Jayden glanced sideways at Ivana and whispered, “I’ve got some business to attend to
Recently, the Logue family’s business performance had been dropping significantly, so he needed to build a good relationship with the Schneider family to save his family’s business.
Ivana couldn’t be happier that Jayden was about to leave, giving her the chance to see Isabella.
She nodded gently and said, “Alright, Jayden, you go ahead and take care of your things. Don’t worry about me.”
Jayden nodded slightly, then turned and walked away.
As soon as Jayden left, Brittany, who had been watching Ivana, walking up to her directly.
Ivana was surprised to see Brittany.
Ivana remembered Brittany’s warning from the other day, and fear began to creep in.
Forcing a smile, Ivana greeted Brittany politely, “Miss Patterson, what a coincidence.”
Brittany just gave her a cold look and said in a serious tone, “Come with me.”
Ivana felt even more anxious but had no choice but to follow.
They came to the garden.
With only the sounds of insects in the quiet, Ivana watched Brittany walking ahead, feeling even more uncertain.

Seeing no one around, Ivana tried to maintain her composure and asked, “Miss Patterson, why did you ask me to come here?”
Brittany crossed her arms and looked at Ivana coldly, then asked bluntly in a deep voice, “What’s your relationship with Jayden?”
Ivana was taken aback, wondering what Brittany’s purpose was in asking this question.
After thinking it over, she tried to appear a little shy and replied, “Jayden is my boyfriend.”

For whatever reason, it did Ivana no harm to let Brittany know that Jayden was in a relationship with her.
Brittany was super shocked.
But she remembered how Jayden had just spoken to Ivana so warmly. It didn’t seem suspicious.
Brittany felt that it was so frustrating that a woman like Ivana could be Jayden’s girlfriend!
Brittany’s expression grew angry as she thought about how Ivana had humiliated her at the Stout Group the other day and she stepped closer to Ivana.
Ivana instinctively stepped back, fear tightening its grip on her heart as she stammered, “What… What do you want?”
Brittany sneered at Ivana and said, “Tell me. How should I take revenge for the humiliation you caused me last time?”
If Brittany didn’t do something, she wouldn’t be able to ease the anger burning in her heart!
Ivana instinctively thought about the things the Patterson family had done behind the scenes and shook her head, her face turning pale as she quickly said, “Miss Patterson, you can’t do this. Jayden would be really angry if he found out.”

She had to mention Jayden.
After all, the Logue family wasn’t someone ordinary people could mess with.
However, Brittany sneered, “You think I’ll be afraid of Jayden? So naive?
At that moment, Ivana was really panicking!
Ivana thought Brittany was like a demon.
Ivana absolutely couldn’t let Brittany do what she was up to!
Ivana suddenly thought of something and quickly said to Brittany, “Miss Patterson, I wronged you before, but shouldn’t the person you really want to get revenge on be Isabella? Besides, she’s coming today.”
Ivana didn’t dare to be careless, keeping her eyes tightly on Brittany. If Brittany could be distracted, she’d be safe!
Moreover, having Brittany help against Isabella increased her chances of winning.
After all, there had been too many failed attempts against Isabella before, so Ivana needed to be more prepared this time.
Brittany paused, looking at Ivana in surprise as she blurted out, “She’s coming today too?”
Ivana saw hope and nodded eagerly, answering, “Yes.”
Brittany squinted, an
even stronger menace gleaming in her eyes.
Seizing the opportunity, Ivana quickly leaned forward and whispered in Brittany’s ear, “We could do it this way…”
Ivana laid out her entire plan, and when she saw Brittany’s expression gradually brighten, she finally felt relieved.
Brittany looked at Ivana with a meaningful smirk and said, “You really are ruthless.”
Ivana had come up with such a method to deal with Isabella.
After all, Isabella was Ivana’s sister.

Ivana didn’t think much of it, her eyes filled with hatred as she said coldly, “That’s because you haven’t seen how ruthless she is to me. That woman should have been in hell a long time ago.”
If it weren’t for Isabella, Ivana felt that she and Jayden would have been married by now, and the Stout Group would have
been hers.
Over the years, because of Isabella, everything Ivana did was overshadowed.
Ivana would eliminate anything that was against her.
Brittany looked at Ivana and sneered.
Great, she loved people who would do everything to achieve their goals.
As Brittany walked towards the party, her voice shrilled through the air, “Okay, I’ll spare you this time because you came up with a good plan. But if you dare to trick me, you’re dead!”
Ivana watched as Brittany’s figure faded into the distance, exhaling slowly. She closed her eyes, taking a moment to regain her composure before a cold laugh escaped her lips.
‘Isabella, today is the day you lose everything!‘ thought Ivana.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Schneider family’s estate.
Nick stood waiting by the car door, dressed in a tailored navy suit.
His handsome face carried a bit of urgency, and he looked at his wristwatch from time to time.

It wasn’t until Samuel’s Maybach pulled up at the estate entrance that Nick smiled, quickly stepping forward to greet him. When the car door opened, he respectfully said, “Welcome, Samuel.”
This scene puzzled Isabella a little.
The Schneider family wasn’t much different in power compared to the Howerton family, yet Nick acted like he was meeting his boss.
Samuel nodded slightly as if he was used to it, then looked at Isabella and, like a gentleman, offered his hand to her gently, saying, “Take it slow.”
It was only then that Nick noticed someone else in the car… His eyes widened–such a beautiful woman!
Isabella grinned softly and got out of the car, led by Samuel’s gentle guidance.
Nick was extremely surprised!
Could this be the same usually cold and distant Samuel showing such thoughtful care?
Most importantly, he had someone with him? A woman!
In the past, at all kinds of events, Samuel would always appear alone, never a sign of a female companion.
But the next moment, Nick realized that this gorgeous woman was Dr. Lovett.
He immediately bent forward, somewhat excitedly saying, “Welcome, Dr. Lovett! It’s my honor to have you attending my -party!”
Previously, Nick had invited Dr. Lovett through George, but there had been no reply from her.
Nick had thought Isabella wouldn’t come at all.
But not only did she show up, she came with Samuel!
However, as Nick reached out to shake Isabella’s hand, he suddenly sensed a cold, intense aura coming from behind him.
Nick immediately withdrew his hand.
He knew what that look in Samuel’s eyes meant.
Isabella smiled courteously at Nick and said, “You’re too generous, Mr. Schneider.”
She turned slightly, holding Samuel’s arms, making their relationship evident.
A flicker of envy appeared in Nick’s eyes. Samuel acted incredibly fast! He actually managed to have Queenie attend the banquet with him.
Nick composed himself and respectfully said to Samuel, “Mr. Howerton, Dr. Lovett, this way please.”
Nick led Isabella and Samuel toward the manor.
As they got to the front yard, Samuel glanced at Isabella and said in a low voice, “Bella, just have fun at the party. I have matters to discuss with Mr. Schneider.”

Although Samuel said he came for the dinner party, he was actually here to discuss work.
These project details were set earlier, and as the start date approached, they were to make a more detailed plan.
Isabella nodded and replied, “All right.”
In the next moment, Samuel leaned in, placed a gentle kiss on Isabella’s forehead, and then turned to go inside.
Nick, who was left behind, was shocked, his eyes wide open.
