Chapter 220
"Hey, you look... beautiful," Brandon said as he admired her and Hannah gave out a small smile.
Hannah turned to Lucas who was staring at her and then she looked away before walking out of the house, with Brandon by her side. Brandon opened the car door for her and beckoned for her to get in.
"You don't have to open the car door for me," she said and Brandon sighed. She stared at him and entered the car and he closed the door. He moved towards the driver's seat, hopped inside the car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off.
Meanwhile, Lucas on the other hand had walked out of the house, hopped inside his car, and drove off.
The moment Lucas left, Jessica and Matthew walked out of the house, entered the car, and drove off to the party.
Meanwhile, Jeff had just arrived at the party and walked inside Thomas's house where the party was being held.
He scrutinized the whole house, it was really big on the inside and the interior decoration of the house looked magnificent.
"Jeff, thank you for coming," Mr Thomas said as he walked towards Jeff and they both exchanged handshakes.
"Come, I'll introduce you to all my friends," Mr Thomas said and Jeff nodded as they both walked away.
Just then a black car came to a stop in front of Mr Thomas's house. The car door opened and Brandon and Hannah alighted the car.
Hannah sighed as she stared around, there were a lot of people at the party and most of them were now staring at her.
"That's Mr. Colby's wife, the COO of Colby co. Her dress is so pretty," one of the ladies in the crowd whispered.
Hannah took a deep breath but then she suddenly felt Brandon holding her hands.
She became calm instantly.
"The party has started," Hannah said as they walked in.
"Yeah, it's your fault we are late, you didn't get dressed in time," Brandon said as they walked inside the house fully.
"What? You are the cause. If you weren't flirting with me acting like a pervert, we would've come early" Hannah said and Brandon rolled his eyes while trying to find Thomas.
"I need to find Thomas, he should know I'm here," Brandon said and Hannah pulled her hands from Brandon's.
"Uhm, I'll go get a drink. You can go find him, I can take care of myself" she said and he hummed. She smiled at him before walking away.
Brandon sighed and went to look for Thomas. Just then he caught a glimpse of Thomas with some men in suits, they were all laughing while talking.
He recognized most of the men there as they were prominent businessmen in the city. Edward was in their midst too.
He walked towards them.
"Thomas" Brandon called and they all turned to him at once
"Oh, Bradon Colby, you made it," Thomas said as he moved towards Brandon and hugged him.
"I'm sorry I'm late," he said and Thomas smiled and pulled away from the hug.
"It's fine, I'm glad you made it. These are my friends, I believe you know most of them already" Thomas said and Brandon stared at all of them and just then he saw Jeff, staring at him. "Oh wow, the devil agent is here," he thought and then looked away from him.
"Brandon" Mr Edward called as he stood up and walked towards Brandon and they both exchanged handshakes.
"How are you Mr Edward, I'm sorry I haven't come to see you," Brandon said and Edward smiled.
"We can always see and talk any time. Let's enjoy the party" Edward said as he sat down and they all smiled. He then turned to Thomas.
"I would love to speak with you in private Mr Thomas" Brandon said and Thomas wondered what he had wanted to talk about.
"We would talk about business when the party's over. Come on, join us and drink with us," Thomas said as he took a glass of drink and gave it to Brandon.
Brandon on the other hand smiled as he took the glass of drink, he then sat down while he and Jeff kept giving each other a deadly glare.
Meanwhile, Isabella is seen sitting at the corner of the party, beside two ladies who were gossiping and wouldn't stop talking.
She had been sitting here waiting for Brandon to arrive but she hadn't seen him since she arrived an hour ago.
Just then Hannah walked past her and sat on the table close to her. She brought out her phone and texted Arianna that she wouldn't be coming home in time and that she should go pick up the kids from school. After which she put her phone back in her purse.
The two ladies beside Isabella started talking about Hannah.
"Isn't that the wife of Mr Colby? Oh my goodness, her dress is so pretty and it looks very expensive" one of the ladies said
"Yeah, and she's so beautiful. Everything about her speaks of money and elegance. I wish I could be like her" the other lady said and Isabella turned and saw Hannah sitting all alone on the table next to hers.
She frowned the moment she saw her. Jealousy ran through her. She looked beautiful in the dress she was wearing and that Diamond necklace and earrings she was putting on cost a lot.
She was sure Brandon bought it for her. The more she stared at the lady the more hatred she felt for her.
She stood up and decided to approach her, she was going to warn her to stay away from Brandon.

"Hey, can I help you?" She asked politely and Isabella scoffed.
"I know Brandon doesn't Love you, you are the one forcing yourself on him, I want you to stay away from him," Jessica said looking furious and Hannah laughed.
"You've got the guts to approach me and ask me to stay away from my husband? Where do you buy your audacity from? Have you got no shame? Going after people's husbands like a whore?" Hannah asked and the frown on her face deepened.
"How dare you call me a whore" she muttered and was about to hit her when Hannah held her hands and pushed her to the ground.
"How dare you push me? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? He's a prominent man in the city and would throw you in jail for what you had just done" She yelled angrily, breathing intensely. Hannah chuckled and clicked her tongue.
"And do you know who I am?
Do not dare come after me, Isabella because you will lose.
I am Cinderella Mackenzie, I run this town, I make the rules, and trust me I always win.
Ask around about the people that have messed with me if they lived to see another day" she said and with that she stood up and walked away.
Isabella, who felt embarrassed, turned and saw the two gossip ladies staring at her.
"What are you staring at?" she yelled and they quickly looked away.
