Chapter 14
Kane and Isabelle returned to The Spencer Villa.
Looking at the luxurious mansion, one couldn't help but sigh—living in a big villa like this sure is comfortable.
At that moment, Frank and the others were all waiting inside the villa.
This included Isabelle's parents.
The villa was brightly lit.
They were all waiting for news!
As soon as they saw Kane and Isabelle walk into the villa, everyone gathered around.
"Isabelle, how did it go?"
"Did you sign the cooperation agreement?"
Marilyn asked urgently.
Although Isabelle Group had promised to give them one day, it was already so late now. How could such a big company wait for people from their small family?
"I bet they didn't. It's so late—why would they wait for her? Does she really have that much influence?" Evelyn said sarcastically.
"Shut up!"
Frank snapped coldly.
Evelyn quickly closed her mouth in fright.
Frank looked at Isabelle and asked, "Isabelle, how did it go?"
Isabelle quickly pulled out the agreement. "Grandpa, I got the cooperation agreement!"
"Not only that, Isabelle Group gave us a bridge construction project worth a hundred million dollars for the Spencer family!"
"That's amazing!"
"Isabelle Group is really impressive. I can't believe they gave us a hundred-million-dollar project!"
"The Spencer family has never gotten such a big project before!"
"The Spencer family is going to rise!"
Everyone was excited.
Of course, the happiest were actually Marilyn and Jason.
Because of Kane, they had been mocked in this family all along. Today, getting this agreement, they could finally hold their heads high.
And they could move into The Spencer Villa!
Naturally, the most unhappy were Evelyn's family.
Frank quickly looked over the agreement, extremely excited. "Excellent! We're now partners with Isabelle Group! With Isabelle Group's support, the Spencer family will definitely soar!"
"Isabelle, you did very well! You're truly my good granddaughter!"
Frank said approvingly.
Isabelle found it hard to believe.
Since she could remember, Frank had never praised her!
Especially after she was assaulted, Frank had been even worse to her.
Now all of this felt like a dream to Isabelle.
Frank seemed a bit uncertain. "Isabelle, are you sure you can go sign this project contract tomorrow?"
"Yes, everything has been arranged. We just need to go to the project department tomorrow to sign the contract."
"Good, good, good!"
After that, everyone left The Spencer Villa.
This included Evelyn's family, who had just moved in one day ago.
Even Frank moved out of The Spencer Villa.
"Dad, Jason's family is too much. It's one thing for us not to live in the big villa, but how can they make you move out too?"
In the car, Ethan said indignantly.
Evelyn's eyes were venomous. "Exactly. As the younger generation, they don't respect Grandpa!"
"If word gets out, won't Grandpa be laughed at?" Roman added fuel to the fire.
After all this talk, Frank's expression grew increasingly dark.
Roman said, "I just had someone check. Isabelle Group did indeed reach a cooperation agreement with us and gave us a contract worth a hundred million dollars."
"But should we really give such a big contract to Isabelle?"
A sinister look flashed in Evelyn's eyes. "Grandpa, I'm not jealous of her. I just think that if Isabelle can kick you out of the big villa today, when her power grows, she might kick you out of the family entirely!"
"She wouldn't dare!"
Frank shouted coldly.
He took a deep breath and sneered. "Don't worry. I've already thought of this. The project is now confirmed to be the Spencer family's. Tomorrow we just need to sign."
"Isabelle's value has already been squeezed dry!"
"Tomorrow, you go to Isabelle Group early and sign the contract first."
"Grandpa, you're so smart!"
"After you sign the contract tomorrow, I'll host a celebration for you at Golden Crown Hotel!"
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
"We won't let you down!"
Evelyn's family showed sinister smiles.
At that moment, inside The Spencer Villa.
Winnie's eyes sparkled. "Winnie gets to live in a big villa!"
She ran around the spacious villa.
Marilyn looked at the large pool in amazement. "Jason, look! This pool is huge!"
"Yes!"
Jason kept nodding, grinning from ear to ear.
Although it was the Spencer family's villa, Marilyn and Jason had never lived in the villa before. They only came occasionally for family gatherings.
Now it belonged to them!
Everything felt like a dream.
Marilyn took out her phone and took photos of the villa, posting them on Facebook.
It immediately attracted a lot of attention, and in no time, she gained several thousand followers.
This greatly satisfied Marilyn's vanity!
Just then, Marilyn changed into a swimsuit.
Jason looked at Marilyn's outfit. "What are you doing?"
"Swimming!"
"Why swim so late at night?"
"I want to!"
"Forget it, Dad. Don't stop Mom!" Isabelle said with a smile.
"I'll go with you. Why swim so late at night?"
Jason's body was honest, and he accompanied Marilyn to swim.
Isabelle watched them, her eyes gradually moistening.
Since she was assaulted, Jason and Marilyn had endured great pressure and criticism. Their status in the family had plummeted, but they gritted their teeth and bore it all.
"Kane, what really happened with the agreement?"
Isabelle's gaze fell on Kane.
She felt this matter wasn't simple.
Who was Marcus?
She had actually detected a hint of respect in his attitude!
"Isabelle, didn't I tell you? When I went to take revenge on Crimson Order that day, I earned the Mercenary King's appreciation."
Kane felt a bit helpless.
I told you I'm the Mercenary King, and you didn't believe me.
And you still don't believe this?
"Alright then!"
Isabelle had nothing more to say, but she still felt something was off.
The next day.
After washing up and having breakfast, Isabelle and Kane couldn't wait to head out to Isabelle Group.
"Isabelle, where are you going?"
Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them.
The window rolled down.
It was Evelyn and Roman.
"We're going to Isabelle Group to sign the contract," Isabelle said.
"You don't need to go," Evelyn said.
"Don't need to go?"
"That's right!"
Roman lit a cigar, blew a smoke ring, and said smugly, "We went to sign that hundred-million-dollar project contract for you!"
"We've already signed the contract!"
Evelyn held up the contract and waved it in front of Isabelle, showing off.
"The contract was supposed to be signed by me. How could you sign it?" Isabelle frowned.
Evelyn mocked, "Grandpa said you worked too hard yesterday, so he had us sign the contract for you. Grandpa had good intentions."
"We secured the cooperation. How can you be the ones to sign?"
Isabelle had a bad feeling.
"Isabelle, something terrible happened!"
Suddenly, Marilyn ran out holding her phone, looking panicked.
"What happened?"
"Look at your phone!"
Isabelle took Marilyn's phone.
In the family group chat.
Frank announced that Evelyn had helped the family secure a contract worth over a hundred million dollars. He specifically praised Evelyn without mentioning Isabelle at all.
Everyone was flattering Evelyn and Roman, complimenting them.
"How could Grandpa do this?"
Isabelle's eyes reddened.
This was outright robbery!
Seeing this, Kane's eyes flashed with coldness!
The Spencer family was truly shameless and vicious!
"Let me see the contract!"
Kane suppressed his anger and forcefully snatched the contract from Evelyn's hand!
