?Chapter 912:


    Being defeated by such a woman was uneptable.


    While Denis might not have rivaled Ethan in height or looks, his charm was undeniable.


    No logic could exin Denis’ choice of a woman like that. Isabe could only chalk it up to greed. Denis must be marrying that woman for her money!


    Thinking of this made Isabe’s heart ache. Losing to someone so unremarkable was almostughable.


    Her re fell hard on Brenna, and she refused to let herself appear weak. She said to Denis, “Denis, say something. Let everyone know you want to buy thisnd for me.”


    At that moment, Denis was distracted by his phone, reading a message from Judy Mendoza, the person he was about to marry.


    “Honey, I heard you want to buy a piece ofnd for me! I am so touched. I love you. I will go to the auction now. Wait for me. I want to share this exciting moment with you.”


    The contents of the message were a mystery to Brenna, but she noticed the way Denis stiffened as he read it. He then nced around the auction hall, eyeing every exit.


    His concern now was getting Isabe away before Judy made an appearance. If those two crossed paths, Judy would definitely make a scene.


    “Just leave. I don’t need you by my side today,” Denis said urgently. It wasn’t Isabe’s safety he was worried about. What really scared him was the thought of Judy doubting his devotion and calling off the wedding. “Hurry up and leave.”


    Tension sharpened Denis’ voice as he urged Isabe, though caution held him back from being too blunt. He dreaded the thought of her using him of cheating and causing another dramatic scene. “Just say that you want to buy thend for me. Everyone’s staring at me, even Brenna. I’m begging you, don’t make me embarrassed. Don’t you care about me?”


    Isabe was on the verge of tears.


    Denis’ patience wore thin. The idea that someone might discover his uing wedding to Judy unsettled him. He thought no one knew about it.


    Losing his temper, he shoved Isabe and barked, “Don’t push me. Leave before you make me lose my temper.”


    Eyes glued to his phone, Denis quickly fired off a message to Judy.


    “Sweetheart, I just want to give you a surprise. Don’te here. Once I get thend, I’ll make our rtionship public; everyone will be envious.”


    A sly smile flickered across Brenna’s face as she taunted Isabe, “Clearly, he’s not buying thend for you. Otherwise, he would have said so.”


    Standing her ground, Isabe retorted, “That’s not true!”


    Even without Denis’ support, Isabe clung to her pride with fierce determination.
