Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 857

As the dinner approached, nearly the entire Garland family had gathered.

The three instigators sat brazenly at the main table, laughing and chatting with their relatives.

It was supposed to be a dinner to finalize a marriage, yet the bride’s side couldn't even fill a single table. Naturally, it bred contempt. The family members didn't voice it out loud, but their dismissive attitudes spoke volumes.

Stanford mingled his way around the room, returning to find Isabella still missing. He frowned in irritation. "What is going on? Where is she? Where did she run off to? And you—how could you let her wander around during such an important event?"

Facing Stanford's reprimand, Serena could only force a tight smile. "She should be here any minute. Why don't we go ahead and start?"

"How does that look?" Stanford snapped. "Everyone here is her elder. Does she have no manners at all?"

"You're absolutely right," Serena said, smoothly hooking her arm through his. "When we get home, I'll make sure Isabella apologizes to you properly."

Stanford had been ready to argue further, but her submissive tone softened his glare. He turned his head and adjusted his bowtie.

Feigning total ignorance of his mood, Serena leaned affectionately against his shoulder. They walked into the banquet hall arm-in-arm, playing the part of a blissful new couple.

Leland glanced over his shoulder at his secretary. "Go find Kael."

"Yes, sir."

The secretary nodded, but before he could take a step, Kael strutted through the doors, his hands stuffed casually in his pockets.

Passing Stanford, he paused to offer a greeting.

"Happy wedding, Uncle Stanford."

Over the past few years, Leland's branch of the family had flourished the most. The rest of the siblings had only secured their footing in Stormhollow by riding Leland's coattails. Because of this, Kael was treated like the undeniable heir of the entire clan. Everyone catered to him.

Thanks to that unchecked power, Kael had grown into a lawless, arrogant young man. Most days, he barely even acknowledged his elders with a nod, let alone a formal greeting.

Stanford was pleasantly surprised and quickly responded, "Thank you! Make sure to have a drink with your uncle later."
