After all, with Isabella out of the picture, nobody would have been around to stop her.

But Isaac had taken Isabella’s unpredictable temper into consideration; terrified that showing too much blatant favoritism toward Hannah would trigger another explosion, he ultimately decided to drive Hannah to school himself.

On top of that, he wanted to see for himself exactly how Isabella had fared during her overnight stay with the Carters.

To be completely honest, Isaac still felt like he was locked inside a bizarre dream.

Out of nowhere, Isabella had somehow established an airtight connection with the elite Carter dynasty.

Everyone knew that even though they both operated at the pinnacle of high society, the Powells and the Carters rarely crossed paths socially.

Furthermore, Eugene’s ferocious talent and absolute authority left Adrian completely in the shade, making him a terrifying player whom everyone feared to cross.

Nobody could have predicted that Eugene’s high-and-mighty parents would fall head over heels for Isabella on sight, treating her with such intense affection that they personally insisted she spend the night.

In their elite circles, a billionaire family would never invite an outsider to crash at their estate on a whim.

An invitation like that was a massive, unmistakable signal that they viewed the guest as an absolute extension of their own family.

And that was the exact reality Isabella was currently operating in.

As Isaac and Hannah sat waiting inside their luxury vehicle, Eugene’s recognizable sedan rolled into view and pulled up right before them.

A second later…

Eugene stepped out from the driver’s side, walked with purposeful strides around to the rear passenger door, and personally threw the door open for Isabella.

Isaac and Hannah stared out their windshield, their eyes stretching wide in pure, unadulterated shock.

Even Isabella looked slightly taken aback by the gesture.

“Eugene?”

She cast a questioning look his way.

Eugene let out a smooth, easy smile, “Step on out, sweetie. With me acting as your personal escort, nobody in this school will dare breathe a single nasty rumor about you today.”

Exactly as planned, Eugene was fully prepared to let Isabella launch her social ascent inside Westbrook Academy directly on the shoulders of his own flawless reputation.

If the undisputed ruler of the Carter empire was willing to bend his knee and play chauffeur for Isabella…

Then what brain-dead idiot would ever dare accuse her of being a desperate, social-climbing gold digger?

Eugene’s expression remained perfectly cool and collected.

He knew the dark underbelly and cutthroat rules of the elite world inside out.

Because of that, putting on this show was an absolute must.

Catching his drift, Isabella let out a soft laugh and replied, “Alright then. Much appreciated, Eugene.”

She saw zero reason to push away Eugene’s protective gesture.

The man was willing to throw the entire weight of his social standing behind her reputation, so why play coy?

Besides, she was more than worthy of this level of absolute respect.

Placing her fingers lightly in Eugene’s hand, Isabella stepped gracefully out onto the pavement.

A collective, sharp gasp rippled instantly through the crowd of watching students.

Not a single one of them had expected Isabella to emerge from that elite vehicle.

The campus rumor mill had been buzzing all morning, assuming some powerful Carter relative was transferring into Westbrook Academy.

Instead, the grand mystery guest turned out to be Isabella.

Wasn’t she just the biological daughter the Powells brought back from the sticks?

The one who spent her entire life hiding out in some remote mountain village until recently?

Chapter 105 Bending the Knee

Thanks to Hannah’s subtle engineering, Mia and her toxic clique had already broadcasted Isabella’s biological status across the entire school, purely to humiliate and alienate the new girl.

Furthermore, the massive criminal scandal involving Isabella and those mean girls had exploded so violently that barely a soul in Westbrook remained clueless about it.

Consequently, almost every single eye on campus could recognize Isabella on sight.

And even the few clueless freshmen who didn’t know her were immediately filled in by their

peers.

So right now, watching the legendary Eugene Carter treat Isabella like a fragile glass princess as he handed her down from the car, the entire student body was struck by a wave of pure, unadulterated shock.

Lest anyone forget, Eugene was the undisputed heir to the Carter empire.

He was an active ruler with absolute, tyrannical power over his assets.

He bore zero resemblance to those trust-fund babies who held fancy titles but weren’t allowed to sign a single corporate check.

Eugene had taken the reins of the Carter Group years ago, driving profits to historic heights year after year.

He stood as the absolute gold standard of brilliance among the elite youth.

Furthermore, during the recent chaotic bloodbath where everyone tried to short-sell the Hanks Group, the Carters were the solitary powerhouse that steered completely clear of the trap, emerging entirely unscathed.

The student heirs who were slowly being broken into their family businesses had all heard whispers of his legendary foresight.

And even the clueless kids who didn’t touch corporate affairs had heard their parents raving about Eugene over dinner.

As a result, staring at Isabella as she stepped down with Eugene’s support, the entire crowd burned with a mixture of intense envy and toxic jealousy.

Nobody could believe that this country bumpkin who just crawled out of the mountains could possess such terrifying skill, locking down an ironclad alliance with the untouchable Carters in a matter of weeks.

And make no mistake-this was an elite partnership, a mutual alliance, not some pathetic social climbing.

Eugene’s immaculate, respectful deference toward her told the entire story louder than words.

Any malicious rumors about her gold-digging were blown completely out of the water on the

spot.

Even Brett was caught completely off guard when he saw his big brother pull the door open for

Isabella.

But catching on a split second later, a massive grin broke across his face as he flashed Eugene an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
