Chapter 330 Thaddeus, Why Are You Not Speaking?
When Gwyneth heard that Thaddeus and Gino had arrived, she wasn't surprised at all. With a calm expression, she had Knox bring them in.
Soon, the hall was crowded with people.
Gwyneth looked at the anxious Thaddeus and the others, and asked, "Thaddeus, you're in such a rush to visit me so early in the morning. What's going on?"
"Gwyneth, you sent people to beat up my son Milan and now you're acting like nothing happened. You have no shame!" Thaddeus said angrily.
Gino also spoke up, "Ms. Powell, you beat Milan up like that for no reason. That's not right, is it? Just because the Powell family is powerful doesn't mean you can bully people."
Hearing this, Gwyneth looked confused, "Really? Milan was beaten up?"
"Gwyneth, stop playing dumb!" Thaddeus glared at her, "Don't think I don't know it was you who sent people to do it!"
"Really?" Gwyneth's lips curved into a cold smile, "You keep saying I sent people to beat up Milan. I want to ask, do you have any proof?"
Thaddeus immediately shouted, "Of course I have proof! Milan said only the Powell family had a motive!"
"What motive?" Gwyneth asked, "I'm quite curious why I would send people to beat up Milan. After all, Milan and I have no grudges. Why would I go through all that trouble to beat up a young person?"
"Of course it's because Milan sent..."
Thaddeus stopped mid-sentence, suddenly freezing.
He looked at Gwyneth sitting in the main seat and swallowed the words "Archer assassin."
He naturally couldn't say out loud that Gwyneth's motive for having Milan beaten was because Milan had tried to assassinate her.
Seeing him suddenly go silent, Gwyneth said, "Why did you stop talking?"
Thaddeus clenched his fists, his face turning ugly.
He had been too angry just now and almost forgot that Milan sending someone to assassinate Gwyneth was something that couldn't be mentioned.
Gino beside him also got anxious and urged Thaddeus, "Thaddeus, say it! What was Ms. Powell's motive for having Milan beaten?"
Thaddeus was at a loss for words.
Gwyneth coldly glanced at him and said, "Thaddeus, everything needs proof. Those are your own words. You keep saying I sent people to beat up Milan, so you need to show me the facts. Milan and I have no grudges, so why would I send people to beat him? Besides, what would I gain from beating him?"
Thaddeus opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a moment.
Damn it.
He should have known it would turn out like this!
That's why he had always warned Milan not to act on his own, or they'd be the ones suffering!
Now look, they had to swallow this bitter pill whether they liked it or not.
Thaddeus clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, "I was confused. Let me go back and find out the truth first."
After saying this, Thaddeus left in embarrassment.
Isabella came out from the shadows, watching Thaddeus and the others leave empty-handed, and couldn't help but laugh inside.
They got what they deserved.
But...
She turned to look at Gwyneth, "Milan was abused. Looking at how Thaddeus was today, he definitely won't let this go. I'm afraid he'll resent the Powell family even more."
"So what?" Gwyneth said dismissively, "The Guest family isn't the only one that hates the Powell family. Should I pay attention to every single person who hates me?"
"The secret struggles among the forty-three families never end."
Isabella nodded, understanding this principle well.
Gwyneth thought of something, "I've already talked to Radiant University. By my count, tomorrow is your first day of school. Tomorrow morning, I'll go with you to the school."
"By the way, Isabella, Radiant University has seven major departments: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, languages, medicine, and computer science." Gwyneth said, "When you enroll, you need to choose one major for in-depth study."
"For choosing your major, just go with what you like. After all, the academic path is long, and if you want to go far in a certain field, maintaining some passion for it is essential."
Isabella didn't have any particular preference for a major.
"I'll choose physics," she said casually.
"Okay." Gwyneth nodded, "I'll have the principal arrange for you to be in the physics department."
After chatting with Gwyneth for a bit more, Isabella went for a walk in the castle garden.
Although the castle was big enough, sometimes she still inevitably ran into certain people.
Like Kismet.
Isabella had only walked a few steps when she heard Kismet's sinister voice, "Even Viperleaf poison couldn't kill you. You're really lucky to be alive."
Finnegan was with Kismet, also staring at Isabella darkly, looking like he was disgusted by her.
At first, Kismet had been planning how to drive Isabella away, but then it turned out Isabella was Gwyneth's daughter!
Kismet just couldn't understand how someone as disgusting and lowly as Isabella could be Gwyneth's daughter. Isabella's status was actually more noble than hers!
Isabella looked at Finnegan and Kismet, her eyes narrowing slightly, "So it seems you really want me dead?"
Kismet sneered, "Of course."
She wished Isabella would die.
After all, she had lost an arm because of Isabella, and they were mortal enemies for life.
"Then it seems your existence is a threat to me."
As Isabella spoke, she called out directly, "Someone come here."
Hearing her suddenly call for people, Kismet's expression stiffened, and she stared at her warily, "Isabella, what are you trying to do?"
Soon, several patrolling guards came before Isabella and bowed to her, "Ms. Isabella Powell."
Isabella pointed at Kismet and Finnegan and said, "They just threatened to kill me. Take them away quickly."
The two guards were shocked to hear this.
"What?"
Kismet and Finnegan actually threatened to kill Isabella?
This was a huge deal for them.
After all, just yesterday Isabella had been assassinated, and it was done by someone from inside the castle, so today they were all being extra careful and vigilant, even strengthening searches of people inside the castle.
They were afraid of exactly this kind of thing happening again.
The guards' looks toward Kismet and Finnegan immediately turned cold and serious.
"Quick, arrest Kismet and Finnegan!" one of them said, "They actually want to harm Ms. Isabella Powell!"
Hearing this, the others immediately grabbed Kismet and Finnegan.
Kismet and Finnegan were shocked and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Who gave you permission to treat me like this? Let me go, let me go now!"
"Isabella, how dare you! You actually had them arrest me!"
The guards acted as if they didn't see their struggles, and instead asked Isabella seriously, "Ms. Isabella Powell, how should we deal with these two?"
