Raven glanced at her phone screen, then looked over at Isla with a faint, almost amused smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

For some reason, seeing that expression sent a chill down Isla’s spine. A vague sense of unease crept up on her, though she could not explain why.

Before Isla could say anything, Raven calmly tapped the screen to accept the call. Raven raised the phone to her ear and said in a composed voice, “Hello, General,”

Both Isla and Carl froze, their faces overwhelmed with disbelief. ‘General? Did we hear that right?

There’s no way a General would personally call someone from a second–tier family, right? they wondered.

Whatever the caller said next made Raven let out a soft laugh. “You already set everything up, didn’t you? My opinion? Doesn’t really matter now. If I said no at this point, you’d be in a pretty awkward spot, right?”

There was another pause, then Raven’s smile deepened. “Okay. That’s very thoughtful of you. I got it. I’ll be there tonight.”

On the other end of the line, Lorne finally let out a breath of relief after hearing Raven’s response. He was about to hang up when Raven suddenly stopped him. “Wait.

Her gaze shifted to Isla, who now looked more than a little suspicious. Then Raven said calmly, “Repeat what you just said.”

A strange tension instantly gripped Isla’s heart. The next second, as if she suddenly understood something, she let out a sharp laugh.

But then, as if she suddenly realized something, she burst into laughter.

She clapped her hands together, her face twisted with sarcasm. “Wow. That was really something. You almost had me. Good thing I know exactly what kind of trash you really are. Otherwise, even I might’ve been fooled.”

She stared at Raven with a sneer. “You think answering some random phone call is enough to convince us the General invited you to tonight’s party? Do you seriously believe everyone here is that stupid?”

But the moment Isla finished her sentence, Raven’s entire presence shifted. The air around her seemed to freeze.

Her voice, when she finally spoke, was like a blade of ice cutting through silence. “I told you to repeat what you just said. Why all the whining?

“Didn’t you just say that whoever invited me to the party should be kicked out of the military? Right?”

Isla involuntarily flinched. There was something terrifying in Raven’s tone that made her instinctively take a step back. But the humiliation of being spoken to like that, in front of everyone, quickly sent a wave of rage surging through her.

‘She’s just some second–tier nobody, and she dares to talk down to me in public? She thinks she can disrespect me like that? she wondered.

Fueled by fury, Isla completely ignored Cassian and even her father.

Her voice rose with scorn as she snapped at Raven, “Who do you

you are? What gives you the right to order me

Raven glanced at her with barely concealed contempt, then calmly spoke into the phone, “It’s Isla from the Thornton family. Since she’s a guest at tonight’s event, I won’t touch her for now, After the party, she’s all yours.”
