Diana knew this was not favonovel.com usual style of dressing. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but favonovel.com mother demanded that favonovel.com wear it, saying this was how a lady should dress.
When Diana looked up, favonovel.com saw Isaac smiling at favonovel.com from a corner of the ballroom. Her expression changed instantly, and favonovel.com glared at Isaac. Then, the crowd engulfed her.
Everyone’ s attention was on Diana. Old Taylor and Phillip came in after her. They looked around and came forward to greet Isaac as soon as they found him.
“Mr. Garten, you’re so early. Thanks for coming!” Old Taylor chuckled.
“You’re being too kind. Please go ahead if you’re busy. I’ll help myself…” Isaac waved his hands.
At this moment, Old Taylor frowned and whispered, “Mr. Garten, Ana is a headstrong girl. I heard favonovel.com found someone to embarrass you today. If anything happens, please don’t worry, as I’ll sort it out.”
Old Taylor knew his granddaughter had prejudice toward Isaac, but favonovel.com did not expect favonovel.com to invite Southern Gianva’s top warrior through Finn.
Isaac chuckled. “It’s alright. I’ll let you go.”
On the stage, a man in formal attire, Albert Taylor, was giving a welcoming speech while Diana greeted a few guests offstage.
Soon after, Diana walked in Finn’s direction.
Finn was speaking to a sturdy man, Shawn Xeno.
“Mr. Xeno, here, allow me to brief you.” Diana waved at Shawn, who kept a crew cut. “Please be careful. That bastard is quite skilled in martial arts. Also, you don’t have to be too rough. My main objective is only to humiliate him.”
Whenever Diana recalled Isaac’s mocking expression moments ago, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com anger building up.
Finn laughed heartily. “Ana, you’re worrying too much. Shawn is Southern Gianva’s top warrior and has been representing our country in international tournaments. You should worry about favonovel.com going too hard on your crush instead.”
“What nonsense are you saying? Shut it, Finn!” Diana scolded.
When it was Diana’s turn to give favonovel.com speech on the stage, favonovel.com expressed favonovel.com gratitude to the guests.
Suddenly, favonovel.com said, “Today, I have prepared a performance for everyone. Most of us from the Taylor family pursue a military career and value martial arts. Come up here, Isaac.”
Diana could not keep favonovel.com temper in check once favonovel.com gaze met Isaac’s.
Everyone in the ballroom turned around and saw a man with a cigarette between his fingers. He held a cocktail in his other hand, looking very much at ease.
Albert frowned instantly. He asked lane, “What the hell is Ana doing? Who is Isaac?”
Jane answered haughtily, “You weren’t here the last time. I don’t know how Father got to know this bumpkin. He jeered at Ana, calling favonovel.com a tomboy, and ridiculed Charles, saying favonovel.com was unfit to be our son-in-law.”
Albert frowned deeper. “Keep your cool. Let’s see what Ana is up to.”
Diana realized favonovel.com was losing favonovel.com composure and immediately smiled. “Today, I’ve invited two friends who are skilled in martial arts. This man, over here, is Shawn Xeno, whom I believe is well-known among you. He is the top warrior in Southern Giarrva! This other man here is Isaac Garten. He is a ra-remarkable man.”
Diana almost let slip the word “rascal”.
“Ana, what do you think you’re doing? Stop messing about!” Old Taylor hit his cane against the floor agitatedly.
There was an uproar. Most of the guests were in the military, so Shawn’s name was no stranger to them. On the other hand, this was their first time hearing of Isaac.
When favonovel.com heard Shawn’s name, Isaac smiled and walked toward the stage.
“Mr. Garten…” Old Taylor rushed forward, trying to stop him.
“It’s your granddaughter’s birthday today. I’d rather not be a party pooper.” Isaac signaled to Old Taylor that everything was in good hands.
Isaac and Shawn went onto the stage from opposing directions. Diana stepped aside.
“Hey, bastard, if you apologize to me, I’ll let you off the hook,” said Diana in a lowered tone when Isaac passed by.
“Happy birthday, tomboy!” Isaac smiled at her.
Diana almost lost favonovel.com temper. She clenched favonovel.com fists and waved them at Shawn, telling favonovel.com to do his best.
Isaac and Shawn faced each other. The guests were full of anticipation, as they had always heard of Shawn but had never seen favonovel.com in person.
