âMs. Quillen⦠Ms. Quillen⦠Ms. Quillen?â Lexi called out repeatedly, finally
managing to pull Mackenzie back from the sorrowful, haunting world she had
been lost in.
âHuh?â Mackenzie gasped softly, realizing her heart was racing, and her body
felt stiff as if sheâd just woken from a disturbingly vivid nightmare.
âMs. Quillen, are you alright?â Lexi quickly pulled out a handkerchief, gently
wiping the cold sweat from Mackenzieâs forehead.
âIâm not sure what happened⦠I was listening to Maestro Morettiâs
performance, and it felt like I was completely immersed in the world of the
play. It was so realâ¦â Mackenzie admitted, still a little shaken. What scared her
most was the fear that the vision she saw might come true one dayâthat

she and Emmanuel would be separated by life and death.
âYeah, Maestro Moretti is incredible. I felt like I was transported too. The
dtmosphere she created was just breathtaking!â Lexi admitted, still in awe.

Mackenzie wondered for a moment if Lexi had experienced the same vision,
but seeing no signs of distress on her friendâs face, she figured it was unlikely.
As the opera concluded, the audience erupted into applause and cheers.
âWow, she truly is the queen of opera. That was extraordinary!â
âNo doubt about it. Her voice is ethereal; no one else in the world can sing like
Maestro Moretti.â
âThis was worth every moment! Iâm going home to grab something else to

The crowd was either left wanting more or completely awestruck. It was clear
that despite the modest setting, Isabellaâs performance had been another
resounding success. Yet, like many others, Mackenzie realized that even
though she had just watched Isabella perform, she couldnât recall her
appearance at all. Isabella was like an elusive legend.
Just as Mackenzie and Lexi were about to leave, the woman always dressed
in red appeared again, this time with an entourage.
âMs. Mackenzie, my master requests your presence,â Lady Rosa announced.
Mackenzie was momentarily taken aback. She hadnât expected Isabella to

âWeâll go together then,â Mackenzie responded, ready to follow. But Lady Rosa
extended a hand to stop the others, smiling. âMy master has invited only Ms.
Mackenzie. The rest of you will have to wait here.â
âMs. Quillen!â Lexi called out, her voice tinged with concern. Though she didnât
say anything outright, her eyes clearly warned Mackenzie to be cautious.
First, Lady Rosa had a reputation for being unpredictableâno one knew
where her true loyalties lay. And secondly, Isabella was still Teddyâs sister,

which meant she could be a potential enemy; for Mackenzie to meet her
alone could be dangerous.

Mackenzie thought for a moment before offering a reassuring smile to Lexi
and the others. âDonât worry. Itâs an honor to be invited by Maestro Moretti. Iâll
just have a chat with her and be right back.â
Lexi still looked uneasy, glancing over at Rhett, who stood not far away, arms
crossed. He, however, seemed confident in the saintessâ decision.
Soon enough, Mackenzie followed Lady Rosa and her group into a quiet,
secluded room.
âPlease, Mackenzie.â Lady Rosa gestured for her to enter while she and the
others remained outside.

Many women might have felt some fear or hesitation at this point, but
Mackenzie pushed the door open without a second thought, walking in
calmly.

Inside the room stood a woman still clad in her opera costume, her makeup
yet to be removed. Her face resembled a peach blossom, with brows like ink
brushstrokes and lips the color of rich crimson, exuding an air of otherworldly
elegance.
âMackenzie Quillen. Greetings, Maestro Moretti!â Mackenzie knew that
performers of the classical arts often appreciated traditional manners, so
she adopted a more refined and formal tone.
âPlease, have a seat, Ms. Quillen.â Isabella was straightforward, gesturing for
Mackenzie to sit across from her without any unnecessary formalities.

Mackenzie sat down gracefully, watching as Isabella personally poured her a
cup of freshly brewed tea.
Please, enjoy.â Isabella motioned politely.
Mackenzie glanced at the cup before picking it up with a smile. âItâs truly an
honor to drink tea prepared by yourself, Maestro Moretti.â With that, she took
a sip.
Isabella watched her closely, a faint smile tugging at her lips. She suddenly
commented, âMs. Quillen, you truly are a natural beauty. Youâre the second
most beautiful woman Iâve ever seen in my life.â
âYou flatter me, Maestro!â Mackenzie placed the cup back down, then
followed up with a question, âWas the first, perhaps, Yuna?â

Isabella shook her head and replied candidly, âYuna is beautiful, no doubt, but
she falls a bit short. Even I pale in comparison to you, Ms. Quillen.â

As she spoke, Isabella stood up. Mackenzie quickly followed, not wanting to
breach any formalities, and responded, âMaestro Moretti, youâre being too
kind!â

âIâm not exaggerating.â Isabellaâs tone remained lofty but sincere, free from
any hint of pretension. With her back to Mackenzie, she said, âIn terms of

beauty, the only one who could rival you was Jane Tanner, once the first of
Zoyinceâs Four Beauties.â

Mackenzie froze for a moment, then quickly responded, âYou place me too
high, Maestro. I could never compare. But,
if I may ask, are you Jane Tannerâs
sister, Isabella Tanner?â
Isabella turned, nodding openly. âThatâs right. And Teddy is my second older
brother.â
A chill ran through Mackenzie. She immediately began to speculate on
Isabellaâs intentions. However, Isabella didnât seem like the type to play
games. She smiled, straightforward as ever. âMs. Quillen, you see my brother
as an enemy. Werenât you afraid I might try to harm you? And yet, you drank
the tea I offered without hesitation.â
Mackenzie smiled calmly. âIf you truly wanted to harm me, Iâd have no way
out. So, I figured it was better to face the situation headâon.â

Isabella smiled too. âYou have courage. I admire that.â
âItâs my honor to receive such praise from you, Maestro Moretti!â Mackenzie
ave a slight bow as a gesture of respect, then asked, âMay I inquire why you
asked to see me? Is there something you wish to advise or warn me about?â
âYouâre sharp and straightforward, so Iâll be just as candid.â Isabella motioned
for Mackenzie to sit again, and once they were both seated, she asked, âIâve
heard that you and Emmanuel are planning to remove my brother from his
position as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. And you intend to take
that seat yourself?â
Mackenzie was momentarily taken aback by how directly Isabella addressed
the matter. âYes,â she finally replied, deciding that honesty was the best
approach. After all, there was no point in hiding something so obvious.

âWhy?â Isabella pressed, her expression serious. âI want to hear the truth, not
empty excuses.â Her voice was calm, devoid of any threat, but it was clear
that if Mackenzie didnât provide a satisfactory answer, the situation could turn
angerous very quickly.
âBecause Teddy isnât a good man. If he stays in power, many people will
continue to suffer. His leadership is harmful to the growth of Chanaeaâs
business sector.â Mackenzieâs straightforwardness seemed to please Isabella,
as it showed she wasnât wasting time with deception.
âIs that so?â Isabella asked, her smile turning slightly mischievous as she
observed Mackenzieâs reaction. âSo, Ms. Quillen, are you confident that you
can do a better job than my brother if you take his place?â
