    The champagne tower crashed with a loud bang.


    But it wasn’t Isabe who fell amidst the debris.

    Just before the incident, Isabe instinctively grabbed onto something. To


    her surprise, she happened to grab hold of the clothes of the person behind


    her. At first, she was able to steady herself, but when that person struggled to


    break free, she was pulled towards the champagne tower.


    Rachel was also shocked. In fact, she couldn’t even remember what


    happened in that moment. ording to her n, Isabe was supposed to


    be the one who fell. But now, it was Rachel who found herself on the floor


    amidst the debris.


    “Quick, call an ambnce! Miss Logan is injured!”


    All eyes turned towards them. Isabe only sprained her foot a little,


    aggravating her old injury from before. But she would be fine after moving


    around for a while.


    A crowd of people rushed in and gathered around Rachel. Only Gordon ran


    straight towards Isabe.


    “What happened?”


    Isabe shook her head and looked at Rachel, who sat among the debris. “It’s


    nothing…”


    She didn’t want to exin much. There are no surveince cameras in the


    Dunkstein Residence, so no one will believe me if I say Rachel pushed me.


    Besides, with her getting injured by the debris, Rachel actually looks more like


    a victim at this moment.


    “It was her! She pushed me!”


    Just as Isabe snapped out of her thoughts, Rachel ‘confirmed’ that she was


    the culprit in front of everyone.


    Her words confused Isabe. My, my… This youngdy certainly knows how to


    creatively apply what she has learned.


    Following Rachel’s usation, Isabe, who stood beside Gordon, instantly


    became the center of attention. People around her whispered and looked at


    her with a slightly biased gaze.


    Seeing this, Gordon frowned and stood in front of Isabe. “Rachel, stop


    spreading nonsense. Why would Isabe push you for no reason?”


    “Gordon!” Ariel stood up and warned Gordon with a disapproving look. She


    couldn’t let him jeopardize the close cooperation between the Dunkstein


    Family and the Logan Family because of an ordinary woman like Isabe.


    Meanwhile, Rachel sat on the ground with blood oozing from her wounds,


    creating a horrifying sight.


    She sobbed as she huddled in the arms of her mother, Megan Randall.


    “Mom, this woman doesn’t like me! When I was outside earlier, she scolded


    me and even told me to stay away from Gordon.”


    Isabe was speechless. I was just giving a live lesson in front of others a


    while ago. But now, I can’t believe I’m the one being taught a lesson. Oh, this,


    is really humiliating!


    It was expected that the crowd would make assumptions after seeing


    Rachel’s injury. Coupled with Isabe’s extraordinary beauty, which perfectly


    suited the role of a mistress, the buzz around Isabe grew louder.


    “Since my daughter was severely injured, I won’t let this matter go!” Megan


    said, being protective of her daughter. ring at Isabe menacingly, she


    continued, “You must give me a clear exnation, no matter what!”


    “It couldn’t have been Isabe!” Gordon stood firmly in front of Isabe,


    disregarding the friendship between their families.


    Tension filled the room for a moment.


    Isabe stepped out from behind Gordon with a sullen expression. “Mrs.


    Logan, I never pushed Miss Logan. With so many people around, someone


    must have witnessed the incident. Miss Logan’s words alone can’t determine


    the truth.”


    Despite her words, she felt uneasy deep down. She knew it would be difficult


    for someone toe forward and testify for her, even if they had seen what


    happened. After all, no one wanted to offend the Logan Family.


    As expected, Megan snorted, showing no fear. “Alright then, find someone to


    testify for you.”


    Upon hearing that, Isabe frowned. She nced around the room. As she


    expected, everyone kept their distance. The buzz had even stopped.


    “Megan, for the sake of our families’ friendship, please don’t make me look


    bad. I’ll ask her to apologize to Rachel. Send Rachel to the hospital first, and


    we can discuss the rest another day.” Ariel didn’t want their family event to


    be spoiled, so she had no choice but to negotiate with Megan.


    “No!” Before Isabe could speak, Gordon interrupted. “Isabe didn’t push


    her, so why should she apologize?!”


    A sense of warmth filled Isabe’s heart as she saw Gordon unconditionally


    believing in her. It had been years since someone had been so protective of


    her.


    ever, she didn’t want to ruin Poppy’s birthday party. So she quietly tugged


    on Gordon’s sleeve and whispered, “Forget it. I will apo-”


    “Mr. Gordon, you certainly are something.”

    Suddenly, a male voice interjected. Its tone was rather mysterious, neither


    praising nor sarcastic.


    Isabe was stunned, and she stopped talking.


    Everyone looked up and saw Seth standing under the window on the second


    floor, holding a wine ss. From his position, he should have witnessed what


    just happened.


    Coincidentally, he was someone who wasn’t afraid to offend anyone. As the


    president of the Shaffer Group, he had the power to offend anyone in the


    room.


    “Tell us, Seth. Did Isabe push Rachel?”


    Surprisingly, Gordon, who had always disliked Seth, immediately asked for his


    testimony. It was as if he was certain that Seth wouldn’t lie.


    Isabe’s body stiffened, and her heart raced. Looking up, she met Seth’s


    intense gaze.
