A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body

Chapter 362 The General’s Favor

Unable to refuse Margaret’s warm enthusiasm, Isabella had obliged.

Seeing Raymond and her uncles visibly agitated, Isabella inquired into the cause, her expression turning chilly upon learning Preston had just dropped by with snide remarks.

“Pay them no mind, Grandfather.

“They are dead men walking, running out of time.”

Isabella remarked with cool detachment.

“Come, let us pay our respects to Mr. Wayne.”

Hearing her calm words, the tension drained from Raymond’s face.

Bella was right–there was no reason to lower himself to Preston’s level.

His physical vitality was returning day by day anyway.

And Sinclair Enterprises would only climb to greater heights.

Once he perfected that battery architecture, the Kellers wouldn’t even graze their coattails, powerless to lay a finger on them.

He had no reason to fret over the Keller syndicate.

Reassured by the thought, he gave a proud snort, “You’re spot on, Bella. There’s no point in wasting breath on scoundrels like that.

“Let’s go deliver our birthday wishes.”

With that, the party made their way toward the main reception hall.

Steven Wayne sat at the center of the grand hall, surrounded by a dense crowd of well–wishers.

Guests showered him with glowing congratulations, smoothly offering lavish toasts and high- society compliments.

Steven bantered warmly with the guests, beaming with genial good humor.

Right then, Isabella approached alongside the Sinclairs and Margaret.

“Mr. Wayne, wishing you boundless health, enduring strength, and a very happy birthday.”

Receiving the parcels with a broad smile, Steven chuckled, “Look at you, Bella–having you here is gift enough, there was no need for presents.”

Turning to address the prominent guests gathered around him, he announced, “This is Noah’s classmate from Westbrook Academy, and his brilliant private tutor.

“She is remarkably well–mannered, sharp, and exceptionally gifted.

“Noah’s academic turnaround this semester is entirely thanks to her guidance.

“Her family recently went through some rough weather, but this young lady has a heart of gold, so if any of you cross paths with her family down the road, I expect everyone to lend a generous hand.”

Steven spoke in a relaxed, casual tone.

Yet not a single dignitary in the hall dared take his words lightly.

His public endorsement made it unmistakably clear that he held Isabella in high esteem, warning anyone against using Powell Group’s ruin to corner her.

It was an unambiguous display of unconditional backing.

In an instant, the way the room regarded Isabella shifted noticeably.

The dignitaries offered eager agreements, pledging their full support without hesitation.

Turning back to Isabella, Steven smiled warmly, “Head over to the private lounge next door- Noah and his friends are hanging out there, so you won’t be bored.

“Let your grandfather and the Carters stay here with me so we can catch up.”

This arrangement was meant to elevate her family as well.

Keeping Raymond and the Carters at his personal table granted them elite social visibility.

It offered both families prime networking opportunities at the center of the room.

With so many elites circulating through, everyone would note their standing, deterring future underhanded attacks.

An introduction of this caliber was a privilege countless tycoons dreamed of securing.

Listening to his deliberate arrangements, Isabella felt a gentle stir of warmth in her chest.
