Upon seeing Isabella, Marianne immediately pulled Hailey along, her voice deliberately loud and fawning. "Oh, you must be Miss Lancaster! You're absolutely stunning. The moment you arrived, you became the center of everyone's attention!"
"Isabella!" Hailey chimed in, moving closer as if to link arms with her.
However, the moment she approached, Isabella's perfectly shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly. She immediately stepped aside on her high heels, avoiding Hailey's touch.
Hailey froze for a second.
Marianne quickly tried to smooth things over with a laugh. "Silly girl, look how beautifully Isabella is dressed. It would be a crime if you smudged anything!"
Then, she turned back to Isabella, her tone sycophantic. "Miss Lancaster, thank you so much for inviting—"
Before she could finish, Isabella cut in, her voice polite yet distant. "Excuse me, you're blocking our way."
Seeing the Wynn family, she had nearly dug her fingernails into her palms.
Such a low-class, unpresentable family...
How utterly embarrassing!
Why were they still lingering at the manor's entrance?
And greeting her right in front of the Lancaster family?
Not only did she not want any of the other top-tier elites coming and going to know that she, Isabella, actually knew such a group of crass social climbers, but there was also another reason.
She was worried...
That her family would become suspicious.
After quickly cutting them off, Isabella immediately turned to the rest of the Lancasters and explained, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Julian, this is a jewelry designer I've been in talks with recently."
