Chapter 297 Eltheron's Best Man
Chapter 297 Eltheron's Best Man
Isabella didn't even look up. She bent down and picked up the Clear Sound Bell that had been under her right foot. Her fingers gently shook it, and the bell rang again, more urgently than before.
With the sound of the bell, the seven magic knives on the ground began to shake violently, making a trembling sound.
Isabella raised her hand and grabbed,
Those seven black shadows seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and were instantly caught in her hand, struggling and twisting constantly in her palm.
"These seven are tomb raiders,"
Isabella spoke slowly, her tone full of contempt,
"They were robbing tombs on a nearby cliff, accidentally lost their footing and fell off the cliff into the lake and drowned. After death, their resentment lingered, and they became evil spirits. They've been trying to find scapegoats so they can be freed and reincarnate."
"What? These people are so bad! Even after dying they won't settle down, and still want to harm others!"
Melinda stomped her feet in anger. No longer afraid, she stood up from the ground and glared at the black shadows in Isabella's palm,
"How do you know they're tomb raiders?"
"They've had their eyes on us since we entered Royal Peaks Manor."
Isabella's tone was flat, as if talking about something trivial,
"Their resentment carries greed and cruelty, completely different from ordinary vengeful spirits. Very easy to tell apart."
"I get it now!"
Charles suddenly had an epiphany, his eyes wide with amazement,
"So when we came to the lake to go boating earlier, you had already sensed their presence and set up the bell formation on the ground in advance?
Cousin! You're so amazing, you already predicted they would do something bad!"
Isabella didn't explain. She just casually clenched the black shadows in her palm,
and took out a red string from her bag.
Her fingers flew, moving skillfully. Soon she had tied the seven shadows tightly with the red string, forming a complex knot.
Then she stuffed the bound shadows directly into her bag and patted it,
"I'll deal with this later. They're just small fries, can't cause much trouble.
Let's wake up these controlled people first and get back to the hotel as soon as possible. It's almost ten o'clock."
Hearing this, Melinda immediately raised her wrist to check her watch. The hands on the dial were already pointing to 9:50.
Her expression changed. She grabbed Isabella's hand and hurried toward the hotel,
"Oh no, let's go! We'll be too late!"
Charles and Dylan were completely confused and quickly followed behind, asking,
"What happens at ten? What's special about ten o'clock?
Is there a really hungry evil ghost coming out to hunt for food?"
Melinda turned around and made a face at them, deliberately teasing,
"Yes, yes, yes! At ten o'clock a super fierce evil ghost comes out that eats disobedient children! If you don't hurry up, you'll be eaten by the ghost!"
"Then let's run!"
Charles and Dylan turned pale with fright and ran even faster.
Isabella helplessly patted her cheek and said with a mixture of laughter and tears,
"Stop scaring them.
Hurry up. If Brandon and Jonathan don't get our video call later, they'll probably really fly a helicopter over tonight.
They were already worried about us coming here for this bachelorette party. If they find out we've been in so much danger, they'll definitely be angry."
Before she finished speaking, the sound of a helicopter's rotating propellers suddenly came from overhead,
getting closer and closer, bringing strong air currents,
blowing the weeds on the ground to one side.
Those people who had just been released from Isabella's control and hadn't fully regained consciousness were blown unsteady by the air current and fell to the ground one after another, letting out cries of alarm.
Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a black 7-seater helicopter slowly descending, its propellers stirring the air and raising dust everywhere.
Charles and Dylan reacted fastest, immediately raising their hands and shouting at the helicopter,
"Don't be scared, everyone! We're having a lawn party right now. Is everyone ready? Let's sing a song now, how about 'Merry Christmas'? One, two, three, sing!"
While shouting, they didn't forget to pull the people around them to clap along, trying to cover up the chaos from earlier.
The helicopter landed steadily on the lawn. The cabin door opened, and Jonathan was the first to step out.
He was wearing a black suit, his face so dark it could drip water, his eyes sweeping over the chaotic lawn before finally settling on Isabella.
The next second, he strode forward and pulled Isabella tightly into his arms, with such force it was as if he wanted to meld her into his bones.
Before Isabella could speak, Jonathan turned around holding her and walked straight into the helicopter.
On the other side, Brandon also got off another helicopter. He too had a dark expression, and immediately spotted Melinda running ahead.
He caught up in a few steps and without a word hoisted Melinda over his shoulder, angrily patting her bottom once, his tone stern,
"This place is so dangerous, and you two actually played here all day! And what bachelorette party?
I think you've gotten too bold!
You're not staying here anymore. If you want a party, have it back in Eltheron, stay by my side. You're never coming back to such a dangerous place again, don't even think about it!"
Melinda struggled on his shoulder, shouting,
"Put me down! Brandon, let me go! I didn't mean to! We just wanted to explore!"
Sophie stood in place, watching her best friends being forcibly carried away by the two bossy CEOs, and helplessly rolled her eyes.
Sophie was slowly walking on her long legs toward the plane when the helicopter suddenly took off on the spot.
Sophie immediately jumped in frustration, shouting at the plane,
"Hey! Why are you leaving again? Leaving me here alone again! Are you deliberately bullying me for being single? This is too much!"
Charles and Dylan also panicked, waving their hands and shouting at the plane,
"Brandon! Jonathan! Wait for us! We want to ride the helicopter too! Don't leave us behind!"
But the helicopter's cabin door was already closed, the propellers spinning again, quickly ascending.
On the plane, Jonathan held Isabella tightly, his chin resting on top of her head, his tone full of lingering fear,
"Don't participate in such dangerous activities again, okay? When I saw the livestream, I was really scared."
Isabella leaned against him and gently nodded,
"I know, I won't do it again."
On the ground, Sophie, Charles, and Dylan looked at each other, awkwardness filling the air.
On the lawn, more than a dozen awakened people still looked confused, not knowing what had just happened, just waiting foolishly for the "lawn party" to begin.
Isabella and Melinda, who were brought back home, were criticized by their families, and the two so-called "top students" couldn't argue back.
No choice—they had livestreamed everything, and all the dangers they encountered were seen clearly by their families.
Gloria, Walter, and Nora even hugged together and cried crocodile tears.
It wasn't until Isabella and Melinda promised not to do such dangerous things again that the family finally let them off.
But Charles and Dylan, who came home late, weren't so lucky.
Because Charles and Dylan had deceived Isabella into helping solve the haunted Royal Peaks Manor, after returning, Royal Peaks Manor was directly forcibly taken over by the Tudor Group for 6 million dollars.
Charles and Dylan's protests were ineffective. If Isabella hadn't pleaded for them, they probably would have been dealt with by Raymond too.
Jonathan was completely worried about Isabella doing livestreams.
After returning from Royal Peaks Manor, Jonathan stayed with Isabella the whole time.
Even when going to the Hamilton Corporation, Jonathan insisted Isabella come along.
Under the pretext: Joint management by husband and wife is more efficient.
Isabella didn't want her family to worry, and the livestreams were indeed too frequent and affecting her state of mind.
Besides, Eltheron was only so big, there weren't that many ghosts for her to catch.
Plus, Melinda's wedding was coming as scheduled.
Everyone was immersed in the happiness of the wedding.
Isabella became the most beautiful bridesmaid, holding Melinda's hand and whispering,
"Be good to Brandon from now on. Brandon may seem domineering on the surface, but he's actually a man who loves to act cute."
"Come on, now that I'm marrying Brandon, we're not best friends anymore? Why are you taking Brandon's side?"
"You caught me! But Brandon really is the best man in Eltheron! Really, trust me!"
"If Brandon is the best man in Eltheron, then what am I?"
Jonathan leaned against the door frame, hearing Isabella praise Brandon, and asked quietly.
Melinda's mouth twitched. She stood up and patted Isabella's shoulder,
"Here's what—you go placate your fiancé first. I'll go to the first-floor chapel to get married. I'll come save you later."
With that, Melinda quickly ran out, completely ignoring whatever Isabella was about to face.
Isabella smiled awkwardly. She didn't escape and was directly caught by Jonathan's grip on her slender waist.
Then she lost herself in a passionate kiss.
"I was wrong, Jonathan. You're the best man in Eltheron. I love you."
"Isabella, Bunny, I love you too! I'll always love you."
Jonathan and Isabella's vows accompanied the solemn reading by the priest on the first floor, their mutual promises becoming even more steadfast in the sacred atmosphere.
In an instant, two vows of happiness seemed to fly toward the heavens.
