Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 780

She was the treasured granddaughter Holden and Kiera adored. Even though her uncles weren't as gentle as the grandparents, they still sent her money and gifts for holidays and birthdays.

But now... all her glory, all that affection, was gone. Everything that was hers had been stolen by Serena!

Now, she had to carefully read Serena's mood just to survive. She didn't dare speak too loudly, make a sound when eating, or even walk with heavy footsteps. She was terrified of making a single mistake that Serena could use to have the family throw her out.

"Isabella Lancaster?" Silas's voice suddenly cut through the room.

Isabella's heart skipped a beat. She instantly plastered a sweet, obedient smile on her face and stepped forward with the fruit. "Yes, Silas? Would you like some fruit? I just—"

"Open the curtains a bit more," Silas ordered flatly. "It's too dark; it'll hurt Serena's eyes."

Isabella's smile froze.

"Yes..."

She lowered her head, hiding the stormy emotions in her eyes, set down the platter, and went to pull the curtains.

Three days later.

The Vinton family officially announced that they were hosting a grand debutante gala, The Vinton Debutante Gala, to formally introduce their true, long-lost heiress to high society.

The news sent shockwaves through the elite circles.

After all, rumors of Holden Vinton's imminent death had been spreading like wildfire just days ago. Then came the nation-shaking financial war. Everyone thought the Vinton empire was completely finished.

Isabella was drowning in bitterness and resentment. She had never been treated with such reverence.

Worse still... during her previous visits, Anna had taken her to countless parties and galas. She had made plenty of friends in elite circles. Many of them knew she was in the country and were bombarding her phone, asking for insider information about Serena.

How was she supposed to answer? What could she possibly say?

She only knew one thing...

Once this gala happened, everyone would know that Serena was the true heiress.

And she, Isabella, had been a fake all along!
