Chapter 255 This is Rosalind
Alton saw Isabella walking towards them, and a flash of disgust crossed his eyes. He said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
From the first time Isabella met Alton, she knew he was very unhappy with her.
When she ran her Inner Energy, her senses became sharper than usual, and she could hear sounds she normally couldn't. That day, she had heard everything Alton said after leaving the hospital room.
Although she didn't know who this Rosalind person they mentioned was, she figured that Alton would much rather have Rosalind be William's girlfriend.
Isabella didn't care about Alton's attitude towards her and said directly, "I'm here to see William. Is he in?"
"Mr. Brown isn't here. You should go back," Alton said.
He didn't want Isabella to have any contact with William at all, so even if William was there, he would say he wasn't.
Isabella narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you sure he's not here?"
Before coming, she had called William. If she wasn't sure William was here, she wouldn't have come at all.
Just then, Tyrell spoke up, "Ms. Taylor, Alton was talking nonsense just now. Mr. Brown is here. Do you need him for something?"
"I want to discuss with him about leaving for Novaria," Isabella said.
"Even if Mr. Brown is here, I'm afraid it's not a good time for you to go up and see him," Alton said mockingly. "Mr. Brown is on a date with Ms. Waverly right now. You'd better not disturb them!"
Hearing this, Isabella frowned.
A date?
Seeing Isabella's face turn ugly, Alton became even more pleased, "Ms. Taylor, I suggest you give up on this idea and go back quickly. Don't set your sights on our Mr. Brown. Ms. Waverly and Mr. Brown are a perfect match made in heaven. Your existence is just unnecessary."
Isabella glanced at Alton and sneered, "If things are really like you say, and I'm unnecessary, then why is William's girlfriend me and not this Ms. Waverly you keep talking about? Looking at it this way, who's really unnecessary? The unnecessary one is probably this Ms. Waverly!"
Alton: ......
"You..." Alton's face turned very ugly. "How dare you! What gives you the right to say Ms. Waverly is unnecessary?"
Alton simply couldn't stand it. Rosalind was so good, so perfect, she should have been the one standing by William's side, but instead she lost to this worthless woman!
He felt so wronged on Rosalind's behalf!
"Alright, if you're smart, you'll go notify William that I'm here," Isabella glanced at him coolly. "Instead of barking here like a mad dog."
"What?"
Alton's face immediately darkened, and he flew into a rage, "Do you have a death wish?"
How dare she talk to him like that?
In his anger, Alton raised his hand and struck at Isabella.
But Alton's fist was stopped by Tyrell's palm just ten centimeters from Isabella's face.
Tyrell stared at Alton, his face very ugly, "Have you lost your mind? Who gave you permission to attack Ms. Taylor? Have you thought about the consequences of this punch? Ms. Taylor is just a delicate girl, how could she handle a blow from you?"
"And if Mr. Brown finds out about this, you're finished!"
Alton was stopped by Tyrell, but still wouldn't back down. He said angrily, "Tyrell, let me go!"
Tyrell frowned, "That's enough, Alton! Stop making a scene."
Watching the two of them at a standoff, Isabella raised her hands and clapped, "Good, very good!"
Her gaze fell on Alton's face, her eyes full of mockery, "William assigned you the task of protecting me. I didn't expect you to be useful, but now you're actually attacking me..."
Tyrell pushed Alton away and said to Isabella, "Ms. Taylor, Alton was rude just now. Please don't take it to heart."
"Mr. Brown is in the second-floor study discussing business with Ms. Waverly. You can go see Mr. Brown directly."
As he spoke, he stepped aside and made a welcoming gesture.
Isabella said nothing more and walked straight inside.
After watching Isabella leave, Tyrell turned to Alton with a cold face and said, "You really shouldn't have done that just now. No matter what, Ms. Taylor is Mr. Brown's girlfriend. You were too rude."
"So what if she's his girlfriend?" Alton said indignantly. "Mr. Brown is just playing around with her. He'll dump her sooner or later!"
"Alton! No matter what Mr. Brown thinks about her, you shouldn't have attacked her. Ms. Taylor was right just now - our task is to protect her, but you attacked her instead. We've failed Mr. Brown's orders!"
"Tyrell, why are you speaking up for her? Don't tell me you've been charmed by her face too?" Alton was furious.
Tyrell frowned helplessly, "I'm doing this for your own good. You can't be so impulsive anymore. If one day you really hurt her, Mr. Brown definitely won't let you off."
Alton looked defiant, "I just feel it's unfair to Ms. Waverly. What does that woman have that's better than Ms. Waverly? Except for her face, she's completely worthless - stupid and dumb. When I threw that punch just now, she didn't even know to dodge. If it were Ms. Waverly, she could have not only blocked my punch but counterattacked me."
"She's not worth even one finger of Ms. Waverly. She's just a weakling who needs constant protection! She'll only be a burden to Mr. Brown!"
Tyrell frowned slightly, "Not everyone is like Ms. Waverly, a Novarian and an ancient martial arts professional. Girls from Lumaria are all like this, unable to even tie up a chicken. You can't compare Ms. Taylor to Ms. Waverly."
"Also, from now on, don't say these things in front of Ms. Taylor. After all, she's Mr. Brown's girlfriend now, and we must respect her!"
Alton looked sinister, "Give her respect? She doesn't deserve it."
——
Isabella arrived at the second-floor study door and found it was open.
Looking inside, sure enough, she saw a woman standing in front of William's desk, talking to William about something.
The woman had a slender, tall figure, wearing pointed high heels, with slightly wavy chestnut hair falling over her shoulders. Her features were understated but showed sharpness. At first glance, you could tell she wasn't some delicate girl. Instead, her every movement was confident and composed.
So this was... that Rosalind?
William immediately spotted Isabella peeking in from the doorway and waved at her, "Isabella, what are you doing at the door? Come in."
Isabella pressed her lips together and walked over.
William pointed at Rosalind and introduced her to Isabella, "This is my business partner, Rosalind Waverly. Rosalind and I recently established a new company in Novaria. Rosalind is my partner and also the vice president of the new company. She handles all the business on the Novaria side."
Isabella looked at Rosalind. Only after seeing her did she understand why Alton was so supportive of Rosalind being with William.
Not to mention Rosalind's looks - her beauty wasn't the pure, innocent kind like a white flower, nor the gorgeous kind like a rose. Her beauty was composed and confident, matching William's temperament perfectly. Standing together, they were truly a power couple!
Moreover, just from her figure, Isabella could tell that Rosalind's skills were definitely not simple. Her seemingly delicate limbs were actually very strong.
