A few years ago, when Eliza fell into the water, Isabelle saved her life. Since then, Eliza has regarded Isabelle as a friend and even introduced her to her best friend, Diana Baker.
Because of this, Eliza and Diana have always regarded Isabelle as one of their own.
Knowing that she was a daughter born out of wedlock and was not cared for by her mother at home and was bullied by her other Elizas, so the two personally went to her door to support her.
Knowing that her monthly allowance was small and her expenses were frugal, they would save a portion of whatever was delicious and fun for her, and would take her with them wherever they went.
Knowing that Isabelle had no one to oversee her marriage, Eliza took it upon herself to ask their father to find a reputable lady in Hasen City to help Eliza find a good marriage.
But half a year ago, for some unknown reason, Isabelle’s attitude changed completely. She invited Eliza out for a trip alone, only to push her into the water and watch her sink to the bottom of the lake.

Even more profoundly etched in her memory was the look in Isabelle’s eyes, the hatred in them as if she were looking at her sworn enemy of several lifetimes.
Eliza was utterly disheartened, still unable to comprehend what she had done wrong.
Although she didn’t let her father pursue the matter with Isabelle, she never sought her out again.
Upon learning of the situation, Dianawent gave Isabelle a severe tongue–lashing.
Following that incident, everything for Isabelle reverted to how it was before.
She endured bullying, mockery, and the retraction of a promising marriage proposal.
Upon arriving at Duke’s estate, Isabelle followed a maidservant through the back entrance, taking a circuitous route to Sophie’s courtyard.
As soon as she stepped into the room, Isabelle questioned with a cold expression. “What did you call me here for?
“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Her impatient demeanor suggested she had no desire to linger.
Sophie scoffed disdainfully and said lightly, “Why are you in such a hurry? Eliza has long since left the Duke’s estate. Are you
