Chapter 515
Brianna was surrounded by the socialites, all of them staring in awe at the jewelry she wore, praising her to the heavens.
This made her happier than any compliment about herself.
Brianna proudly caressed the necklace at her throat and announced to everyone, “It’s all thanks to Serena! Not only did Serena get Master Queen to design this jewelry set for me, but she also got Master Cloud to design this gown p>
“Ahh! Brianna, you’re so lucky! Miss Ghost Doctor really spoils you p>
“I’m so envious that Miss Blackwood has Miss Ghost Doctor to dote on her p>
“In all of Elyndor, probably only Miss Ghost Doctor has the power to commission two top-tier masters to create custom pieces just for you p>
The flood of compliments made Isabella even more furious.
Her chest heaved, and her fingers dug into her palms.
That country bumpkin was so calculating!
She must have known that Isabella was going to give Brianna jewelry, so she deliberately did the same, just to use Queen to one-up her in front of Brianna!
She just wanted to use her as a stepping stone to show off!
Serena must be gloating right now!
“Well, well, Isabella, why are you standing all alone in the corner p>
A few socialites, who had been openly or subtly suppressed and excluded by Isabella in the past, walked over.
Their faces wore obvious, deliberately mocking smiles, though their words were feigning concern. “Aren’t you Miss Blackwood’s brother’s future wife? You’re so close, aren’t you? Why don’t you go over and keep Miss Blackwood company p>
“Exactly, Isabella. You’re Miss Blackwood’s brother’s future wife. You should hurry over and have Miss Blackwood plead your case with Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster. Otherwise… being punished to live in the suburban villa, doesn’t that basically mean you’ve been kicked out p>
“You are the one and only daughter of the Lancaster family, the apple of their eye The tone of these words was dripping with sarcasm.
Another socialite nearby, enjoying the sight of Isabella’s increasingly pale face spoke up as if making a casual observation. “Why does. seem to me… that the Lancasters care more about Miss Ghost Doctor?”
“That’s right! Just now, when Isabella lost the piano competition, the Lancasters sided with Miss
Ghost Doctor and just stood by
watching you go through with that t Humiliating bet.
“If you didn’t know any better, you’d think Miss Ghost Doctor was the true apple of
the Lancaster family’s eye p>
That last comment made Isabella’s heart lurch violently.
A huge wave of panic washed over her instantly.
She clenched her fists.
Then, she heard another sentence that made her blood run cold-
“Speaking of which, I can’t help but notice that Miss Ghost Doctor looks an awful lot like Mrs. Lancaster p>
Isabella’s heart leaped into her throat.
Her ears seemed to ring, and the world spun around her, making her almost lose her balance.
“Isabella, why do you look so pale? I was just saying. You didn’t actually take it to heart, did you? Or is it because Miss Ghost Doctor is just so exceptional that you’re feeling the pressure p>
The sharp, piercing, and heart-stabbing words were too much for Isabella to bear.
Her face went from red to white, then to a sickly pale green. She was trembling with anger.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She couldn’t stand the overt and covert ridicule. She abruptly turned and fled the banquet in tears.
She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.
It was all Serena’s fault!
It was all because of Serena that she had lost face so completely at this event!
This was supposed to be the script she had written for Serena!
