Wade was in a daze, but his daughter dragged him away forcefully. Belle asked, "Cut the cake? Everyone from our family has already left."

If they didn't leave now, they'd end up embarrassed too.

Thinking of Kennedy's stern scolding, Bella pulled her father harder.

James and Logan approached Isabelle and expressed their concern.

Danny stepped forward, blocking Isabelle from being seen. He declared, "She's fine; no need to worry. Mind your own business."

James glanced at Danny and mistook his hostility for jealousy. He thought Danny liked Isabelle and saw him as a love rival.

Danny had always wanted to meet Ethan, as his brother Isabelle frequently mentioned. James had beaten him to it, which made Danny hold a grudge. against him. James chimed in, "We're talking to Isabelle. What's it to you?"

Danny retorted, "None of your business."

Magnus came over and asked, concerned, "Isabelle, are you okay? My apologies for not hosting you properly."

Isabelle replied, "I'm fine."

Do I look like someone who is easily bullied?

Danny leaned in and asked, "Boss, you did something so noble."

Kennedy looked at his unruly grandson and scolded annoyingly, "What did you call her?"

"Grandpa, she's our school's top student, even better than James at math." Danny didn't dare mention her racing or fighting skills or her

acquaintance with Jim. He continued, "I see her as a role model. So, calling her my boss is totally fine, right?"

Kennedy snorted, "As long as you don't lead her astray, I have been grateful. You and studying, really."

His grandson probably has some crooked ideas about the girl.

Magnus laughed. "She's hard to lead astray. Isabelle is quite capable. Remember my illness? Oh, here comes Mr. Garth."

Magnus spotted Arlo among the crowd.

Although the Garths weren't a prominent family, Arlo's national and local reputation was on par with Magnus's.

Guests were astonished to see these bigwigs surrounding Isabelle. Each seemed more excited than seeing their own mothers. People began

speculating about her identity.

"Who is this girl? Are there any prominent Jenkins families in Taragon or Kingstead?"

"I thought she was just lucky to have old Mr. Holmes backing her, but now

Seeing Arlo's enthusiasm, Danny gave Isabelle a thumbs-up and praised, "You're amazing, boss!"

After learning she was acquainted with Jim, Danny and the others found it easier to accept her connection with Arlo.

Soon, Danny found himself struggling to accept the scene before him.

Both sides of the Magnus family took turns thanking Isabelle for saving Magnu. Isabelle was annoyed by all the chatter.

Fortunately, Magnus and his grandsons knew Isabelle disliked such. gatherings and stepped in to stop them. Danny suggested, "Isabelle, let's sit over there."

Isabelle nodded slightly and followed the Holmes siblings away.
