Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 276: This Fire Must Burn Isabelle Sinclair

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: This Fire Must Burn Isabelle Sinclair

On the other side, Mrs. Sinclair looked around for Juliana with no results, and Isabelle was getting a bit impatient.

"Mom, she’s just deliberately avoiding us. Whether she signs the letter of understanding or not, at worst I can hire a lawyer to help me get a lighter sentence."

"What nonsense are you talking!" Mrs. Sinclair was angry, "The Sinclair Family will never allow anyone to have a criminal record! If you really get sentenced, your grandfather will definitely kick you out."

Isabelle felt a bit panicked upon hearing this.

If she loses her status as the adopted daughter of the Sinclair Family, how will she live?

"I’ll go and ask around again, see where she is?"

Mrs. Sinclair agreed.

Isabelle wasn’t completely stupid; she headed towards the direction of the service area.

The staff there should know Juliana’s whereabouts.

But just as she reached the corridor, she heard someone whispering behind the plants nearby, and it turned out to be Raine Kane.

She couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

Raine clearly "didn’t realize" someone was eavesdropping, currently pulling Zachary York anxiously.

"Sister Zachary, I swapped Lena Dalton’s wine, but I don’t know how to handle it. Do you think if we immediately report to Mrs. Sinclair, it will affect tonight’s banquet?"

Zachary York said calmly, "What’s the point of reporting to Mrs. Sinclair? In such an occasion today, she can only let it go, after all, it hasn’t caused substantive harm to Mr. Langley, but..."

Her tone suddenly changed.

"Mr. Langley’s in danger; this time Lena is drugging him. Next time, who knows what she’ll do? I suspect we might have one more Mrs. Langley to deal with in the future."

Raine said in shock, "What? How can this be? You don’t know the faces of April Wallace and her daughter. Letting Lena the petty villain succeed is worse than having Third Miss Sinclair as our boss, right? At least she’s a lady from a prestigious family and won’t make things difficult for us employees."

Zachary York shook her head, "Today, Third Miss Sinclair restrained herself greatly in front of Mr. Langley; she must be intimidated by Mrs. Sinclair. Actually, even if that intentional injury incident were reported, whether there’s a conviction ultimately, the initiative lies with Mr. Langley. After all, the key evidence was collected at his behest, whether to give it to the police is entirely up to him."

Raine Kane’s eyes had a shrewd gleam, "You mean if Third Miss Sinclair has the chance to win over Mr. Langley, she can not only be acquitted but also realize her long-held wish?"

Zachary York sighed regretfully, "It’s useless, she has no more fighting spirit. Besides, once Lena Dalton succeeds, with two women looking after Mr. Langley, where will Third Miss Sinclair have the chance in the future? I figure the final result for Third Miss Sinclair is leaving behind a criminal record and being kicked out by the Sinclair Family."

"Then... what a pity. It’s just unfortunate for us; having someone like Lena Dalton as the boss in the future, it’s unspeakable..."

Raine Kane was dejected.

Zachary York reminded him, "You’d better hide this glass of wine first, talk about it after the banquet."

Raine stuffed the wine glass deep into the dense foliage.

"Keep it here, even a dog wouldn’t find it."

Zachary York didn’t comment on her actions, "I’m busy, I’m leaving."

After finishing, the two parted ways.

Isabelle went around the back of the plants, took out the wine glass Raine "hid," shook the wine inside, and a fierce expression crossed her face.

"Want to take advantage of my downfall to steal someone from me? Dream on!"

She carried the wine and walked through the hall, ran into a busy floor manager, and directly asked, "Do you have someone named Lena Dalton here?"

The floor manager nodded, "Yes, she’s very pretty and well-liked."

Isabelle’s heart burned even more.

"Tell her to come to VIP Room Two."

"Okay, miss, please wait."

The floor manager politely left while muttering in a voice Isabelle could hear, "What kind of luck does Lena have, it’s one thing for Mr. Langley to like her, but even the wealthy miss specifies her service."

Isabelle nearly crushed the wine glass in her hand.

As for Lena Dalton.

She handed the wine to Elias Langley, who hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"Why are you here?" the man asked in a low voice.

Lena had already prepared what to say.

"Just finding some part-time work, easing my parents’ financial burden."

Elias Langley nodded, said nothing more, drank a sip of wine, and continued chatting with friends.

Afterwards, she hid in the shadows, observing Elias Langley’s reaction.

The person who sold her the drugs said they’d take effect in twenty minutes.

She checked the time, as the floor manager tapped her shoulder, startling her.

"Why are you slacking here? There’s a guest there, go to VIP Room Two, quickly."

"But..."

Lena thought the twenty minutes were almost up. If she didn’t comply, it might raise suspicions from the floor manager, so she unwillingly went.

Pushing the door open, there was no one inside.

"Excuse me, who is looking for me?"

As soon as she spoke, Isabelle walked in with a wine glass and locked the door behind her.

"Bitch, aren’t you great at seducing rich men? Today I’ll let you seduce all you want!"

Lena turned to her and instantly looked terrified!

...

At this time, the inauguration ceremony of The Innovation Hub was taking place in the hall.

Juliana and Caleb stood side by side, completing the unveiling of the hub amidst the witnesses.

As applause soared through the venue, Lena stumbled out from the lounge.

Running while undressing.

By the time the crowd saw her in the hall, she was down to two pieces.

Instinctively, people made space for her, allowing her to spin around wildly.

This was when April Wallace rushed out.

"My daughter, how did you end up like this? Come back with me now."

"Mom," Lena twisted her body, partly confused, partly coherent, "I can’t control myself, I want a man."

While speaking, she targeted a strange man at the edge of the crowd.

Immediately she swayed over to him, disregarded even her two-piece, reaching to grab the man.

The man was outraged, kicking her away with a foot.

"I’ll sue you for harassment, wait for the subpoena!"

But Lena, kicked down, showed no shame and still tried to get up to seek another.

April Wallace couldn’t stand the humiliation, hurriedly grabbed a tablecloth to wrap her daughter up and held her down tightly.

She was deeply horrified.

Wasn’t she supposed to drug Mr. Langley?

How did she consume it herself?

But with so many eyes watching now, she dared not ask more, and could only cry, attempting to regain her daughter’s sanity.

Strangely enough, ever since it happened, no security came forward to drag them away.

Juliana quietly watched from the crowd, a faint smile on her lips.

Raine Kane subtly approached her from behind, whispering, "When the floor manager sent her to serve drinks, I swapped the wine. So Mr. Langley’s glass was clean. However, the drugs Lena brought were of poor quality, so as per your orders, I replaced them with this year’s explosive new product, delivered into Isabelle’s hands. The floor manager is our person and acted well, I gave him a bonus."

Juliana said lightly, "Zachary also performed well, don’t forget her."

Raine Kane nodded in agreement, but seeing Juliana’s expression slightly darken, he quickly asked, "Is something else wrong?"

"The fire must spread to Isabelle."

Raine Kane chuckled, "In such matters, naturally I’ll do it personally."
