Chapter 269

Cinda looked at Isabella, who was pouting adorably, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

She quickly went over to console her, "What are you talking about? This is just a normal pregnancy phenomenon. How can you say you're fat?"

"Besides, this is something every pregnant woman goes through. Watching the baby grow day by day is a very happy thing for a mother."

No matter how grand and pleasant Cinda's words were, Isabella was still troubled by the pile of dresses thrown on the bed.

With so many clothes, but not a single one she could wear.

She sat on the bed helplessly. It wouldn't matter at other times, but this time she was attending Michael's birthday party, and it was Violet who had invited her just to annoy her!

She couldn't lose her momentum.

She absolutely couldn't lose this momentum.

"Cinda, do you have any way to help me find a dress that exudes power?"

Isabella knew she was making things difficult for Cinda, but she was really out of options.

She had gone through so many clothes that she was exhausted.

Cinda looked at Isabella, who was sitting on the bed with an unwilling expression, and didn't think too much. She just wanted to quickly help her find a fitting dress and persuade her to go down for some breakfast.

Walking into the closet, Cinda looked through the clothes in each cabinet and finally selected a vintage red cape dress.

She thought the color was beautiful and took it out.

"Ms. Taylor, try this one. I think it suits you."

Isabella was amazed when she saw the mid-length cape dress. "Cinda, how did you find this dress? I almost forgot about it."

Cinda smiled shyly, "It was in the cabinet. I thought the bright color might be suitable for today's occasion."

"It's perfect, Cinda. You're like an angel from heaven."

Isabella excitedly took the dress, hugged Cinda, and couldn't wait to go to the closet to match the outfit.

She paired the bright red dress with a black turtleneck sweater, a matching hat, and black long boots.

She added a delicate handbag, simple yet sophisticated.

When she came out, she could see from the amazement and admiration in Cinda's eyes that her outfit was a success.

"Ms. Taylor, I think I understand what you meant by exuding power. This outfit really has that aura!"

Isabella looked at herself in the mirror.

Wearing red in winter really catches the eye, and this dress was a tribute to a foreign princess's outfit.

The cape design had a strong presence, and the flowing hem added to the aura.

Moreover, the dress perfectly covered her pregnant belly, and the long boots accentuated her slender legs. The flat shoes were more suitable for a pregnant woman like her.

After changing, Isabella went downstairs with Cinda for breakfast. After putting on some delicate makeup, it was exactly eight o'clock.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was Aaron, who needed her permission to enter the villa area.

Isabella asked him to hand the phone to the security personnel and said to let him in before hanging up.

When Aaron drove up to Isabella's villa, she was already walking out with her bag.

A stunning red figure approached from a distance, and Aaron was almost mesmerized.

It took him a moment to realize it was Isabella, and he quickly opened the back door to invite her in.

At the dock, Isabella immediately saw Michael's four-story luxury yacht docked nearby.

However, once on board, she noticed a problem.

Michael had said there would be a lot of people to make it lively, but after looking around, she only saw a few of his close friends.

The one she was most familiar with was Michael's friend, Ethan.

But this time, he had a sweet-looking actress with him, and they were whispering to each other, making the girl's face blush.

Isabella had no interest in Ethan's private affairs and didn't go inside. Instead, she took a walk outside.

Strangely, she didn't see the birthday party's main character, Michael.

Nor did she see Violet.

Knowing Violet, who would seize any opportunity to show off in front of her, it was surprising that she was late.

Maybe the two of them were planning some "surprise"?

But she wasn't in a hurry.

The big show was just beginning, and all she had to do was wait patiently.

Looking at the various cold dishes and snacks on the yacht, Isabella found a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the sea view.

Meanwhile, in a place where Isabella couldn't see, the birthday party had already begun.

To shine at this birthday party, Violet had used the card Michael gave her to buy the most expensive and luxurious custom-made dress.

She had a celebrity makeup artist team do her styling, and once everything was ready, she became the first person to step onto the luxury yacht in high heels.

Her plan was to start the birthday party at noon, spend a wonderful day on the yacht, and at midnight, she and Michael would sit outside the yacht, blowing out the birthday candles and watching the snow.

When the atmosphere was right, she would give Michael a passionate kiss, presenting herself as his birthday gift.

At that moment, Michael wouldn't be able to resist, and everything would happen naturally.

But Violet didn't expect her plan to fall apart from the start.

Not only did Michael allow Violet to be the first to enter the yacht, but he also set up a luxurious table of food in the dining room.

There was a row of waiters ready to serve, and a violinist playing nearby.

This yacht was the Brown Family's asset, usually used to entertain various partners, and its luxury was beyond ordinary imagination.

Moved by Michael's thoughtfulness and affection, Violet sat in front of the surprise Michael had prepared for her.

But before she could say anything, she took a sip of the red wine in her glass and passed out on the table.

If it weren't for the waiters supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.

However, Michael calmly waved his hand, instructing the people around him to lock Violet in a room.

Everything Violet had touched was quickly removed by the waiters, leaving no trace of the romantic dinner.

It took less than twenty minutes to erase all traces of Violet from the dining room.

At this moment, Michael picked up his glass of red wine and walked to the front of the yacht, looking at the red figure sitting by the window from behind.

A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Violet ruin his birthday with Isabella.

Violet's only reason for being here was to lure out the Adri Family.

If he didn't need more time to investigate the Adri Family's actions, she wouldn't even be here.
