"Grandma, during this time, I could tell that you have not forgiven me. When I was injured and hospitalized, you only symbolically visited me every day. To you, my only use is to help the Smith Corporation, which is what you care about the most. I have been working hard to make the Smith Corporation as good as it was before, but, Grandma, you saw what happened tonight..."
Mrs. Smith was taken aback by Isabel's words, and her entire body gradually became unsteady in her seat.
Isabel observed Mrs. Smith's expression while continuing, "If I had not reacted quickly, Grandma, I think everyone in Bellshire would know about the young miss of the Smith family having an illegitimate pregnancy. People would point fingers at me, and I wouldn't be able to stay in Bellshire City. And, Grandma, you would blame me for dragging down the Smith Corporation and drive me away again!"
