Chapter 274

"Then go investigate."

Robert chuckled lightly, "I'm clean anyway."

Seeing how cautious Robert was, Matthew said nothing more and sat back down.

He had no evidence right now, so there really wasn't much he could do to him.

"Get out."

Hearing Matthew say this, Robert's lips curved up, "I thought you'd try to trap me here."

"Looks like you really are better than Chase."

Matthew stared at Robert.

Robert continued, "how did you survive abroad?"

Getting to the real point, Matthew knew this was Robert's true purpose.

"No comment."

Robert also gazed at Matthew. Their eyes met for a moment before Robert was the first to look away.

He turned and left the office.

Riley soon returned from outside.

"Mr. Moore, about Robert—"

"Don't worry about it."

Matthew tapped on the desk. From Robert's behavior today, he guessed he probably wouldn't go abroad, so what he needed to do was wait.

Wait for them to make their move.

"Keep an eye on the Scott Group."

When Chase was stirring up trouble at the Moore Group, the Scott Group had also been involved, just doing things secretly without being exposed publicly.

After hearing this, Riley quickly nodded, "I'll take care of it right away."

Isabella was sunbathing in the courtyard. Faye was in a good mood too and personally prepared fruits and pastries for Isabella.

"Isabella, I'm just now realizing how good it is to have Matthew taking care of things."

"I'll never complain about Matthew again."

Isabella ate the pastries, her lips curving up. After Matthew came back, the entire Moore family had returned to normal, and she felt great too.

"How about after he finishes handling everything at the Moore Group, we take a family trip?"

Faye nodded excitedly, "yes! I feel like I haven't been out in forever."

"By the time Matthew resolves everything, Mom's leg should be able to move freely too."

The two soon started watching Aaron and the others' livestream.

But a servant came in to inform them, "Mrs. Moore, Ms. Moore, Isla is here."

Isabella and Faye exchanged glances.

Isla?

They had the servant bring her in.

Isabella's eyes immediately went to Isla's belly. Her stomach didn't seem very big.

Isla also noticed Isabella's gaze. She touched her belly, her eyes looking at Isabella's stomach.

"I want to see Mr. Hayden Moore."

Isabella and Faye got up and brought her to the living room.

Faye knocked on Hayden's door.

With Jett and Faye's support, Hayden came to the living room.

"Have you decided?"

Hayden looked at Isla, his gaze falling on both Isabella's and Isla's bellies. Having the family grow was something that made him happy.

Isla said slowly, "I plan to have the child."

"I'll take care of the child until Chase and the others get out. As for what happens after that, I'm not sure."

Hayden was a smart man. He just smiled lightly, "alright."

"I'll have someone organize Liam's family assets. After the child is born, you and the child will share ownership."

Isla had been mentally prepared for this. Even half was pretty good for her.

"I'll also give you fifty million dollars."

Hearing this, Isla felt her decision was right. Fifty million dollars—if she used it well, she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.

She smiled lightly, "thank you, Grandpa."

Hearing this form of address, Hayden didn't object.

"If you have any problems later, you can contact me. I'm a bit tired."

This was a dismissal. Isla wasn't unhappy. She waited for Hayden to enter his room before turning to leave.

But soon she turned back to look at Isabella.

Isabella was a bit puzzled but didn't avoid her gaze.

"Is there something else?"

Faye also looked at Isla, feeling somewhat conflicted. She didn't feel much sympathy for her.

She just felt life was unpredictable.

Isla stared at Isabella, saying word by word, "you're really lucky."

"Happy since childhood. Even when your family went bankrupt, your parents didn't leave you with debt."

"And you naturally married Matthew. Up to today, you're really happy."

Hearing this, Isabella's expression remained calm, "compared to Cordelia, you're pretty lucky too, aren't you?"

Isla heard the mockery in Isabella's words. She smiled lightly, "but no one else in the Morris family acknowledges me."

"Are you trying to get sympathy?" Isabella said expressionlessly.

Isla stared into Isabella's eyes and laughed.

"Just expressing my feelings."

This time she really left.

Faye stared at her back, frowning, "is she trying to make peace with us?"

Isabella said slowly, "don't you think she's very greedy?"

"Cordelia is much more pitiful than her, yet she's playing the victim in front of us."

"Also, don't forget, Grandpa agreed to give her fifty million dollars, plus some of Liam's family's things. Even if some will be confiscated, most of it remains. She's made out well."

Faye thought about it and agreed, sighing, "birds of a feather really do flock together."

"We still need to keep our sympathy in check. Don't forget, she has the Morris family behind her."

In Isabella's view, Isla was not simple at all, and she was a very ambitious woman.

She didn't dislike ambitious people, but she disliked people who schemed behind the scenes!

After thinking about things for a while, Isabella felt sleepy.

When she woke up, it was already dark. Isabella first went to the bathroom.

When she came out, Matthew had already returned.

"You're back so early?"

Matthew looked at Isabella with a smile, stepped forward and gently held her, "yes, I missed you."

Saying sweet things right after coming home, Isabella couldn't quite handle it. She snorted lightly, "what are you saying?"

But she couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth. She quickly told him about Isla's visit that afternoon.

Matthew said calmly, "Grandpa and I went to the Morris family this morning. They reacted pretty quickly too."

"You don't need to have contact with her in the future unless necessary."

Isabella's eyes immediately lit up, and she said with a smile, "looks like my instinct was right. I also think she's not simple."

"Do you think she has the same thoughts as Chase?"

Matthew smiled faintly, "anyone with ambition would think that way."

"But mother and son probably won't have a chance now. We have our own children too."

"And the Moore Group has nothing to do with Liam's family anymore!"

Hearing this, Isabella felt very reassured. She touched her belly, "I'm a bit hungry."

"I just woke up."

Matthew said gently, "I haven't eaten either."

After the two went downstairs, Matthew personally cooked for Isabella.

Isabella stood at the doorway watching him cook.

"Our baby is so lucky."

"Still in the belly and already getting to eat food Dad made himself!"
