Chapter 189 Bianca Was Involved in All This
William stood less than five meters away from Indigo, dressed in a black suit that was impeccably pressed, his features sharp and coldly handsome like a sculpture.
William's narrow eyes were slightly narrowed at the moment, sizing up Indigo with complete coldness in their depths.
He just stood there, radiating such an overwhelming aura of authority that it was suffocating.
This wasn't Indigo's first time seeing William - how could she not recognize him?
"Mr. Brown..."
Her lips trembled for a long time before she could speak.
William stared at her, his gaze cold and tinged with displeasure.
Indigo immediately became so nervous her heart felt like it would jump out of her throat. Why would William appear here? She couldn't figure it out, and could only force out a strained smile.
William's expression remained unchanged. His thin lips parted slightly as he spoke:
"I heard next month is your wedding to the seventh young master of the Martinez family."
"Marrying into a big family, it's natural to think highly of yourself and act arrogant."
"The Martinez family and the Taylor family might be untouchable, but I'm someone you can afford to offend."
Hearing this, Indigo's face turned even paler.
What was going on?
Last time being a coincidence was one thing.
But why was William standing up for Isabella again today?
Could Isabella actually know William?
William was someone even the head of the Martinez family had to respect.
Indigo bit her lip, panic and anxiety flooding through her. "Mr. Brown, I..."
Just then, another icy male voice rang out:
"For the second young lady of the Rodriguez family to do something like this is truly surprising."
"However, to make a mistake and then plan to just walk away as if nothing happened - isn't that showing too little respect for the guests present?"
Hearing the voice, Indigo whipped her head toward the speaker. She saw a man in a white suit, his figure as tall and straight as William's, with perfectly sculpted handsome features, radiating an aura of restrained nobility and composure.
This was...
Soren!
Although Soren kept a low profile, Indigo had seen him on TV before.
With just one glance, Indigo's expression worsened again, her widened pupils filled with shock.
Why was Soren here too?
Could he also be here for Isabella's birthday party?
It was just a small birthday party, yet both Soren and William were attending.
What was going on?
Indigo felt her mind go blank.
Ryder was the first to react, pushing Abigail in front of Isabella. "You idiot! Hurry up and apologize to Isabella!"
Abigail looked at William and Soren nearby, then at Isabella.
But the lesson from last time was still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel frightened.
After hesitating several times, Abigail could only bite her lower lip reluctantly and say to Isabella: "I'm... I'm sorry."
"I already said from the beginning that an apology means nothing to me." Isabella glanced at her indifferently, then turned her gaze to the police. "Officers, please handle this by the book."
The man tied up in the room was the best evidence.
The lead officer nodded and walked toward Abigail. "Abigail, then we'll have to ask you to come with us."
Indigo saw the handcuffs in the officer's hand and her expression changed drastically.
"No!"
She absolutely couldn't let Abigail be taken away like this.
Indigo's eyes darted around quickly, then suddenly landed on Bianca. "Bianca, dare you say that everything Abigail did today wasn't instigated by you?"
"You used Abigail as a pawn, manipulating her to go after Isabella. Bianca, you're really something!"
As Indigo's accusatory voice rang out, Bianca's eyes flew wide open, her body freezing in place.
The guests nearby looked confused.
"Indigo, what do you mean by that?"
Indigo snorted coldly and turned to question Abigail directly. "Abigail, tell me the truth. Was everything today instigated by Bianca? Did she tell you to find that man to rape Isabella?"
Abigail's eyes widened slightly. She glanced at Bianca, then lowered her head and pressed her lips together without speaking.
"Abigail!" Indigo looked at her with frustration. "Do you know the consequences of being taken away by the police? For the sake of Bianca, are you really willing to be sentenced? At this point, Bianca is watching you get taken away without saying a word to explain - do you still foolishly think she really considers you a friend?"
Abigail was stunned by the scolding.
"Abigail, why are you still so blind?" Indigo was furious. "Don't you understand yet? Why doesn't Bianca do these things herself? Why does she always have you do the dirty work? It's so that when someone finds out, she can wash her hands clean of it all!"
"You're just a pawn she's using against Isabella!"
Indigo's sharp, frustrated voice filled Abigail's ears.
Abigail was stunned.
Was she just a pawn Bianca was using against Isabella?
She couldn't help but remember what Sofia had said:
"She usually acts all kind and innocent, but behind the scenes she does things that only benefit herself at others' expense. She's like this with Isabella, and she'll be like this with everyone else. Abigail, if you stay with her, sooner or later she'll ruin you."
Sooner or later, she would be ruined...
Abigail looked at the handcuffs in the officer's hand, her eyes confused.
"Abigail, if you don't want to be taken away by the police, tell the truth. Otherwise, no one can save you." Indigo said again.
No one can save her...
Abigail's face showed struggle and pain. Finally, she said helplessly: "Sister, I wasn't the only one who did these things."
"It was Bianca... Bianca and I planned all of this together."
"She knew everything. We agreed that we'd have a waiter drug Isabella's drink, then Bianca would take advantage of Isabella's confusion to get her into the room. Then Bianca would call everyone to come watch Isabella being... raped."
Though Abigail's voice wasn't loud, everyone's attention was focused on her, and everyone present heard her words clearly.
The crowd immediately erupted.
"What? So all of this was actually planned by Bianca?"
"No matter what, Isabella is still her sister. On such an important occasion today, she conspired with Abigail to find a man to violate Isabella's innocence. She clearly wanted to humiliate Isabella. That's really vicious."
"She's afraid Isabella will take away her position as the Taylor family's daughter, so she wanted to destroy the Taylor family's real daughter's reputation."
"Taking over someone else's nest wasn't shameless enough - now she's using these schemes to harm people. The Taylor family raised Bianca all these years, and they raised an ungrateful person! She almost destroyed their own daughter!"
"If you ask me, since they've found their real daughter, why keep this fake one at home? Isn't this deliberately making their real daughter uncomfortable?"
"Today it's drugging, tomorrow what will it be? Keeping such a ticking time bomb at home - will the Taylor family's real daughter even survive?"
