I wore a detached smile, casting a sidelong glance at Emily.
I didn’t need to say a word; she was already defeated! My she–wolf felt a surge of satisfaction.
Her scent, usually subdued, now carried a note of triumph.
The moment she noticed me, her expression shifted dramatically.
She shot me an indignant glare, but then, like flipping a switch, she masked her fierceness with a facade of fear, quickly tugging at Linda’s sleeve and whispering, “Linda, stop.” Her scent shifted dramatically, becoming submissive and fearful.
But Linda, agitated, raised her voice.
Why? Look at all the wicked things Isabella used to do! If she can do it, why can’t I speak up?” Her scent was still aggressive, but now tinged with a hint of fear as she turned to look at me.
Before she could finish, Linda’s eyes widened in shock as she spotted me, her pupils dilating as if they might pop out of her head.
She gasped, “Isabella, what on earth are you wearing?!” Her scent changed entirely, a mix of shock and disbelief. A knowing smile crept onto my lips as I surveyed Linda with a sharp gaze.
My voice dripped with icy sarcasm.
‘So, being more beautiful than Emily is a ‘terrible look‘? Being more beautiful than her is my fault?” My scent was cool and confident, a sharp contrast to Linda’s.
Linda was momentarily speechless, her eyes wide, her lips trembling.
Her scent was completely neutralized by mine, showing her defeat.
Her silence conveyed her belief that my beauty was a fault.
I raised my chin, a cold glint in my eyes.
My voice was firm and defiant.
‘Even if my beauty is a fault, I won’t change this beautiful mistake.” My scent was strong and unwavering.
Laughter erupted around us, a chorus of chuckles that echoed through the room.
How had they not realized how entertaining I could be?
Linda’s face flushed red; her eyes wide with fury.
She gritted her teeth, yelling, “You!” her voice filled with disbelief and anger.
Her scent was volatile and angry.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, then demanded, “Is this fair to Emily? Her brother saved your life!”

Her scent was still aggressive, but less frantic.
At that, Emily’s face drained of color; she was terrified I would bring it up.
She quickly grabbed Linda’s arm, panic flashing in her eyes.
Linda, stop!” Her scent became a mixture of fear and despair.
Linda shook off her arm, turning to her, her tone resolute.
Emily, why are you afraid of her? She owes you, not the other way around!” Her scent was defiant, expressing her
conviction.
I shot a cold glance at Emily as she slowly spoke, my voice as frigid as ice.
“So, because of that, I can’t be more beautiful, better, or live better than Emily, otherwise, I’m guilty?” My scent was sharp and icy.
Linda instinctively wanted to nod; that’s what she believed! Otherwise, Emily was so wronged! But noticing the onlookers, she hesitated; she believed it, but couldn’t say it.
Her scent faltered, showing doubt.
She bit her lip, arguing, “At least you shouldn’t upset Emily.” Her voice lacked confidence; she knew she was wrong!
Ha– I sneered, my eyes sharp.
My scent was dripping with sarcasm.
My voice was low and sarcastic.
“So, being better than her is what makes her upset?”
Hearing her say that, not just me, but even the onlookers found her reasoning absurd.
They’d heard I’d bullied Emily.
But if being better was bullying, then I was the one being wronged! My she–wolf let out a silent triumphant howl.
