Listening to Grace’s sobbing through the phone, Isabella suppressed the intense hatred in her heart and consoled her: “Grace, don’t just cry. We need to figure something out.”
‘I don’t have much influence with your brother right now, but what about… asking Sophia for help?”
Right now, she’s the most important person to your brother. Whatever she says, he’ll definitely listen. Why don’t you try that?”
While her mouth spoke these words, her heart was filled with hatred. Even a fool could see that the reason Henry was being so harsh with Grace, disregarding even sibling affection, was to avenge that bitch Sophia.
He wasn’t like this before!
All of Henry’s kindness used to be reserved for Isabella alone.
Now that he had given his preferential treatment to another woman, how could she not hate it!
Therefore…
Although she knew Sophia wouldn’t plead for Grace, Isabella deliberately suggested this idea to make Grace hate Sophia even more.
She was deliberately turning Grace against Sophia.
Grace, that idiot, couldn’t withstand the slightest provocation. Three sentences were all it would take to make her lash out. Having her confront Sophia was the perfect plan.
After hearing Isabella’s suggestion, Grace was filled with resentment: “Isabella, are you serious? You want me to beg that bitch?”
You know how much I hate that bitch. How could you suggest something like this?”
“To be honest, I’d do anything else, but I can’t bring myself to beg that woman!”
Ask her to beg Sophia?
That was worse than asking for her life!
How could Isabella suggest such a terrible idea?
Isabella knew Grace wouldn’t easily agree to beg Sophia. She didn’t get angry but simply waited for Grace to finish venting. When silence fell on the other end of the line, she finally spoke.
With careful persuasion: “Grace, you need to understand that things aren’t like before. Sophia means much more to your brother th is higher than mine.”
“If you really want to get out, go to her.”
“Your brother won’t even talk to me now. He doesn’t answer my calls or visit me in the hospital. What can I do as a sick person?”
“I’m only telling you this because it’s you. We’re close, so I’m willing to help. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother.”
“You asked me to think of a solution, and I did. This is the best I could come up with. If you don’t want to do it, then I can’t help you.”
do now. Her position
“Grace, you’re grown up now, no longer a child. You can’t be so willful anymore. Sometimes, you need to assess the situation and adapt. Do you understand this principle?”
If it weren’t for the fact that this dead girl still had sume use, Isabella wouldn’t waste her breath talking so much.
She’d already said so much, and the dead girl still wouldn’t agree. What was the point!

Chapter 206
Just as Isabella was about to give up in frustration, Grace finally agreed on the other end of the line.
‘Isabella, you’re right. I understand now. I’ll call my mom right away and ask her to figure something out.”
After hanging up the voice call, Grace thought for a moment, then made a voice call to Catherine.
Late at night, even though Catherine’s phone was on silent, her expression changed when she saw her daughter’s incoming call.
Pretending to be calm, she glanced at Richard sitting on the sofa nearby, head lowered as he reviewed documents, and quietly declined her daughter’s call.
Instead, she sent a text message.
“What’s wrong? It’s the middle of the night, and your father is still here with me!”
Because Richard was sitting nearby, Catherine didn’t want to risk confrontation, so she texted Grace instead.
This dead girl, why would she call at this time?
What was wrong with her!
Grace, who had originally intended to complain about Sophia to her mother, was furious when Catherine refused to take her voice call. She angrily pounded the bed beneath her.
Cursing under her breath: ‘And she calls herself my mother? She said she’d always have time for me no matter when I needed her. Bullshit!”
After her outburst, she received Catherine’s text reply, which slightly diminished the anger on her face.
She immediately replied to Catherine: “Oh, I see. When can you get me out of here? I’ve been locked up for almost half a month and I’m so bored!”
To express her anger, she added an angry emoji.
She just hoped her mother would understand how she felt and get her out soon.
Because Richard was present, Catherine couldn’t reply immediately.
After a few seconds, Grace finally received her response: “You think you’re the only one who’s anxious? Don’t you think I am too? If you hadn’t been so impulsive last time, would you be in this situation now? You want to get out early? Dream on!”
At Billy’s birthday party, Grace had turned a nice celebration into a disaster. William hadn’t said anything yet, but the current punishment for Grace wasn’t severe enough. Otherwise, who knew what punishment William would impose!
After all…
William was extremely biased. He practically treated Sophia like his own granddaughter!
It was strange–Sophia had no blood relationship with William whatsoever, so why were they so close?
After reading her mother’s reply, Grace was furious.
Blood rushed to her head as she stood up and paced around the room, constantly cursing: “I became like this because you told me to stand up for Isabella! When you asked me to do that, weren’t you also looking to benefit?”
“Without me, could you have gained so many advantages?”
Her mother’s current attitude left her heartbroken.
Originally, she had planned to beg her mother to quickly get her out. Any later, and her brother would throw all her accumulated possessions onto the
Chapter 206
Those things had cost her a fortune!
The thought alone was heartbreaking.
She opened the dialog box, intending to say some harsh words to her mother. Her fingertips typed out the message, but then she deleted it.
Now, she had nowhere else to turn. What could she do besides begging her mother?
Gritting her teeth, she took back the harsh words she was about to type and sent a new message to her mother: “Mom, Dad and Grandfather love Sophia so much. Why don’t you go ask Sophia to plead for me? If she’s willing to speak up for me, Dad and Grandfather will definitely let me out. Mom, please.
When Catherine saw her daughter’s reply, she nearly threw her phone.
But…
Afraid that Richard would notice, she had to maintain a calm appearance as she used her phone.
How could Grace say something so stupid?
Going to Sophia would just be humiliating herself!
Looking at the cold text on the screen, she wanted to scold her daughter harshly.
Then she reconsidered: At this point, only Sophia’s words would be effective. Going to her and asking her to plead for Grace might actually be the only way.
Slowly putting down her phone, after careful consideration, she replied to her daughter with a single word: “OK.”
When Grace saw her mother’s reply, she jumped up with joy.
“Sophia, if you help me this time, I can forgive all your past offenses against me. You’d better cherish this opportunity!”
