Yelzog was dressed in a sharply pressed suit coupled with leather shoes. Even his hairstyle was


    trendy. He and Isaac were like pr opposites


    ‘Urgh, I just don’t get it. They’re almost the same age! Why is there such a striking difference? God,


    this is so embarrassing,‘ Isadora thought to herself.


    Hearing his daughter’s words, Isaac nced at Isadora, obviously displeased. He scoffed. “What do


    you mean by that? Am I embarrassing you? I’m telling you, nobody in this room has the guts to


    make fun of me!”


    Isaac was known as the Lord of Henley. He was sometimes referred to as Lord Isaac of the Nine


    States.


    He became one of the top businessmen in Henley after graduating at the age of 21.


    At the age of 40, he expanded his business and was now the main yer in the business sector in


    all nine states of Henley.


    For that reason, even the Ten Families in Capiton treated him with respect.


    “Arthur, why don’t you take them to their seats? I need to attend to other guests.”


    Harold smiled warmly at Yelzog and said, “I’ll be taking my leave now, Mr. nco. I have other


    guests to attend to. I hope you’ll enjoy the party!”


    Yelzog returned his smile and said, “Sure. Thanks for the hospitality!”


    Arthur gestured to the nearby tables and said, “This way!”


    Harold then walked up to Isaac and greeted, “Isaac Sloan! Long time no see!”


    Taking off his sunsses, Isaac shed Harold a smile and said, “It’s been a long time indeed. How’s it


    going?”


    Gazing at Isadora, a smile slowly formed on Harold’s face. “I assume she’s your daughter?”


    Harold had sessfully set Arthur up with Rose. He believed a marriage was on the way.


    Driven by the lust for power, Harold reckoned the Freemans would gain even more social influence if


    he was able to set up another arranged marriage with the Sloans.


    Isaac cursed Harold silently upon sensing his ulterior motive. Keeping a polished smile stered on his


    face, he said, “Yeah, she is. Isadora, where are your manners? Hurry up and greet Mr. Freeman!”


    Isadora kept her voice devoid of emotion as she said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Freeman.”


    Hearing her response, Issac’s face fell as he questioned, “What’s with that attitude?”


    Inwardly, he was thinking, “What is she thinking?! We’re in Xanthalos, not Henley City, for Christ’s sake!


    I know she doesn’t like the Freemans, but can’t she at least put on a smile? Urgh. Even I’m


    putting on a front. Can’t she be a bit more cooperative?‘


    However, Harold was not offended by Isadora as he had already regarded her as his grandaughter- in–


    law. Instead, heughed and said, “It’s okay, Mr. Sloan. As a matter of fact, I find her personality


    quite refreshing!”


    With a wave of his hand, Harold gestured for Hershel toe over. He asked, “Why don’t you take


    them to their seats, Hershel? Table 3!”


    Hershel was Thames‘ grandson.


    He had reached the great–grandmaster realm at the age of 28.


    He was wearing a tailcoat and cks, and his hair was neatlybed back, giving off a ssy


    vibe.


    While one might argue that he did not look handsome, he was no doubt better–looking than most of the


    other guys.


    Hershel walked toward them, bent slightly with a hand on his chest, and said, “Nice to meet you,


    Mr. Sloan. Please, allow me to take you to your seats.”


    Isadora was disgusted at his behavior.


    ‘What kind of etiquette is this?! Who still does this nowadays?!‘ she thought.


    Taking her seat, Rose nced at her from the next table and sneered, “Like father, like daughter.


    What’s with that outfit? This is such an important asion. At least wear a proper


    dress!”


    Stunned at the suddenment, Isadora turned and gave Rose a quick scan from head to toe.


    She then sneered, “I was wondering who was making such petty remarks. Turns out it’s the CEO


    of Amazon Group.


    “Didn’t yourpany nearly go bankrupt after losing like what, 50 billion dorsst year? I just don’t


    get it. Mr. nco is such a decent man. How did his daughter end up like this? Are you sure


    he’s your father?”


    A hint of anger shed across Rose’s eyes as she said, “It’s only 50 billion dors. I’ve been the


    CEO of Amazon Group since I was 19.
