Isabella turned around and locked eyes with the speaker.

The person had short hair, a round face, and a tall figure. She was dressed in

a sleek black short dress. She looked clean and neat from head to toe.

If it weren’t for her sharp tongue, Isabella would have given this lady a

thumbs up.

“Miss, do I know you?”

“You don’t know me, but I do.” The lady lifted her chin, adopting a proud

posture. “Gordon brought you here, didn’t he?”

From her words, Isabella roughly understood that she was being treated as a

love rival.

“I’m Rachel Logan. My dad is Hugh Logan.” The lady introduced herself.

Isabella was speechless, feeling like this woman was wasting her good looks.

Besides her sense of fashion, she was just a pretty face.

She starts by dropping her father’s name. Is she that eager to show off?

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Isabella tilted her head, intentionally

asking, “Logan? Is it Mr. Logan from the aviation industry?”

Rachel’s expression froze, and she pressed her lips tightly. After some

thought, she was about to force herself to speak.

However, Isabella added while supporting her chin with one hand, “No, that’s

not right. Mr. Logan doesn’t have a daughter. Did I remember it wrong?”

Rachel’s expression darkened as she glared at Isabella.

Their family was in the food business. Despite doing well in recent years,

thanks to their connection with the Dunkstein Family, they had nothing to do

with the Logan Family in aviation.

In just a few words, Isabella sharply pierced through Rachel’s upper-class

facade.

“You don’t need to bother about who I am. In any case, I’m more

distinguished than you!” Rachel snorted, glancing toward the direction of the

hall. Smugly, she said, “Ms. Ariel doesn’t even like you. Don’t you realize that

yourself?”

Even without her mentioning it, Isabella had discerned Ariel’s character at a

glance; she and Xavier were clearly not the same kind of people.

“Miss Logan, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m just Gordon’s friend. There’s no

need to treat me as your imaginary enemy,” she explained reluctantly, as she

didn’t want to complicate matters further.

Disdainfully, Rachel glanced at Isabella as though the latter were lying. “Stop

pretending. Since you can make Gordon take you home, you must have put

in some effort, right?”

After taking a deep breath, Isabella clenched her teeth. “Miss Logan, if you

keep causing trouble, I won’t be polite.”

Rolling her eyes, Rachel retorted, “What can you do? At most, you’ll complain

to Gordon about me. Do you think I’m afraid of that?”

“You’re not afraid,” Isabella continued before saying expressionlessly, “But you

care.”

Instantly, Rachel bit her lip as those words hit a nerve.

Isabella leaned against the railing and lifted her chin toward the hall. “Hurry

up and leave, or I’ll fall next to you and say you pushed me. By then, you won’t

be able to clear your name.”

Rachel widened her eyes, her once lively and proud gaze now filled with

anger. She stomped her foot forcefully. “Just wait and see!”

This left Isabella at a loss for words.

She’s such a good-looking and well-dressed lady, but something’s wrong

with her brain.

In the end, Isabella couldn’t be bothered to argue further with Rachel. At this

moment, she saw Molly leaning against Andy Brown. The two were intimate

and whispering to each other.

The plan was crucial. Isabella couldn’t let the unexpected appearance of a 15:57 Thu, 4 Jan G

random lady ruin everything.

She straightened up, brushed past the infuriated Rachel, and returned to the

hall.

After choosing a corner to sit in, she observed the surroundings. She had to

keep an eye on Andy while remaining vigilant about Seth.

All this while, Seth stayed in the center of the crowd, continuously toasting. He

held a glass of wine, taking only symbolic sips each time, and hadn’t

changed the glass for a long time.

At some point, it seemed like he had something to attend to. He withdrew

from the crowd and left with Xavier.

Watching the figure disappear, Isabella finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, as long as Seth was around, she felt pressured. Such long-standing

psychological habits weren’t easy to change.

With this thought, she sighed. As she raised her eyes, she saw that Molly had

already left with Andy.

Isabella quickly stood up, holding her purse, ready to follow.

From her position to the entrance, she had to pass by a champagne tower,

which was about six feet high, with a waiter nearby.

Isabella just cautiously avoided it, unaware that someone was approaching

from behind.

Suddenly, the person behind her extended their foot and kicked directly

toward her calf. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Isabella didn’t even have time to scream; her whole person lurched toward

the champagne tower.
