Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 220

Chapter 220 

Isabella struggled to get up, but Leo was not done yet. 

He approached her, intent on continuing his assault. 

In a flash of fear, Isabella blurted out, ‘No matter how much money we’ve lost, my parents can cover it!” 

Leo’s hand paused mid–air, his expression shifting to skepticism. 

“Really?” he asked. 

Desperate, Isabella nodded vigorously. 

Leo’s demeanor softened slightly as he stated, “I’ll believe you one last time. I’ve lost over twenty million dollars on this project. Bring back forty million dollars, and we can continue our life together. Otherwise…” 

“Forty million?” Isabella was shocked and fearful, “Isn’t that too much?” 

“Too much?” Leo sneered menacingly. “Either bring the money or face the consequences. Your choice.” 

Leo looked like a devil. 

Frightened, Isabella agreed to find a way. 

“When are we going to Riowert then?” Leo asked. 

“Us?” Isabella was bewildered. 

“What, you thought you’d go ask for the money alone? What if you run away? What about my losses then?” Leo looked at Isabella with a threatening gaze. 

Feeling cornered, Isabella had no choice but to agree, “Don’t worry. Once we sort things out here, we’ll go ask my parents for the money.” 

At this, Leo’s face lit up with a radiant smile. 

He reached out, helping her up. “Isabella, don’t be afraid. I was just angry earlier. You’re the one I truly love. Why else would I forsake even my own mother to be with you? What I said earlier was all in the heat of the moment.” 

“Really?” Isabella was partly surprised and flattered. 

Leo nodded affirmatively. “Of course. I’m pushing you to ask your parents for money for our future. Think about it, you’re an only child at home, but you have many cousins. Remember how you used to complain about them. hanging around your parents, trying to benefit from them? Now that you’re not around much, they’re probably even more ingratiating. What if your parents are deceived by them and leave the family fortune to them instead?”

“They wouldn’t dare!” Isabella exclaimed in shock and anger. 

“They can do whatever they want with their money,” Leo said soothingly. “So, our top priority now is to gradually secure your parents‘ wealth for ourselves. Otherwise, who knows who might end up benefiting from it in the future?” 

Isabella nodded thoughtfully. 

She knew Leo had his own ulterior motives, but his words made perfect sense. 

She was the only child, and the family wealth was rightfully hers. Taking it in advance seemed justifiable. 

Moreover, in her mind, she harbored numerous opportunities to make money. I 

With the funds, she was sure she could make a comeback. 

Sensing Isabella’s agreement, Leo couldn’t help but smile satisfactorily. 

Although his wife was foolish, she had wealthy parents. 

Securing the Smith family’s assets would offset his previous losses. 

With a backup plan in place, Leo and Isabella stopped resisting the online backlash. 

The legal case was clear–cut. The court quickly made a judgment. 

The charges of plagiarism and malicious defamation were indisputable. 

The plagiarism charge in Coraland was lighter, merely requiring a fine. 

However, the defamation could have led to imprisonment, but Isabella’s parents intervened, paying a substantial sum to have others take the fall. 

Infinite Technologies‘ reputation was irreparably tarnished, making it impossible to continue operations. 

Leo promptly dissolved the company. 

Then, he and Isabella quietly left Coraland to start anew in Riowert. 

At the Landor residence. 

The TV was on, but Old Mr. Landor watched without really focusing. 

Penelope, sitting beside him, also seemed lost in thought. 

Ben sighed and took the initiative to speak, “Leo bought someone to take the fall for him, and he and Isabella have gone to Riowert.”

Ben knew about Leo’s scheme to have someone else take the blame. 

However, he never exposed his actions. 

After all, Leo carried the bloodline of their family. 

Despite Old Mr. Landor and Penelope often speaking bitterly of Leo, if he had actually gone to prison, they wouldn’t have been able to let go. 

Especially grandpa – with his advanced age and frail health, Ben didn’t want to see him distressed over Leo’s situation. 

“Escaped to Riowert?” Old Mr. Landor exclaimed angrily, “That rascal! He only knows how to run away after causing 

trouble.” 

“He should be locked up for ten or eight years,” Penelope added vehemently. 

The two elders continued to grumble about Leo, but their spirits visibly improved. 

Ben shook his head slightly. 

Indeed, no matter how unfilial the younger generation might be, elders in their hearts could never bear to see them fare poorly. 

Now that they knew Leo had fled to Riowert, where he had the support of the Smith family, his life would likely be comfortable. This knowledge seemed to provide some relief to the concerned elders. 

However, Leo and Isabella had completely lost touch with reality. 

Ben narrowed his eyes. 

For his grandpa’s sake, he was willing to let Leo and Isabella off the hook. 

But it would be best for them to stay quietly in Riowert and never set foot in Coraland again. 

Otherwise, they shouldn’t blame him for showing no mercy. 

Leo and Isabella left in disgrace, but their actions inadvertently brought massive popularity to Susan’s game. 

Regardless of whether people played games or not, everyone now knew about a game called “Starry Romance” that used the latest Al technology, offering an experience akin to a second world. 

In an instant, countless people flooded in. 

Typically, even the best–made games see a dip in ratings due to diverse player tastes and a high volume of players.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

decline. 

A week later. 

The game’s revenue figures were released. 

As the project leader, Susan was the first to see them. 

She was utterly astonished by the numbers. 

Could this game really be so profitable? 

In just one week, the revenue reached a staggering two hundred million dollars! 

To put that in perspective, the previous record for monthly revenue was only four hundred million dollars. 

If the trend continued, this seemingly trivial love game would set a new national record for gaming revenue. 

“Director Miller, are we getting a bonus this month?” the department members asked cheerfully, grinning from ear 

to ear.
