Chapter 89
Raven paused, a chilling aura emanating from her.
Before she could react, Cassian and Ruth emerged from a VIP room within the sales office.
Isla’s expression shifted to one of disdain upon seeing them with Raven.

“Of course. What else would this nobody from some backwater family be doing here?‘ Isla thought. ‘She’s probably Begging Cassian to buy her a house! Isla scoffed internally. ‘She should just accept her place instead of chasing after things, and men, out of her reach.
“Cassian Lysander?” Carl questioned, spotting Cassian.
“Dad, what is it?” Isla asked, confused. She hadn’t realized her father knew Cassian.
Carl turned his attention back to his daughter, explaining, “Your Uncle Edric has two sons. One is Pierce, who I think would be a great match for you. The other is Cassian, who rarely makes public appearances.”
Isla was stunned. “Cassian is Uncle Edric’s other son?”
When she first met Cassian four months ago, she sensed something extraordinary about him. Despite her numerous attempts to uncover his background, she found nothing.
She never imagined he was the supposedly useless and sheltered younger son of the Lysander family.
Before Isla could dwell on it, Carl nodded. “Yes! He used to be a complete write–off, hidden away by the family to avoid embarrassment. But about six months ago, there was an incident. After that, Cassian became a completely different person.”
“Judging by your reaction, it seems you two haven’t met before, despite both attending Regalhold University.”
“I was planning to introduce you two after tonight’s banquet. I wanted you to meet both Pierce and Cassian before deciding who you’d prefer to marry. But it seems fate has brought you together sooner.”
Isla’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Was this the universe’s way of intervening, preventing Cassian from being with that nobody?
She’d been stressing over her father’s impending decision about her marriage.
She never expected one of the potential candidates to be Cassian.
This was an incredibly pleasant surprise.
Suppressing her excitement, Isla asked, “Dad, what do you think of Cassian?”
Carl pondered for a moment before responding, “Six months ago, Cassian was a lost cause. But now… ” He paused.
Then, he stated firmly, “His potential is limitless.”
Isla had hoped for a relatively positive assessment of Cassian from her father. She never expected such high praise.
Her initial eighty percent chance of her father approving of her being with Cassian had just skyrocketed to one hundred percent.
“Dad, there’s something I want to tell you,” istá said eagerly.
Carl, usually stern, smiled slightly. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him at first sight?”
Isla blushed slightly but nodded. “Yes.“/
