Finally, the wedding day of Leon, Alegra’s heir, arrived. Everyone had been busy for several days before, and it culminated this morning. The mansion was filled with the hustle and bustle of preparations, making everyone’s hearts pound with excitent.
The usually quiet main mansion was suddenly bustling with excitent as many extended family mbers arrived to stay overnight before heading to the church for the wedding blessing and then to a five-star hotel for a short rest before the reception. Servants rushed about carrying various necessities, while guests from various cities were busy greeting each other warmly.
"Aunt Clara! Long ti no see!" one of her nieces greeted her aunt warmly.
"Oh, you’ve grown so much! Last ti I saw you, you were just a little girl," her aunt replied with a broad smile.
Inside her room, Isabella was dressed in the sa attire as the rest of the family: gold and white for the blessing, gold and red for the reception. She stood in front of the mirror, checking her appearance once again, making sure everything was perfect for her sister’s big day.
"Hopefully today goes well for Brother Leon," she muttered, smiling faintly at her reflection in the mirror.
After tidying up the things she was about to take with her, Isabella, who was about to leave the room, stopped in her tracks when a transparent hologram screen appeared in front of her and the system’s loud beeping sounded in her ears.
[DING!!!]
[A special mission has been triggered:
Rescue a woman nad Liana Carloth and uncover Lusi Bria’s mask.
Reward: a private island in country Y]
[ACCEPT] [REJECT]
Isabella frowned deeply when she saw that the woman she needed to save was her future sister-in-law, who was getting married to her brother today. Her heart imdiately pounded, and an uneasy feeling began to creep into her chest.
"Did this happen at my brother’s wedding?" Isabella asked inquisitively in a wary tone. Her fists clenched, indicating her anxiety.
[Yes, Host..]
After hearing the system’s response, Isabella quickly pressed the [ACCEPT] button, and the mission tir began. A countdown tir appeared in the corner of the hologram screen, adding further pressure to the already tense situation.
Isabella decided against leaving the room and started her laptop, trying to find detailed information about her brother-in-law and the woman nad Lusi Bria. Her fingers moved quickly across the keyboard, her eyes focused on every piece of information that appeared on the screen.
"I have to hurry. I don’t have much ti," she whispered to herself as she continued typing at a furious pace.
After all, the target of this problem was a future mber of the Alegra family, so she couldn’t simply ignore the danger threatening her. This wasn’t just about completing the mission, but about protecting her own family.
Fortunately, the system issued a mission, making her wary of several individuals who might threaten her family’s safety and happiness. "At least I can prepare," she muttered again as she continued searching for data.
As her fingers danced across the keyboard, Isabella glanced at the clock on the wall several tis, afraid she would be late for her brother’s wedding. "Damn, ti is ticking. I have to hurry!" she cursed in frustration.
Drttt....
All the data Isabella needed had been obtained and summarized in detail on the monitor in front of her. Photos, resus, even dical and psychological records were all available in full thanks to her expert hacking skills.
"Oh, so this Lusi is her brother-in-law’s freaky best friend? Wow... what a plot twist! Interesting, because besides targeting my brother-in-law, she also targeted my brother and my fiancé at the sa ti. How bold of her!" Isabella said with a lopsided smile as she read the details of Lusi’s evil plan. "This woman is truly shaless."
Lusi Bria was Liana’s closest friend, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, sweet on the face but stabbing in the back, utterly shaless! From the data Isabella had read, Lusi had tried to steal Liana’s previous boyfriends many tis, but always failed because those n preferred the sincere Liana.
And now, this woman was targeting her brother and his fiancé—a very ambitious and quite dangerous one. "Who does he think he is? How dare he target the people I care about," Isabella hissed coldly and threateningly.
With the information she needed, Isabella quickly left the room, as Morgan would be arriving at the mansion soon. She quickly closed her laptop, grabbed her small bag, and hurried out with brisk yet elegant steps.
"Looks like your brother’s wedding will be a bit lively tonight," Isabella said with a grin as she confidently walked down the stairs. Her faint smile held a secret that only she and the system knew.
***
As soon as she reached the ground floor, Morgan, who was about to enter the mansion, was stunned by Isabella’s beauty. If this weren’t his future brother-in-law’s wedding, he would have locked her in his room, not wanting his fiancée’s beauty to be seen by so many people.
"Oh my God, why does she have to be so beautiful today?" Morgan thought in frustration as he watched Isabella walk towards him gracefully.
Isabella, able to hear Morgan’s inner voice, took a step forward and gently kissed his right cheek, making his face instantly flush red. Several servants watching the sweet scene smiled amusedly.
"Let’s go, we’re going to be late," Isabella reminded him, gazing seductively into Morgan’s eyes. "Or are you going to just stand here staring at ?"
Morgan, who had just snapped out of his reverie, imdiately opened the car door for his fiancée and held the top of the door to prevent Isabella from hitting her head before following her into the passenger seat. "Sorry, I was too srized," he said with a shy smile.
"I know. I could hear it," Isabella replied teasingly, making Morgan’s face even redder.
Once they were both in the car, the driver imdiately sped away from the Alegra family’s compound and headed for the church where Leon and Liana were being married.
"Bella, you seem a little tense. What’s wrong?" Morgan asked, gently holding his fiancée’s hand.
"It’s okay. I’m just... a little worried about today’s event," Isabella replied with a faint smile, unable to tell Morgan about her mission.
Upon arrival, the two imdiately attracted everyone’s attention, who couldn’t take their eyes off their captivating appearance. Whispers of admiration could be heard from all directions.
"Look, it’s the couple who got engaged so ti ago!"
"They look so good together. Like a couple from a Hollywood movie!"
Accustod to such intense attention, Morgan and Isabella remained calm and quickly joined their imdiate family, waiting for the sacred ceremony to begin.
Isabella stood beside her second sister, Liora, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught the figure of the woman she had seen in profile earlier: Lusi Bria, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Liana’s close friend.
"So this is Lusi! Her real face isn’t as pretty as her photos," Isabella thought mockingly, observing Lusi’s every move with sharp eyes.
She never imagined Lusi would have such a thick skin that she would dare target her eldest sister and fiancé as her mistress. "What a shaless woman," she hissed inwardly.
What a shaless woman!
That was how Isabella described Lusi Bria, who was wearing a Sabrina dress and heavy makeup to hide her many flaws. Layers of foundation, heavy eyeshadow, and excessive bright red lipstick.
Many people had been fooled by Lusi’s stunning beauty in photos, but once they saw her true face, they all backed away in an orderly fashion. Excessive filters and editing made her appearance in photos completely different from her real life.
Many arranged marriages were arranged by her family. Upon seeing her beautiful and gentle photos, many were interested in eting in person. But once they t, not only was her face not as beautiful as in the photos, Lusi’s arrogant and haughty temperant also made them withdraw. "She’s arrogant and impolite," complained one of the prospective husbands who had been matched with her to his family.
Her complicated family situation also contributed to many wealthy families’ reluctance to establish a relationship with her. Debts, failed businesses, and constant scandals tarnished Sabrina’s family’s reputation.
Only the Carloth family remained on good terms because their two children had been best friends since childhood. Kind-hearted Liana never differentiated between friends based on social status.
However, Lusi’s inflated self-confidence made her thick-skinned, constantly harassing her best friends’ partners to satisfy her obsession with being the most beautiful woman in the capital of the United States, even if it was just her imagination.
"She’s truly delusional," Isabella thought, continuing to observe.
Isabella continued to observe Lusi discreetly, listening to her inner voice and observing her movents, fearing she might cause a disturbance during this sacred event. Every small movent, every glance, Isabella observed it all closely.
[Don’t worry, Host, that woman won’t act now, but later at the wedding reception.]
Hearing the system’s explanation, Isabella’s tense body began to relax, and she was able to focus on her sister’s wedding blessing. "Okay, at least I have ti to prepare," she whispered, relieved.
Isabella’s actions didn’t escape Morgan’s notice, who imdiately signaled his n to monitor Lusi’s movents. He gave a subtle signal to several bodyguards, who imdiately understood and began to move silently.
He didn’t want the slightest mistake at his future sister-in-law’s wedding and bring sha to the Alegra family, who would soon beco his own. "I must protect the Bella family well," he resolved himself.
Lusi was unaware that two world-class mafias had been watching her silently, and she was still fantasizing wildly about the success of her long-planned master plan. A sly smile occasionally appeared on her face as she imagined its eventual success.
As soon as the priest arrived, the wedding blessing ceremony began, and everything went smoothly. An emotional atmosphere enveloped the room as Leon and Liana exchanged their vows.
"I, Leon Alberto Alegra, take you, Liana Carloth, as my wife..."
Tears of joy stread down Mikaela’s cheeks as she watched her eldest son get married.
The guests, who included only family and close friends, imdiately offered their congratulations and released balloons along with a pair of white doves, before returning to the hotel where the reception would be held tonight to rest for a while.
"Congratulations, Brother Leon, Sister Liana! May you always be happy!" Isabella exclaid, hugging her sister warmly.
***
anwhile, in one of the hotel rooms, a figure dressed in black crept quietly into the room, making sure no one saw him. His soft footsteps were barely audible in the quiet corridor.
"How is it? Is everything ready?" Lusi asked inquiringly, staring intently at her subordinates.
"Yes, Miss. Everyone is at their posts," her subordinates replied obediently, bowing their heads. "The dicine has been prepared in the drinks that will be served later."
"Good. Make sure the dosage is enough to render them unconscious," Lusi ordered with a wicked smile. "And make sure no one suspects anything."
Lusi, upon hearing the news, was delighted; her ambition to be the luckiest woman tonight would be fulfilled. If she could sleep with the heiress Alegra and Cromson simultaneously, wouldn’t that make her famous as the beautiful woman who could conquer the two most powerful n in the country in one night?
"I’ll be the most famous woman! Everyone will envy !" she exclaid, her eyes sparkling with obsession.
The thought of how much of a sensation this news would cause if it spread across the internet filled her with joy. She already imagined her face plastered all over social dia, the talk of the town.
"That innocent Liana won’t know anything. And I’ll take everything from her!" Lusi said, laughing softly, her tone filled with false triumph.
But little did he know, there were spies watching him from a distance, reporting his every move to Isabella and Morgan.
