Chapter 413
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 p>
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 p>
“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 p>
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.
She had to get the gift into Brianna’s hands before the party began.
She asked Patton for the location of Brianna’s dressing room, then headed that way, carrying her canvas tote.
As she neared the dressing room door, she heard the sounds of a heated argument from within.
She could faintly make out Brianna’s angry voice.
Serena’s eyes narrowed, and she quickened her pace.
Inside the dressing room.
Brandon Keller’s face was ashen as he gripped Brianna’s wrist tightly.
Brianna’s face was flushed with anger, her eyes wide as she glared at the man before her.
Meanwhile, Lauren Mitchell, dressed
in an expensive designer gown and
with perfectly styled hair and
makeup leaned against the closed
door, arms crossed a tracer
schadenfreude on her face.
“Brandon, let go of me!” Brianna tried to yank her hand away in disgust, her voice
filled with rage. “Who let you in? Get out p>
Brandon was emotional, a vein
throbbing in his forehead. He gritted his teeth and demanded, “Why? è Brianna, why didn’t the Keller family receive an invitation? On such an important day, why did you deliver an invitation to us personally p>
He thought back to just a while ago. After a great deal of effort, the Keller family had
finally found out that Brianna’s coming-of-age party was being held at this Blackwood estate.
They had arrived at the estate full of arrogance.
But because they didn’t have an invitation, they were mercilessly stopped by security at the gate.
No matter how he pointed to his
own face, insisting his relationship with Brianna was so close that an invitation was unnecessary, the _security guards remained impassive, stating, “No invitation, no entry p>
He had been utterly humiliated.
He had only managed to get in by finding a servant he knew from his frequent visits
to the Blackwood estate, lying and saying he was planning to sneak in to give Brianna a birthday surprise.
In the past, Brianna had indeed been completely devoted to Brandon.
The servant, who regarded Brandon as a future son-in-law, actually believed his ridiculous story and took a risk to let him in.
