Chapter 298

The deliberate distance, the cold tone.

Isabella's change left Michael momentarily stunned. He withdrew his hands in disappointment, his eyes dimming.

He knew she had him appear just to put on a show in front of Daniel, but they hadn't even left yet, and she was already eager to push him away.

Did his touch disgust her that much?

"Isabella, no matter how our relationship changes, I'm still the child's father..."

Before Michael could finish, Isabella interrupted him, "Yes, you are the child's father, but you have nothing to do with me anymore."

So, their intimacy was limited to the act they put on in front of Daniel.

At other times, she didn't want to have any overly intimate actions with him, as it would only lead to thoughts and impulses she shouldn't have.

Ultimately, she would fall into his false tenderness again.

She hadn't forgotten the hurt and pain Michael had caused her before; she didn't want to recall that time.

And it was time to end this relationship.

Michael wanted to argue, but the place was wrong; Daniel and the uncles were outside.

He suppressed his emotions and started the car.

The whole way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Isabella looked out the window, watching the scenery flash by, and suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head, breaking the silence, "Michael, I heard you're searching the whole city for Violet, is that true?"

Michael's expression changed slightly but then returned to calm.

It made sense. The Wilson Family's capabilities were on par with the Brown Family, and with Atticus in charge, information naturally flowed freely.

It wasn't surprising that Isabella knew.

He responded calmly, "Yes, I'm looking for her. Have you seen her?"

Since Nolan appeared, he suspected that Isabella's incident was related to Violet's disappearance on the yacht.

So after confirming she was safe, he sent everyone out to find Violet's whereabouts.

He wanted to get the truth about the explosion from Violet.

But Michael's honest answer deeply hurt Isabella.

She guessed right.

That night on the yacht, she was just a stand-in for Violet.

In Michael's heart, the most important person was Violet!

So, he had people search the whole city for Violet as soon as they got off the boat, even though she almost died in the explosion, he didn't show any concern or ask about her.

Isabella should wake up.

Some things couldn't be obtained by force.

Without hesitation, she decisively told him the truth, "I've seen her. She's in the Wilson Family's territory, being protected. You don't need to worry too much."

With Michael's ability, finding Violet was just a matter of time, so instead of waiting for him to find out it was the Wilson Family's doing, she might as well tell him Violet's whereabouts now.

However, she underestimated Michael's concern for Violet.

"Isabella, hand Violet over to me."

Michael's voice was low, even with a hint of pleading.

He knew very well that behind Violet was the Adri Family. If he wanted to take down the Adri Family, he had to use Violet.

Moreover, this time the Adri Family clearly targeted Isabella, and he wouldn't wait any longer.

But what Michael didn't know was that his plea was seen by Isabella as a true expression of his feelings for Violet.

Did he think she didn't know by now?

Violet was Bianca.

A few months ago, Bianca drugged her, almost causing her to lose her virginity in a nightclub. She sent the Wilson Family to search the whole city for her, but in the end, it was Michael who protected Bianca.

Now Bianca returned with a new identity, and Michael still protected her.

They truly loved each other.

No matter how she changed, Michael's affection for Bianca never wavered.

Isabella couldn't help but ask, "Michael, do you really like her that much?"

'What do I lack compared to her?'

The last sentence Isabella couldn't say out loud; she didn't want to compare herself to others, especially Bianca.

But she really didn't understand what Michael liked about Bianca.

Back then, to save him, she risked her life to protect him.

Fortunately, God blessed them, and both she and Michael survived the accident.

But it seemed like God played a joke on her; when Michael woke up, he forgot all about her, while she could never forget him.

In the end, she chose to hide her identity to marry him, even enduring his coldness for three years without leaving.

But it was all her wishful thinking.

He didn't love her.

He only loved Bianca.

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists, bit her lip, and turned her head away, "Don't even think about it, I won't hand Violet over."

The evidence in the recording was enough to prove that Violet was the missing Bianca abroad.

And Harper was one of the murderers of Grace.

New and old grudges together, she wouldn't let this mother and daughter go.

Moreover, these two were related to the entire Wilson Family. The uncles had waited so long to act; they wouldn't let them go easily.

"Isabella, Violet is very important to me now. She can't fall into your hands!"

Michael, thinking the Adri Family would use Violet to target Isabella again, spoke out of tension.

If Violet did something dangerous again, it would be too late.

Isabella's heart ached at his words. She sneered and pushed away Michael's hand, "Yes, she's important to you, but so what?"

"She's in my hands now, and only I can decide."

Isabella almost couldn't resist revealing Violet's true identity.

But on second thought, she held back.

Given Michael's protection of Violet, it was likely because she had similarities with Bianca.

A few months ago, he protected Bianca so much. If she handed Violet over, and he hid her again, how could she find Violet again?

So, she made up her mind.

"Michael, if you want to fight for her, show your skills. I'll give you a fair chance to compete."

Seeing Isabella's determined expression, Michael knew she had made up her mind. He felt helpless and stopped arguing.

The Wilson Family's security system was unmatched in Evergreen City, and his identity was still there. If he broke in just to snatch an unrelated Violet...

Not only would it be hard to explain to Aiden, but her uncles would kill him.

And at that time, their marriage would also break.

Isabella's suggestion was essentially a dead end for him.

At this moment, Isabella suddenly spoke, "Stop the car!"

Michael immediately saw several black luxury cars parked not far away, with Isabella's bodyguards standing outside.

She had already prepared, ready to separate from him decisively as soon as they left the Wilson Family, without any hesitation.
