Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
LF N 24% 12.1H Isabella cursed wildly in her heart, her mind racing.
She would have no reason to get close to Ben and Susan if she was rejected this time.
Therefore, she should make every attempt to invite Susan to this banquet.
However, Susan was so determined.
Just as Isabella wondered what she should do next, her gaze fell on Charlie.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
Because she had been obsessed with Ben in her previous incarnation, she had found out some things about the Landor family.
She remembered in her previous incarnation, Charlie had once had a heart attack and almost died.
Isabella knew it should have been very dangerous at that time. Otherwise, Ben wouldnât have mentioned it in his memoirs and said he felt it was lucky that Susan was around when he was frightened at that time.
Isabellaâs eyes glistened.
âAs I remember, Old Mr. Landor would have a heart attack in a year or two.
1 Then, there must have been something wrong with his heart by now.
If I can remind the Landor family of this problem in advance, they will feel that they owe me a big favor, especially Ben.
As a devoted grandson, Benâs attitude towards me will surely improve after I remind him of his grandfatherâs sickness.â
At the thought of this, Isabella suddenly asked Charlie with concern, âYou donât look well, Old Mr.
Landor. Are you feeling unwell?â
Charlie was stunned for a moment before he frowned slightly and asked, âDo you mean M M that I look sick?â
UIN#24% 12:11 As a proud old man, Charlie hated it the most when others said something bad about his health.
Therefore, Charlie became upset just as Isabella had finished speaking.
âThatâs not what I meant,â Isabella hurriedly said. âOld Mr. Landor, I just think that your should have a thorough checkâup at the hospital, especially a cardiac examination.â
Then, she thought she would gain the gratitude of the Landor family when Charlie found out about his disease.
Charlie put down his flatware and snapped, âWhat have I done to you to make you curse me now?â
âNo, Iâm not cursing youâ¦â Isabella stuttered as she waved her hand repeatedly, flustered.
âSee her off,â Ben ordered with a cold face.
The housekeeper hurried over and gestured to Isabella that she should leave.
Isabellaâs face turned pale.
She had no idea why these people all misunderstood her when she kindly reminded them.
However, she couldnât think of a better way to convince Charlie for the time being, so she could only reluctantly leave with the housekeeper.
âWait,â Ben suddenly uttered.
Isabellaâs face lit up at once. She wondered if Ben had changed his mind and was about to ask her to stay.
âBring the gift back,â Ben said indifferently..
âYes.â The housekeeper handed the gift to Isabella, staring at her.
Under the housekeeperâs determined gaze, Isabella had no choice but to be sent out, gritting her teeth.
M M 24% 12:11 âLeo, whatâs wrong with your classmate? Is she not right in the head?â Charlie looked at Leo with dissatisfaction and said, âStop associating with such people.â
Leo didnât know why Isabella suddenly cursed his grandfather either. He tried to explain with embarrassment, âGrandpa, Isabella doesnât usually act like thisâ¦â
âI donât care what she usually does. Anyway, donât bring her home anymore,â Charlie said with displeasure.
Leo had no choice but to agree.
He was still wondering if Isabella was suddenly out of her mind.
Penelope also asked Leo in private, âIs your female classmate really insane? Why did she act so differently and eccentrically during these two days?â
Yesterday, Isabella was still a naive and innocent girl who had acted like she could cry at any time.
Today, she had become an elegant and dignified lady.
But Penelope thought either image of Isabella seemed to be not right in the head.
âSheâs notâ¦â Leo was also at a loss for explanation.
After Penelope left, he couldnât help but send a message to Isabella and ask, âIsabella, whatâs wrong with you? Why did you suddenly mention such an unlucky thing? Grandpa hates it when others say he is in poor health.â
At this time, Isabella was so angry that she was smashing things in the hotel.
When she saw Leoâs message, she became even angrier!
She thought with resentment, âI told them out of kindness, but none of them appreciated 1. it.
No!
I must prove that there is something wrong with Old Mr. Landorâs health.
Otherwise, I can never get close to the Landor family!â
MM Looking at Leoâs flashing avatar, Isabellaâs eyes suddenly glinted.
She picked up the phone and sent a voice message with a pitiful voice, âLeo, I really didnât mean to curse your grandpa. I have learned some medical skills from a private physician before, so I know something is wrong with your grandpaâs health.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Leo still did not believe it.
After all, Charlie looked hale and hearty.
âI canât explain it clearly on the phone. Come to meet me at the hotel.â Isabella sent the location over.
When Leo heard that they were about to meet at the hotel, his mind went blank and was soon filled with erotic scenes.
âIâll be right there!â He replied with a message and rushed out.
âHumph, what a boring and stupid man.â
Isabella spoke in her heart as she rolled her eyes. She felt an incompetent man like Leo was not worthy of any attention from a reborn person like her.
But now, she had no choice but to rely on Leo for help.
Before Leo arrived, Isabella went to the pharmacy first.
Soon, there was a knock on the hotel roomâs door.
Isabella opened the door and saw Leo excitedly standing at the door.
âIsabella, have you thought it through?â Leo reached out to hug her.
Isabellaâs face immediately darkened. She quickly pushed Leo away and snapped, âI asked you to come something serious!â
âWhat is it?â Leo was a little disappointed, but he knew he couldnât force Isabella.
Isabella sat down on the sofa and raised her head proudly as she said, âSit down too.â
Leo seated himself with a blank expression.
MM âWeâre classmates, Leo. Iâm here to help you,â Isabella said.
âHow can you help me?â Leo asked with confusion.
24% 12:11 âI can tell that in the Landor family, Old Mr. Landor seems to favor Ben Landor but doesnât care much about you and your mother. Do you want to change this situation?â Isabella looked at him meaningfully.
Leoâs expression changed. âGrandpa watched Ben grow up, but I have been sent abroad since I was in elementary school. Itâs normal for Grandpa to like Ben more.â
âIt is normal, but do you feel reconciled to such a situation?â Isabella incited him.
Leo gnashed his teeth. âOf course, Iâm not reconciled, but what can I do?â
âThis is the solution.â Isabella directly handed him a carton of medicine.
âWhatâs this?â Leo asked as the look in his eyes changed.
âFind an opportunity to feed this medicine to Old Mr. Landor, and thenâ¦â
Before Isabella could finish her words, Leo looked at her in horror. âNo, no. Heâs my grandfather. I canât harm him in any case.â
Isabellaâs face instantly turned cold. âI didnât ask you to harm him!â
She knew there would be no chance for her to marry Ben anymore if she harmed Charlie.
âThen, what do you mean?â Leo was baffled.
Isabella lowered her voice and said slowly, âDidnât I tell you that I know some medical skills? I learned them from a private physician who is particularly good at diagnosing people by looking at their complexion. Today, when I saw Mr. Landor seniorâs face, I felt that something was wrong. His face looks ruddy, but this is exactly a symptom of a cardiac disease.â
Isabella explained, âWhen the blood circulation is not good, it will cause the heat in the body to be out of balance, so the upper body will be hot while the lower will be cold. At the same time, the legs will be swollen due to too much water accumulation in them. If the heart is not working normally, it will cause internal heat maldistribution in the body, and thus the face will turn red easily. Old Mr. Landorâs face often turns red, which is an abnormal phenomenon for someone at such an old age.â
Isabella spoke coherently, but the reason why she was so sure was that she had already known what would happen in the future.
Then, it would be very easy to find an excuse to explain it.
Hearing this, Leo was stunned. âIs⦠is it reliable? We regularly ask physicians to examine Grandpa.
Why did none of them ever say that?â
âThe cardiac disease has always been very well hidden, especially the myocardial problem. Many people donât know about it until it flares up,â Isabella said.
Leo was still confused. âThen what do you mean by this carton of medicine?â
Isabellaâs eyes slightly glinted. âYou saw what happened this morning. I told them about the disease directly, and no one believed me. Instead, they considered my advice a curse on Old Mr. Landor. So, I came up with a way to prove what I said.â
âHow can you prove it?â Leo asked.
âThis is a type of cardiotonic medicine,â Isabella slowly said, âOrdinary people will be fine after eating it.
However, if someone with a hidden danger of a heart attack ate it, they wouldnât be able to withstand the medicinal effect. Then, they would have a heart attack.â
Leo felt his eyelids twitching. He asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Isabella pushed the medicine carton to Leo and said confidently, âFind a way to get Old Mr. Landor to take this medicine. If I am wrong and thereâs nothing wrong with his heart, he wonât have any reaction.
If there is indeed a hidden danger of myocardial infarction, he will most likely have a heart attack at once. At that time, if the two of us save him in timeâ¦â
Isabella gave Leo a meaningful look and said, âOld Mr. Landor is partial toward Ben. But if you save his life, will he change his impression of you? As for me, it also proves that I was not talking nonsense in this morning.â
âEhâ¦â Leo was tempted, but he still looked hesitant. âIsnât this inappropriate?â
âThen give back the medicine to me.â Isabella reached out to take the medicine away.
â JM M âWait, wait, wait!â Leo grabbed the medicine. âI didnât say no.â
Isabella said with a victorious smile, âHope we have a pleasant cooperation.â
Leo hesitated for a moment before he finally made up his mind. âHappy cooperation!â
He thought to himself, âGrandpa, donât blame me.
You can only blame yourself for your partiality.
You always stand on Benâs side.
If I donât fight for your affection, when can I stand out?
Moreover, I donât want to hurt you. I just hope that you can value me more.
I had no choice.â
