210. Isabelle 2.

Kevin smiled to himself at the system's words. And just like the system said, Kevin now understood why they were left alone to get 'acquainted' with each other in the hall.

At first, her claim that she was sorry for not inviting Kevin personally tonight was understandable.

The time, venue and nature of the auction were meant to be kept a secret, away from the general public.

To show how important the chosen invitees were, the presidents of both Baratheon Limited and Dynamo Bottling Company were the individuals tasked with handing out the invitations directly.

Only on a few occasions were the vice presidents given the responsibility of handing out the invitations.

But in actuality, this was nothing more than a formality.

Of all the invitees present in the hall tonight, not a single one of them received the invitation directly from either Ned or Isabelle.
