Chapter 121

The crowd fell silent as Daniel patted Isabella's hand.

He sighed, "Isabella, I know you have suffered a lot. You mom passed away early, and you lost your father's love at a young age. That's why your uncles and I have always doted on you, trying to make up for what you lacked. I'm getting old and don't have much to give you. I'm afraid you wouldn't accept anything too valuable, so I just found a little trinket to represent my love."

In front of the many guests, Daniel's words brought tears to Isabella's eyes. She clearly knew Daniel's love for her.

He always thought of her as a girl who left her parents early, so he always prioritized her opinions.

Even when she came to Evergreen City with the marriage contract to marry Michael, Daniel was against it.

First, the marriage contract was just a joke he made years ago, , so it shouldn't count.

Second, no matter how difficult things were for the Wilson Family, they couldn't let her bear it.

After all, marriage was an important thing. How could she agree to marry Michael without fully understanding him?

But Isabella insisted on marrying Michael. Daniel couldn't persuade her and didn't want to be harsh, so he had to agree.

The next moment, in front of everyone, Daniel took off the gemstone ring symbolizing his identity as the Gambling King and placed it on her finger.

Seeing that, the crowd was stunned.

This ring was passed down to Daniel from the senior when he became the Gambling King, and to this day, it was recognized within the circle.

Over the decades, this ring had also become a symbol of the Wilson Group's leadership.

From the beginning, there were rumors that Isabella was the heiress of the Wilson Group, but it was just a rumor.

But now, no one dared to doubt it.

Isabella didn't expect Daniel to entrust her with such a heavy responsibility. She initially just wanted to help Daniel manage the family business.

She never thought of actually taking over the entire Wilson Family.

She instinctively shook her head, but Daniel didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Daniel held her hand and announced her identity to everyone, "Most of you here have some connection with me and know what this means. Isabella is young and may act impulsively at times. If she encounters any difficulties in the future, I hope you will take care of her for my sake."

Daniel's words were humble and modest.

But everyone understood that Daniel was showing them respect.

After all, given the Wilson Family's status and strength in the eastern and southern parts of Valoria, they didn't really need anyone's care.

These words were just to make it clear to everyone that Isabella was the heiress of the Wilson Family. If anyone dared to offend her, it would be like going against the Wilson Family. They should consider the consequence.

Isabella looked at the gemstone ring on her hand, feeling its weight like an invisible pressure surrounding her.

"Grandpa, I don't have the ability to take over the entire Wilson Family, and besides, Uncle Atticus and the other uncles are already... Isabella never thought she could bear such a great responsibility.

After all, the Wilson Family wasn't hers; her uncles were still there.

Moreover, during the time she managed the Wilson Group, she realized how exhausting it was to run a corporation. She was afraid of disappointing Daniel's expectations, and any one of Atticus and the others was much stronger than her.

But Daniel didn't give her a chance to doubt herself. "I won't allow you to undervalue yourself. In my heart, you are the best. You know Atticus and the others, who only want to find their self-worth and don't want the family business. You are the heiress I personally trained. I've taught you everything I know over the past decade. If you don't take over the Wilson Group, who will?"

Isabella pressed her lips together in silence.

She understood, but she still felt a sense of fear.

Daniel patted her head and comforted her, "Haven't you been doing well these past few months? I believe in you. As long as you are willing, you can succeed."

"Aren't you afraid I'll mess it up?" Isabella voiced her concern.

Daniel laughed heartily. "Do you not trust yourself or my judgment? I've trained you for years. You are the most suitable heiress for the Wilson Family. Besides, you are still young. Take this opportunity to gain more experience. If there's anything you don't know, your uncles and I can help you. With us around, everything will be fine."

At this point, Isabella couldn't refuse any longer.

She had the same determination as Daniel in her mind. Besides, she had her own views and insights on many things.

But this wasn't a small matter; it was about managing the entire Wilson Family.

The more she valued it, the more it constrained her.

But after hearing Daniel's words, she stopped hesitating and decided to try.

The rest of the banquet was filled with drinking and chatting.

Isabella talked with Daniel for a while and then went to find Nolan.

With so many people at the banquet, she couldn't ask him about the wheelchair earlier. Now was the perfect opportunity to ask what happened.

.

When Isabella found Nolan, who was standing alone on the balcony, silently looking out the window.

Nolan's focused expression made her reluctant to disturb him.

She walked over quietly and gently patted his shoulder. "Nolan, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing it was her, Nolan's eyes softened. "Nothing much. Are you done over there?"

"Yes, so I came to find you right away." Isabella stood in front of him, about to ask about his legs, when a slender figure appeared between them. It was the beautiful woman who had pushed Nolan's wheelchair earlier.

The woman stood behind Nolan, holding the wheelchair's handles. Her features were delicate, but her eyes were empty without any emotion.

Seeing such a beauty always by Nolan's side, Isabella glanced between the two of them.

She couldn't help but tease, "Nolan, you've been away for three years. It's normal to have a girlfriend. Aren't you going to introduce her to me?"

Nolan just smiled calmly. "Violet is not my girlfriend. We met by chance abroad. She's like a student to me."

Violet nodded at Isabella and extended her hand. " Hello, I'm Violet Cooper."

"Isabella Taylor!" Isabella shook Violet's hand briefly but felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Isabella curiously observed the beautiful woman named Violet.

Even though it was their first meeting, Isabella thought that she had seen her somewhere before.
