Chapter 174: The Familiar Masked Man

(God’s POV)

Isabella Blackwood staggered backward, her face turning deathly pale. Having previously targeted Elena so aggressively in front of everyone, no one stepped forward to defend her now.

The socialites who had once flattered her now deliberately avoided eye contact. They whispered among themselves, clearly distancing themselves from her humiliation.

Elena tugged at Adrian Whitmore’s sleeve, whispering softly, “Don’t mind her anymore. With so many pack members present, the banquet can’t come to a halt because of one person.”

Adrian came to his senses and smiled, saying he had forgotten about this matter. He looked toward Samuel Whitmore, asking if the banquet could begin now.

Samuel nodded and began greeting the guests. The crowd dispersed, gathering in small groups to drink moonlight wine and chat casually.

Isabella stood frozen in place, while the socialites in their circle deliberately avoided greeting her to distance themselves. She had never suffered such humiliation before.

When did it all start going wrong? Was it when she began targeting Elena, or when Elena started fighting back?

It seemed that from that moment on, nothing had gone smoothly for her. Feeling too embarrassed to remain at the banquet, the isolated Isabella turned and left.

At this time, no one paid attention to her departure or even noticed she had gone.

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Elena and Adrian danced the first waltz together. The music flowed elegantly through the courtyard as they moved in perfect synchronization.

Adrian smiled warmly, saying he hadn’t expected his sister to dance the waltz so well. His eyes sparkled with genuine pride and affection.
