Chapter 854

• To the public, Isabella had always been the embodiment of grace and kindness. She had never spoken ill of anyone—until now. For the first time, she openly admitted her dislike for someone, and that person happened to be Joan, the woman caught in a plagiarism scandal.
• As the audience speculated about her sudden change in demeanor, Isabella let out a small, regretful sigh. “I don’t usually speak about others, especially in public, but since I was asked today, I won’t hide my feelings. It’s not the plagiarism that made me dislike her—it’s what she did to my friend.”
• Her words carried a weight that instantly drew everyone's attention.
