Cassian had completely shattered Isla's heart.
Almost everyone in Regalhold's elite social circle had just witnessed him kissing a woman so far beneath their
class, it was scandalous. If Isla still insisted on being with him after that, it would be nothing short of humiliating
herself.
So, Isla had to choose Pierce. She had no other choice.
Not far away. Pierce had heard every word. For just a second, a flash of wild joy crossed his otherwise stern face.
Over the past six months, he had becincreasingly aware of how much of a threat Cassian posed to his
position.
Pierce had brought up the idea of marrying Isla to his father more than once, but each the was brushed off
with excuses about being too busy.
Pierce knew the truth. His father was grooming Cassian. Lately, Pierce had been on the verge of giving up the
fight.

But now Carl had openly expressed disappointment in Cassian. And Isla had just confessed her feelings for Pierce
in front of everyone. It all felt too good to be true.
Once he secured the Thornton family's support, Pierce would be locked in as the Lysander family's next heir.
And once word got out that Cassian had kissed slow-born woman in front of Regalhold's high society, no
other noble family would consider tying their daughter to a man with such poor judgment.
It meant Cassian would no longer be a threat. Pierce turned his head and glanced at Cassian. A slow, cold smile
crept across
his face.
Cassian had always been sharp, but now, at such a critical moment, he had blown it.
"Marrying a woman with the right background can change everything. Pierce thought. 'But Cassian just doesn't
get it. If he's willing to throw away his future for snobody, then he deserves to live with the consequences.
Pierce quickly suppressed the thrill rushing through him, then strode over to Isla's side with an expression of
concern. "Isla, are you alright?" he asked gently.
Isla slowly placed her hand on his arm, using it for support as she tried to stand. Pierce took her hand and helped
her to her feet.
The moment their skin touched, Isla felt a wave of disgust rise inside her.
But the sting of Cassian's betrayal still burned, and she forced the revulsion down.
She turned her head slightly and looked toward Doyle.
"Brigadier General Conrad," she said clearly, she snuck into the party with a fake invitation. Not only that, she
also spread lies claiming the General invited her personally, and even said he awarded her a medal. I've got
proof"
Isla handed her phone to Doyle, screen already open to the recording.
Doyle took the phone carefully, brows furrowed.
Then, Raven's voice played loud and clear, her conversation with Ruth from two hours ago.
As soon as the recording ended, the crowd's gaze toward Raven shifted entirely. Now, they looked at her like she
was already dead.

At the stime. Pierce glanced at Cassian again, this twith something doen in pity in his eyes
Cassian had good status, looks, and talent. And now, he had throw it all away because of a woman.
At that moment, Pierce knew Cassian had lost any chance of ever inheriting de Lysander family
With the way things had gone in the last six months, Coin showed how powerful and talented he was just

Too bad for Cassian, he had chosen a woman who brought absolutely nothing to the table, someone where would
