Chapter 126. No Backing Down

Isabel’s POV

I’m home. Finally. But peace? Nowhere in sight.

“See why I never supported you returning?” My mother’s voice cuts through the air, thick with frustration. She paces the room, eyes sharp with anger. “That evil girl Cynthia will never let you rest! Look at this—she’s already revealed your true identity to the public. What next? She’ll paint you as a cheat? How shameless can she be? And now, she dares to spread lies, saying you’re not even a Montgomery!”

She throws her phone onto the coffee table, her chest rising and falling as she exhales sharply. I just sit there, staring at the screen, the comments from Cynthia’s post flashing in my mind.

Isabel Montgomery? Isn’t that Claire?

No way! Claire and Isabel might look alike, but their class is different!
