Monica.

At this time, Isabella.finally understood what had happened in the past few days.

Ben was only pretending to be in love with Monica.

On the one hand, he wanted to lower Isabella’s guard, thinking that he had believed that Susan was responsible for Penelope’s injury.

On the other hand, he had seen through Isabella’s thoughts, so he used Monica to provoke her.

He had already found out a lot of things, but he did not lose his temper immediately. Instead, he waited until today to set up a trap for her.

First of all, he asked the physician to say that Penelope was about to wake up deliberately to mess with Isabella's mind.

Then, he invited Monica over to present Isabella with the ready-made scapegoat.

In the end, he even went crazy enough to set up a brainwave machine and a red button for Penelope’s “death”.

They were all tools to lure Isabella into taking action.

Unfortunately, Isabella was too confident. She thought that since she had succeeded once, she would be able to do it again. As a result, she walked right into Ben's trap.

Although she was stupid, Ben's careful schemes throughout the entire process were simply shocking.

Isabella no longer dared to be attracted to Ben.

Susan was the only one who could control him.

4/6 Chapter 178 Leo and Isabella were still hugging each other affectionately. The expression on Charlie's face only grew uglier by the minute.

“Grandpa,” Ben said in a low voice, “Don’t be angry about something meaningless. Leave the situation here to me.” Charlie patted Ben on the hand with a trace of guilt in his eyes. ‘Ben, | misunderstood Susan.” Ben's eyes flashed with a hint of pain, but he still said, “I'll explain it to Susan.” “The most important thing for you to do now is to get Susan back,” Charlie said. “It's my fault. Get her back and I'll apologize to her myself.” “Grandpa...” Ben wanted to say something else.

However, Charlie shook his head. “Since | am in the wrong, | have to admit it. And so do you. Susan has been out alone for the past few days, and | can’t bear myself to think about how she must be feeling.” Ben pursed his lips. When he thought of Susan being all alone, his heart ached slightly.

He said in a low voice, “I will definitely find her.” “That's good.” Charlie smiled with relief and then looked coldly at Leo. “As for the matter of these two, lethandle it.” As Leo's half-brother, Ben would inevitably be accused of being mean to his stepbrother even if what he did was reasonable and legal.

It was better for Charlie to step in as Leo's grandfather.

“Grandpa, | don’t care. Anyway, you can’t bully Isabella, Leo said bluntly. He was Charlie's biological grandson, and he didn’t believe that Charlie would do anything to him.

Leo had nothing to fear.

Charlie had long been disappointed in him. He looked at Leo and asked word by word, ‘I'll ask you one last time..

Must you protect this woman? Even if she harmed your mother, can you live with her without any grudges?” Leo hesitated.

Isabella couldn't help but grab his arm in fear.

Leo thought about how everything Isabella did was because of how much she loved him. His heart softened and he said decisively, “Yes, Isabella and | are truly in love with each other.” The last trace of hope Charlie had for Leo disappeared completely.

His face turned cold. “Alright, since you're so persistent, I'll kick you out of the Landor family. Leo, from now on, 5/6 Chapter 179 you're no longer a member of the Landor family. I'm no longer your grandfather, nor is Ben your brother.” Leo was stunned.

Last time, he was forced to leave the company.

This time, he was kicked out of the Landor family directly.
