Diana knew this was not her usual style of dressing. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but her mother demanded that she wear it, saying this was how a lady should dress. When Diana looked up, she saw Isaac smiling at her from a corner of the ballroom.Her expression changed instantly, and she glared at Isaac. Then, the crowd engulfed her.Everyone’s attention was on Diana. Old Taylor and Phillip came in after her. They looked around and came forward to greet Isaac as soon as they found him.“Mr. Garten, you’re so early. Thanks for coming!” Old Taylor chuckled.“You’re being too kind. Please go ahead if you’re busy. I’ll help myself.” Isaac waved his hands.At this moment, Old Taylor frowned and whispered, “Mr. Garten, Ana is a headstrong girl. I heard she found someone to embarrass you today. If anything happens, please don’t worry, as I’ll sort it out.” Old Taylor knew his granddaughter had prejudice toward Isaac, but he did not expect her to invite Southern Gianva’s top warrio

“Haha! Ana is right. Get off the stage if you admit you’re a coward.” Charles felt like this was his big moment.He was worried that Isaac would leave the banquet earlier. Thus, he brought Xavier and rushed here without waiting for his father and Uncle Wyatt.He wanted to make Isaac pay for humiliating him previously.Isaac sized up Xavier. He could feel the spiritual energy emitting from this man and was considering whether or not to start a fight.“Young man, get off the stage. Stop this circus now. You’re not a match for Mr. Quinn.” Albert waved at Isaac.Albert was quite friendly. He could sense that Charles was emotionally unstable. He still had an important announcement to make after all the Owens family members arrived, which was his decision to accept the Owens family’s proposal to his daughter.He had already discussed this issue with Charles’ father yesterday when he went to Aurum County.At this moment, Shawn got up from his seat and went up the stage.“I’d like to s

“What’s the meaning of this, Garten? Why do you have to pick a fight with me today?” Charles pointed at Isaac.Everyone looked at Isaac in disgust.Charles Owens was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. How foolish could the likes of this man be to confront Charles directly?Finn was exhilarated. “Ana, your crush has some guts for sure. Fascinating!”Albert was frowning too. He was about to say something when a few people entered the ballroom.A graceful couple, Warwick Owens and his wife, waltzed into the room. Wyatt and a few bodyguards walked alongside Warwick.“Father! Uncle Wyatt!” Charles was exuberant to see the newcomers. He ran down the stage.Albert smiled and followed Charles.“Haha! Warwick, Wyatt, what a pleasure to receive you and your family at my daughter’s birthday banquet,” Albert and his wife greeted the Owens.Diana greeted them immediately, “Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Owens!”“Gracious, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Ana has grown into a beautifu

It was only a brief peck, but everyone was shocked. Old Taylor even sprung up from his seat in shock.“Ana, what are you doing? How shameful!” Albert was the first to react. He dashed to Diana’s side and pulled her back.Diana came back to her senses and realized what she had done. Her cheeks were fiery red. She knew she should not do that in front of all these people and allowed her father to drag her away.Warwick and the rest of the Owens family looked angry, Charles especially. He felt betrayed.“Bastard, what rubbish! It is just a toy!” He dashed toward Diana in anger and reached out to grab the sword.Diana dodged and yelled at Charles, “I love it even if it’s just a toy! It’s none of your business!”“Ana, stop it. Give that broken sword to Charlie. You’re a lady; why are you toying around with a sword? Furthermore, the proposal gifts Charlie prepared for you are worth way more than this fake sword, aren’t they?” Albert noticed Warwick’s darkened face and scolded Diana imme

Diana’s hand flew to her mouth in shock.Albert and his wife froze in their steps.“Bastard, how dare you hit my brother! I must kill you today!” Wyatt saw Isaac slapping his elder brother. He strode angrily toward Isaac.“Scram!”Isaac dashed toward Wyatt and slapped him too.Wyatt’s body was more than a hundred pounds, yet Isaac sent him flying.The ballroom was dead silent. Everyone looked at Isaac in shock.“Showing off, huh? So what if you’re the commander of a troop of 50 thousand soldiers? The sword is mine. How dare you snatch it away when I refuse to show it to you?” Isaac looked at Warwick coldly.“I’ll beat you to a pulp, Garten!” Charles could not contain his anger after seeing his father’s state. He screamed as he waved his fists at Isaac. However, Warwick held onto him. Blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Warwick glared at Isaac, and he was greatly alarmed.Warwick was skilled in martial arts, yet he could not see through Isaac’s moves.He must protect
