Reborn For Revenge: Truth Uncovered

Chapter 3: Clash of Fates

"Who's out there?" A voice of seasoned authority resonated from behind Stephen—Larry Baker, undoubtedly.

"It's Mrs. Green and Miss Green." Stephen withdrew his gaze.

Perhaps he had misunderstood. How could a girl in her early twenties, freshly graduated, harbor such a venomous look? Moreover...

A trace of disdain flickered in Stephen's eyes.

Isabella's reputation in their circle had always been that of an audacious beauty, decent in looks but lacking in intellectual prowess.

Stephen stepped aside at the door, responding to his grandfather while resuming his seat on the sofa, continuing to slice an apple.

The suite, adorned with state-of-the-art facilities, was one of the best in the country. Larry visited annually for a routine checkup. Little did he expect to encounter the mother-daughter duo from the Green family this time.

"It's been a while, Mr. Larry, and you still look robust and radiant," Rebecca greeted with a warm smile, leading Isabella over to exchange pleasantries.

Seated on the bed, Larry waved his hand with a beaming smile. "Nonsense. If we talk about good health, who can surpass your father-in-law? By the way, how's he been lately?"

In terms of assets, the Green family might not match the extensive experience of the Baker family in the business world. However, in terms of background, the Greens were both prestigious and specialized. In a place like New York, filled with influential figures, they were truly remarkable.

Rebecca's husband, holding a high position, was just one aspect of their influence. Robert Green was a legendary figure in New York who had experienced countless ups and downs!

"Robert has been a bit busy lately. He mentioned before that when he has time, he'd like to play chess with you," Rebecca replied with a smile.

Larry nodded and turned his gaze to Isabella. "Why is Isabella wearing a hospital gown? Is anything bothering her?"

His concern was evident, tinged with a sense of elder care.

Seeing her daughter silent, Rebecca felt a bit puzzled, but she politely answered, "She had a little scare, nearly drowning in the pool. But she's fine now. The doctors checked, and there's nothing major!"

Green's only daughter had been pampered from childhood to adulthood. Larry's inquiry was merely a formality, not genuine worry.

Isabella couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Who would have thought that the seemingly unattainable and arrogant patriarch of the Baker family would have such a cordial side when greeting people?

Stephen, at this moment, suddenly looked up in her direction.

It was the second time!

He felt that something was off with Isabella today.

Previously, whenever she saw him, her eyes wouldn't even glance his way, and she would eagerly cling to him. She always tried to act cute in front of his grandfather, aiming for an alliance between the two families.

"Why have you been keeping your head down and silent today?" Larry noticed Isabella's unusual behavior, attempting to understand.

"Isabella is probably still recovering. Better get back to your room and rest. When you're feeling better, come over to our place. I'll have Quarky make your favorite cake." Larry, detecting her odd demeanor, attributed it to her health. To him, this girl, aside from being a bit arrogant due to her family background, didn't exhibit many other peculiarities.

Earlier, when she insisted on being Stephen's girlfriend, he had considered the idea. Unfortunately...

That Sarah Brown, shameless and persistent, ruined everything!

At that moment, Isabella suddenly raised her head, looking at Larry with curiosity. "Larry, is it true that Stephen's girlfriend died in a car accident or some unexpected tragedy?"

The entire room fell into an instant, profound silence.

The expressions on the faces of the Baker family's patriarch and grandson changed abruptly!
