Chapter 373
Early in the morning, Isabella took Leo to the Smith family’s mansion.
Just as she was about to go straight in with him, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.
She frowned, looked at the gatekeeper, and said, “You dare to stop me? Have you forgotten who I am?”
The gatekeeper was a little flustered, but he still said, “Miss Isabella, Mr. Smith told us that if you come back, we can’t let
you in ”
Isabella frowned again. “Although my parents are angry with me, I am their only daughter after all! Feuds between parents and children can be settled overnight! Listen carefully, let me in now. Otherwise, I will definitely ask my parents to drive you out after I reconcile with them!”
“Miss Isabella, L. The gatekeeper became more flustered.
Seeing that, Isabella said angrily. “Open the gate!”
The gatekeeper was hesitant about opening it up for her.
“Hurry up,” she said again.
The gatekeeper was indeed a little afraid of offending Isabella, so he dawdled to open the gate.
Just as the gate was about to open…
A serious voice was heard.
“How could there be strangers at my gate?”
Helping Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith walked over.
He looked at Isabella calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Isabella was stunned for a moment and quickly said, “Dad and Mom, it’s me.”
Mr. Smith looked away and then said coldly, “Guards, come over here and drive these idle people away.”
Idle people?!
Isabella was going crazy, shouting, “Dad, what are you talking about?! I’m your only daughter!”
Mrs. Smith couldn’t bear it. However, Mr. Smith didn’t waver at all and said coldly, “Security, take action now.”
Only then did the security guards move and grab both Isabella and Leo.

Then, Isabella panicked. Seeing that Mrs. Smith was softening, she shouted to her, “Mom, Mom, I know I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. I’ll stay at home obediently and listen to your arrangements from now on. I am sorry. I really

know I was in the wrong.”
Mrs. Smith hesitated for a moment. When she was about to say something, Mr. Smith said calmly, “Think about our child.”
At that, Mrs. Smith’s hands trembled.
“Child? I am your child!” Isabella shouted.
Mrs. Smith instinctively touched her stomach.
Something came into Isabella’s mind suddenly. She shouted, “You… you’re pregnant?”
But Mrs. Smith did not answer her.
Isabella widened her eyes and was frantically trying to hit her. “Why are you pregnant? Have you got my permission? I’m your only child, only child!”
Isabella used so much strength in an instant that she almost reached Mrs. Smith.
The security guards hurriedly pulled her back. Otherwise, she really would’ve hit her mother.
Seeing this, Mr. Smith got really angry.
He glanced at Isabella coldly and said, “I’ve said it before. As long as you dare to leave Riowert, you are not my daughter anymore. Do you think I’m joking with you? Your mom and I will have a new child soon. And even if we didn’t have one, we wouldn’t let you come back to harm our family!”
Mr. Smith’s words were harsher than ever.
Isabella was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, the security guards dragged her away.
“No, you can’t drive me away! I’m your daughter, your only daughter…”
Mrs. Smith turned around to look at Isabella. Her eyes were full of pity, but she didn’t say anything more.
She didn’t understand why her well–behaved daughter suddenly became so strange after getting sick.
Isabella always felt that she could do everything, but, in fact, she could not do anything at all.
This time, she had greatly offended the Landor family.
Ben was not someone to be trifled with.
It would be fine if they separated themselves from Isabella in time. Otherwise, Ben would definitely take revenge on them.
The Smith family could not bear Ben’s revenge, and neither could the child in Mrs. Smith’s belly.
For the sake of the Smith family and the child in her belly, she could only give up on Isabella.
She looked at Isabella in silence for a while and then finally looked away. Mr. Smith helped her back to their mansion.

Chapter 373
Mrs. Smith remembered that Isabella had sold her belongings and collected millions of dollars before leaving.
As long as Isabella could change her mind and live a stable life, she and Leo could live a good life with this money.
Isabella and Leo were driven out by the Smith family in this way.
“Impossible! It’s impossible,” Isabella murmured, almost going crazy. “How could they have a new child? How could it be possible?”
She felt that her parents were so heartless just because of their new child.
Otherwise, how could they be willing to give her up?
“Shut up!” Leo glanced at her with disgust. “So noisy!”
He had put up with her a little before. Now that they couldn’t go back to the Smith family, he didn’t want to do that anymore.
“You…” Isabella looked at him angrily.
“What? You’re not the daughter of the Smith family anymore. You can’t be so hot–tempered now,” Leo sneered.
Isabella gritted her teeth. “I was originally the only daughter of the family.”
Leo said, “They are about to have a new child. Who do you think you are?”
“What if the new child is gone?” Isabella asked with a trace of gloom across her eyes.
“Are you
“Are you crazy?” Leo asked in shock.
She said to him, “You have to help me. As long as I’m their only child, they’ll let me come back home sooner or later.”
Leo was stunned for a moment and felt somewhat tempted to actually do it.
He thought, She’s got a point!”
Then, he asked slowly, “What do you want to do?”
Isabella and Leo put their heads together and really worked out a plan.
A couple of days later…
They found an opportunity to bribe a servant of the Smith family to drug Mrs. Smith.
As a result, Mrs. Smith ate a little of the soup with poison in it, felt that the taste was not right, and did not continue to eat
it
However, the dosage of the poison was so high that she started bleeding because of it.
She was taken to the hospital and kept in the ER ward for three days before barely being able to save the child in her belly.

Right away, Mr. Smith was furious.
After a thorough investigation, he found that the person who did it was Isabella,
This time, there was nothing left between him and Isabella.
He handed over the evidence directly to the police station.
Then Isabella and Leo were thrown in prison.
Isabella’s money was also taken back by Mr. Smith after he proved that it was actually his.
A few years later, Isabella and Leo got out of prison.
They were separated from society, had no money, and had hated each other for a long time, but they were unwilling to let each other go.
Many years later…
Isabella had just finished washing a pile of dishes and returned home with her low salary.
She
he was
watching TV dazedly. On the TV, Ben and Susan were attending a technological forum, hand in hand.
In this life, a lot of things had changed, and a lot of things had not changed.
She had thought that she should stand at the top of the world and be an extraordinary girl after she was reborn.
But it turned out…
She was just a ridiculous clown.
After she was released from prison, her mom felt sorry for her and secretly gave her money several times.
She could still live an arrogant and willful life for a while at that time.
However, as her brother grew up, her mother came to visit less and less. Finally, she never showed up again.
After that, she spent all the money that her mother had given her.
At first, she didn’t panic. She thought that she could always find a good job with her excellent education.
And in the beginning, she did find one.
However, she was still used to living a luxurious life, and her salary could not support her high standards at all.
Thus, she began to maintain a high standard of living by borrowing money from loan sharks.
Later, she borrowed more and more money and couldn’t pay it back at all.
During this process, she and Leo began to blame each other. Then, they simply split up and went their separate ways.

Chapter 373
Isabella began to borrow money from other parties to pay back her loans
She did that again and again
During her most extreme time, she borrowed money and paid it back circularly among more than 20 parties
One day, the endless chain broke.
And she was thrown into prison again
When she came out again this time, the world was different
She still wanted to find a job, but she was already out of touch with the world.
In the end, she could only do something like wash dishes and sweep the streets.
After recalling the past, she smiled wearily, turned off the TV, and lay down in bed
Now, she didn’t even have the strength to complain. After all, there was still so much work waiting for her tomorrow
Thinking of Leo, she regretted getting to know him.
She believed that Leo thought the same of her
In Isabella’s dream
She returned to her previous life
She was still the daughter of the Smith family
Although she couldn’t have the so called love, she could always live a life of wealth
Usually, her physical activities were nding horses and shopping with her friends.
What she used to find boring had become something she could only dream of now
If she could choose again. If she could
She thought that she would never take the wrong path again.
Unfortunately, God would not give her a second chance
Until death, she never got the chance to be reborn again.
As for Leo, he lived a slightly better life than Isabella
After separating from her, he had taken advantage of his good looks and sweet words to live off various women.
Over the years, he had been living a good life relying on many rich women

Chapter 373
When he got old and had no rich women to rely on anymore, he opened a supermarket with the money he had saved. His life was not bad.
One night, he had a dream. He dreamed of a life without Isabella.
In that life, without Isabella showing up, he and his mother also had ambitions, but Ben easily suppressed them.
After realizing that they were no match for Ben at all, he and his mother stayed in line.
Ben was not a heartless person. Seeing that Leo and his mother were well–behaved and also because of Charlie, Ben let him run several branches.
In that life, although he was unwilling to give up the fight with Ben, he lived a very rich life. Moreover, because of his relationship with Ben, he was respected wherever he went. It could be said that he lived a comfortable life.
His dream was all too real, as if it had really happened.
After that dream, Leo went a little crazy and kept drinking, trying to return back to that dream.
In the end, he never woke up after drinking one night.
