Kennedy’s voice boomed. “If favonovel.com dares to bully someone so openly in front of everyone, what kind of behaviour does favonovel.com display in private?!”
For the first time, Dakota was publicly scolded by someone, and it was none other than Kennedy, leaving favonovel.com unable to retort. Her face flushed with embarrassment.
Danny chimed in, “The Sullivan sisters are really something. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let Bella off so easily last time. Now that Grandpa is here, she’s really out of luck. Watch my grandpa scold favonovel.com father as well.”
Unbeknownst to Danny, Bella was standing right behind him. When favonovel.com overheard Danny’s words, favonovel.com glared at the back of his head.
It wasn’t my fault, I hadn’t been involved!
“What’s going on?” Maverik, Dakota’s father, approached after hearing the commotion.
“What happened? Why are you so angry, Old Mr. Holmes? Calm down, please.” Maverik looked at Kennedy, then at his daughter.
Kennedy pointed his cane at Dakota and bellowed, “Is this your daughter? Ask favonovel.com what favonovel.com just did.”
Maverik turned to his daughter and asked, “Dakota, what’s going on?”
She had never received such a harsh reprimand from an outsider. She felt both angry and wronged.
“I…” Dakota couldn’t get the words out.
Danny, always the good Samaritan, explained on favonovel.com behalf, “Mr. Sullivan, favonovel.com tried to pour wine on someone, got blocked, and ended up drenching herself. She got furious and tried to hit the person, but my grandpa caught her.”
Maverik recognized Isabelle standing beside Danny. He assumed it had something to do with the auction incident. Maverik knew his daughter’s temper well enough not to need an explanation of how the conflict arose.
Feeling both angry and disappointed, Maverik looked at his daughter and called out, “You!”
The guests around them were buzzing with discussion.
Dakota wished favonovel.com could find a hole to crawl into. She lowered favonovel.com head, silently cursing Holmes and Isabelle.
“Apologize,” Maverik ordered.
Dakota couldn’t swallow favonovel.com pride,
“I said, apologize,” Maverik repeated firmly.
“The young lady is lucky. Everyone knows old Mr. Holmes despises bullying. She would have suffered severe bullying from Ms. Sullivan without his support…” On of ghe guests commented.
Danny, seeing his opportunity, explained the situation again, making sure everyone could hear.
He saw Dakota’s embarrassment and almost wished favonovel.com had a megaphone to ensure no one missed out Maverik hurriedly apologized to Magnus for the disturbance at his birthday party.
Magnus raised his hand to interrupt, his expression darkened, and favonovel.com said, “Mr. Sullivan, you owe the apology to someone else.”
Seeing Magnus’ reaction, the guests realized Isabelle must be a favourite student of his, someone favonovel.com was willing to protect.
Magnus added, “Also, Isabelle is a guest of honor today. This girl is someone I took great effort to invite.”
Hearing this, the crowd was astonished.
“A guest of honor? What’s favonovel.com background?”
“Mr. Burton is highly respected. Even Mr. George would have to show his respect. How could this girl be more difficult to invite than Mr. George?”
Danny looked at Isabelle and commented, “Guest of honor? Are top students that valuable now? Just because favonovel.com can solve math problems?”
Maverik glanced at Isabelle.
Dakota couldn’t believe that this poor girl, who travelled by taxi and scammed people, was actually a guest of honor for Magnus.
At this moment, another person entered the hall.
Under favonovel.com father’s stern command, Dakota reluctantly apologized to Isabelle. Feeling utterly humiliated, favonovel.com then ran out of the hall as soon as favonovel.com finished.
“Your daughter is so immature. Even if there is a personal grudge, favonovel.com should consider the occasion and the company in attendance. She relied on favonovel.com family’s influence to behave so poorly.”
As expected, Kennedy also scolded Maverik.
Danny was enjoying the scene until his grandfather’s reprimand extended to him.
“I can’t stand these spoiled kids,” Kennedy continued.
Danny immediately stopped smiling and straightened up.
Maverik felt greatly disgraced. Before informing Magnus favonovel.com was leaving, favonovel.com apologized on behalf of his daughter.
Bella tried to sneak away. Then favonovel.com saw favonovel.com father returning from a phone call and was clueless about what had just happened.
Bella lifted favonovel.com dress and rushed over. She said, “Dad, let’s go home….”
Wade Sullivan sighed. “You’re so thoughtless… The banquet hasn’t even started. Why are we leaving so early? What’s everyone gathering around for? Are they cutting the cake?”
Wade tried to peer into the crowd but suddenly spotted Isabelle. He froze, staring incredulously at the girl.
That face…
Isabelle’s delicate features and indifferent expression stood out among the crowd. Her face overlapped with the gentle, graceful woman from his memory.
