Chapter 176


    Isabe turned around and locked eyes with the speaker.

    The person had short hair, a round face, and a tall figure. She was dressed in


    a sleek ck short dress. She looked clean and neat from head to toe.


    If it weren’t for her sharp tongue, Isabe would have given thisdy a


    thumbs up.


    “Miss, do I know you?”


    “You don’t know me, but I do.” Thedy lifted her chin, adopting a proud


    posture. “Gordon brought you here, didn’t he?”


    From her words, Isabe roughly understood that she was being treated as a


    love rival.


    “I’m Rachel Logan. My dad is Hugh Logan.” Thedy introduced herself.


    Isabe was speechless, feeling like this woman was wasting her good looks.


    Besides her sense of fashion, she was just a pretty face.


    She starts by dropping her father’s name. Is she that eager to show off?


    Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Isabe tilted her head, intentionally


    asking, “Logan? Is it Mr. Logan from the aviation industry?”


    Rachel’s expression froze, and she pressed her lips tightly. After some


    thought, she was about to force herself to speak.


    However, Isabe added while supporting her chin with one hand, “No, that’s


    not right. Mr. Logan doesn’t have a daughter. Did I remember it wrong?”


    Rachel’s expression darkened as she red at Isabe.


    Their family was in the food business. Despite doing well in recent years,


    thanks to their connection with the Dunkstein Family, they had nothing to do


    with the Logan Family in aviation.


    In just a few words, Isabe sharply pierced through Rachel’s upper-ss


    facade.


    “You don’t need to bother about who I am. In any case, I’m more


    distinguished than you!” Rachel snorted, ncing toward the direction of the

    hall. Smugly, she said, “Ms. Ariel doesn’t even like you. Don’t you realize that


    yourself?”


    Even without her mentioning it, Isabe had discerned Ariel’s character at a


    nce; she and Xavier were clearly not the same kind of people.


    “Miss Logan, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m just Gordon’s friend. There’s no


    need to treat me as your imaginary enemy,” she exined reluctantly, as she


    didn’t want toplicate matters further.


    Disdainfully, Rachel nced at Isabe as though thetter were lying. “Stop


    pretending. Since you can make Gordon take you home, you must have put


    in some effort, right?”


    After taking a deep breath, Isabe clenched her teeth. “Miss Logan, if you


    keep causing trouble, I won’t be polite.”


    Rolling her eyes, Rachel retorted, “What can you do? At most, you’llin


    to Gordon about me. Do you think I’m afraid of that?”


    “You’re not afraid,” Isabe continued before saying expressionlessly, “But you


    care.”


    Instantly, Rachel bit her lip as those words hit a nerve.


    Isabe leaned against the railing and lifted her chin toward the hall. “Hurry


    up and leave, or I’ll fall next to you and say you pushed me. By then, you won’t


    be able to clear your name.”


    Rachel widened her eyes, her once lively and proud gaze now filled with


    anger. She stomped her foot forcefully. “Just wait and see!”


    This left Isabe at a loss for words.


    She’s such a good-looking and well-dresseddy, but something’s wrong


    with her brain.


    In the end, Isabe couldn’t be bothered to argue further with Rachel. At this


    moment, she saw Molly leaning against Andy Brown. The two were intimate


    and whispering to each other.


    The n was crucial. Isabe couldn’t let the unexpected appearance of a 15:57 Thu, 4 Jan G

    randomdy ruin everything.


    She straightened up, brushed past the infuriated Rachel, and returned to the


    hall.


    After choosing a corner to sit in, she observed the surroundings. She had to


    keep an eye on Andy while remaining vignt about Seth.


    All this while, Seth stayed in the center of the crowd, continuously toasting. He


    held a ss of wine, taking only symbolic sips each time, and hadn’t


    changed the ss for a long time.


    At some point, it seemed like he had something to attend to. He withdrew


    from the crowd and left with Xavier.


    Watching the figure disappear, Isabe finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Indeed, as long as Seth was around, she felt pressured. Such long-standing


    psychological habits weren’t easy to change.


    With this thought, she sighed. As she raised her eyes, she saw that Molly had


    already left with Andy.


    Isabe quickly stood up, holding her purse, ready to follow.


    From her position to the entrance, she had to pass by a champagne tower,


    which was about six feet high, with a waiter nearby.


    Isabe just cautiously avoided it, unaware that someone was approaching


    from behind.


    Suddenly, the person behind her extended their foot and kicked directly


    toward her calf.


    Isabe didn’t even have time to scream; her whole person lurched toward


    the champagne tower.
