Chapter 921
Ivy made her way up the stairs, her footsteps echoing softly in the quiet of the
grand
house.
Holden remained where he was, his expression unreadable, betraying nothing of
his thoughts.
In the study, Dominic motioned for Isaac to take a seat. “Man, it's been years
since we last caught up. How come you didn’t give me a heads-up before
swinging by Craneville?”
“Just needed a change of scenery,” Isaac replied casually.
“How's everyone else doing?"
“Pretty good, actually. Derek's about to tie the knot, and Wesley Tueley’s been
hitched for a while now. His little girl's not so little anymore.
Despite the years apart, the bond between Isaac and Dominic hadn't faded in the
slightest. Dominic let out a wistful sigh. “After graduation, my family asked me to
come back. I always meant to visit Imperial City again, but just never found the
time.”
Politics ran in Dominic's family for three generations. Following in their footsteps,
he'd taken up the mantle, and his influence in Craneville was nothing short of
impressive.
“So, when's your big day, Zac?” Dominic asked, nudging the topic towards
matrimony.
At the mention, a soft warmth touched Isaac's eyes. “Well, I've actually...
Knock, knock, knock.
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by an urgent rap at the door, and in
walked a woman dressed in an exquisite gown. “Dominic, I heard you had a
visitor. What are you guys chatting about?”
Dominic hadn't expected Ivy to barge in like this. He stood up abruptly. “Ivy, what
brings you here?”
At first glance, Ivy's eyes locked with Isaac's, and there was a brief, palpable
pause.
How did he know Dominic?
Sensing her gaze, Isaac stood up. “Dominic, who might this be?”
“Zac, let me introduce you. This is none other than our local royal gem, Princess
Ivy,” Dominic said, a hint of pride in his voice.
“Ivy, this is Isaac Salter, an old buddy of mine.” Noticing the lack of warmth in the

introduction, Dominic quickly added, “We go way back.”
Isaac offered a charming smile. “Your Highness.”
Ivy, taken aback that Isaac was acquainted with Dominic, recalled their previous
encounter and swiftly moved forward, extending her hand. “Mr. Salter, a pleasure
to meet you.”
Her lace gloves, paired with her lavish gown, accentuated her slender fingers,
drawing the
eye.
Isaac shook her hand, but released it a moment later.
Dominic was oblivious to Ivy's overt enthusiasm. “Zac, why don’t you join us for
dinner tonight?” he suggested.
After a moment's thought, Isaac agreed. He valued his friendship with Dominic
immensely, and attending the dinner would also be an opportunity to network.
Moving to Craneville hadn't crossed his mind previously, but with Brittany's
changed status, he needed to plan ahead.

Dominic was eager to introduce Isaac around, and the two of them together
struck a particularly harmonious chord.
Ivy watched the evening unfold from the sidelines.
After the dinner party, Dominic invited Isaac to visit his family.
“Let's do it another time,” Isaac declined. “I've got a date later tonight.”
Understanding crossed Dominic's face. “Found someone special?”
Atender light flickered in Isaac's eyes. “Yeah, she’s waiting for me to come
home.”
Dominic was genuinely happy for him. “Bring her over sometime, we'll have
dinner.”
“Will do.”
