Chapter 975

Isabella Langley rolled her eyes. "Ethan Roscente is nothing but bad luck. Ever since you met him, trouble follows you everywhere."

Vivian Laurent chuckled. "That's quite the stretch."

"Let's regroup first." Vivian massaged her temples. "We need a solid plan to deal with Zero."

Isabella suddenly sat upright. "Don't push yourself too hard. You're carrying a baby, remember? How's the Queen's child doing?"

"Fiona Grandelle says the development is progressing well." Vivian's expression softened slightly.

"What about Fiona? Her second personality..." Isabella trailed off hesitantly.

Vivian sighed. "It's stable for now, but remains a concern."

Isabella collapsed onto the couch dramatically. "I'm exhausted. When can we retire already?"

"Planning retirement in your twenties?" Vivian laughed.

Isabella's eyes sparkled. "Once I save enough, I'll buy an island and hire a bunch of young hunks to wait on me!"

"You could do that now." Vivian teased. "Unless you're waiting for Felix Valdemar?"

"Bullshit!" Isabella bristled. "That bastard makes me want to punch him every time I see him!"

Vivian raised an eyebrow. "He's actually quite interesting."

"Interesting?" Isabella scoffed. "If I married him, I'd spend every day either hitting him or on my way to hit him!"

She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at the couch. "I'd never end up with that jerk in a million years!"
