Chapter 11: Provocation


    By the time Isabe came out of the lounge, fully dressed, Maxwell was no longer in the office.The


    spacious room was now abnormally quiet.


    Without Maxwell''s instructions, Isabe didn''t dare to walk around.


    When it was almost noon, the door of the office was pushed open.


    Isabe thought Maxwell had returned, but instead, it was the man in sses who had given Isabe


    the contract previously.


    He nced at Isabe and nodded at her, then he took some documents and left.


    Isabe didn''t expect that she had to wait untilte afternoon.


    It was almost time to get off work when the secretary came in and informed Isabe Maxwell wouldn''t


    return as he had gone for a dinner party, and she could go home first.


    The door closed again, and that left Isabe stunned.


    Had she been waiting for nothing all this while? Was this the punishment he gave her? Thinking about


    it, Isabe felt ridiculous.


    After leaving the office, Isabe entered the elevator and left the building under a few pairs of curious


    eyes.


    After hailing a taxi and returning to Sharp Mansion, she had to ask the maid Kyra to pay for her taxi


    fees.


    Isabe felt she had never been so humiliated in her whole life.


    "Madam, Mr.Sharp has returned."


    Kyra led Isabe into the mansion and informed softly.


    "Isn''t he at a party?"


    Isabe frowned at Kyra''s words.


    "Oh, you probably don''t know Mr.Sharp does not go to parties whenever Madam Sharp is at home,’


    answered Kyra with a smile.


    With her fists clenched tightly, Isabe finally realized Maxwell had done this on purpose.


    He was deliberately making a fool out of her and embarrassing her.


    Isabe entered the mansion in silence.

    When Madam Sharp saw her, the olddy happily pulled the newly-wed to her side.


    Isabe then noticed it was more crowded in the familypared to yesterday.


    "Be,e here.They are Max''s aunt and cousin.They came to see you after knowing your marriage.’


    Noticing how close Madam Sharp was with Isabe, the mother-daughter pair, who were silent all


    along, turned to look at Isabe.


    Seeing the two women in front of her who were nobly dressed, Isabe smiled shyly and greeted,


    "Hello, I''m Isabe Hond."


    When the two looked at Isabe, they returned a smile politely in response.


    It was the type of superficial smile that the rich would put on whenever they met new people, but it


    didn''t bother Isabe at all because she didn''t expect any member of the Sharps to like her.


    Madam Sharp took rounds talking with different people then went to answer a call, leaving Isabe and


    the mother-daughter pair alone.


    Since she wasn''t very good at initiating conversations, Isabe fell silent for a moment.


    "I don''t know why Max likes you.You look like a in Jane and have a smell of poverty.Such an


    embarrassment to our family; the young woman, who was also Maxwell''s cousin, Joanna Sharp,


    commented impolitely.


    "Joan, watch your words.Be, don''t take her words to your heart.The older woman looked at Isabe


    and smiled politely, but her words was still amand.


    Isabe nodded and replied softly, "Don''t worry, I won''t.


    It''s true that I''m not worthy of Mr.Sharp.’ "Hmph! Good that you''re aware!"


    Joanna snorted coldly upon hearing that.


    Isabe didn''t want to get involved in any conflict with the Sharp family, because she didn''t expect


    Maxwell to stand on her side, so in the current situation, it was better to give in as much as possible.


    "Hey, go and get me a ss of juice."


    Joanna nced at Isabe and demanded rudely.


    Kyra was just about to serve when she was stopped by Joanna.


    "You, aren''t you my cousin-inw? Aren''t you even willing to get me some juice?"


    Since she was provoking Isabe without even blinking, Isabe smiled and stood up, "Alright, give me


    a minute."


    After giving Kyra aforting look, Isabe quickly went to get a ss of juice for Joanna.


    Thedy next to Joanna didn''t bother to intervene and just let her daughter do whatever she wanted.


    In the eyes of the rich and powerful, Isabe married way above her station.


    Therefore, it was only reasonable for them to treat her this way.


    When Isabe came back to Joanna with the juice, thetter didn''t get up.


    She leaned back on the couch and ordered, "Give it to me."
