Isabella never expected that in a situation like this, Nicholas would actually step forward and brazenly speak up for Serena.
Karen was his cousin. A member of the Blackwood family!
For Serena's sake, was he willing to disregard the Blackwood family's reputation?
Did he really like Serena that much?
Isabella's heart clenched with frustration. She was so jealous and humiliated she felt like she was going to have a heart attack.
She looked at Karen, standing there ramrod straight, not daring to move, and knew...
now that Nicholas had stepped in, there was no possibility of breaking the bet.
Neither she nor Karen... could escape.
But...
To really make her fulfill this bet in front of so many people?
She'd never be able to hold her head high in this social circle again!
Isabella couldn't even dare to imagine such a scene.
Her eyes brimming with tears, she immediately looked toward the Lancaster family, her voice pitifully pleading, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Julian..."
"Can you... can you please plead with Nicholas for me? This bet... I didn't agree to this bet. Can you please ask Nicholas to... to just let it go, please?"
As long as the Lancaster family was willing to speak up and plead for her, Nicholas would surely accommodate the Lancaster family.
This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place.
It was all Karen talking to herself; she hadn't said a single word from beginning to end!
Why should she be the one to fulfill this bet now?
