Chapter 448 Already Taken

Yet, Isla found herself recalling the scene she had witnessed in the dining hall again.

He skillfully took the woman's hand, without any unnecessary movements, yet there was an innate affection radiating between them.

His relationship with Fay was quite apparent.

As the daughter of the Wilson family, Isla had everything she could ever ask for. Countless admirers sought her affection, yet none of them managed to catch her eye. Now, there finally was a man who caught her eye, but he was already taken and showed no romantic interest in her.

Isla let out a disheartened sigh, feeling as though a heavy stone was lodged in her heart, causing a painful, sour swelling.

She discovered online that Zachary was a Jacasterian, and the headquarters of Fuller Group was also located in Jacaster. Uncle Matthew is also a Jacasterian.

A tinge of regret filled Isla.

Why didn't I agree to accompany Mom on her previous brief stays in Jacaster? If I had gone along, would I perhaps have had the chance to meet Zachary earlier?

Isla, in a bad mood, invited Alice out for a drink.

When Alice arrived, Isla had already started drinking, with nearly half of the bottle on the table already empty.

She wore a slight frown, her face etched with an expression of distress.

Alice cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Who offended our dear Ms. Wilson?"

"No one offended me. I'm just not in a good mood."

As Isla spoke, her face was devoid of any emotion. She tipped her head back and drained the contents of her wine glass in one gulp.

Alice speculated, "Are you feeling down? Could it be because of the man we ran into at the dining hall today?"

Isla's eyebrows furrowed, and she silently poured herself a glass of wine.
