After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 819: Friendship Is So Fragile

Peter Barnes had always addressed Isabella Weaver as "Miss Weaver," but now he changed to a more intimate form of address, instantly closing the distance between him and Isabella Weaver.

"Sure, I’ll definitely go when I have time."

Isabella Weaver didn’t outright reject nor did she immediately agree.

In her heart, she was still somewhat shadowed by Cora Ginger’s past words and actions.

No one in this world remains stagnant; people change, herself included.

Cora Ginger had become a stranger, and she herself had become indifferent, her heart not easily swayed anymore.

The lunch ended, with Isabella Weaver not eating much, while Cora Ginger ate a lot and seemed quite happy.

She returned to the company with her bodyguard and secretary, while Cora Ginger followed Peter Barnes into the car to go home.

"You did well today."

Peter Barnes leaned back in his seat, leisurely looking at the street scene outside the window, his tone carrying a hint of command: "The next step is to bring Isabella Weaver to the house. If you do well, your brother will be fine; if not, I’ll send him back to prison, and when it comes to losing an arm or leg, it won’t be up to me."

Cora Ginger asked with a pale face, "What do you want to do to her?"

"She is the Young Madam of the Hunter Family, what can I do to her? Don’t think too much, I just want to get connected to Harry Hunter through her. Lately, the oceanic fishing controls are getting stricter, and who knows when it might stop being profitable, so I need to find a backup plan for myself."

Peter Barnes squinted his eyes, savoring the brief contact with Isabella Weaver earlier, scolding Cora Ginger: "In the future, you’re not allowed to anger Isabella Weaver. Have you looked at yourself, you’re not even worthy to carry her shoes, and you dare to insult her! Don’t say she’s now the Young Madam of the Hunter Family, even if she didn’t marry Harry Hunter, on her own, you’re not qualified to insult her. Watch your mouth in the future, if you dare insult her again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Cora Ginger’s fingers trembled, and an uncontrollable strange thought arose in her heart.

Peter Barnes likes Isabella Weaver!

He always uses her name to have meals with her, and now he even wants to invite her to his house!

It’s ridiculous -- no matter how hard she tries, she can’t get a bit of true affection from Peter Barnes, yet Isabella Weaver does nothing, and he protects her like this.

At Royalton, she could never outshine Isabella Weaver. Even though both were dressed as waitresses, others only noticed Isabella Weaver; she had always been a mere sidekick to Isabella Weaver.

She even made Isabella Weaver look ugly with makeup, yet Harry Hunter still chose Isabella Weaver.

She never envied Isabella Weaver for marrying Harry Hunter, because even without Isabella Weaver, a man like Harry Hunter would never marry her.

But Peter Barnes was within her reach!

She couldn’t tolerate even Peter Barnes being captivated by Isabella Weaver!

Now, Isabella Weaver is already married, yet Peter Barnes doesn’t care and is trying every way to meet her.

No wonder he was willing to help her get Zack Ginger out of prison. She didn’t understand why Peter Barnes suddenly became so kind.

Now she finally understood that he was using her to get close to Isabella Weaver.

By controlling Zack Ginger, he also controlled her, making her do whatever he wanted.

Otherwise, if he approached Isabella Weaver alone, it would raise her guard.

Cora Ginger realized all this and inwardly sneered.

This might be her perfect opportunity to use Isabella Weaver’s hand to get rid of Peter Barnes!

If Peter Barnes dares to reach for Isabella Weaver, Harry Hunter will never let him go.

If Peter Barnes dies, then his huge inheritance...

No, what she needs to do first is marry Peter Barnes, otherwise, even if he dies, she won’t get a penny.
