Chapter 47 This Is What You Owe Isabella

Ryan's guys dragged Nathan and Juniper in, tossing them at George's feet.

Juniper glared at George, her eyes blazing with rage, but she still shrank back.

"Was this your idea?" George asked, his voice calm but menacing.

Juniper nodded, then shook her head, then nodded again, trembling. "George, this is a misunderstanding. Really."

"A misunderstanding?" George sneered, his smile like a knife. "Let's clear it up then."

Caleb handed George a phone. George made a call. "I heard your movie's about to start filming."

"Yes, any instructions?" the person on the other end asked respectfully.

"Don't cast Juniper as the lead. Tell your director friends that hiring her means crossing me," George said.

The person on the other end quickly agreed, "Got it. I'll handle it."

Juniper was shocked. 'When I put George in a coma, he did nothing. Now, for Isabella, he's blacklisting me,' she thought.

"Why are you doing this? Do you know how hard I've worked? George, how can you treat me like this?" Juniper cried.

Nathan, held down by several men, looked defiant.

"Untie him," George ordered, rolling up his sleeves.

'This guy killed my first child and now wants to take my woman. This needs to be settled,' George thought.

Nathan stared at George without fear. "I just want to take Isabella away from the Spencer family."

George punched Nathan hard, sending him flying. The women nearby, including Juniper, backed away in fear.

'I've been with George for so long, but I've never seen him this angry,' Juniper thought.

"Do you love Isabella?" George asked.

"Yes," Nathan replied.

"Does she love you?" George pressed.

Nathan wasn't sure, but he didn't want to deny it either. "She's just scared of your powerful family. That's why she won't leave with me."

"So you drugged her?" George grabbed Nathan by the collar. "Isabella is pregnant. You killed our child. How should I settle this with you?"

Nathan was stunned. 'I didn't know that.'

But it was too late for regrets.

"So you're not worthy of having Isabella's child," Nathan laughed.

George stood up, walked to the coffee table, took a sip of water, and said to Ryan, "Hold him down."

A sharp knife appeared in George's hand.

Ryan and his men pinned Nathan down. George stepped on Nathan's left hand and brought the knife down swiftly. Nathan's scream echoed through the room.

Blood poured as Nathan's tendons were severed.

George stabbed the knife into the table and glanced at Ryan.

Ryan nodded, "I'll handle it."

Ryan severed the tendons in Nathan's hands and feet, ensuring they'd never heal.

The blade dripped with bright red blood.

It was a gruesome sight.

George lit a cigarette, blew smoke into Nathan's face, and slapped him hard. "This is for Isabella."

Caleb brought a basin of water. George washed his hands, took the towel Caleb handed him, and wiped away the dirt. He then casually put out his cigarette.

"Give him the medicine," George ordered.

George tossed the medicine to Ryan, who forced it down Nathan's throat, making sure he swallowed it all with a glass of water.

George picked up his jacket and turned to the trembling women. "Take off your clothes."

The women, shaking, obeyed.

Ryan's men collected the clothes, leaving Nathan and the five naked women in the room.

What happened that night remained a mystery, but Nathan went mad, and Juniper, who witnessed it all, fell seriously ill and vanished from the entertainment industry.

After recovering in the hospital, Isabella returned to the Spencer Mansion.

Patricia, seeing Isabella's thin face, said sadly, "It's okay, the child is gone, but you and George are still young. You'll have more."

Isabella looked at George, wondering what he was planning.

Patricia, too upset, was helped out by the servants.

Isabella then asked George, "What did you tell Patricia?"

"Nothing much. Daniel said you need to stay in bed for a month. You need to listen," George replied.

Isabella pouted, "Why do I have to stay in bed for a month? I'm fine, the medicine's out of my system."

He touched her abdomen, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Isabella started to say when her phone vibrated.

She glanced at it. It was a call from Lucas.

As she hesitated, George picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

The person on the other end paused, "Is this Mr. Spencer?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Could you let Isabella take the call?" Lucas's voice was humble.

George looked at Isabella, as if asking, 'Do you want to take it?'

Isabella nodded and took the phone from George, "Hello?"

"Isabella, it's Dad."

"I know," Isabella replied coldly.

"I'm sick. Can you come to the hospital to see me? I have something to tell you."

"Can't you say it over the phone?"

Lucas weakly said, "I miss you too."

'Is he really sick or just trying to trick me into coming back? If I don't go, he probably won't give up,' Isabella thought.

And right then, at the hospital...
