“I’m the host tonight. You’re just here to join in the fun. I’ll be the first to pick a wife.”

“How can you do that?” Zachary protested. “Cedric, before I came, you said that I could do whatever I wanted.”

Cedric directly nudged Zachary. “I don’t remember it.”

Zachary was speechless, but Isabella laughed out loud.

Zachary saw that Cedric refused to let go of Isabella and refused to let go. He went to the bar to drink and pondered how to lure Isabella back later. Jayden arrived late.

“What’s wrong with you? The woman you like ran away with someone else?” Jayden picked up a glass of juice and gulped it down.

When Zachary saw Jayden, he sighed. “You are right. I want to get Isabella into bed.”

...

.....

“Isabella?” Jayden was choked on her juice.

“Look, she is dancing with Cedric.” Zachary raised his charming eyes. “Why am I so unlucky? Every time I try to seduce Isabella, either Joseph or Cedric supports her. I’m so depressed.”

“Damn it!”

“I bet that Cedric will marry Isabella.” Jayden hurriedly picked up her phone and took a picture of the scene.

“What?”

Zachary said in disbelief, “It can’t be. Isabella is indeed beautiful, but think about her father. Isabella is just a social butterfly. Cedric may play her. Forget about him marrying Isabella.”

“How about betting one million?”

Jayden smiled.

“Fine. Why are you here so late tonight?”

“I was helping Joseph check surveillance videos. His girlfriend ran away from home because of Stella’s return. Joseph is anxious now.”

“Haven’t Joseph found his girlfriend?”

Zachary propped up his chin. “I heard some news earlier. I was wondering why Joseph didn’t come tonight. But what is his girlfriend up to? She should return after venting her anger. She is playing with fire. Joseph doesn’t like being threatened.”

“That woman can control Joseph and dares to stand him up, she is not an ordinary woman.”

Jayden carefully took a few photos of Cedric and Isabella in the middle of the field and said with a smile, “I’ll have one million.”

...

In the Globe Building...

Gerry opened his bloodshot eyes and entered the president’s office. “Mr. Joseph, West City District is quite chaotic. Many of the surveillance cameras on the roads have been damaged by hooligans. Now, we can only filter them from the outside. We can confirm that 13 black Benz cars entered and exited West City District that night. Nine of them concentrated near Miss Ghost.”

“Nine? So many.”

Joseph took the photo and looked at it carefully. “Check the ownership of these nine cars. Isabella is likely in one of them.”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Joseph, why don’t you take a break while we’re screening? You haven’t slept for two days and one night,” Gerry said as he sized Joseph up.

“It’s fine. The result is coming out soon...”

Joseph pinched the bridge of his nose. “How’s grandpa?”

“He’s okay. I asked William to tell Charlie that Miss Isabella did not want to come back in a fit of temper. I did not tell him such a serious situation.”

“Keep hiding it. I won’t be back for the next few days. Just Tell grandpa that I’m looking for Isabella. I don’t want him to see me through.”

“Yes.”

“Bring me another cup of coffee.”

“Yes.”

After Gerry left, Joseph was lost in his thought. “Isabella, where are you? No matter what, don’t let anything happen to you...”

Joseph took out his phone and flipped through the main page of Isabella’s Weibo, hoping to find traces of Isabella from the clues on it.

Jayden’s notification popped up on Joseph’s main page, indicating that Jayden posted something new.

Joseph wanted to ignore it directly. But to his surprise, he was greatly shocked after looking at the picture.

Joseph enlarged the picture. In the photo, Cedric and Isabella were dancing. In an enchanting red dress, Isabella had a charming smile!

It said, “I bet 1 million that Cedric will marry this beauty within three months. Come on, babies.”

...

The second song of the ball began. Isabella did not want to dance with Cedric. Although she understood that Cedric was helping her out, she felt that this would delay his business.

According to the introduction on the invitation letter, tonight’s ball would last for three hours, and there would be a total of fifteen songs. The host, Cedric, would participate in nine of them.

It included the first three, the middle three, and the final three songs.

The nine women chosen by Cedric were usually the ones he was interested in. Meanwhile, it also showed his courtesy to the women present.

Isabella had taken up a spot and did not want to waste other women’s spots. After all, Cedric came here for business tonight. Isabella could not obstruct Cedric’s selection of a wife.

Everyone dispersed and began the second round of selection. A beautiful and dignified lady came over to invite Cedric. Isabella took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and bowed to Cedric.

“Isabella...” Cedric said worriedly.

“It’s okay, Cedric.”

“What happened just now won’t happen again. Since you’ve already helped me out, I won’t feel embarrassed anymore,” replied Isabella.

It just so happened that a man invited Isabella. Isabella put her hand into the man’s hand and smiled sweetly. She accepted the man’s invitation.

Cedric’s expression immediately became terrible.

“Jayden, you’re going to lose one million!”

When Zachary saw that Isabella and Cedric separated, he excitedly jumped up from the bar counter. “They won’t dance together in the second round! I want to get Isabella back!”

Jayden patted Zachary’s arm. “You’d better not. Don’t you see Cedric’s expression?”

“Forget it. Do you think Cedric is as reserved as us?” Zachary touched his eyes with raccoon makeup and said proudly, “Cedric has many women. It’s easy for him to get one. If he likes Isabella, do you think he is willing to let go? I’m going!”

At the end of the second song, Zachary finally caught Isabella.

Isabella stared at Zachary, who looked funny in a red tie and a red suit. After thinking for a moment, she put her hand into Zachary’s hand.

...

“Isabella, you are naughty. You’ve been whetting my appetite,” Zachary said happily.

“No. I have no interest in you at all,” Isabella returned directly.

“Why?”

“Because I hate men dressed like lanterns.” Isabella grabbed Zachary’s suit. “Don’t you feel that we are like two dancing lanterns?”
