Chapter 219: Chapter 231: Exchange of Venue (8)

Elijah Smith glanced at the time, with only three minutes left, without a second thought, he asked for Charlotte Green’s address and headed in her direction.

At 8:28 pm, Isabel Smith returned to the party scene from the restroom.

Isabel held her wine glass and only took a few steps before the time jumped to 8:29 pm.

The music at the open-air banquet became louder, and the surrounding colored lights started to flash more intensely.

At this time, the guests who greeted each other gradually fell silent.

At the very moment of 8:30 pm, the guests naturally gathered around the dance floor. The deafening music suddenly stopped, and Isabel gracefully walked to the center of the dance floor.

However, after she stood still, the protagonist of tonight’s birthday banquet, Elijah Smith, did not appear.

Isabel elegantly stood in the center of the dance floor, with a delicate and appropriate smile on the corners of her lips, looking like a work of art with her bright eyes and pearly whites. She showed no sign of anxiety and unease, but only scanned the crowd to find Elijah Smith.

However, as Isabel’s gaze circled the people around the dance floor, she still couldn’t see Elijah Smith. Her face remained expressionless, but anxiety emerged in her heart.

Above the villa’s open-air lawn, the crowd waiting for the opening dance of the birthday banquet was still quiet.

The surrounding neon-colored lights kept flashing, reflecting a bizarre and bustling scene on the guests’ colorful dresses.

As the time ticked by, the elegant smile on Isabel’s delicate face began to stiffen slightly at the corners of her lips.

Where on earth did Elijah Smith go?

At this birthday banquet, with so many people present, would he really leave her alone like this?

Isabel’s hand clenched silently, her eyes radiated a hint of coldness, but her smile on her face seemed to be even more dazzling.

Under the stage of the dance floor, some people were gradually realizing that the male protagonist of tonight’s opening dance had yet to take the stage, and the atmosphere began to get slightly restless.

Mrs. Smith stood right in front of the dance floor, with her face turning a bit sour. She turned to her second son, Sebastian Smith, lowering her voice, and asked with a displeased tone, "Where’s Elijah?"

"Mum, I’ll call him right now." Sebastian replied in a low voice, then turned around and quietly walked away from the crowd.

Meanwhile, the people around started whispering to each other.

"Why is there no male partner for the opening dance?"

"Usually, it’s the birthday star, where’s the Smith family’s young master? Why isn’t he here?"

"He can’t really abandon his female partner on the stage like this, it’s so embarrassing..."

"Generally, the twenty-year-old dance partner is a very important one. Could it be that the Smith’s young master was not satisfied with her and left temporarily?"

...

The whispers grew louder, and although Isabel, standing in the center of the stage, couldn’t hear them very clearly, she could see the various expressions on the faces of those around her.

There were sympathetic gazes, those who were ready to watch the drama unfold, and the indifferent gazes of those who felt it didn’t concern them...

Since childhood, Isabel had always been surrounded by praise and admiration from others. Never had she allowed herself to appear embarrassed in front of people. Even when she returned to Smith Corporation’s wine party and Elijah had hurt her foot, she still maintained her elegance and pretended as if nothing had happened. But now, she was left on stage by Elijah, causing such a huge joke!

Deep down, Isabel felt a growing rage, and she felt that the surrounding gazes were extremely irritating!
