That didn’t stop her from showing off.

Right now, Marcelo and Maxwell had been pulled away by their friends and business partners to talk and have drinks somewhere else.

But Isabel stayed behind. Marcelo had asked her to hang out with Gianna, letting Isabel join in with her friends.

Basically, he was treating Isabel like she was going to be part of the Nygrads someday.

Gianna pretended to play along, but as soon as Marcelo and the others left, she stopped feigning interest in this future sister–in–law.

She had planned to leave Isabel aside and brush her off with a few casual words. But surprisingly, Isabel was actually quite popular among the group.

“Isabel, you have such amazing vibes. No wonder you’re a dancer–you really stand out.”

“Congrats on becoming the lead dancer of the Serenade Troupe. You totally earned it.”

“Ms. Bluefield really shows the elegance of the Bluefields. Every move she makes is full of style.”

Everyone already knew that the Bluefields were going to marry into the Nygards. If nothing went wrong, Isabel was going to become the eldest daughter–in–law of the Nygards.

Marcelo was the eldest son and future heir of the Nygards. If all went as expected, he would be the next chairman.

So all the smart, sharp people were trying to get on her good side.

But Isabel didn’t really react to their attention. She stayed calm, like she wasn’t used to all this social attention.

She just loved dancing and wanted to focus on her career. She didn’t care about all the social drama around her.

Gianna bit her lip, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger.

She had always been the center of attention here, but now Isabel was stealing the spotlight.

Seeing Isabel act so composed made Gianna feel like she was just showing off.

She already didn’t like her, and now she hated her even more.

She didn’t say a word, just gave a sharp look to her close friend next to her.

Her friend understood immediately, cleared her throat, and said, “So what if she can dance? It’s not that big a deal. Gianna can dance just as well. She just doesn’t want to show off.

“Titles like ‘lead dancer‘ are just for show. If you have money, you can get anything.

“We’re all part of this circle. We know how things work. Nothing special about it.”

Once one person spoke up, the others joined in too.

Isabel tried to talk to Marcelo about it quietly, but he wouldn’t listen.
