Chapter 458 The Gift From Seth

“So, Ariana is still single. It seems like it’s already decided,” several noble ladies joked. Ariana maintained a composed expression as she neither confirmed nor denied their remarks.

Mandy pulled Isabella to sit down on the side and whispered, “She’s really shameless. The Shaffer and the Flowers Families are planning a marriage alliance. Even if others don’t know, how could she not?”

Isabella tugged at the corner of her mouth as she smiled without uttering a word.

As the surrounding people engaged in discussion, the door of the lounge swung op Courtney and Bloom entered, accompanied by several affluent young ladies who were familiar to Isabella.

Most notably, Bloom was also wearing a gemstone necklace, evidently cut from the same stone.

A perceptive individual noticed and inquired about the necklace’s origin.

“That stingy Seth; he wouldn't even give me a whole stone. He made me bid for it myself,”

She took a sip of her drink as she complained about Seth in front of everyone. Then, she turned her head and noticed that Ariana also had a necklace. Without thinking, she remarked, “Did you buy one too?”

Pfft. Isabella couldn’t help but laugh, and the people around her also smiled with saying a word.

Agroup of people had been praising Ariana for receiving a gemstone as a gift, but it turned out she had purchased it herself.

Ariana still wore a smile on her face, but the light in her eyes had noticeably dimmed. Bloom, as carefree as ever, didn’t pay much attention and continued, “You must have gotten an employee discount, right? That guy Seth... | asked him for a discount, and he actually told me to try being an employee of the Shaffer Group!”

Isabella burst into laughter. It wasn’t surprising; it was indeed Seth’s style.

However, Bloom was too straightforward and failed to notice the expressions of the people around her, nor did she notice Ariana’s embarrassment.

The group of women surrounding Ariana dispersed in disappointment as they whispered and laughed.

“Miss Symons’ bracelet looks like it's made of sapphire,” someone mentioned casua Isabella didn’t have time to cover it up, and everyone around had already turned their 3/6

“Miss Symons, did you buy this?”

“Gems under one carat are not very valuable. Miss Symons, the gems on your bracelet are all less than fifty points, right?”

People around laughed, and some whispered. They were implying that Isabella was naive and lacked knowledge even when buying gemstones.

Ariana stood on the side, and her face was always adorned with a faint smile.

Isabella sipped her tea without saying a word and chose not to respond. These

ladies were simply bored. Taking them seriously would be pointless

Unfortunately, she didn’t explain, but someone insisted on speaking.

Bloom leaned over and grabbed her hand, saying, “This must be scrap material, right? Isabella’s mouth twitched. This girl was so straightforward it startled her.

“But there aren't such small scraps at the auction. | didn’t see any.”

Courtney patted her shoulder. “Fool, you bought yours. Of course you wouldn't see it.

Hers was given.” Bloom blinked. “By Seth?!” Isabella was speechless. Please, keep your voice down.

Bloom didn't hear Isabella’s inner voice and continued to complain, “I thought that

stingy guy had sold all the powder that fell off, | didn’t expect him to give it away.”

She kept clicking her tongue as she leaned close to Isabella and talked non-stop.

Isabella was overwhelmed; she saw the scrutinizing gazes from the circle of affluent Hadies around her, and she knew what they were thinking without having to guess. She couldn't be bothered to explain and only occasionally responded to Bloom’s words.

Suddenly, the door of the lounge swung open.
