My Fiancé Was Taken By My Younger Sister, But I Plan To Get My Revenge Through My Performance at The Social Party - Episode 19

Isabella submitted her newly devised party plan to the old butler of the Blackthorn family. First, she needed his approval; without it, they wouldn’t even be allowed to hold the party. She ended up being placed under strict supervision.

Someone giving orders from above? Isabella was accumulating dissatisfaction, but if she didn’t follow the orders, she could be punished in the worst-case scenario. Given that she had been warned, she had no choice but to comply quietly. Even so, she wished to command freely like she used to.

“If I can produce results and gain recognition, I should be able to lead like before.”

Believing so, Isabella intended to finalize the plan.

The old butler checked the plan and immediately shook his head.

“This won’t do.”

“What do you mean!? Are you really saying my plan is no good after checking it properly?”

Isabella’s voice was tinged with irritation.

“It’s impossible to allocate this much budget. Please think it over a bit more and then submit the plan.”

The old butler explained calmly. The budget outlined in the plan was nearly ten times the usual scale. With such a budget, it would be enough to cover all the parties held throughout the year.

The plan was pushed back. Isabella, driven by anger, grabbed it.

“That’s enough already!”

She turned on her heel and left the room. Her footsteps were heavy, and the sound echoing in the hallway reflected her anger.

Isabella headed straight to Damian and exploded with dissatisfaction.

“Even if I come up with a plan, they have no intention of accepting it no matter what. With this, no matter how much I think about it, I won’t be able to achieve any results.”

“……Using a large sum of money. Is that the secret strategy you were talking about?”

Damian asked with a worried expression. His voice was tinged with fatigue.

“That’s right. The duke’s family has a lot of money, right? You have to use it. If you do, you’ll surely succeed.”

“……”

Damian was stunned when he heard Isabella’s naive idea. It wasn’t a plan at all, just a waste of a whim. Budget overruns are an immediate reason for rejection, and he felt a sense of despair that she didn’t even understand that.

It is essential to come up with ideas within the budget, entertain the participants, and facilitate smooth interactions among the nobility. Yet, Isabella seemed to not even understand the fundamental purpose of high society. At this rate, success would be nothing but a distant dream.

Damian leaves Isabella behind and goes to report to his father.

“She is impossible. The chances of achieving results with that plan she came up with are zero.”

“Until she shows results, you’ll take care of her. Lady Isabella is the sister of Lady Victoria, who has been increasingly successful with her parties lately. If they share the same bl00d, she might have the same talent.”

Damian strongly denied his father’s words in his heart. He thought there was not a shred of possibility in that.

“Believing in that possibility, I will continue to watch over her from now on. If she achieves results, I will return the position you desire.”

Damian instantly understood the true meaning of those words. If he couldn’t produce results, he would remain in a lost position indefinitely. In other words, his father never intended to reinstate him from the beginning. This felt like nothing more than a way to get rid of him.

Betting on a slim chance, I have to keep an eye on Isabella. Without being allowed to part ways with her, who shows no signs of talent, and staying with her until she produces results became the role assigned to Damian. It was the beginning of an endless ordeal.
