Chapter 2076
Ding!
Around evening, while Isabel was still snuggling peacefully in Roland's arms, she was rudely awakened by her phone
ringing.
She opened her eyes.
The phone was on Roland's side, so he swiftly passed it to her.
It was Amanda calling.
She promptly answered the call, "Hey, Amanda, what's the matter?"
Amanda said solemnly, “Isabel, there’s something I need to tell you."
"Go ahead."
"After that surveillance footage surfaced online yesterday, Isabella's manager approached me, and she has been
pretty much pestering me the entire day today as well. She asked if you will post a statement on your page to help
Isabella. Essentially, she wants you to claim that everything that happened between you two was an inside joke and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto ask everyone to stop harassing Isabella over it. She says that if you do this for Isabella, they will give us anything
you want."
Isabel yawned lazily and slowly sat up. She leaned against Roland's shoulder and said disinterestedly, "No."
She would never do anything that went against her moral code.
Besides, before Roland managed to help her prove her innocence using that video, Isabella had gone at her
relentlessly.
Besides, she was the one who started this entire thing, to begin with. If she had not gone and tampered with the
dress, none of this would have happened at all.
To simply forgive Isabella for everything that had happened was an insult to herself. This was the code of ethics her
father had lectured her on as a child.
Amanda hesitated briefly before stating, "Isabel, I think helping her out this one time will be a good boost to your
public image. Besides, Isabella's team has a lot of good resources that we can use as leverage."
Isabel scowled. "What would people think if I suddenly spoke up for her now? Will they think that I'm so benevolent
and gracious, or will they think that I'm being fake?"
Everyone knew what sort of person Isabel Ross was like. She was known for being very blunt, and some would also
say that she was the type to hold a grudge.
Why would someone like her ever speak up for Isabella, especially after considering what happened?
Amanda processed this silently for several seconds before muttering, "True, but Isabella does have a lot of
resources that we can use."
Isabel was set on her decision. "I don't care."
There were plenty of remarkable acting roles going around, and it was impossible for Isabella to hog all of them
anyway. Besides, she had enough high-value roles as it was already, and it was important to learn to be content
with what she had.
Amanda chuckled. "Fair enough. We won't help them then. They had it coming anyway."
Isabel smiled and agreed, "Yeah."
After hanging up, she tossed the phone aside and looked at Roland, immediately meeting his clear and beautiful
eyes. He had been looking at her the entire time during her conversation with Amanda, so he must have caught the
gist of what they were talking about.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe lay on his chest and had the urge to tell him everything." Amanda said Isabella wants me to help her out and
say something to salvage her reputation. They said that they would give me anything I wanted. Anyway, I said no."
She looked at Roland with a fixed stare.
Roland listened to her without any trace of expression on his face. He hardly even blinked. He merely grunted a
short' hmm' in response, and that was it.
Isabel suddenly asked, "Roland, do you think I'm being too harsh?"
He told her, "No, you've done well."
Isabel was taken aback by this.
Everyone was turning on Isabella, but she was not going to help her. What would Roland think of this?
Roland seemed to notice her troubled thoughts written on her face and remarked, "You're not actively sabotaging
her. You're just minding your own business from this point on."
The entertainment industry was very competitive. One could only imagine that it was very tempting to take
advantage of someone when they were at their lowest. It was very noble to not stoop to such low tactics.
It was especially the case in this context, where Isabel had not instigated anything the entire time. It was Isabella
who tried to ruin her but had her plans backfire on her.
Isabel was not actively plotting against Isabella even when things turned out this way, thus it was considered very
noble as far as things went.
