She's super cautious. On paper, she's just a rich girl who recently returned to the country with zero connections to Marcel. Who'd suspect her?
But Marcel begged to differ. "If she was able to snag Isaac, she's got to have some tricks up her sleeve, right?"
How could an innocent girl like her win over Grace?
Zella frowned slightly.
"The Salter family is hosting a bash next month. I don't give a damn how you do it, but you've gotta bring Brittany."
Marcel continued, "She's our only shot. If the Salters catch wind of Isaac's secret marriage, his wedding is worthless. The relatives won't just let this slide."
"Alright."
Zella always played ball with him. Seeing her agree so readily, Marcel's eyes softened a bit.
"If you do well, I'll consider getting engaged to you."
He was not opposed to settling down and starting a family with Zella.
As long as she keeps playing by his rules, why not give her a title?
Zella's eyes lit up. She's known Marcel since she was seven, and now it's been a full seventeen years.
In these seventeen years, her only dream was to marry Marcel.
Now, that dream was about to come true. How could she possibly back out?
...
The Salter family's old mansion
When Isaac helped Grace out of the car, he immediately spotted the black car nearby.
Manuel had been waiting for quite a while. Seeing them return, he got out of the car.
"Mother."
Manuel and Isaac look strikingly similar. Manuel's a bit older, and despite living the high life all these years, the signs of age are still etched onto his face.
Grace snorted, "I told you not to come. Who let you in?"
