My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 63

Andrew Lane fixed her with a piercing stare, his dark, narrow eyes radiating an icy authority that demanded answers.

Suddenly, Isabella Austin broke down with a quiet sob, shaking her head as she reached out and gripped Andrew’s arm, pleading gently.

“Andrew, don’t blame her. I should have foreseen something like this might happen. I’ll handle it myself.”

Then, without warning, Isabella turned to face Emily. Her eyes were red-rimmed, but behind the tears there was a fragile determination—like the heroine of some romance drama, delicate yet resilient.

“Ms. Blair, I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish here. But this time, I won’t just stand by and let you do as you please. I’ll defend my own rights.”

Emily Blair watched Isabella, unsettled by a strange, gnawing feeling that lingered long after Isabella took Andrew by the arm and left.

She clenched her fists, forcing the discomfort down, then turned to the principal.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

The principal’s expression was grim. “Emily Blair, you brought this mess on yourself. Whatever comes of it, you’ll have to face the consequences alone. The school won’t get involved.”

Emily just shrugged, unfazed, and walked out without another word.

She hurried down the hallway, oblivious to Ms. Carter’s conflicted gaze as she left.

With the school’s anniversary celebration over, the weekend came, giving Emily two days off. She holed up in her rented apartment, focusing on her studies and barely setting foot outside.

Her roommate, Emma George, was glued to her favorite binge-worthy soap operas, completely oblivious to the drama that had unfolded at the celebration. Emily didn’t bother telling her—she was grateful for the peace and quiet.

It wasn’t until she was scrolling through her phone during a study break that a news alert on her homepage caught her eye.

SHOCKING! Rumors of “Vivian Martin,” the mysterious pianist’s death, proven false—Vivian Martin is actually the renowned pianist Isabella Austin!
