Chapter 230 Isabella's Biological Mother
"Sawyer, you're finally back! Go save your sister right now! Sophia hurt her so badly, and she's still acting so arrogant!" When Olivia mentioned Sophia, she couldn't help grinding her teeth, her eyes full of resentment.
But Sawyer's gaze remained calm. His eyes fell on the hand Olivia was gripping his arm with. He pressed his lips together and asked, "Mom, do you really think Isabella is innocent?"
Olivia was stunned by his question. "What do you mean by that? We watched Isabella grow up. Don't you know what kind of person she is? I don't believe she would do something like that."
"Then take a good look at this." Sawyer pulled out his phone from his pocket and found the video circulating online.
In the video, Isabella's face was twisted with rage as she gripped a knife, her eyes full of hatred, lunging toward Sophia while cursing, "Sophia, you bitch, go to hell!"
If Isabella was truly kind, how could she do something so extreme?
Besides, if you think about it carefully, everything Sophia did to Isabella was just fighting back.
So Isabella could secretly frame Sophia, but Sophia couldn't fight back?
What kind of logic was that?
So Sophia did nothing wrong.
But Olivia seemed possessed, shaking her head frantically. "No, that's impossible! This can't be real!"
"Mom, the evidence is right in front of you. How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?"
Olivia's eyes immediately turned red.
Ever since Sophia disappeared nineteen years ago, Olivia's mental state had been very unstable.
Sophia was flesh that fell from her own belly, the daughter she had longed for.
When Sophia was lost, Olivia was more devastated than anyone.
She nearly developed depression because of it.
It was Isabella's appearance that saved her from that dark, hopeless place.
She gradually transferred all her love to Isabella, even spoiling her excessively.
She couldn't accept that the pure and kind daughter in her heart could do something so cruel.
Sawyer naturally knew what Olivia was thinking.
He let out a deep sigh and gently patted Olivia's shoulder.
Sawyer stopped trying to persuade her and instead said, "I won't oppose you speaking up for Isabella. After all, she's the daughter you raised for over ten years. But have you forgotten? Sophia is also your daughter, your biological daughter."
After saying this, Sawyer waved at Flynn, who had been silent the whole time, and led him into the police station.
He came today to hand over the evidence he had kept to the police.
Especially the part where Isabella instigated Alvin to rape Sophia—he had specifically highlighted that.
He had consulted a lawyer: instigating someone else to commit a crime is also a crime.
Over the past nineteen years, he had shown Isabella enough love and favoritism.
From now on, he wouldn't treat her as well as before.
Isabella was locked in a room. After waiting for a long time without Hayden and Olivia showing up, she was panicking inside.
Just when she was losing hope, the door suddenly opened.
"Isabella, someone's here to see you."
Isabella quickly looked up toward the door.
When Olivia saw Isabella, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her. But before she could speak, Isabella complained, "Why did you come so late? I've been here for so long. What took you so long?"
Olivia froze, looking at Isabella with unfamiliar eyes.
Isabella had always been gentle, kind, and considerate. She had never spoken to her in that tone before.
Olivia was momentarily stunned.
After saying that, Isabella also realized something was wrong.
Her expression became awkward, and she felt a bit regretful. She softened her tone. "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to snap at you. I was just too anxious. You don't know how scared I've been here..."
As Isabella spoke, tears started falling uncontrollably.
She was thin and pale, and now with red-rimmed eyes, looking down and wiping her tears, she looked pitiful.
Olivia felt her heart ache.
She stepped forward, grabbed Isabella's hand, and coaxed in a low voice, "Isabella, you've been wronged. Wait for me. I'll get you out of here as soon as possible!"
"Really?" Isabella's eyes lit up, but the next moment, she showed hesitation. "But the White family is involved in this. Can you really get me out?"
Olivia naturally wasn't confident, but when she met Isabella's hopeful gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "Of course! Just wait. I'll definitely get you out!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Isabella smiled through her tears.
Where no one could see, a sinister look flashed in her eyes.
No matter what it took, she had to get out. She refused to stay in this filthy place.
Besides, her plan hadn't even started yet.
After this incident, Benjamin's impression of her must have hit rock bottom.
It was all Sophia's fault! If it weren't for Sophia, why would Benjamin have stepped in to block the knife?
Now look what happened—her entire plan was ruined.
After making that promise, Olivia regretted it.
Because the other party was Benjamin, someone the Brown family could only look up to for the rest of their lives.
She walked out of the police station alone, looking a bit dazed. Was there really no way out?
Before getting in the car, a person suddenly flashed through Olivia's mind.
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
What was she thinking?
How could he possibly be willing to help her? Back then, she had left so defiantly, saying she would never go back in this lifetime.
If she went back now, he would definitely laugh at her, wouldn't he?
Maybe she should go find Hayden instead.
"To the office," she instructed the driver in a low voice.
However, what she didn't know was that right after she left, Hayden had arrived at the police station.
He parked the car, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out.
Getting out with him was a woman with a tall, curvy figure.
The woman wore high heels and a fitted pencil skirt, with black stockings adding a touch of sexiness.
The corners of her eyes showed traces of age, but her makeup was so refined that people instinctively overlooked her age.
"Hayden, wait for me." The woman spoke in a coquettish voice, clicking along in her stilettos, swaying her hips, taking small steps to closely follow Hayden.
Hayden's expression was cold, but he still stopped.
"Seraphine, don't say anything unnecessary later, okay? If anyone finds out, I'll be ruined."
Hayden reminded her coldly.
Seraphine immediately nodded. "I know, I just miss my daughter so much and wanted to see her. Don't worry, I absolutely won't say anything I shouldn't!"
Seraphine Lawson was Isabella's biological mother.
She was Hayden's first love. Back then, Seraphine was forced to break up with him and was pressured by her family to marry someone else.
But her married life was not happy at all.
Her husband would come home drunk and beat her.
Hayden still remembered seeing her covered in bruises when they reunited after so long.
