Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 625

Isabella's eyes were filled with a mix of envy and awe. "I've always looked up to the legendary designer Queen as my absolute idol. I wanted to lead Aurevion Jewelers just to follow in her footsteps. I never imagined that the idol I worshipped most would turn out to be my own sister."

"She really is... so incredible," she added softly.

As she spoke, her expression carried a look of genuine admiration, carefully laced with a fragile, pitiful sense of loneliness.

Hearing her shower Serena with such seemingly heartfelt praise softened the expressions of her parents.

Catherine patted her hand. "Serena is indeed exceptionally talented, but you don't need to put yourself down."

Edward studied Isabella in silence for a long moment before speaking. "When making friends or negotiating deals in the future, keep your wits about you. Don't let your own cleverness trip you up."

Those words nearly caused Isabella's carefully maintained expression to crack.

She couldn't shake the feeling...

Her father seemed to know something.

He just hadn't spelled it out.

Isabella tightly gripped her fingers, forcing a sweet smile as she obediently nodded.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so go upstairs and get some sleep. Don't stay up late with us," Catherine instructed. "Your grandparents have been calling nonstop, asking when you'll visit. The flight path is already approved. You and Serena will fly out to the United Realmon States tomorrow to see them. You need to be well-rested, or it will break their hearts to see you looking so pale."

Isabella's eyes flickered, but she quickly masked it with a soft, obedient smile. "I know. I'd hate to make them worry about me..."

Right at that moment, a noise echoed from the entryway.

Serena was back.

Catherine instantly sprang to her feet and hurried over to greet her. "Serena, you're back! Are you tired? Hungry? Should Mom make you a late-night snack?"
