Chapter 290
Just as Marilyn was about to make the decision, she received a call from Isabella.
She hurriedly answered the call when she saw Isabella was finally willing to talk to her.
Then, she put on her makeup and left the house.
Before stepping out of the house, Marilyn was worried there might be reporters camping outside her residence, waiting for her to come out.
Unexpectedly, no paparazzi were around to be seen after she carefully got out of the house.
To her ignorance, the entire Dellmoor's press offices, media, internet, and other information platforms had been warned by The Big Three in an effort to minimize the scandal's influence.
If anyone of them dared to harass Marilyn, they would have to bear the consequences.
Most importantly, Craig had followed Harold's instruction and arranged for many of his subordinates to stand guard near Marilyn's mansion. Their duty was to chase away any suspicious-looking people lurking around the area.
When Marilyn's fans were planning to visit her two days ago, they were also dismissed.
As a result, she was able to arrive at Island Café to meet with Isabella without any difficulty.
“You're finally willing to see me, Bella. Please listen to my explanation. Both of us fell for someone else's lowly scheme. This matter has already been investigated, and the truth has been uncovered,”
Marilyn anxiously elaborated to Isabella before she even took a seat.
“I'm already aware of the entire story, so I don't intend to blame you. Take a seat first. I've helped you order your favorite coffee.”
Isabella was touched when she took in Marilyn's concerned demeanor. She's the one who was hurt the most in this matter, yet she's taking the initiative to apologize to me. Being blessed with a best friend like her is already a pleasure.
Isabella was so moved that she had the urge to cry.
She hurriedly told Marilyn to sit down and pushed the cup of coffee on the table closer to the latter.
“I invited you out today because I want to ask your opinion of Harold.”
Isabella broke the silence after both of them took two sips of their coffees.
“Him?” Marilyn hesitated briefly after hearing Isabella's question as she was reminded of what had happened the other night.
A few moments later, she said, “I think Harold is a loyal person, and he's a man worthy of taking your hand in marriage, so I hope what transpired between him and me will not affect your relationship with him.”
Upon listening to Marilyn's response, Isabella nodded while wearing a complicated facial expression, seemingly having made a significant decision in her heart.
“What do you plan to do after this?” Isabella didn't want to dwell on subjects related to Harold, so she immediately changed the topic of conversation.
“Me? I'm planning to go on a vacation for now,” Marilyn answered slightly gloomily.
In the end, Marilyn left. However, she didn't just leave Island Café. Instead, she departed from Dellmoor.
Isabella was under the assumption that Marilyn was merely going on a holiday to take a break, so she didn't overthink the latter's words. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Staring at Marilyn's leaving figure from behind, Isabella sent Harold a message on WhatsApp: Let's get a divorce. I'll wait for you at City Hall tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.
A hint of disappointment rose within Isabella's chest after she sent the text. Nevertheless, after hearing Marilyn's reply earlier, she knew Marilyn had developed feelings for Harold. Moreover, the two have already slept together, so I can only back out and let them be together.
Meanwhile, over at the company, Harold's expression darkened instantaneously after he read Isabella's message.
Christie, standing next to him, craned her neck to look at his phone screen after sensing the changes in his mien.
Although he hastily put away his phone, she still managed to see the content of the WhatsApp text.
“Your wife is divorcing you?”
