She knew exactly how to use her fragile, delicate appearance to elicit sympathy from others.

Back when she was dealing with Amelia, she used this trick all the time, always managing to manipulate the Nygards‘ emotions just right.

Because of that, her brothers and even her parents would end up blaming Amelia for everything, thinking she caused all the problems.

“Please don’t try to guilt–trip me, okay? I never asked you to apologize or do anything for me. I just want to leave and have some peace for a while.”

Isabel had been raised with perfect manners and knew exactly how to behave in any situation. From a young age, she learned all the right ways to talk and move.

Every word and gesture she made showed a well–educated, high–class upbringing. Her speech and actions were naturally gentle and poised.

Because of that, even when she was mad and frustrated, her voice stayed soft and gentle.

Being rude or mean just wasn’t something she could do.

“Isabel, please don’t be upset. I know you’re angry with me. Can you just tell me straight what’s bothering you?

“We could be family one day, so we should be honest with each other. I really do see you as my future sister–in–law.”

But facing someone as tricky and sneaky as Gianna, Isabel didn’t have a chance.

Even someone patient and polite would get frustrated with all this emotional pressure. Isabel’s face darkened, and she turned and walked away.

She felt that if she stayed any longer, she might just lose it completely!

“Look at her, acting all proud. Gianna’s trying to be nice, and she still doesn’t appreciate it.”

“Not only that—she just walked off! She doesn’t even care about her fiancé’s sister.”

“If she acts like this in front of everyone, she must be even worse in private. That so–called ‘top socialite‘ title? She probably just bought it.”

People who didn’t know the whole story automatically assumed Isabel was the difficult one.

Gianna, on the other hand, looked like the one being bullied and mistreated.

“Sorry for the trouble, everyone. Please, help yourselves to food and drinks. I’m going to go calm Isabel down.”

Gianna put on her sweet, friendly smile and quickly went after Isabel.

That just made it look like Isabel was the spoiled, grumpy one.

Then she stood up. “Let’s go. A good show is fun, but it’s even better when you join in.”

She started walking toward where Gianna was.

Before Gianna left, she had heard people whispering and talking badly about Isabel, clearly thinking badly of her.

That made Gianna feel satisfied and much more at ease.

Ha! How could someone as dumb as Isabel be the top socialite? That should be my spot, not hers!

Gianna planned to pull Isabel down, ruin her name, and make sure the Nygards cancelled the engagement with the Bluefields.
