Chapter 159
Thalassa towers over Isabella, who always tries to even the score by strutting around in high heels. But
right now, she was just rolled out of bed, barefoot and all, looking a bit shorter next to Thalassa in her
flats.
Also, Thalassa was used to doing the grunt work, so she had got some serious muscle.
With ease, she grabbed Isabella.
Isabella didn’t see it coming. She’s knocked off her feet and gets a solid slap across the face. Her
head’s spinning, her face throbbing with pain
She turned her head around, glaring at Thalassa, “You dare to hit me?”
Isabella tried to pull herself up, but Thalassa pinned down her thrashing arms and slapped her other
cheek.
Panting. Thalassa snapped, “Those slaps are to make sure you get my point!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella still playing dumb!
After everything she had done to hurt her and she played innocent. Well, if she didn’t listen, maybe a
slap in the face would do the trick!
Five years ago, Isabella tricked Thalassa into fetching firewood from the shed and locked her in. Then
she took off to get busy with her boyfriend, leaving Thalassa to be taken advantage of by a stranger
named Lysander.
She deserved a slap! Those two slaps were five years overdue!
But slapping Isabella didn’t extinguish Thalassa’s rage.
Isabella’s head was knocked to one side, and the burning pain in one cheek hadn’t even subsided
when the other cheek got a slap. The doubled pain was unbearable.
Isabella was scared out of her wits, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The pain is so intense she
couldn’t move. She closed her eyes, trying to numb the pain.
Seeing her silent, Thalassa angrily shoved Isabella aside, “Next time I catch you scheming against me,
a slap won’t be the only thing you’ll get!”
With that, Thalassa turned and left.
Isabella lied on the bed, both cheeks swollen and throbbing. She gingerly touched them, winces at the
pain, and quickly put her hand
away.
She was so angry that it felt like her chest was a going to explode. Tears welled up in her eyes, her
gaze full of malice. She screamed in a suppressed voice.
“Thalassa! You bitch, just you wait!”
Back home, Thalassa told Evelyn, “Tomorrow we’re off to Starhaven. The day after tomorrow, I start
work.”
Before Evelyn could chat with Thalassa, she had already headed into her room, shutting the door
behind her.
Thalassa leaned against the door, her tension collapsing into a wave of bitterness and sorrow. Tears

She was crying for the past five years of grievances.
Even if she did teach Isabella a lesson, it wouldn’t bring back those lost five years, or give her children
a single day of fatherly love.. From the bottom of her heart, she felt sorry for her four children.
In the past, she thought it was her fault for losing the emerald pendant and leaving the kids without a
father.
At first, she was full of confidence, believing that if she found the pendant, she could find their father
and reunite them.
No matter how tough life got, she faced it with optimism, believing she would one day find their father.
She wanted her children to experience a father’s love.
But now, even though she had found their father, he was not interested in them.
Her belief that finding their father would bring them love had shattered.
It felt like her world was collapsing, leaving her powerless and in pain, filled with a sense of injustice.
“Mommy…” Atticus woke up on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and called for Thalassa with his
childlike voice.
