Isabella had no idea what was really going on. Hearing that her father had instructed her stepmother to sell the house, she felt an overwhelming sorrow.

Her father had already kicked her out, knowing she had nowhere to go. Now, he wanted her stepmother to sell the only place she could call home. Was he really so heartless, completely indifferent to his own daughter’s well-being?

Thinking about how her once-loving father had become so cold and cruel, Isabella felt a pain that made it hard to breathe. She clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling as she tried to hold back her sobs.

Lucius, who had been silently observing, noticed Isabella's distress and frowned slightly.

Suddenly, he remembered something. When he decided to acquire the land in the old suburbs, he had his driver take him to inspect the area. It was on that day that he was ambushed. There were forces within Knight Group that didn’t

    Lucius lowered his gaze to look at her, his eyes clear and filled with an emotion that seemed to drown. Isabella's eyes met his, and suddenly she felt a strange tremor, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her throat.She wondered if she had been electrified. Her face flushed, and she nudged him, whispering urgently, "Say something!"Finally, Lucius spoke, his eyes never leaving hers. "Hmm. These wedding gifts are too humble for you. I’ll give you the best in the future."His performance was so convincing it sent ripples through Isabella’s heart. She couldn't help but feel that the emotion in his eyes seemed genuine.Regina and Cynthia, who had come to demand the house, were now forced to swallow this sweet display, nearly choking on it. Cynthia was on the brink of madness, seeing the man she desired showing such affection towards Isabella.Grinding her teeth in frustrat

    Isabella sat nervously on the edge of the bed, glancing secretly at Regina and Cynthia, accidentally making eye contact with them.The three of them simultaneously ‘hmphed,’ rolled their eyes, and ignored each other.Isabella furrowed her brow, thinking to herself, ‘These two seem determined to stay. I wonder how Lucius is doing. He wouldn't run away at the last minute, would he?’With that thought, Isabella felt a surge of anger. ‘Hmph, he insisted on staying here when he was injured. Now that I'm in trouble, he's quick to run. Lucius Knight, if you dare to run, may you step in dog poop every day for the rest of your life.’Just as she was cursing him in her mind, the door suddenly clicked open.Lucius walked in.Isabella was overjoyed and quickly stood up.As soon as he entered, he angrily took off his shoes, threw the

    Isabella walked over and pulled open the door, pointing outside. She said coldly to them, "Leave immediately, or I'll call the police."Cynthia was unwilling to give up and still wanted to continue confronting Isabella.Regina gave her a meaningful look, grabbed her arm, and restrained her previous hostility. "Cynthia, let's go. Your sister casually cohabits with a stranger and secretly got married, completely disregarding her father. Let your dad handle this matter."Cynthia understood instantly. This house was originally meant to be retrieved behind her father's back. If her father found out, he would definitely blame them.Now, Isabella had married this lowly man without permission, showing disrespect to her elders. For their father, who valued prestige more than anything, this was an embarrassing family scandal. He would surely intervene and discipline Isabella himself.By th

    Miss Kirsten was taken aback, not expecting Mrs. Rivera to speak of the Rivera family's eldest daughter in such a way. Naturally, she was unaware of the animosity between Isabella and Regina.Seeing that Miss Kirsten was silent, Regina made her intentions clear, "I hope you won't admit Isabella to the school. This is also for the sake of the school's reputation. We don't want her to tarnish it."Miss Kirsten finally understood; Mrs. Rivera clearly disliked the eldest daughter of the Rivera family. It seemed the rumors that Mrs. Rivera was a stepmother were true.Given that someone of Mrs. Rivera's status had personally made this call, Miss Kirsten immediately realized she couldn't afford to offend such an influential figure. She quickly agreed, "I understand Mrs. Rivera's concerns. However, Isabella is already enrolled. It would be against school regulations to expel her without cause."Regina furrow

    In the next moment, the entire class erupted in thunderous laughter.Mocking voices aimed at Isabella rose one after another."Oh my god, scoring zero points is quite a feat. I couldn't even do that if I tried.""How did a loser like this get into a top school? Isn't this a disgrace to the school?""Disgrace? She's very pretty, though—a pretty loser.""They say the prettier someone is, the lower their IQ. I guess it's true."Isabella ignored the mocking voices around her. Those were last year's exam results; they only represented the past. Today was a new beginning.Her sole focus now was on the placement exam. It was as if she couldn't hear the laughter, remaining absorbed in her studies.Jaden, hearing his classmates' discussions, turned to glance at Isabella with displeasure.The girl was slend

    Isabella entered the exam room and found her assigned seat according to her exam ticket number.To her surprise, Jaden was seated right behind her.Jaden didn’t even glance at her, acting as if she was invisible.Isabella was about to sit down but hesitated.The previous two incidents were clearly Jaden's doing. Would he give up so easily after failing?She remained standing, and Jaden looked up at her, seemingly anxious about her not sitting down.Isabella's suspicions were confirmed—something was definitely wrong with the seat.She inspected the desk and chair closely but found nothing unusual at first.Looking again more carefully, she noticed a barely visible thin line on one of the chair legs, as if it had been tampered with.Isabella smirked slightly, realizing Jaden’s amateurish plan.

    The mid-exam disruption caused by Jaden's broken glasses prevented him from receiving outside information. His constant fiddling with the glasses was a desperate attempt to regain the lost signal. The electronic device's red light leaking through the cracked frame was what caught Mr. Brown's attention.The entire exam hall buzzed with whispers and shock.It turned out that this so-called top student had been cheating his way to high scores all along. The one who was once seen as a brilliant and privileged student had fallen from grace and was now despised by his peers."Such a fraud is disgusting! Ugh!" Someone almost jumped up to spit on him."Yeah, it's so unfair. We work so hard, day and night, shedding sweat and tears to prepare for exams, and he cheats his way to high scores.""This is outrageous. He should be expelled and disqualified from the college entrance exams."

    The class erupted into a chorus of discussions, voices raising uncontrollably."I was shocked when I saw the list this morning. I never thought Isabella would be the top scorer this time.""How is this possible? Wasn't she the one who scored zero on the college entrance exam? Now she's got perfect scores? Unbelievable.""I heard her college entrance exam scores were actually the highest, but her interview scored zero. The school’s record only showed her interview score, omitting her written exam results.""Wow, so Isabella is the real top student!"Some still doubted, "Maybe she cheated too. With how advanced cheating methods are these days, who knows? She can't be lucky every time. She'll slip up eventually, just like Jaden did."Isabella finally understood why everyone had been staring at her earlier—they already knew the exam results.

Therefore, she didn’t visit the Knight’s training camp as often and returned to school to study.The entrance interview for the Aetheron Film Academy typically involves three teachers and two senior students as assistants. However, when Isabella arrived at the venue, she was surprised to find that the seniors assisting this year were familiar faces.Samuel and Cynthia stood beside the three interview teachers, looking like a perfect match with their impressive looks.Generally, the performing arts program at the film academy has multiple phases, including a first and second round for elements like dialogue, performance, and vocal skills. All these stages are completed in a single day to prevent any potential interference, such as bribing the teachers.Aft

    “Uncle, I need you to help me check on someone. There’s a trainee named Cecilia at the Knight training camp.” Lucius’s voice grew angry as he mentioned her name, and he instructed Lysander coldly.“Is something wrong? Did that little wife of yours get bullied again?” Without needing much context, Lysander immediately guessed that Lucius’s anger and attention to detail must be due to something happening to his wife.“She withdrew at the last moment before the competition. Cecilia schemed to make her give up. People like her, who play dirty, don’t deserve to stay at the Knight training camp. She’ll only bring chaos,” Lucius stated, believing Lysander would understand that Cecilia could not remain there.Meanwhile, Cecilia successfully secured first place in the afternoon competition, guaranteeing her a spot in Bryan’s film.However, Bryan himself was not present at the finals that afternoon.

    After Isabella left, Cecilia wasted no time stepping forward. "Director Wade, it was our fault. Karrie was on the phone with a friend, and he happens to be called Lucius too. Isabella thought it was her boyfriend, and that’s why she ran off. She got jealous and left the competition in a hurry."While Bryan had been speaking with Isabella, Cecilia and Karrie had been eavesdropping the whole time. So, as soon as Isabella left without an explanation, Cecilia seized the chance to pretend to defend her. In reality, she only made the situation worse.Cecilia assumed that Bryan would be displeased to hear that Isabella abandoned such a golden opportunity for a man. But to her surprise, Bryan saw right through the situation.Unlike Cecilia, Bryan knew that Isabella’s boyfriend was indeed Lucius from the Knight Group. Their relationship was well-known, and her concern was understandable. When Bryan recalled Isabella’s words

    Bryan had already made up his mind to cast Isabella as the lead in his new movie. But who would have thought that halfway through the competition, Isabella would suddenly withdraw, running off the stage without a word?Bryan felt as if his heart had left with her. After all, she was the actress he had chosen!Frowning, he watched Isabella's retreating figure and found himself instinctively following her to find out what was going on.Previously, he had heard that Isabella couldn't swim, which was why he had set the rules as he did. Yet, not only could she swim, but she swam exceptionally well, securing the first place.This showed that she must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.She seemed like someone who would work hard for her dreams, and Bryan admired that.So what could have caused Isabella to withdraw at the last moment?

    Fortunately, there were lifeguards on duty. Upon seeing the situation, one jumped into the water to rescue the struggling competitor.Once the person was pulled from the water, Isabella and Masha realized that it was actually Karrie who had nearly drowned.It was said that those who drowned often knew how to swim, but Karrie had become overly nervous after entering the water. Her calf cramped up, preventing her from extending her movements, and she was unable to swim.The pool was two meters deep, and when she choked on water, she couldn’t breathe. In her struggle, water flooded her goggles, blurring her vision. All she could do was thrash about underwater, creating splashes as a desperate call for help.In this group match, Cecilia successfully took first place and advanced to the semi-finals, while Karrie, just as Isabella had predicted, cramped up mid-race and was eliminated.

    A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the competition deadline arrived.It’s quite odd to use a swimming competition to select a movie lead; this unconventional method could only come from someone like Bryan Wade, who doesn’t play by the rules.Many participants would be taking part in the selection, so they couldn’t all compete at once; instead, a scheduled format would be followed.Each person would swim in small groups, with a baseline score set for each. The first round, known as the preliminary round, would eliminate half of the competitors.Next came the semi-finals, which would eliminate two-thirds of the remaining participants. Finally, those who advanced to the finals would compete once more to determine the top winner.This competition format was fair and just, leaving no room for doubt.Bryan Wade would be seated as a judge, watchin

    On their way back to the dorm, Isabella mentioned the casting news she overheard about Director Wade. She thought out loud, “It was strange when the teacher talked about it in the office. Bryan Wade usually finds actors on the streets, so why did he come to our academy this time?”Yes, Bryan Wade was like a talent scout; whenever he found someone who fit his character requirements, he would immediately invite them to star in his films. He couldn’t stand the influx of actors from the academy, who he viewed as mass-produced products.However, this time, he specifically came to the training camp, stating he wanted to select a lead from among their group of students.This news didn’t just surprise Isabella; it puzzled both Cecilia and Karrie as well. Even Isabella found it strange when she first heard it.Lucius rubbed his nose and replied, “Maybe he’s changed his mind.”Br

    Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Cecilia and Karrie exchanged glances. They had tried to outsmart Isabella several times, but they always ended up losing, which was incredibly frustrating. They wanted to regain their dignity after each defeat.However, every time they were exposed by Isabella, it left them feeling embarrassed, and for a moment, Cecilia and Karrie didn’t know how to handle her.Now that Isabella had come to them with such a proposal, after a moment of hesitation, Cecilia looked into Isabella’s eyes and asked, her attractive lips slightly parted, “How do we compete? What are the rules?”Though they were in the same class, their specializations were diverse. They studied performance, music, dance, and various other courses that made up their daily lessons.“Aren’t we in swimming class right now? I heard this training camp will have a competition to find the fastest swimmer, who wi

    "But this watch isn't yours, so how can it be returned to you?" Isabella noticed a fleeting look of panic in Cecilia's eyes and immediately understood.It seemed that Cecilia was fully aware that her so-called expensive watch was not worth 8.6 million; even though it was a high imitation, it would still cost at least 2,000 to 3,000.However, now that Cecilia had claimed the South African pink diamond watch was so valuable, she couldn’t possibly admit in front of so many people that it wasn’t worth 8.6 million.Especially since Cecilia had previously threatened to call the police, everyone believed her claims about the watch being extremely expensive."If you're not going to scan it, I’ll do it myself," Isabella said, her expression unyielding as she fixed her gaze on Cecilia and Karrie.She had always adhered to the principle of not offending others if they did not offe
