Isabella’s gaze swept the room before settling on Gilbert. “Gilbert, when we were together, who was really helping whom?” she asked calmly. Gilbert tensed, memories of how Isabella had quietly supported him when he first joined the family business rushing back. But under the scrutiny of their former classmates, he couldn’t admit that. “Isabella, I…

“Isabella, how dare you treat me like this?” Asher seethed, rubbing his sore hand. “You should be grateful I’m interested in you.

Didn’t you know?” “Oh,” Andrew replied nonchalantly. “You are amazing.” Evie was stunned into silence. How incredibly dismissive! She felt a jolt of irritation rising within her. As Isabella neared, Andrew’s demeanor shifted. The icy…
