Raven glanced at her phone screen, then looked over at Isla with a faint, almost amused smile tugging at the
corners of her mouth.
For sreason, seeing that expression sent a chill down Isla's spine. A vague sense of unease crept up on her,
though she could not explain why.
Before Isla could say anything, Raven calmly tapped the screen to accept the call. Raven raised the phone to her
ear and said in a composed voice, "Hello, General,"
Both Isla and Carl froze, their faces overwhelmed with disbelief. ‘General? Did we hear that right?
There's no way a General would personally call someone from a second-tier family, right? they wondered.
Whatever the caller said next made Raven let out a soft laugh. "You already set everything up, didn't you? My
opinion? Doesn't really matter now. If | said no at this point, you'd be in a pretty awkward spot, right?"
There was another pause, then Raven's smile deepened. “Okay. That's very thoughtful of you. I got it. I'll be
there tonight."

On the other end of the line, Lorne finally let out a breath of relief after hearing Raven's response. He was about
to hang up when Raven suddenly stopped him. "Wait.
Her gaze shifted to Isla, who now looked more than a little suspicious. Then Raven said calmly, "Repeat what you
just said."
A strange tension instantly gripped Isla's heart. The next second, as if she suddenly understood something, she
let out a sharp laugh.

She clapped her hands together, her face twisted with sarcasm. "Wow. That was really something. You almost
had me. Good thing | know exactly what kind of trash you really are. Otherwise, even | might've been fooled."
She stared at Raven with a sneer. "You think answering srandom phone call is enough to convince us the
General invited you to tonight's party? Do you seriously believe everyone here is that stupid?"
But the moment Isla finished her sentence, Raven's entire presence shifted. The air around her seemed to
freeze.
Her voice, when she finally spoke, was like a blade of ice cutting through silence. "I told you to repeat what you
just said. Why all the whining?
"Didn't you just say that whoever invitedto the party should be kicked out of the military? Right?"
Isla involuntarily flinched. There was something terrifying in Raven's tone that made her instinctively take a step
back. But the humiliation of being spoken to like that, in front of everyone, quickly sent a wave of rage surging
through her.
'She's just ssecond-tier nobody, and she dares to talk down toin public? She thinks she can disrespect
Fueled by fury, Isla completely ignored Cassian and even her father.
Her voice rose with scorn as she snapped at Raven, "Who do you
around?"

you are? What gives you the right to order me
Raven glanced at her with barely concealed contempt, then calmly spoke into the phone, "It's Isla from the
Thornton family. Since she's a guest at tonight's event, | won't touch her for now, After the party, she's all yours."
On the other end, Lorne's face had gone completely cold. Isla had not repeated her words exactly, but based on

and boost Raven's status as Vyndenia's fourth General He had not decided which family yet.
But since Isla practically volunteered herself, the Thornton family would have to take the fall.
