“Isla Vaughn, the Vaughn family is finished.”
‘What? How dare Juliette curse the Vaughn family like that?‘ thought Isla.

Isla was rejected, humiliated, thrown out of the yard, trampled underfoot, and now cursed. She was completely enraged!
She wanted to get up but couldn’t.
Juliette’s foot on her chest was like a mountain pressing down on her.
Isla roared furiously, “Just you?”
“Yes, just me,” said Juliette.
Compared to Isla’s tone, Juliette’s was ice cold.
Isla said, “Dream on! If you had that kind of ability, Finn wouldn’t have chosen Bianca and abandoned you.
“You may seem to have insulted the Montgomery family and Bianca by calling off the wedding, but you’re the one who lost
your home! the most. You lost your love, your sister. You even lost
“Oh, I know why you are saying such nonsense! You hate us for not taking your side, for not helping you win Finn back. So you want to destroy the Vaughn family to show Finn, to let him see how powerful you are, right?
“Juliette, you still can’t let go of Finn. Destroying the Vaughn family is your dream, but you’ll never succeed. You can’t compare to Bianca at all. You’ll never get Finn’s attention. You are the one who lost everything.”
Isla let out an exaggerated laugh.
Juliette watched her laugh. Her eyes were devoid of anger, sympathy, or even a hint of emotion. All that remained was coldness, like her face at that moment, expressionless.
Isla laughed until tears streamed down her face, only to realize Juliette didn’t react at all. Her anger flared again.
“Did I hit your nerve? Is that why you’re not saying anything?” Isla’s voice was sharp.
“Go back and spend more time with your father, your brother, and your precious Bianca. Your family’s peaceful days are numbered,” Juliette said.
As she spoke, Juliette leaned down. Her eyes fixed on Isla with a chilling intensity.
“I will destroy the Vaughn family, bit by bit. Destroy all of you disgusting people.”
Isla shuddered.
Though reluctant, she had to admit Juliette’s gaze just now had scared her.
Juliette withdrew her foot, unwilling to speak another word. She turned to leave and caught a glimpse of a car parked in the distance.
She focused her gaze. It was Patrick’s car. The window rolled down, and their eyes met in the air

Juliette frowned and thought, ‘Has Patrick heard my conversation with Isla just now?
Has his car been parked here while we are in the courtyard?
After all, I haven’t heard the car driving over just now.’
After a few seconds of their eye contact, Patrick drove in, and Juliette went home. The door closed behind her.
Twilight gradually deepened.
Isla, lying on the ground, was utterly furious.
As the youngest daughter of the Vaughn family, she had never been treated like this before, being stepped on by Juliette today.
Naturally, she was unconvinced. She felt she had made a mistake today by not bringing anyone with her. Otherwise, she could have dealt with Juliette.
But now she didn’t dare to shout again, afraid Juliette would hit her again.
Next time, she must bring a thug!
Isla left in a huff.

thing.
thing Juliette did was go to the bathroom, stand in front of the sink, and squeeze a lot of hand
Soon, Patrick pushed the door open, closed it, and hugged her from behind.
Juliette raised her eyes and saw Patrick in the mirror, who was also looking at himself in the mirror.
Their eyes met in the mirror.
Juliette pursed her lips and said, “Isla is talking nonsense. I have no feelings for Finn anymore. He is my lifelong enemy. I just want him dead.”
Then Juliette lowered her head and smiled, a smile that was both cold and self–deprecating.
“Did you used to think I was a gentle and kind person? Now that you hear I want to kill someone, do you think I’m cruel and terrible?” said Juliette.
Juliette turned around, put her arms around his neck, and looked at him.
“Do you
think you
married the wrong person? I’m not as gentle and kind as you think.”
Patrick wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down at her. “When I married you, I didn’t think about what kind of person you were.”
He pressed his cheek against hers, his lips close to her ear, “I’m glad to know what’s on your mind. You’ve never told me any of this before.
“What are you referring to? My desire to destroy the Montgomery family, or my desire to destroy the Vaughn family. The Vaughn family is where I grew up, but I want to destroy it….

Patrick hugged her tighter. His embrace was filled with comfort and heartache.
“It must be their fault that you think this way. If there is any mistake, it must be theirs, not yours.”

Juliette stepped back a bit, so she could see his expression and eyes clearly. As she looked at him, she lowered her head and smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.
She hugged Patrick. “Thank you, Patrick. You are a good man. At least in my eyes, you are a good person.”
Patrick was silent for a moment and then said, “I want to be issued a good person card. For a man–woman relationship, this doesn’t seem like a good sign.”
Juliette’s small fist struck Patrick’s chest, and then she froze. This kind of little girl behavior… she… hadn’t done it in years.
Today, in Patrick’s arms, she actually… did it so naturally.
Patrick caught her fist, brought it to his lips, and kissed the back of her hand.
Then he took her hand and left the bathroom together to have dinner in the dining room.
After Isla left, she immediately went to the hospital.
She felt extremely wronged. Even if she couldn’t get 4 million dollars, her father would at least give her 1.5 million dollars after seeing how much she had suffered, right?
So, after entering Mason’s ward, she began to cry, “Dad, Juliette is too much. She threw away all the dolls I gave her. “I also told her everything you said, but she didn’t react at all. She even said she wanted to destroy the Vaughn family.” Mason, lying on the hospital bed, was so excited that he could hardly breathe. “So, you failed? You didn’t move Juliette?” “Juliette is not reasonable at all. I said so many good things to her, but she not only didn’t appreciate it but also beat me up and stepped on my chest. My chest still hurts. Dad, I’ve been greatly wronged.”
Upon hearing that, Mason thought for a moment, “What did you say to her? Don’t miss a word, repeat it all to me.”
Isla recounted the whole situation. She briefly described how she had lost her temper and cursed.
“Later, I was so angry that I felt she didn’t deserve to be a Vaughn so I said a couple of bad words, and she beat me up and kicked me out. Dad, Juliette is way too much. It wasn’t me who deliberately made trouble.”
After listening, Mason hated him lying in the hospital bed and couldn’t get out of bed. Otherwise, he might have thrown Isla out like Juliette.
“Idiot!” After a long while, Mason spat out these two words.
