Chapter 261

"This is just a little payback, and you can't handle it already?" Cleo said through gritted teeth, "Isabella, even if you smear us online, the Moore Group situation is already settled. Don't forget you're pregnant. You've got a long road ahead. Do you really want to burn all bridges?"

She didn't finish, but the threatening tone was crystal clear.

"So what?" Isabella's tone was flat. She thought Liam's family was really spoiled rotten.

"Forgot to tell you, my phone has a recording function," she added, "Now I have material for tomorrow's livestream. Thanks."

With that, Isabella hung up directly.

Cleo kept calling back, but Isabella just wouldn't answer.

Bianca laughed watching from the side, "Looks like she's really panicking. These people are disgusting. They clearly did wrong, but still manage to say it's someone else's fault."

Isabella took a sip of water and smiled lightly, "We can use Cleo as an entry point."

Bianca looked at Isabella and thought for a moment, "Right."

When Cleo couldn't get through to Isabella, she immediately called Ava. When Ava didn't answer, she called Faye, but Faye didn't pick up either.

After going in circles like this, Cleo's anger had nearly burned away her rationality. She called Hayden.

"Dad, you need to control Isabella," she said, "She's saying bad things about Liam and Chase online with other people. Now the Moore Group's stock market is becoming unstable."

Hayden didn't say anything on his end.

In the long wait, Cleo's rationality returned a bit, and after thinking, she changed her tone, "Dad, at the end of the day we're still family. You'd better not let Isabella embarrass herself online. If something happens to the Moore Group, then Matthew's shares can't be cashed out either. That's not good for anyone."

Hayden laughed, his tone mocking, "I get it now. You're not just threatening Isabella, you want to threaten me too. Even without the Moore Group, I can still live well."

Hayden hung up directly.

"Jett, check what's happening online."

Jett quickly grabbed his phone to look.

After reading, he carefully glanced at the drowsy Hayden and said quietly, "Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore isn't wrong in what she's saying online."

At those words, Hayden stared at Jett and sighed inwardly. Seems like he also thought Liam's family had gone too far.

He took the phone Jett handed him and looked carefully.

Jett was right. Everything Isabella said was stuff Liam's family had actually done!

And the Morris family matter—that was also true!

Thinking of how Liam and Dane were birds of a feather, Hayden smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Compared to Cleo's frenzy, the Morris family was much calmer.

After Dane learned the news, he cursed Cordelia as an ungrateful wretch a few times as usual, then said nothing more.

After all, no one said you had to love your own children. Besides, the couple believed others would understand them.

After all, Isla grew up right by their side. Cordelia's current anger and resentment was just her own bad luck—couldn't blame others.

Quincy learned about the livestream from Xavier. He just felt ashamed and annoyed. Now even the last fig leaf was gone.

He really had high hopes for Cordelia.

What a shame. Dane might regret this later!

Quincy was also regretting now, pushing so hard for the marriage.

Online, the Moore Group quickly made an issue of Isabella's background.

They even leaked information about Bianca having been married once before and having a child out of wedlock.

Isabella was angry and blamed herself. She knew Chase and his family had no bottom line, yet now they'd dragged Bianca into this.

"Isabella, don't forget what I do for a living," Bianca said, "This kind of smearing is nothing to me. The more they curse me, the more traffic I get. I can't wait to start streaming now."

Isabella looked into Bianca's eyes and gripped her hand tightly, "Bianca, this might just be the first wave of retaliation. There will be more to come."

After all, she wanted to continue livestreaming to keep Liam's family on edge.

Bianca proved with action that she supported Isabella, immediately starting a livestream.

When the count reached over 500 people, Bianca began responding to what was happening online.

She smiled and said, "I want to ask—do divorced women not deserve to live? And who did having a child out of wedlock offend? You're not my child's father, so what right do you have to say anything?"

[Feels like Bianca's more aggressive than Isabella!]

[Really calling on everyone not to be so harsh on women. Divorce is normal when you're unhappy. Very normal.]

[If life could work out, who would want to divorce? I support your divorce.]

[Raising your own child without needing others to support it—really don't know what those people are worried about.]

Isabella also watched the comments and found most were sympathetic to Bianca. She relaxed a bit.

Seeing the public opinion wasn't bad, Bianca said, "I got married abroad before, thought I'd met true love. Later I discovered I'd met a bunch of crazy people. My ex-husband was also a domestic abuser. Speaking of this, I have to thank Isabella and Matthew."

Thinking back to that time, Bianca's voice choked up a bit, "It was also because of my cowardice that my dad passed away. I was beaten by my ex-husband and injured at home, couldn't even come back to see my dad one last time."

Isabella gently patted her back.

But this was Bianca's constant regret. She felt very guilty, and as she spoke, tears flowed down.

"In the end, I found a chance to secretly buy a plane ticket back. Thanks to Isabella and Matthew—with their help, that scumbag Jesse finally divorced me."

Bianca looked at the screen, "Someone seemed to have leaked about me and Jesse before. At that time, the Turner family was bought off by someone. They thought I was pregnant with Jesse's child and wanted to use the baby to tie me down for life. Fortunately my child wasn't Jesse's. If it really was, I would have aborted it. I would never give birth to that scumbag's child!"

The comments immediately polarized.

Some thought Bianca was cruel—no matter what, you can't hurt a child.

Others thought Bianca being so decisive was good.

[Childbirth is our decision as women. We have the right to have or not have children!]

[Exactly! Why give birth for a domestic abuser?]

[Am I the only one who feels women are in a difficult situation? Bianca already said, if it weren't for Isabella and Matthew helping, she might never have escaped that abuser!]

These words touched many people.

Bianca saw it too. She smiled lightly, "Isabella and Matthew helped me, so I also hope we can find Matthew soon."
