A cool breeze swept past.
It dried the tears on Isabella’s face and cleared her head.
If she left the Lancaster family of her own accord, the beneficiary would, of course, be Serena!
From then on, Serena would truly be the one and only daughter of the Lancaster family.
Her parents would then, without any guilt, shower all their affection on Serena!
Wouldn’t Serena be absolutely delighted?
Agnes spoke from the other end of the line, “Miss Isabella, do you see it now? Do you understand why that devious, cunning country girl chose this moment to attack you?”
Isabella’s gaze darkened bit by bit. “Because she did it on purpose! She wants to provoke a fight between my parents and me, to take this chance to drive me out of this house!”
“I’m glad you understand.” Agnes’s voice was full of sympathy. “Miss Isabella, the humiliation you’re enduring now is for the sake of a better future. You must control your emotions. Don’t forget… tonight is your night to shine! That country girl is destined to lose all face tonight, never to show her face in Vaelion City’s high society again!”
Agnes’s words fanned the flames of Isabella’s anger, which burned ever hotter.
Her eyes took on a crimson hue.
That’s right!
Tonight was her night.
She would show her grandfather, her parents, that she was a hundred, a thousand times better than Serena!
Serena was just a country bumpkin who would only bring shame to the family!

Serena gave the food container to Patton. She checked the time; the party would be starting soon.
She remembered the gift she had prepared for Brianna. Back at the main house, she hadn't had a chance to give it to her before Nicholas interrupted.
