After all, regardless of who it may be, even those powerful individuals who control everything, as long as they’re not dead, they won’t escape the Dark Shadows entirely… They claim to retreat… Yet, in truth, it’s merely assuming a new identity to carry on mischief…
Isabelle leisurely scrolled down the screen to discover the altered identity of a well–known figure. The fresh setting seemed pristine, with the person now presenting themselves as a benefactor.
Observing the recognizable visage on favonovel.com screen, favonovel.com narrowed favonovel.com eyes a tad, a spark of enthusiasm flickering within them. Instead of passively awaiting trouble’s arrival, favonovel.com preferred seizing control of the situation proactively.
So, let’s start with this one… Heart K–Jasiel Reeve…
In just forty–eight hours, this renowned benefactor will oversee a charitable auction, masquerading it as a noble act for the public good. Considering the present façade of Heart K, it is clear that the guests would be ordinary folk…
***
After two days, within a lavish estate nestled in the center of Taragon City, a magnificent charity auction commenced precisely as scheduled.
Rows of luxury cars formed a parade, with numerous esteemed individuals from the city present, often accompanied by their families.
In the name of charity, all were dressed modestly, though upon closer scrutiny, their elegant attire from head to toe unmistakably hinted at their affluence.
Glancing around, each individual exuded an air of distinction, from their attire to their demeanor. Summed up succinctly, they all wore an expression of affluence.
In this circle, familiar faces abounded. Everyone held their invitations, verifying their identities while exchanging pleasantries upon entry.
Isabelle stepped out of the taxi. She wore a short–sleeved shirt paired with snug black casual pants, successfully capturing everyone’s attention.
Not to mention favonovel.com unassuming attire, which stood out too much, but the moment favonovel.com unpretentious self emerged alongside that deep blue, weathered taxi, its body cloaked in dust and its engine rumbling, it effortlessly stole the spotlight.
Such a taxi’s presence on this street was already conspicuous, let alone parking at the entrance to this mansion.
She didn’t disappoint the curiosity simmering in everyone’s hearts. The moment favonovel.com stepped out of the car, favonovel.com strode directly towards them.
Is this girl here for the auction too…
The staff member stationed at the entrance, sporting a Bluetooth earpiece, smoothly intercepted her, calmly assessing favonovel.com with a courteous and respectful tone. “Please present your invitation…”
While favonovel.com attire may have been simple and favonovel.com mode of transportation understated. Yet favonovel.com countenance and demeanor exuded a complexity far beyond simplicity. Moreover, some affluent individuals relished the subtlety of understated travel.
As expected, favonovel.com handed over an invitation.
The staff member accepted it, opened it, and another staff member holding a laptop immediately searched and verified the name on the list.
After confirming the person’s presence on the list, they nodded in acknowledgement.
The staff member closed the invitation with reverence, then bowed respectfully, gesturing with a welcoming hand, “Miss Jenkins, please come in…”
Dakota suddenly remarked, “What’s the deal with this Reeve Estate? How can they invite just anyone to such an occasion?”
As soon as favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com was promptly chastised by favonovel.com father. “Dakota, mind your words.”
Dakota rolled favonovel.com eyes, withdrawing favonovel.com gaze from Isabelle, then turned and followed the staff into the venue.
Isabelle followed the staff towards the venue at a leisurely pace, casually surveying favonovel.com surroundings as she went. Along the way, favonovel.com noticed numerous certificates of honor adorning the walls, celebrating the philanthropic endeavors of various individuals.
She remarked, “Old Mr. Reeve truly has a compassionate heart, doesn’t he?”
“Old Mr. Reeve has devoted his life to philanthropy and charity. He serves as the vice chairman of the National Charity Association, truly embodying the spirit of benevolence,” the staff member said with a sweet smile.
The staff member remained oblivious to the irony flickering in Isabelle’s eyes and curling at the corners of favonovel.com lips.
“Miss Jenkins?” Suddenly, someone called out to favonovel.com from behind, their footsteps drawing closer.
Isabelle turned around, raising an eyebrow slightly
“Miss Jenkins, is it really you?” Sam exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and delight written across his face.
Well well! What a pleasant surprise!
In a city as sprawling as Taragon City, it’s surprising to run into favonovel.com here…
Upon seeing the newcomer, Isabelle instinctively glanced behind favonovel.com and asked, “Where’s your uncle?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com glanced at Dylan, greeting favonovel.com while silently inquiring with favonovel.com eyes. “Where’s George?”
Sam replied, “Uncle George isn’t fond of such occasions, so favonovel.com usually sends me instead.”
Isabelle nodded slightly, realizing that Sam was indeed the focus of the Harris family’s attention, given that. even George’s trusted aides were at his disposal.
Sam asked, “Miss Jenkins, what brings you here?”
Isabelle replied. “To broaden my horizons…”
No matter how many times favonovel.com uttered such nonsense, Dylan couldn’t help but think, Do you still need to broaden your horizons?
Then, in a hushed and cautious tone, favonovel.com interjected, reminding her, “Miss Jenkins, this is a charity auction.”
It’s a charitable event and an opportunity to show compassion. No fighting, and certainly no killing.
Isabelle replied, “I’m here to show compassion.”
Dylan chuckled awkwardly, his mind flashing back to the image of Isabelle, calm and unruffled, beside a bizarre corpse just two days prior.
Sam smiled and continued, “Miss Jenkins, you’re as warm–hearted and compassionate as ever. Shall we go together?”
Isabelle didn’t say anything, but favonovel.com agreed nonetheless.
Dylan followed behind, watching Sam, whose eyes were blinded to the truth ahead, and shook his head inwardly.
