Old Mr. Lancaster's mustache bristled with anger. "Nonsense! My Serena... she has business to attend to! What do you mean, holding hands? My Serena was clearly dragging him! And what does that mean? It means your grandson did something to offend Serena!"
Old Mr. Blackwood shot him a smug look. "Keep being stubborn. Anyone with eyes can see they're head over heels for each other, that's why they're inseparable.”
As he spoke, he stroked his cane, his face full of excitement. "Looking at this, I bet I'll be holding a great-grandchild by next year!"
Old Mr. Lancaster spat three times in mock disgust.
While they bickered, other guests at the banquet watched the departing couple and began to murmur among themselves. "It seems Miss Ghost Doctor and the third young master of the Blackwood family are about to tie the knot."
"They truly are a handsome and talented pair, a match made in heaven."
"The Blackwood family... they're really lucky that Miss Ghost Doctor took a liking to him."
"Well, with a face like the third young master's... it's truly a rare sight."
"When those two stand together, even their auras match. They're undeniably compatible."
"For the Blackwoods to have caught Ghost Doctor's eye, they must have done something right in a past life..."
...
These words were like a thousand needles stabbing into Isabella's heart.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, but she didn't feel a thing.
She was burning with jealousy.
Serena had dragged Nicholas away at this very moment, deliberately, to assert her dominance in front of everyone, hadn't she?
She did it on purpose so Nicholas wouldn't see her!
The person standing next to Nicholas, basking in the spotlight, being envied and praised as part of a perfect couple... that should have been her!
For so many years, she was the one who had been by Nicholas's side!
She was the one who had been Nicholas's fiancée for so long, who had invested so much emotion.
Why did Serena get to waltz in and steal everything that was rightfully hers? Why?
And were these people insane?
What did they mean, the Blackwood family was lucky and did something right in a past life to be noticed by Ghost Doctor?
What was Ghost Doctor? It was just an empty title, wasn't it?
Besides, it wasn't even certain that Serena was Ghost Doctor!
Who did Serena think she was, putting on such an act!
Isabella's thoughts were twisted with resentment.
Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Brianna stopped twirling, her eyes sparkling as she followed the direction her dear Serena had gone.
Her sweet little face showed undisguised admiration.
She looked like a complete fangirl.
Nathan couldn't help but smile. "You really like your brother's future wife that much?"
Brianna nodded vigorously, her eyes shining. "I love Serena the most! She saved my life twice! If it weren't for Serena, I'd be long dead."
She clasped her hands together, her face full of adoration. "Serena is so cool and amazing If she were a guy I would totally chase after her and marry her!"
Nathan chuckled. "Too bad. She can only be your brother's future wife."
"I'm happy with her being my
brother's future wife, too! If Serena is
my brother's future wife, I can stick
to her day!" Bria said shaking
her head happily.
Several socialites nearby immediately chimed in, agreeing with Brianna. "Miss Blackwood is
right think Miss Ghost and
Mr Blackwood are truly a match made in heaven!"
"Miss Ghost Doctor has such an extraordinary aura. When she stands next to Mr. Blackwood, it's just... a feast for the eyes."
"You probably couldn't find a more perfect couple in the whole world."
These words were music to Brianna's ears.
