The contestants erupted in awe.
"This is an insane flex!"
"I'm bitter, but I respect it!"
"He really is the perfect match for the Code Goddess. Unbelievable!"
"They are made for each other. That completely deadpan, matter-of-fact way they show off their terrifying power is exactly the same."
"Nothing left to say but wishing the Code Goddess and Mr. Blackwood a long, happy life together!"
"Wishing the Code Goddess and Mr. Blackwood a long, happy life together!"
"Wishing the Code Goddess and Mr. Blackwood a long, happy life together!"
A chorus of enthusiastic cheers and blind praise echoed across the pier.
It was a complete 180-degree shift from just moments ago when everyone thought the Blackwood Crown Prince was there to collect Isabella.
But amid the congratulations, the crowd's thirst for gossip simply could not be contained.
"Wait a second."
A girl lowered her voice, her eyes alight with curiosity. "Didn't the Blackwood family and the Lancaster family arrange a childhood marriage?"
"Isabella, the so-called official fiancée, is standing right there."
"So why did Mr. Blackwood completely ignore his childhood fiancée and flaunt his relationship with the Code Goddess right in front of her face?"
Another girl caught on instantly. "Yeah, and with Isabella's personality, if someone stole her man, she would have started playing the victim and sobbing an hour ago. Why is she keeping her mouth shut?"
The moment the observation was voiced.
The crowd's hunger for drama ignited into a roaring blaze.
Every single pair of eyes snapped to Isabella.
Their gazes bounced frantically between Isabella, Serena, and Nicholas.
Isabella's chest tightened violently, a cold sweat breaking out across her back.
Why did these people have to connect the dots now!
If they realized she wasn't actually a daughter of the Lancaster family...
Isabella squeezed her fingers together in a panic.
No!
