Chapter 19: A Performance for

Master Windsor

Isabella was completely frozen, momentarily wondering if she had

misheard.

“What… what did you say?”

“I said, tonight, you will be my woman.”

Never in her wildest dreams had

Isabella imagined receiving such a “declaration.”

“Alexander, I know you’re rich, but do you really think just because you have money and good looks, every woman Will throw herself at you?”

Alexander’s brow furrowed, and before he could offer any explanation, Isabella continued.

“Don’t think of yourself as a national treasure. Not every woman will like

you, and I, Isabella, will never fall for a creep like you in this lifetime!”

Sebastian, sitting in the front, couldn’t. help but suppress a laugh.

For years, he had never heard anyone

dare to criticize Mr. Windsor in such a

manner.

“Are you done?”

Alexander’s voice was eerily calm, betraying the effort he was making to suppress his anger.

“I’m done. Can I get out of the car now?” Isabella said as she reached for

the door, only to have her wrist seized by a firm grip the next moment.

I only need you to pretend to be my girlfriend for tonight, to get through to Master Windsor.”

Isabella realized she had

misunderstood Alexander’s intention,

face, However, her gaze quickly

returned to one of scorn.

“Does Mr. Alexander lack for women? Why the need to pretend with me? Besides, isn’t there a rumor about you and my sister? Why not have her play the part? It would be more legitimate.”

“Our relationship is strictly platonic,” Alexander clarified coldly, marking the first time he had publicly denied any romantic involvement with Charlotte.

Isabella didn’t buy his explanation, considering the numerous rumors online.

“Sorry, Mr. Alexander, but I’m not Interested in playing your girlfriend. To be precise, I’m not interested in you at all.” I

Alexander had not anticipated such a straightforward rejection from her, each word stinging like thorns.

His brow furrowed deeply, his grip

Though Isabella was trained, she couldn’t match Alexander’s strength and felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

“Let go, or I’ll really call the police!”

Alexander exhaled heavily, his

patience wearing thin. “Name your price.”

Isabella was infuriated. Was he treating

her like a call girl?

“I don’t want your money!”

Alexander’s patience snapped. He

looked towards the small building not far from the window.

Sebastian, call the city hall. Buy this

entire area and level it!”

Isabella’s heart sank at his words, her gaze filled with shock and deep disgust.

This bastard!

“Fine, I agree.“”

This time, she didn’t hesitate. For the sake of the children, she had no choice.

Alexander scoffed coldly, releasing her

and sitting back, closing his eyes with a lazy air.

“Don’t worry, it’s just for show for

Master Windsor. I won’t touch you. But if you mess up, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”

Isabella took a deep breath, glaring at the man beside her who was slightly smirking, wishing she could strangle him.

How could one person be so overbearing, unreasonable, and shameless?

As they arrived at Windsor Manor, two military guards stood at the entrance. The soleron and imposing atmosphere was already making Isabella feel uneasy before even entering.
