Chapter 371

Adrian Valentine's group happened to witness the earlier commotion.

His deep-set eyes narrowed slightly.

The business world was a battlefield where the strong preyed on the weak.

Margaret Valentine using such tactics to crush competitors was hardly surprising.

Since Old Li had already refused to cooperate, why would Evelyn Roland humiliate herself further?

Isabella Langley clung to Adrian's arm, her lips curling in smug satisfaction.

With Aunt Margaret overseeing things, Evelyn truly had no room to maneuver.

The real spectacle awaited her inside the banquet hall.

Daniel Sherwood and Natalie Lowell would both be present.

The thought of Evelyn's impending public disgrace made Isabella tremble with excitement.

"Adrian, why is Evelyn being so stubborn?" She tilted her head with feigned innocence. "Should we cut off her escape routes like last year?"

Adrian turned, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Her venomous nature was gradually revealing itself.

What a waste of this custom-tailored suit—he'd have to discard it later.

"Think you're popular?" His voice dripped with ice.

Isabella stiffened. "What do you mean?"

"Mind your own business." He shook off her grip. "Don't forget about the video."

Her face drained of color.

That damned video!

She still hadn't uncovered who was behind it.

Warren Garten, that useless fool, couldn't even handle such a simple task.

Adrian strode into the banquet hall without a backward glance.

Vincent Langley frowned at his daughter. "Isabella, no trouble tonight."

"Dad!" She stamped her foot. "It's all that bitch Evelyn's fault—"

"Enough!" Vincent hissed. "Important people are here. Don't embarrass me."

His daughter's ruthlessness sometimes unsettled even him.

Isabella bit her lip.

She wouldn't dirty her own hands, of course.

The best strategy was to let others do the work for her.

Ideally, she'd make Adrian destroy Evelyn himself.

"Dad, I know my limits." Lifting her skirt, she hurried after Adrian. "Wait for me!"

Vincent shook his head wearily.

That girl would never let go of Adrian Valentine.
