Chapter 134 Waiting for William to Teach Her a Lesson
Isabella froze when she heard how he addressed her.
Little sister?
She stared at Gabriel suspiciously, her brow furrowed.
Was Gabriel sick or something? Calling her that - didn't he think it was really weird?
"Captain, who is this?" Austin asked, confused.
"He's the youngest son of the Taylor Family, also captured by the Anderson Family."
Gabriel stared blankly at Isabella, hearing her coldly say "the Taylor Family," as if the Taylor Family wasn't her home. As if everyone in the Taylor Family had nothing to do with her...
He opened his mouth to say something, but then remembered when Isabella first returned to the Taylor Family - they had treated her coldly, firmly refusing to acknowledge her identity, even claiming publicly that she was the nanny's child.
Those scenes, Isabella's careful attempts to please them, and the longing for acceptance in Isabella's eyes...
Gabriel couldn't help but clench his fists.
It was too much!
How could he have allowed Isabella to be treated that way?
Isabella was his real sister. How was Isabella any less than Bianca? Her grades were better than Bianca's, she was prettier than Bianca, and kinder too. Why wasn't she good enough to be the Taylor Family's daughter?
It was all their fault. They had been blinded by Bianca, which led them to shut Isabella out while giving everything to an ungrateful person.
But fortunately, there was still time.
From now on, he would be good to Isabella, let her feel the warmth of family. Slowly, Isabella would return to the Taylor Family.
Austin stepped forward and shook the iron gate, finding it locked with chains. "Captain, this chain..."
Isabella crouched down and easily picked the lock with a wire.
She pulled out the chain and opened the door.
Austin beside her couldn't help but exclaim, "Captain, you can even pick locks? I admire you more and more."
Gabriel was also surprised seeing Isabella's skilled movements.
The chain that had trapped him for so long was just opened by Isabella so easily.
He never knew Isabella had this skill.
And who were these people with her? Why was Isabella with them, and how could she break in to rescue him?
Gabriel suddenly realized he knew nothing about Isabella.
"Let's go. He's not who we're looking for. We need to find a girl."
Isabella had no time to waste here.
She'd already opened the lock for him. Gabriel could walk out himself.
She turned to leave.
Gabriel looked at her back and couldn't help calling out: "Little sister..."
Isabella paused slightly, turned back and looked coldly at Gabriel. "Gabriel, I don't know what your purpose is in suddenly acting like this, but whatever you're planning, please don't address me that way again."
Gabriel unwillingly clenched his palms, wanting to say more, but Isabella's figure had already disappeared around the corner.
——
Maddox came to the entrance leaning on his cane. Seeing the bodyguards lying everywhere groaning, even he was shocked by such a brutal scene.
He gasped.
That girl had injured so many of his people with just one move.
Suddenly, Ace beside him murmured:
"Mr. Anderson, look, that's..."
Maddox looked over and saw several black sedans parked in the distance.
A man got out of the first car, wearing a pure black suit, tall and straight.
He walked toward them, followed by several bodyguards who respectfully stayed by his side.
Maddox watched from afar until the figure approached. When he saw the man's stern face clearly, that deadly aura instantly hit him, like a ruler over all, intimidating to behold.
Such presence.
It could only be William.
Just as he was wondering why William would come here, Ace beside him reminded, "Mr. Anderson, have you forgotten? Today you scheduled a meeting with William about that business deal."
Maddox suddenly remembered.
Right!
He was the one who arranged to meet William.
He'd been so busy with Xanthe's surgery lately that he'd gotten confused and forgotten the scheduled time.
William walked over, his face cold as frost, radiating an unapproachable air. His cold gaze swept over the bodyguards lying unconscious all over the Anderson Manor grounds, and he asked, "Mr. Anderson, were you robbed?"
Maddox walked toward William with his cane, saying urgently: "William, your timing is perfect!"
"The Anderson Family rarely asks anyone for help, but today I'm willing to put aside my pride and hope you can help me get revenge!"
William's eyes moved slightly. "What revenge?"
"To be honest, these dozens of people in the Anderson Family - injured and disabled - were all beaten by a gang of thugs. Not only did they hurt my people, they broke into my home and ran wild. I'm helpless, I can't do anything about them. Fortunately, you arrived in time!"
William narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Anderson, are you joking with me? Who would have the guts to break into the Anderson Manor?"
"To be honest, they came here today with a purpose - to take someone from me."
William stared at him, speaking flatly, "Why would they take someone from you?"
"William, this is the Anderson Family's private matter. I'd rather not tell you."
"Since Mr. Anderson finds it inconvenient to tell me, naturally I find it inconvenient to get involved."
Maddox paused at these words, a look of conflict crossing his face, but finally he spoke:
"Fine, there's no harm telling you. I captured a girl who can save my granddaughter's life. It's because of this that I offended them."
"William, if you can help me deal with those people cleanly, I'll only charge you eighty percent for that shipment."
William raised an eyebrow slightly. "That's it?"
Maddox looked at his disdainful expression, both shocked and angry. "What else? What more do you want?"
William looked at him indifferently. "The terms you're offering aren't enough to move me. If you want me to help you, you'll have to give me that shipment for free."
Maddox was shocked. "What an appetite you have! That shipment is worth tens of millions of dollars!"
William didn't care and turned to leave. "In that case, you're on your own."
"You...!"
Maddox's face turned red with anger.
If Noah and Ulysses couldn't get here quickly, he would never have asked William for help.
William was taking advantage of his situation!
Watching William's back, Maddox held back again and again, finally gritting his teeth: "Fine, the shipment is yours!"
Only then did William stop and walk toward the Anderson Manor courtyard.
Maddox followed closely.
He glanced at the four or five people William brought. "William, you didn't bring more people? Better call everyone up, or they might get beaten too."
William's face darkened. "Are you doubting my ability?"
"I'm not doubting your ability, it's just that you saw the carnage at the entrance."
William laughed coldly. "Don't worry, Maddox. I take money to do the job - I'll handle things properly for you."
Seeing William so confident, Maddox didn't say more.
After all, from what he knew of William, he never did anything he wasn't sure about. And William never made promises lightly - what he promised, he would definitely deliver.
Maddox immediately felt confident.
That savage girl...
He was waiting for William to teach her a good lesson!
