Danny said, “You guys, go ahead inside. I’ll join you later. I’m waiting for the car owner!”
“Do you believe I’ll kill you here?” Kennedy threatened.

Isabelle put the car key in favonovel.com pocket and followed the crowd into the banquet hall. Dressed in a comfortable hoodie and sneakers, Isabelle’s casual outfit starkly contrasted with the elegantly dressed guests. Her laid-back demeanor made favonovel.com seem out of place.
The guests glanced at favonovel.com curiously, wondering whose child favonovel.com was.
“Is favonovel.com here for the birthday celebration, too?”
“She must be one of Principal Burton’s students.”
“This girl is quite pretty, with fair skin and a gentle demeanor. She seems to have a good character. I’m curious to learn more about favonovel.com background. I’d like it if favonovel.com comes from the same social circle.”
“How could favonovel.com show up in that outfit? She seriously doesn’t understand the social rules.”
“Her again? What’s favonovel.com doing here?” Dakota spotted Isabelle and immediately stood up from the sofa. “Who is it?”
Such a small world!
Bella followed Dakota’s gaze and saw Isabelle. She muttered, “Ah… A country bumpkin. She came here dressed like that, so unsophisticated. Even with money, favonovel.com doesn’t know how to spend it.”
“You know her?” Dakota asked.
Bella replied, “We’re at the same school. She’s a freshman this year. I lost a year’s worth of allowance to favonovel.com in a bet.”
Dakota asked, “What kind of bet? Did favonovel.com scam you out of your money, too?”
Bella muttered, “I don’t want to talk about it.”
Completely missing Dakota’s emphasis on ‘too!
Dakota said, “No wonder favonovel.com can afford to go to those fancy places. It turns out she’s been scamming money from you.”
As expected, that girl is a rotten person! She came by taxi but claimed favonovel.com was the original owner of Luxe Luster.
How long has Lure Luster been in business? And how old is she?
Those blind fools at Luxe Luster must be targeting my family!
Dakota grabbed favonovel.com drink and headed straight towards Isabelle even there were many people around.
Since Magnus was busy mingling with guests, Isabelle decided to approach favonovel.com later. She was about to find a place to sit when trouble found her.
“You again? Who let you in here? Do you know where you are?” Dakota blocked Isabelle’s path.
Thinking it was Magnus’s birthday party and not wanting to cause a scene, Isabelle chose to ignore favonovel.com and walk away.
This move infuriated Dakota, and favonovel.com chided, “Who allowed you to walk away? I’m talking to you. Stop right there!”
“Hey! Didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf?!” Dakota persisted, following Isabelle, who paid favonovel.com no attention. Frustrated, favonovel.com quickly stepped in front of Isabelle again.
Seeing Isabelle’s pretty face, Dakota acted on impulse and splashed favonovel.com drink in favonovel.com direction.
Isabelle’s response was swift, favonovel.com reacted at once. She blocked Dakota’s hand, causing the drink to spill all over her.
Dakota let out a shocked scream and attracted many people looking at them.
“Isn’t that, Ms. Dakota? I heard favonovel.com has a bad temper. Who dared to splash favonovel.com with a drink?”
“What’s happening here?”
“That young girl’s in trouble now.”
Murmurs filled the room.
Dakota was soaked with the drink and had it dripping down favonovel.com face and chest, ruining favonovel.com meticulously done makeup. Raised in privilege, favonovel.com couldn’t believe someone would dare humiliate the esteemed Miss Sullivan in public.
She glared at Isabelle, favonovel.com eyes burning with rage, as if favonovel.com were ready to devour her.
“Damn you!” Dakota raised favonovel.com hand to slap Isabelle.
The crowd gasped.
“Stop it!” A commanding voice boomed and halted Dakota in favonovel.com action.
She looked up to see Kennedy stroll over with a cane in hand. The old man positioned himself like a mountain between Dakota and Isabelle.
Kennedy scolded favonovel.com harshly, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you bullying this young girl? Who’s daughter are you? Are you from the Sullivans? Call your parents over here. I want to ask them how they’ve been raising you!”
Kennedy’s commanding presence stunned Dakota. She immediately retorted, “It’s… It’s favonovel.com fault. She spilled the drink on me.”
Kennedy’s eyes widened in fury, and favonovel.com chided, “Don’t lie. I saw it clearly. You were the one bullying her!”
Danny followed in and asked, “Boss, are you okay?”
Melissa also approached and asked concernedly, ‘Isabelle, are you alright?”
Isabelle calmly placed favonovel.com hands back in the large pocket of favonovel.com hoodie. If Kennedy had been a couple of seconds slower, something on Dakota would have definitely been broken.
Isabelle said, “Your grandfather is in good health…”
Danny replied, “No kidding. I got hit twice with his cane at the entrance just now, and my dad got beaten by favonovel.com yesterday.”
Melissa nudged Danny and reprimanded, “It’s fine to tell your own embarrassing stories, but don’t bring Dad into it.”
