: Acting Like Maniac
The onlookers at the restaurant couldn’t help but join the conversation, offering their opinions and
advice to Miss Isabela.
“Dear, finding a boyfriend who truly cares about you is not easy these days. This handsome young man
is very sincere, and he’s even willing to give up his pride to win you back. If my boyfriend were half as
good as him, I’d be waking up with a smile every day.”
“Yeah, couples argue all the time. No matter what happened, if he has genuinely realized his mistake,
it’s a good thing.”
Isabela, while maintaining her stern attitude, couldn’t help but be slightly moved by the atmosphere and
Owen’s heartfelt apologies. However, she pretended to remain unmoved.
“Humph! Now you realize you were wrong? Where were you all this time? Let me tell you, I will never
forgive you, you scoundrel!”
As Owen continued to plead, Isabela remained firm. She was hesitant to trust his sincerity fully.
“Isabela, forgive me, please?”
“I swear, I will love you wholeheartedly from now on. If I ever betray you, may the heavens strike me
with thunder!”
Owen knelt on the ground, raising his arm, extending three fingers, and making a solemn oath. His
resolute and earnest demeanor struck a chord within Isabela.
However, she maintained her act of anger, saying, “Owen, you’re too late now. I gave you a chance,
but you didn’t cherish it. Now, Dustin is my boyfriend.”
With that declaration, she held Dustin’s arm to emphasize her point.
Owen’s expression turned even more serious, and he said, “Dustin? Isabela, how can this guy
compare to me? Look at him, he has no status, no abilities. He’s just a swindler, a small-time gigolo at
best. Why should you compare me to him?”
“Shut up!” Isabela snapped. “I won’t allow you to insult Dustin!”
“Isabela, I’m thinking about your future. You should know that we are the perfect match, and we truly
love each other. Besides, we’re already engaged, so we’re practically a married couple. What is Dustin
compared to me? Why should you compare me to him?” Owen argued.
“Ugh! Who says we’re married? You’re shameless!” Isabela retorted.
“Isabela, it may not be now, but it will be in the future. I genuinely love you. Please, will you marry me?”
Owen said and, from his pocket, produced a jewelry box, slowly opening it.
Inside was a large, stunning pink diamond ring that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight, capturing the
attention of many women nearby. A pink diamond of this size and beauty was worth millions and not
easily obtainable.
“Humph! Do you think you can buy me with a diamond ring? Dream on!” Isabela sneaked a glance at
the ring and immediately turned her head away, maintaining her façade of indifference.
“Isabela, what will it take for you to forgive me? Is this guy sabotaging us by saying bad things about
me?” Owen inquired, suspecting that Dustin had played a part in their discord.
Owen’s resentful gaze suddenly turned towards Dustin as he angrily shouted, “You, with the last name
Rhys! How dare you steal my woman? You’re going too far! I challenge you to a duel!”
“It’s none of my business. You have your own guilt to bear,” Dustin replied calmly.
“Quit the nonsense! If you’re a man, fight me. Whoever wins gets to be with Isabela. Do you dare?”
Owen raised his head, intentionally provoking a confrontation.
“Not interested,” Dustin shook his head.
“Humph! Looks like you’re scared, huh? Coward!” Owen sneered. “For Isabela, I’m willing to risk my
life. What about you? You won’t even fight. Why do you think you deserve Isabela? If you know what’s
good for you, you better leave now. Otherwise, don’t blame me if my fist accidentally lands on your
face!”
“Owen, you’ve gone too far!” Isabela exclaimed.
This guy was acting like a maniac!
“Willing to risk your life, huh?” Dustin raised an eyebrow slightly and then nodded. “Fine, since you
enjoy fighting so much, I’ll play along.”
“Good! Let’s see who’s the coward here!” Owen grinned with a sense of accomplishment after his
scheme succeeded.
