Isabella seethed and snapped, “Watch your mouth p>
Jessica shot back with a grin, “ I really love the way you look when you’re raging in incompetence. ”
“Has no one ever told you that you’re asking to get beaten up?” Isabella asked through clenched teeth.
Jessica laughed lightly. “Plenty of people want to hit me, but no one has the guts. I bet you don’t either. ”
At that, Isabella’s pupils constricted. “You’ve misjudged me. If you dare to steal my husband, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do p>
Jessica smiled devilishly. “Then it looks like I’ll have to strike first p>
Isabella frowned, then quickly smoothed her expression. “Go ahead. I don’t think you have what it takes p>
Jessica let out a cold snort and pulled out her phone.
Just as she was about to make a call, she froze. She stared at Isabella, then sneered.
“ What?” Isabella said. “Scared now p>
Jessica replied calmly, “ You’re provoking me on purpose. You’re Lilith’s biological mother. If I lay a hand on you, no matter how it ends, Dominic and Lilith will never accept me again p>
With only a little thought, the situation became clear. From start to finish, Dominic’s only demand had been a divorce. He had never considered revenge against Isabella. If I did something behind his back, he would get angry, and my chances would shrink even further.
‘ Tsk. This woman walked straight into her own trap. Such vicious intentions. Fortunately, I am not someone to be trifled with. I saw through her scheme at once and did not fall for it.‘ With that realization, a smug look crept into Jessica’s eyes.
Isabella felt a flicker of disappointment. Jessica was not easy to handle, perhaps even more troublesome than Autumn. The thought left her dispirited.
‘It’s all Katherine’s fault. What nonsense about playing hard to get! Now other women are openly living in the house! ‘ Isabella felt truly foolish.
Why had she believed Katherine’s advice? No pestering, let both sides cool down for a few days. If she kept listening, she would lose everything.
Isabella paused, then asked suddenly, “Do you know who gave this apartment to my husband p>
Jessica took the bait, just as expected. “Who p>
“Autumn Garcia,” Isabella replied lightly.
“Autumn? ” Jessica exclaimed.
Isabella lifted her brows. “You know her p>
“ Of course, ” Jessica said with a smile. “We’re like sisters Very close p>
“Autumn also has a crush on my husband,” Isabella said evenly
“What? ” Jessica froze, then ground her teeth “Autumn, is it? Pine I’ll remember her p>
‘So much for being like sisters,‘ Isabella sneered inwardly. ‘Setting the tiger against the wolf should yield some unexpected
results. ‘
She had already decided to go back and study classic strategy books, maybe even dust off a few hard–nosed business and military case studies. Winning back a husband was no child’s play. It required a plan.

Jessica simmered with inexplicable anger, her teeth clenched. “Hmph. I treated you like a sister, and you want to fight me over Dominic p>
The words made Isabella deeply uncomfortable. “Jessica, watch your words. He is my husband. Don’t entertain improper thoughts. He wouldn’t like someone as young as you p>
“I’m young?” Jessica bristled and straightened her posture. “Open your eyes and take a good look. Who exactly is young here p>
Isabella glanced over, and her heart skipped a beat.
With such a tempting presence so close, could her husband really resist?
She had to admit it. Jessica’s striking figure stood out even in a crowd. Even Isabella felt a pang of inferiority.
Her expression shifted. “That’s all you have going for you p>
Jessica planted her hands on her hips and laughed smugly. In her mind, she scoffed. ‘You may be slightly better looking, but I’m young and full of vitality. Dominic might hold out for a day. But if I stay longer, can he really resist p>
The thought filled Jessica with confidence about the future.
Not long after, while the two continued bickering, Dominic carried the dishes into the dining room and called out, “Dinner’s ready p>
