The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 57 My innocent brother.

"Sister, your lizard has ruined our dress. So we're not wrong not if you want to punish the lizard, after all you should keep the lizard from wandering around and making a mess" said Carolina ventured.

Isabella stroked Selina's head gently and said, "So you want to punish my beloved lizard for a dress?  are you sure?"

"Just a dress? brother said that because brother does not know how expensive this dress is. Moreover, this dress is a gift from our mother, so for us this is very precious."

"If it's just a dress so don't overdo it. Is it hard to ask to buy a new dress that's nicer and more expensive, hum?"

"That's Carolina. There's no point in talking to your sister because she won't understand, how can she understand while she never receives a gift from a mother" Charlotte said.

The words hurt Isabella, he must admit if he never received such a thing in his previous life or his present life. But he couldn't keep quiet, he had to make them even more upset.

"You ... What did you say? did you forget what mom said if you said we couldn't make this woman angry" whispered Charlotte.

"I'm sorry. She's wrong anyway, right" Carolina replied.

Even though they were whispering, Isabella could still hear what they were talking about. For the time being Isabella cannot be hostile to them, she must keep her sense of regret so that they do not go to Vanessa's room. For him to give up once for the perfect plan was not a problem at all.

"You're right Carolina. I've hurt you just because I never received a gift from a mother, what if you took one dress from my dresses and two jewelry boxes from all my milk jewelry. You guys want to, right?" ask Isabella. He was trying to show guilt in his heart.

Charlotte and Carolina's eyes immediately sparkled, the problem was that the dresses and jewelry Vanessa bought for Isabella were very expensive. All of her dresses were made directly by young designers recognized by the empress as well as luxury jewelry that only high-class nobles such as Duke Abraham and the royal family could afford. 

Seeing their enthusiasm in choosing dresses and jewelry, Isabella felt calm because she believed the two women must have forgotten their initial goal of attracting Albert's attention. And because of this, Isabella's plan for a walk in the park with Selina was forced to be canceled.

"Greedy people really like expensive items," Selina said staring at the twins with a humble gaze.

"At least I know how to deal with these little women" Isabella replied.

"Metrish." Isabella hummed happily while drying her hair in front of the mirror.  The twins take too long to choose what they want to take, so long until it does not feel the time has been evening.  

Isabella's mood since then is also not good, she wants to visit Vanessa. But Albert did not come home and continued to be in Vanessa's room. He gave no one but Vanessa's personal maid permission to enter the room, and Isabella regained her good mood after she took a bath.

"Marry, please bring me my nightgown. This bath dress …." Isabella's words stopped as she heard a noise from outside.

"What's outside, Marry?" ask Isabella. But the waiter just shook his head, he also did not know because he himself had not come out of the room.

Brak!

Jennie suddenly broke through Isabella's bedroom door, with an irregular breath she immediately sat on the floor.

"Du-duke is heading over here. He was furious after seeing …."

"Ishabella. Get out now!" cedric's screams from a distance rang out very clearly to Isabella's room. Jennie looked even more scared after hearing that.

Isabella felt that something bad was going to happen, she immediately left her two servants and walked out of the room. Not to forget Isabella closed the bedroom door so that the two servants could not get out or they could also get angry with Cedric.

"Dad, calm down first. Father scares everyone here" said Vanessa trying to calm Cedric, a pity his efforts were in vain because of the anger Cedric currently can not be held back.

With a look of annoyance and reddened anger, Cedric stepped closer and faster to Isabella and slapped twice into Isabella's face.

Vanessa who witnessed it was shocked. Spontaneously he immediately pushed Cedric away from Isabella and prevented Cedirc from approaching Isabella again.

"You want to dissuade your father from punishing that cruel woman? what the hell are you thinking? I know you're a good-hearted woman. But you don't have to act stupid by doing this, the woman who hurt you doesn't even care at all about your circumstances. He doesn't deserve your affection at all" Cedric snapped.

"Dad misjudged sister. This whole time …."

"Enough," cut Isabella. Isabella wiped the blood coming out of her mouth and pushed Vanesaa hard, quickly Cedric immediately caught Vanessa's body if not Vanessa's head could have been seriously injured while hitting the floor.

"You saw that! pushed you. He doesn't care if your head hits the floor and breaks, that kind of brother you want to protect" Cedric said.

"Yes. You're right dad, I wouldn't care even if he died. I wouldn't care. What does that have to do with me? after all I've already injured his forehead once, I'll repeat that and maybe next time it will be worse" Isabella replied.

"Wow, this kid is really mean. I like him," Elena's inner. He wanted to take a chance in the narrow.

Elena made a fake tear and then with a sad look of face she ran up to Isabella and pulled Isabella in her arms and said, "Enough.  Isabella has just returned to this residence, I know she has a bad reputation. But that doesn't mean you have to punish Isabella until like this, you slapped Isabella's face very hard just because of a scratch on Vanessa's forehead. Is that worth it? not duke. You hurt Isabella 10 times more than Vanessa because Vanessa is your favorite child. But Isabella is your biological child, you have to be fair to both of them."

"Elena you …." Cedric stared intently at Elena who dared to defend Isabella.

"Curtain! this woman is smart enough too, let me get you into my cipher. There's no need to thank me, "inner Isabella.

Isabella returned Elena's embrace and cried in her arms, "Only mother understands me in this residence. My mother is not my real mother. But I understand how I feel, but my own real father, who has a blood relationship with me, doesn't understand me at all."

"What'sthis? sister ... Why are you hugging that woman? she's not a good woman, sister. Don't you judge him wrong. The woman had already toyed with my brother's innocent feelings, what a pity for big sister," Vanessa's inner clenched her hands looking at Elena's ugly acting.
