Chapter 2191


    Isabel stared back at Rnd before answering the phone.


    She immediately heard Amanda''s frantic voice, "Isabel, are you at a dinner party with Rnd right now?”


    Isabel cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Yeah, why?"


    "There are people sneaking pictures of you two together! You should get out of there as quickly as you can. They are posting


    pictures of you and Rnd online right now. Those ridiculous discussions that you managed to squashst week are back up on


    the trending charts again!"


    Isabel scowled.


    So, this was why rice texted her and hinted at her to bring Rnd here. This was the plot she had weaved the entire time.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    She answered with a brisk smile, "Don’t worry about a thing, Amanda. Something spicy ising upter tonight, so make sure


    you stay tuned."


    “Huh? What do you mean by that?"


    "You''ll find out soon enough.”


    Without bothering to borate, Isabel hung up.


    While Rnd was still in the middle of his phone call, he looked at Isabel with a look wrought with concern.


    Isabel could briefly make out his dialogue on the phone. It seemed like he was contacting Marcus to deal with the situation


    online. She did not interrupt him and shed a smile at him so that he would not worry.


    Shortly after that, Rnd wrapped up his call. He walked up to Isabel and took her hand. "Come, let’s go home."


    "| haven''t seen enough yet. Let’s stick around a bit longer."


    Rnd frowned, his voice suddenly dropping a pitch. "Isabel. If


    He wanted to take her home right now. He did not want them to be photographed by the paparazzi and for her to be continually


    harassed online.


    Isabel swept a look around the venue.


    She figured that most of the attendees must have caught up with thetest development online. A lot of them were scrolling on


    their phones and not so subtly casting nces at her the entire time.


    She tugged at Rnd and said in a soft, pleading voice, "At least, let me have another ss of wine before we go."


    Rnd gave in. "Okay."


    He handed her a ss of wine. "We''re leaving after you finish this.”


    "Sure." Isabel picked up the ss and took a gentle sip, then she reached for her phone and opened her social feed.


    Rnd immediately tensed up. He looked like he was going to take her phone away.


    Isabel turned around to shield her phone from him. It did not take long before she saw her name on the trending charts. Most of


    what people were saying about her was the same as thest time.


    However, there was certainly something new as she read a certainment.


    "| heard that Rockwell Corporation''s stock prices are very unstable right now. | can’t believe Master Rnd hasn''t dumped her


    yet even when things are looking this bad. Is this what you would call puppy love?”


    Many people chimed in.


    "She''s a seductress."


    “How vile. She''s the one who put them in this position and she’s stilltching onto him."


    "The Rockwell young master sure is something alright. | can''t believe he would choose her over his family''s business empire."


    Thesements were rtively tame.


    Some people were more aggressive and bombarded her with private messages orments in her older posts. They said


    vicious things about her without pulling any punches.


    They used her of being a shameless woman. How dare she even have the audacity to have Rnd bring her to such a


    venue?!


    They said that she was cunning as they came and joked that she must have received professional training from a scammers’


    organization.


    Even her nemesis Isabe piled in on her as if she was worried that Isabel would forget about her amidst all that was happening,


    "Isabel, say bye-bye to those leading roles and endorsements you were banking on. They''re all mine now. Good luck...”


    Although Isabel was already mentally prepared, reading everything people said about her still made her feel a certain way. She


    clenched the wine ss tightly and finished its contents in one swig.


    Immediately afterward, Rnd took her wrist and beckoned softly. "Alright, let''s go home."


    In one brisk motion, he snatched away the phone in her hand while she was not paying attention.


    She did a double-take.


    Before she managed toe up with an excuse to buy some more time, the rtives of the Rockwells who were just suckering


    up to Master Rockwell moments ago began approaching her.


    They wore sly looks in their eyes. In a single nce, she could tell that they did not have good intentions.
