Chapter 212 Your Sister from the Countryside Changed Her Mind?
Isabella was very confident because she knew how important that shipment was to Clarence, and there was no way Clarence wouldn't be afraid of being investigated. All of this was enough to keep Clarence on edge.
As long as Clarence still wanted to live peacefully, he would definitely contact her.
William glanced at her with narrowed eyes, his gaze full of affection. "Well, you're pretty impressive."
"Of course I am. Now I need to go back and have a serious talk with Hayden, ask him why he was in such a rush to discuss marriage with the Baker family. Did he ask for my opinion?"
"Alright, call me if you need anything."
William wasn't worried at all, because he had already gotten a firm grip on everything happening at the Taylor Villa.
The kind of accident from his past life would absolutely never happen again.
——
The Taylor Villa.
Hayden heard the noise and looked up. "You're back?"
"Of course I had to come back. If I didn't, I wouldn't even know when someone arranged my wedding date behind my back."
Isabella sat down directly on the sofa across from him.
Hayden's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke: "Your brother told me you didn't even get to meet Clarence. You can't get the Crown District project at all. If I don't let your brother go to the Baker Villa, should I just watch the company fall apart?"
Isabella smirked. "So you never believed I could get the project, did you?"
Hayden laughed mockingly, not even bothering to hide it. His eyes were full of contempt as he looked at Isabella. "It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that you really haven't made any progress. You couldn't see Clarence today, you won't see him tomorrow, and you definitely won't see him the day after."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hayden's phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.
Hayden glanced at the caller ID and froze, somewhat surprised. "Clarence?"
Not long ago, after he had contacted Clarence multiple times trying to get that project, Clarence got annoyed and blocked him.
Clarence actually unblocked him and was calling him first?
What was going on?
Hayden quickly answered the phone.
Clarence's anxious voice came from the other end:
"Mr. Taylor, your daughter came to see me this morning, but I was blind and didn't meet with her. She didn't leave me her contact information, so I had no choice but to contact you. Can you pass a message to your daughter? I really need to see her right now!"
Hayden gripped the phone and suddenly looked at Isabella, his eyes full of disbelief.
This was the first time he'd heard such humble words from Clarence's mouth.
"You're saying you want to see Isabella?" Hayden asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I need to see her. Is that possible?"
Clarence seemed very anxious and continued: "I know your daughter came to see me about the Crown District project. Mr. Taylor, rest assured, the contract for this project hasn't been signed yet. As long as your daughter is willing to help me with my urgent problem, I will definitely give this project to the Taylor Group!"
Hayden was completely stunned.
Clarence's attitude was like night and day compared to a few days ago.
Hayden thought for a moment, not knowing what to say into the phone.
"Give me the phone, I'll talk to him," Isabella said.
Hayden quickly handed the phone to Isabella.
Isabella spoke directly to the person on the other end: "Mr. Fisher, I'll come to Ascend Global Group to meet with you now."
"Good." Clarence said repeatedly, "Ms. Taylor, I'll wait for you."
Isabella didn't say anything else and hung up directly.
Hayden looked at her with a face full of surprise. "Clarence didn't want to see you this morning. How did his attitude suddenly change?"
Isabella smiled faintly. "You want to know?"
"Of course."
"I'm not telling you."
Hayden: "......"
Isabella said casually: "You heard what Clarence said on the phone just now. Do you still think I can't get this project?"
Hayden suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
From Clarence's attitude on the phone, it was as if he couldn't wait to hand the project over to the Taylor Group. Naturally, he no longer thought Isabella couldn't get the project.
"What's the urgent problem he mentioned on the phone?" Hayden asked.
"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that I can solve his urgent problem for him."
Hayden paused, then smiled. "Isabella, we're father and daughter. What can't be said between us?"
He really wanted to know what leverage Isabella had on Clarence.
"Mr. Taylor, I think that's not something you should be concerned about. What you should be thinking about now is that we clearly agreed before - as long as I help you get the Crown District project, I wouldn't have to marry Zachary. Now the project is within my grasp, but you've broken our agreement and had Chase go to the Baker family to discuss the marriage on his own. So do I still need to go see Clarence?"
Hearing this, Hayden's face immediately darkened.
"Isabella, Dad was wrong about this. Dad shouldn't have doubted you."
Isabella just looked at him coldly without saying anything.
Seeing her unmoved, Hayden got a bit anxious. "Dad will arrange a driver to take you to see Clarence right now, okay? Since Mr. Fisher has softened, we should close the deal as soon as possible to avoid any complications."
Isabella remained calm. "I can go, but shouldn't you completely give up on the idea of a marriage alliance between the Baker family and our family? You can't have it both ways. You can't expect me to help you get the Crown District project while also wanting to get financial support from the Baker family through me, right?"
Hayden thought for a moment and picked up his phone. "I'll call Chase right now."
——
Chase had been waiting at the entrance of the Baker Villa for four or five hours, from noon until dark, and had just gotten permission - Grace was willing to see him.
Grace took a leisurely sip of tea, glanced at Chase, and said slowly: "What's this? Has your sister from the countryside changed her mind? Is she willing to marry our Zachary now?"
"She's naturally willing," Chase said.
Hearing this, Grace's lips curved slightly upward, feeling somewhat satisfied.
She knew it - how could any girl not want to marry their Zachary? Zachary was so outstanding, girls were lining up to marry him.
"Grace, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. I hope you won't take what my sister said to heart."
"Apologize?" Grace raised her chin proudly. "If there's an apology to be made, she should come apologize herself. If she doesn't come apologize, I can't get over my resentment, and naturally I can't accept her marrying into the Baker family."
After hearing this, Chase immediately said without hesitation: "My sister will come apologize to you in person!"
Having Isabella come apologize was no big deal - it was something Isabella should do anyway.
"Mr. Taylor is indeed sincere." Grace smiled.
She hadn't really planned to refuse this marriage. Although Isabella was a bit unruly, she not only had valuable gemstones but also connections with the Brown family and the Parker family. Considering these two points, she still wanted Zachary to marry Isabella.
Making Isabella come apologize was just to establish her authority.
Otherwise, after Isabella married in, she might not be properly obedient.
