Chapter 486

Seth firmly held Isabella’s face, but only brushed away the two strands of hair on her

face before letting go.

Isabella remained tense, not fully understanding what had just happened. “M-Mr.

Shaffer?

Seth said, “I have OCD. Does that bother you?”

Isabella was speechless. Alright, whatever you say. She blinked and opened her mouth,

but found herself at a loss for words.

They stared at each other, locked in a standoff. Seth snorted, shifted his hands from

one pocket to both pockets, and casually walked away.

Isabella stood behind him, blinking rapidly, still bewildered. After a while, the sound of

fireworks could be heard from outside, and she finally snapped out of her daze, picked

up her purse, and headed out.

Fireworks were not allowed in Imperia, but somehow, Courtney managed to obtain a

permit for a public display.

The restaurant occupied a large area of the lawn, and the entire sky was filled with

vibrant colors. Isabella descended, arriving just as the fireworks were about to end and

the next segment was about to begin.

The Cline Family, originally from Flinton, had a ritual called bless-spreading whenever

they opened new shops. This involved scattering sugar above the house, which friends

and family would catch below.

Courtney modified the tradition. She not only scattered sugar but also small pieces of

jewelry like rings and necklaces, as well as various trinkets.

By the time Isabella arrived, the area below the main restaurant was already crowded

with people, mostly girls.

Mandy appeared out of nowhere and pulled Isabella into the crowd. Still caught up in

the shock of the man named Seth, Isabella was pulled along without any enthusiasm or

interest.

Someone came over to distribute tools, including all sorts of peculiar items like pots,

bowls, spoons, and even umbrellas.

Isabella found it amusing to hold a small pot while standing in the crowd. A signal was

given, and the items began to rain down from above.

Worried about getting hit, Isabella raised her small pot high.

“Isabella, you should try to catch something!” Mandy shouted from behind.

Isabella was speechless. Her pot was so small that it couldn’t even cover her head.

How could she possibly catch anything?

The place was noisy and crowded, with various perfume scents blending together.

Isabella felt dizzy and just wanted to make sure she didn’t get hurt.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of things falling from above. Objects kept hitting her

small pot, large chunks of them, as if someone had specifically targeted her pot.

Within moments, the pot became so heavy that she couldn’t hold it up any longer.

Isabella ran out with her eyes closed, but the objects continued to hit the pot with great

force. It took her a lot of effort to turn around and escape. She took off the pot and

looked inside, unable to help but open her mouth wide in astonishment.

There was hardly any sugar in the pot. Instead, it was filled with various small items lik

rings, bracelets, necklaces, and occasionally a piece or two of chocolate. All the jewelry

was neatly wrapped in small bags, incredibly delicate.

No wonder it was so heavy. It was a small pot filled with jewelry. She alone had

received so much. Considering the size of the crowd, wouldn’t Courtney go bankrupt?

On the second floor, by the window, Courtney raised her hand and forcefully nudged the

person next to her. “Pay up.”

Seth leaned against the wall, his eyes closed. “Is this blackmail?”

“Don’t play innocent,” she retorted, rolling her eyes. She glanced at Isabella, who was

laughing foolishly downstairs. “Most of tonight’s prizes are in that pot of jewelry. If they

didn’t get any, wouldn’t they accuse me of being stingy?”

Seth opened his eyes, his gaze falling downstairs. “What does her good luck have to

with me?”

Courtney said, “Have you no shame? You’re using my money to impress the girl.”
