It might have sounded like she was speaking up for Serena, but the subtext was clear—Serena was ill-mannered, ignorant of etiquette, and completely disrespectful to her eldest brother.
Beneath his lenses, Julian's gentle eyes flickered. When he looked at Isabella, his gaze had cooled considerably.
But the warm smile remained on his lips. "It's fine. Rules are static, but people are not. Serena's work is important. Family is supposed to be supportive and understanding."
His tone was as gentle and calm as ever, but his words were a clear defense and show of understanding for Serena.
Isabella's smile froze on her face. Her fingers clenched, and a suffocating sense of frustration made her feel wronged.
How could even her eldest brother… act like this!
What kind of magic did that Serena possess?
She was fuming, but she knew that everyone in the Lancaster family was incredibly perceptive.
She had already displeased her grandfather once.
She didn't dare say anything more now.
Just then, Alfred, the butler, hurried over and said to Old Mr. Lancaster, "Sir, I believe I just saw a car from the Blackwood family parked at the main entrance."
"The Blackwood family?" Old Mr. Lancaster was a bit surprised.
Although the Lancaster and Blackwood families had a good relationship, and he and the old head of the Blackwood family were friends of many years, it was unlikely for them to visit the Lancaster estate late at night without prior notice.
Had something happened?
"The Blackwood family?!"
Isabella's eyes suddenly lit up, her heart pounding in her chest. She looked at Alfred with burning, hopeful eyes. "The Blackwoods? Was it Nicholas?"
Her voice was thick with an excitement she couldn't suppress. "Alfred, why didn't you say so sooner? Nicholas… I'll go meet him!"
