Chapter 1952
They roared with laughter.
It did not seem like they knew that Isabel was the only daughter of the Carters, much less Caprice's identity.
There was nothing but slight for Isabel in their voice, and that hostility spread toward Caprice who happened to be her partner.
Caprice frowned.
Upon hearing their unruly waves of laughter, Isabel halted and glared sharply at them. Even with the blinding lights shooting in every direction, there was a piercing shine in her eyes that was unflinching and hostile.
It seemed like she was threatening to pounce on them if any one of them dared to even chuckle at all.
The gossiping women were instantly silenced, not expecting such retaliation from Isabel.
It was only after Isabel led Caprice into the venue that they came back to their senses. They got so infuriated that they began insulting Isabel again, aware that she could not hear them now.
Meanwhile, Caprice and Isabel had stepped into the venue with their invitation cards.
Isabel was a popular actress and immediately drew a lot of attention. Caprice, who was dressed like a princess, received a fair share of reception as well.
Neither was Isabel fazed by the attention nor was Caprice even though she was not a fan of such events and being under the spotlight. She made sure to stick close to Isabel's side.
Isabel got herself a glass of wine while Caprice opted for fruit juice and some pastry. They sat together and ate. From time to time, they would have to brush off the advances of men who came up to Isabel to flirt with her.
At one point, a fine-looking young man who seemed well-behaved approached Caprice.
He looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Hello, beautiful. Would you like to chat for a moment?"
Before Caprice could refuse, Isabel chased the man away, "No. She's my sister-in-law.”
The man was flabbergasted and left with his head downcast in defeat.
Caprice smirked and took a sip of the juice. She liked it when Isabel addressed her as her sister-in-law.
After that, the man stopped flocking toward them. The constant rejection of every man who approached them so far must have sent an effective message that the two girls were not interested.
Isabel continued enjoying her wine.
