This chapter was so satisfying to write! Alexander’s confidence in rigging the debate topic to his advantage completely backfires when Isabella destroys him with real-world knowledge and passionate arguments. His months of preparation couldn’t compete with her lived experience with the pharmaceutical industry. The fire alarm adds chaos and gives us that intense moment between them afterward. Alexander’s admission that he underestimated her shows real character growth, and his promise to “find another way to win you” is both romantic and slightly menacing. The debate also serves to show everyone at Ashwick that Isabella isn’t just wealthy—she’s genuinely brilliant and formidable in her own right.
