“Oh, right,” Isabella said coolly, not even glancing back at Hannah. “Have someone take her over to Mia’s
area.
“It doesn’t look good for a Powell daughter to be wandering around like this.”
She paused, then added, “And let the Bexley people know they don’t owe us any thanks. I’m just doing them a favor.”
“Wasn’t this young lady from the Powell family staying with them before?
“Send her back.”
With that, Isabella turned and walked into the Carter Group’s exhibition space, surrounded by Carter, staff who had been watching the scene closely.
Earlier, when Hannah had rushed over and started hurling insults, several employees had wanted to step ins
But once they recognized her as another Powell daughter, they hesitated–thinking it was likely some internal family drama–and held back, keeping their attention fixed on Isabella instead.
After all, both the CEO and the chairman had made it clear. Ms. Powell was to be looked after at all times. No one dared slip up.
Seeing Isabella moving inside, the staff quickly closed ranks, blocking Hannah from following and letting her shout herself hoarse without response.
At the same time, they signaled event security and instructed them to escort Hannah over to the Bexley Group’s section–specifically, to Mia of the Bexley family.
“She’s a Powell daughter,” one staffer explained quietly to the guards. She’s supposed to be with the Bexleys. If she’s roaming around unattended, it’ll look like she’s gotten lost.”
The security team nodded briskly and moved to take Hannah by the arms, guiding her firmly toward the Bexley area.

Hannah whimpered in helpless despair.
Meanwhile, inside the Carter space, Isabella was led over to where Eugene and a few others were standing.
So Eugene asked, his tone concerned, “everything alright on the way in?”
He’d already been briefed by his team about Hannah’s outburst and Isabella’s instructions to send her back to the Bexleys.
The nasty remarks Hannah had made played again in Eugene’s mind, fueling his anger.
What did Carter family matters have to do with Isabella?
Why dump all the blame on her?
