Chapter 25 Kicking Isabella Out
Isabella’s face turned pale, her anger barely contained. But she didn’t show it and put on a pitiful expression instead.
“Florence, how can you say that about me? You’ve never even come to the company. How can you claim Albert isn’t the boss? Are you really so disrespectful of him?”
Albert’s frustration grew as he heard Isabella’s words, his irritation now clearly directed at Florence.
“Florence, this company is mine. Even if you take me to court, the judge will only confirm that I own it. You’re just a shareholder,” he said, his tone firm.
Florence’s eyes narrowed, cold and calculating. Her gaze made Albert feel a twinge of discomfort, and without thinking, he
shifted his eyes away.
Florence’s voice was icy. “Let’s see what the court has to say,
then.”
Albert raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. “You really want to take it that far?”
Florence’s response was cool and unyielding. “I don’t joke about these things.”
She paused for a moment before her gaze turned to Isabella. A surge of unease swept through Isabella, though she tried to hide

- it.
“I don’t want her here. Tell her to leave,” Florence said flatly, her voice carrying an edge.
Albert’s face darkened. “Don’t push it, Florence.”
Seeing Albert defend Isabella wasn’t surprising to Florence. She immediately called for security. “Throw Isabella out.”
The two security guards hesitated. Everyone knew how much Albert favored Isabella, but Florence was his legal wife.
Isabella’s eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling as she spoke. “Florence, why are you doing this to me?”
Albert instinctively moved to shield Isabella. “Florence, if you have a problem, deal with me. Why take it out on her?”
Florence gave a bitter smile. “She’s always in my way, isn’t she? Or you could just sign the divorce papers. Then, even if you two slept together right in front of me, I wouldn’t bat an eye.”
Albert was momentarily speechless. He couldn’t possibly admit to anything with Isabella, not when it could give Florence the upper hand.
Isabella, sensing the tension, stepped out from behind Albert, adopting a regretful look. “Florence, please don’t misunder nd me. If I’m really such an inconvenience, I’ll leave. Please, don’t be upset.”

She gave Albert a comforting glance before leaving the office.
Albert’s heart stirred with gratitude for Isabella’s considerate gesture, but to Florence, it only felt like an insult.
“Are you happy now?” Albert snapped, his face twisted with anger, as if she were the one in the wrong.
Florence ignored him, turning on her heel and leaving his office without a second thought..
The fact that Albert couldn’t do anything to stop her only fueled his anger further.
The rest of the day passed quickly. Florence met with a few department managers and got a clearer picture of how Albert had been running the company.
In the past, she’d admired him, believing in his abilities. But now, after letting go of her past feelings, she saw him not as capable as she’d once thought.
She now understood why Albert’s father had been reluctant to hand over the company to his son. His father knew exactly what kind of person he was.
Florence, on the other hand, had been naive. She’d convinced her father to let Albert run a branch company, thinking it would help him gain experience. But in the end, it was the Brook: family that paid the price.
In her past life, Albert had nearly run the branch company into

This time, she was going to take control of the company and get Albert out for good.
Just as she was about to leave, Albert appeared in her office. doorway.
“Grandma called. She wants us to come back to the manor for
dinner.”
Florence hesitated for a moment, her expression clouded.
