Isabella had been absent-minded and in a bad mood recently. She finally found out why Tom left in a hurry that day even without telling her. It turned out that something happened to his family and he had offended a super big shot.
There were rumors saying that Tom was doomed, and even their the Paynes was now warned by that super big shot and began to draw a line with Tom.
To be honest, when she heard the news, she was still very sad, as if she was about to lose someone she liked.
She couldn't help but ask Myles if Tom could get through the crisis this time. Myles shook his head, looked regretful, and said that it was pitiful.
She was not stupid. She understood what her father meant. Tom was in danger and was very likely to be killed.
Death was not a strange concept to her. Two years ago, her grandmother passed away. She was especially sad for she would never see her grandmother again. From then on, she disappeared. No matter how rich or powerful her family was, they could not bring her back to life.
Tom was so young but he was doomed. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling she felt. She was uncomfortable, reluctant, regretful, disappointed...
Actually, she didn't know Tom very well, and she only met him two or three times. But the last time she saw Tom out, they bumped into her ex-boyfriend cheating on her, so after that she had a strange feeling for Tom. She thought they had a common experience between them...
"Alas..."
Isabella let out a long sigh, feeling very upset.
A female classmate next to her said, "Isabella, did you really broke up with Heath? You've been sighing and absent-minded lately."
Another female classmate also said, "I thought Heath was a playboy for a long time. As expected, he did something worse than a beast. Isabella, don't be sad for a scumbag like Heath. I'll introduce you to some handsome men and you can forget Heath immediately!"
Isabella shook her head and said, "It's not because of Heath."
Strangely enough, she had been in love with Heath for three years so she should be very sad about this breakup, but apart from being sad at that moment, she felt better the next day. On the contrary, when she heard that Tom was in danger, she was even sadder and more anxious.
But her classmates obviously didn't believe her words.
One of them thought of something and suddenly said, "By the way, tonight is Mr. Hall's birthday. I heard he has a grant party. Many friends have been invited. There will be many handsome men. Let's go there too!"
"That's right, this is a rare opportunity. Isabella, if you go, you will definitely be the focus of everyone! At that time, those handsome men will all queue up to please you. That will be so cool."
Isabella was not in the mood to attend someone else's birthday right now. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm not interested. I'd better go back to the dormitory and read the books."
Her classmates immediately held her back and tried to persuade her, "Oh, that's so boring. Why don't we go to Mr. Hall's birthday together?"
"That's right. Besides, you can read whenever you want, but Mr. Hall's birthday is not always available."
"That's it! Tonight, we'll dress up beautifully and attract those handsome men's attention!"
Isabella was a little into it by what they said. She was indeed bored these days. If she had the chance to go to a birthday party, she would be in a good mood.
Mr. Hall, of course, was Wade.
