Isabella glanced down at the thermos in her arms, her fingers tightening around it.
Inside was a soup made with the EverVita Essence developed by the Ghost Doctor!
If she mentioned the Ghost Doctor, Nicholas would surely accept it.
And he would see how dedicated she was, how much effort she put in for Old Mr. Blackwood's sake!
With this thought, Isabella clutched the thermos and prepared to step forward.
But she had barely taken a step when she saw Nicholas, after getting out of the car, walk around the front to the passenger side and open the door.
He made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, placing his right hand over his heart and bowing slightly before extending a hand toward the passenger seat.
The gesture was so gentle it was breathtaking.
Isabella froze, her pupils constricting violently as she stared.
The person in the passenger seat... was that the distinguished guest Patton mentioned?
That gesture...
That was how you invited a woman out of a car!
The guest was a woman?!
As if to confirm Isabella's suspicion, a slender, pale hand gently placed itself in Nicholas's palm.
Next, a foot in a simple white sneaker stepped onto the ground.
Her legs were long and slender.
The person getting out was, indeed, a woman.
She was dressed in a simple white t-shirt and pants, her waterfall of long hair tied back in a high ponytail, revealing a strikingly beautiful face that wore no makeup.
The golden sunlight cascaded down, outlining the girl's vivid features and giving her a cool, crisp aura.
It was her?
That country girl they brought back from some village was Old Mr. Blackwood's distinguished guest?!
Serena was the reason for this grand display, this huge commotion, this personal welcome from Old Mr. Blackwood himself?!
Did Serena even deserve it?
Isabella was trembling with anger, nearly mad with jealousy.
Why?!
Even when Old Mr. Blackwood had been fond of her, he had never put on such a display for her!
He had never personally come to the main gate to welcome her!
But now, on Serena's very first visit, she received this kind of treatment, which was proof enough of how highly Old Mr. Blackwood regarded her!
