Married to my Archenemy

Chapter 13: BETRAYED



As he spoke, Damien Moore also produced a copy of the gift agreement, which did not violate any rules as Isabella was also a party to the agreement. Isabella looked at the signature on it, and it was indeed her handwriting.

But how could this be possible? William betrayed them, how could she transfer the Wilson family's property to him for free? Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything now and had no idea what had happened back then.

A dull pain shot through her head, causing Isabella to frown in agony. James immediately grabbed her wrist and said, "If you can't remember, don't think about it."

Isabella took a deep breath and looked at Lawyer Damien, asking, "If it can be proven that this agreement was not my true intention, can I get back the Wilson family's property?"

She remembered that Olivia had said that she was very negative emotionally and tended towards depression after her parents died. And the date of the gift agreement was during that time.

Lawyer Damien said that theoretically, it was possible, but the operation would be very difficult, and it would take at least a year or two from searching for evidence to judgment. Moreover, Wills Group was developing well now, and unless there was help from the Anderson family, it would be difficult for Isabella to win this case on her own.

Isabella couldn't help feeling discouraged. Ethan wouldn't help her get back the property, and besides, they were getting divorced tomorrow."Is there no other way?" Isabella asked."Well, there is another way." Damien Moore took out another loan agreement and said, "Before Mr. Wilson had the car accident, he borrowed ten billion yuan from the Anderson Group as capital turnover.

The debt was formed before the gift agreement, and later, because of the bankruptcy of the Wilson Group, the debt became a bad debt."

"What do you mean?" Isabella didn't quite understand."I suggest that the Anderson Group claim back this debt, so that the Wilson Group will return to Ethan's hands." Then she could get the company back from Ethan. Although it was a roundabout way, it should be easier than directly getting it back from William.

Isabella never thought that she would have to rely on Ethan in the end. James picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Is there any way we can start with William?"

"We can try... but.." Damien didn't continue, but the meaning was already clear. Isabella's eyes flickered. "I'll think about it."Little did she know, another storm was waiting for her in the Anderson family at this moment. After finishing the conversation with Lawyer Moore, Isabella wanted to invite him to dinner, but he said he had something to do at his law firm and left.

In the end, only Isabella and James were left. "Thank you for letting me know the truth," Isabella said." I don't know if it's a good thing for you, you look very sad," James' gentle eyes stared at Isabella, as if he could see through her thoughts.

Isabella's expression stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. She helplessly smiled and said, "You are still the same as before, able to see through people's feelings."

She thought that the reason why she fell in love with James in the first place was because he could understand her thoughts and feelings.

And he was always so gentle, and she was always convinced by his tenderness. James shook his head. "You misunderstood. I don't have that kind of ability, I just care about you more than others."

Isabella responded, "Hmm?"

What did he mean by that?

Looking at Isabella's clear eyes, James's eyes brightened. "Actually, for the past six years, I have always..."

"Isabella?" Suddenly, an unharmonious voice interrupted them.

Isabella turned her head and saw a girl with an egg-shaped face and big innocent-looking eyes talking to her.

The girl looked familiar, and seemed to be one of the people who criticized her with Chloe last night.

What was her name again?

Iris?

It seemed to be her.

The girl's eyes were not very friendly, constantly shifting between her and James.

Isabella frowned with disgust and said, "Hello, do you need something?"

Iris clicked her tongue and said, "You haven't even divorced yet, and you're already so eager to find a new man?"

Isabella was speechless. This girl looked quite innocent, but why did she speak so harshly?

"Miss Iris, we have no relation to each other. My affairs don't seem to be your concern, right? Besides, don't you have friends of the opposite sex? Does eating with someone of the opposite sex always mean that there is a romantic relationship?"

"What kind of friend would look at you with that kind of gaze?" Iris shook her head disdainfully. "Women like you, who change partners frequently, can even marry Ethan. The threshold for becoming a daughter-in-law of the Anderson family is really low."

"If you haven't married Ethan, it means that the threshold for the Anderson family is still high." Isabella retorted calmly.

"What did you say?!"

"I won't repeat myself. If you didn't hear it, it's your loss."

"You!" Iris took a step forward, about to say something, but suddenly became flustered.

She didn't even have time to look at Isabella and quickly left.

Isabella watched her leave in confusion, then noticed that she was running towards a man in a black windbreaker.

The man was tall and his back exuded an indescribable coldness. Iris clung to the man's arm like a little bird and sweetly entered a private room.

A strong sense of incongruity came over Isabella, and she furrowed her brow. James asked, "Did you figure it out?"

"Yeah." Isabella nodded. "The relationship between Iris and that man is quite strange. She seems to be afraid of him, so even though she's holding onto his arm, her body unconsciously moves further away from him."

As a psychology student, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Plus, her outfit today. She's wearing a low-cut shirt, but paired it with an unsuitable scarf.

And she didn't even take it off when she got inside, like she's intentionally hiding something," said James.
