Chapter 101

Cassian had completely shattered Isla’s heart.

Almost everyone in Regalhold’s elite social circle had just witnessed him kissing a woman so far beneath their class, it was scandalous. If Isla still insisted on being with him after that, it would be nothing short of humiliating herself.

So, Isla had to choose Pierce. She had no other choice.

Not far away. Pierce had heard every word. For just a second, a flash of wild joy crossed his otherwise stern face.

Over the past six months, he had become increasingly aware of how much of a threat Cassian posed to his position.

Pierce had brought up the idea of marrying Isla to his father more than once, but each time he was brushed off with excuses about being too busy.

Pierce knew the truth. His father was grooming Cassian. Lately, Pierce had been on the verge of giving up the fight.

But now Carl had openly expressed disappointment in Cassian. And Isla had just confessed her feelings for Pierce in front of everyone. It all felt too good to be true.

Once he secured the Thornton family’s support, Pierce would be locked in as the Lysander family’s next heir.

And once word got out that Cassian had kissed some low–born woman in front of Regalhold’s high society, no other noble family would consider tying their daughter to a man with such poor judgment.

It meant Cassian would no longer be a threat. Pierce turned his head and glanced at Cassian. A slow, cold smile crept across

his face.

Cassian had always been sharp, but now, at such a critical moment, he had blown it.

“Marrying a woman with the right background can change everything. Pierce thought. ‘But Cassian just doesn’t get it. If he’s willing to throw away his future for some nobody, then he deserves to live with the consequences.

Pierce quickly suppressed the thrill rushing through him, then strode over to Isla’s side with an expression of concern. “Isla, are you alright?” he asked gently.

Isla slowly placed her hand on his arm, using it for support as she tried to stand.

Pierce took her hand and helped her to her feet.

But the sting of Cassian’s betrayal still burned, and she forced the revulsion down.

“Brigadier General Conrad,” she said clearly, she snuck into the party with a fake invitation. Not only that, she also spread lies claiming the General invited her personally, and even said he awarded her a medal. I’ve got proof”

Isla handed her phone to Doyle, screen already open to the recording.

As soon as the recording ended, the crowd’s gaze toward Raven shifted entirely. Now, they looked at her like she was already dead.
