Chapter 226
The scene was so shocking it left everyone stunned.
The man they recognized was a servant from the Schneider family, who had just been serving them wine downstairs moments ago.
As for the woman, when they saw her face, everyone gasped and exclaimed, “Isn’t that Dr. Lovett’s sister, Ivana?”
Brittany’s eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, How could it be Ivana?
As the crowd gathered, the man quickly snapped back to reality and rolled away from her.
Ivana’s mind raced as she gradually regained her senses, only to find contemptuous gazes fixed on her.
Looking down at her exposed body, she instantly realized what had happened and screamed.
Panicking. Ivana grabbed a disheveled skirt to cover herself, crying out, “Get out! Get out of here!”
She thought, ‘How did it come to this? Where is that witch Isabella? Why am I in this situation?”
Just then, a male voice called from outside the crowd. “What happened?”
Ivana’s heart sank as she recognized Jayden.
She thought, ‘No, I can’t let Jayden see me like this. I had just repaired my relationship with him. If…”

She couldn’t bear to think of the consequences. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. She held her messy dress to cov herself and instinctively hid behind the sofa.
But it was too late. As Jayden entered, he immediately saw her exposed state.
His face suddenly darkened. “Ivana!”
He thought, ‘How can she behave so disgracefully? Here is the Schneider residence, filled with wealthy young elites. How will I face them after this?‘
The crowd’s gaze shifted to Jayden, who had brought Ivana, presenting her as his girlfriend.
Whispers spread among the guests, “I can’t believe Jayden is into this.”
“Come on, who in our circle doesn’t have some personal interests? We all know that.”
“Pfft, having a girlfriend who sleeps with male servants? That’s shocking in any circle.”
All these discussions reached Jayden’s ears, and his fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking noise.
Ivana’s face turned pale with fear as she quickly pulled her dress on.
She walked over to Jayden trembly, grabbed his arm, and quickly explained, “Jayden, I don’t know how this happened. I just brought my sister to change her clothes…”
She paused and looked at Jayden in disbelief. “It must have been her doing! I fainted, and when I woke up, I was like this.”
She thought, ‘It must be Isabella. She’s behind this. But I had knocked her out and even drugged her to ensure she wouldn’t wake up. Why did it end up like this?‘
Austin knelt on the ground, trembling, afraid to speak.
He had been paid by Prana, and it was who ended up in this ti
Even now, his mand was still in a dare. He had also acted on pore instinct, unable to tell if the woman in front of him was
Ivana’s words cessed the crowed to murmur less, and they were extremely suspicious whether Isabella had orchestrated this They looked around but couldn’t find her or her associates
Jayden’s expression darkened further.
He thought, Tabella is so outrageous. How dare she do such a thing?
Meanwhile, Isabella stood outside the crowd, coldly smiling at the scene. She thought, Ivana certainly had a way with words, shifting blame onto me. If that’s the case, I won’t hold back.
As speculation filled the air, Isabella’s voice cut through from the doorway. “What are you all doing here?”
Brittany’s expression changed dramatically as she took in Isabella’s clean, composed appearance.
She thought, Wasn’t Ivana supposed to have knocked her out? What’s going on? Useless fool!
Panic surged within Brittany as she realized Isabella was more complex than she appeared, causing her to grip tighter unconsciously.
At least it wasn’t a total loss. She was determined to take revenge on both Isabella and Ivana, but for now, she would get back at Ivana sooner than intended. There would be future opportunities for Isabella.
Meanwhile, Ivana trembled at the sight of Isabella.
She thought, “Why is this witch awake, and why is she here? Had she known everything I’d done to her just now?”
The thought of everyone discovering her involvement filled her with dread. She couldn’t let that happen.
Just as she prepared to confront Isabella, she was interrupted.

Isabella glanced at the scene before her and, spotting Ivana almost glued to Jayden, remarked, “Come on, this is a public place. Even if you want to flaunt your romance with Jayden, you can’t do it here.”
Ivana screamed, glaring fiercely at Isabella, and shouted, “Isabella, shut up!”
Out of instinct, she glanced at Jayden, who was growing increasingly hostile, and shook off her hand, sending her heart into a panic.
Jayden glared at Isabella, warning, “Isabella.”
He was in the entertainment industry, and if these words got out, they would ruin him.
Isabella was going to ruin him.
Many in the crowd murmured about Isabella’s sharp tongue.
Someone cautiously glanced at Jayden and whispered, “Dr. Lovett, ‘the male lead‘ isn’t Jayden. There’s someone else.”
She signaled with her eyes to the spot where Austin was kneeling.
Isabella suddenly noticed the ‘protagonist‘ in the room, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?”
Isabella didn’t finish her words, but everyone understood what she implied.
She thought, ‘Doesn’t Ivana love acting? Then I’ll put on a show for her
Ivana glared at Jayden, her panic rising. She couldn’t be manipulated by Isabella and needed a strategy to regain control.
Ivana cried even harder, her whole body trembling, “Isabella, even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t set me up. I’m your sister, after all.”
Brittany laughed, enjoying the spectacle. She was content to watch the drama unfold, regardless of who emerged victorious.
The crowd’s perception of Isabella shifted as they observed the unfolding chaos.
