Danny said, "You guys, go ahead inside. I'll join you later. I'm waiting for

the car owner."

"Do you believe I'll kill you here?" Kennedy threatened.

Isabelle put the car key in her pocket and followed the crowd into the banquet hall.

Dressed in a comfortable hoodie and sneakers, Isabelle's casual outfit starkly contrasted with the elegantly dressed guests.

Her laid-back demeanour made her seem out of place.

The guests glanced at her curiously, wondering whose child she was. Was she here for the birthday celebration, too?

"You must be one of Principal Burton's students."

"This girl is quite pretty, with fair skin and a gentle demeanor. She seems. to have a good character. I'm curious to learn more about her background. I'd like it if she comes from the same social circle." "How could she show up in that outfit? She seriously doesn't understand the social rules."

"Her again? What's she doing here?" Dakota spotted Isabelle and. immediately stood up from the sofa.

Such a small world.

"Who is it?" Bella followed Dakota's gaze and saw Isabelle. She muttered, "A country bumpkin. She came here dressed like that, so unsophisticated. Even with money, she doesn't know how to spend it."

"You know her?" Dakota asked.

Bella replied, "We're at the same school. She's a freshman this year. I lost a year's worth of allowance to her in a bet."

Dakota asked, "What kind of bet? Did she scam you out of your money, too?"

Bella muttered, "I don't want to talk about it."

Completely missing Dakota's emphasis on 'too.

Dakota said, "No wonder she can afford to go to those fancy places. It turns out she's been scamming money from you."

As expected, that girl is a rotten person.

She came by taxi but claimed she was the original owner of Luxe Luster.

How long has Luxe Luster been in business? And how old was she?

Those blind fools at Luxe Luster must be targeting my family.

Dakota grabbed her drink and headed straight towards Isabelle.

Bella called out, "Hey, sis, where are you going?"

There were many people around.

Since Magnus was busy mingling with guests, Isabelle decided to approach him later. She was about to replace a place to sit when trouble found her.

"You again? Who let you in here? Do you know where you are?" Dakota blocked Isabelle's path.

Thinking it was Magnus's birthday party and not wanting to cause a scene, Isabelle chose to ignore her and walk away.

This move infuriated Dakota, and she chided, "Who allowed you to walk away? I'm talking to you. Stop right there."

"Didn't you hear me? Are you deaf?"

Dakota persisted, following Isabelle, who paid her no attention. Frustrated, she quickly stepped in front of Isabelle again. Seeing Isabelle's pretty face, Dakota acted on impulse and splashed her drink in her direction.

Isabelle's response was swift; she reacted at once.

She blocked Dakota's hand, causing the drink to spill all over her.

Dakota let out a shocked scream and attracted many people looking at them.

"Isn't that, Ms. Dakota? I heard she has a bad temper. Who dared to splash her with a drink?"

"What's happening here?"

"That young girl's in trouble now."

Murmurs filled the room.

Dakota was soaked with the drink and had it dripping down her face and chest, ruining her meticulously done makeup. Raised in privilege, Dakota couldn't believe someone would dare humiliate the esteemed Miss Sullivan in public.

She glared at Isabelle, her eyes burning with rage, as if she were ready to devour her.

"Damn you!" Dakota raised her hand to slap Isabelle.

The crowd gasped.

"Stop it!" A commanding voice boomed and halted Dakota in her action.

She looked up to see Kennedy stroll over with a cane in hand. The old man positioned himself like a mountain between Dakota and Isabelle.

Kennedy scolded her harshly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you bullying this young girl? Who's daughter are you? Are you from the Sullivans? Call your parents over here. I want to ask them how they've been raising you."

Kennedy's commanding presence stunned Dakota.

She immediately retorted, "It's... it's her fault. She spilled the drink on me."

Kennedy's eyes widened in fury, and he chided, "Don't lie. I saw it clearly. You were the one bullying her."

Danny followed in and asked, “Boss, are you okay?"

Melissa also approached and asked concernedly, "Isabelle, are you alright?'

Isabelle calmly placed her hands back in the large pocket of her hoodie. If Kennedy had been a couple of seconds slower, something on Dakota would have definitely been broken. Isabelle said, "Your grandfather is in good health."

Danny replied, "No kidding. I got hit twice with his cane at the entrance just now, and my dad got beaten by him yesterday."

Melissa nudged Danny and repriminded, "It's fine to tell your own embarrassing stories, but don't bring Dad into it."
