2024-10-26 19:04:06After saying this, Samuel, in his role as the Rivera family's prospective son-in-law, directed Lucius, "Lucius, we have many distinguished guests today, and the family is short-handed. It’s a bit of a hardship, but could you please help out in the kitchen?"
Seeing so many people ganging up on her, Isabella was trembling with anger.
This whole family had united against her, treating her like an outsider and insulting her.
Isabella was struggling to contain her rising sadness. She didn’t want anyone to see her vulnerability at this moment. Ignoring their words, she firmly pulled Lucius towards the door.
But Lucius held onto her arm and stood his ground, his expression calm. He said, "Bella, we’re not leaving. I’ll go to the kitchen and help. You go to the banquet."
Isabella looked up, her eyes rimmed with red, "But they..."
Even if Lucius had lost his memory, i

The phone rang, and Cynthia urged Isabella to hurry to the banquet hall.Isabella held up her long skirt and walked in high heels toward the banquet room. Since she wasn’t used to wearing high heels, her walk was a bit awkward.Along the way, a few servants looked at her in surprise, as if seeing her for the first time, their eyes following her until she was out of sight."Is that the eldest young lady who just passed by? She is more beautiful than a fairy...""Yes, it's the eldest young lady. She looks like a celestial being today!""She’s always beautiful, but she’s never dressed up so meticulously. Today, she looks simply out of this world."...Nervously, Isabella pushed open the door to the banquet hall, adjusted her steps, and tried to maintain a smile as she walked in.The banquet hall was lively, with clinking

Cynthia quickly followed Thalia’s lead and added, “So that’s what happened. Without the Rivera family, and with my dad cutting off her allowance, there’s no way she could afford such an expensive dress just from her small supporting roles...”She then fell silent, leaving a gap for Thalia to fill in the blanks.Sure enough, Thalia began speculating, just as Cynthia had intended. “If she’s dressed so nicely, it’s either a fake or she conned some man into buying it for her.”Seeing that her plan was working, Cynthia added another jab, “Thalia, my sister’s situation isn’t easy. To win some applause at these events, she’s been renting dresses and buying knock-offs. She’s racked up a lot of debt. It’s kind of pathetic, really.”Thalia’s anger flared up as she recalled how her own cushy job at Knight Entertainment had been ruined by Isabella. Her voice grew more agitated as she huffed, “Cynthia, you’ve put

Turnbull & Asser is a prestigious brand with over 130 years of history. Its legacy, combined with its exquisite craftsmanship, has earned it admiration and a loyal following across various circles. The brand’s reputation is so esteemed that it now exclusively tailors clothing for prime ministers, presidents, and royalty. Ordinary people, let alone the middle class, have little chance of acquiring such bespoke garments.When guests initially admired Isabella’s stunning gown, they couldn’t identify its brand. But once a fashion industry giant confirmed its authenticity, there was no doubt that the dress was genuine.The room buzzed with amazement. The fact that the Rivera family could commission a custom gown from Turnbull & Asser hinted at extraordinary connections—perhaps even ties to prime ministers, presidents, or royalty. Thalia, who had been basking in the crowd’s mockery of Isabella, was suddenly blindsided by the fashion mogul’s endorsement. Furious, she retorted, “What authent

Cade had a nonchalant expression on his face. "Dad, you don't get it. I'm going for style here. This is what's trendy and fashionable. I’m not about to wear those old-fashioned suits like you guys.""This is a formal occasion! How can you show up dressed like this?" Carlos’s brows furrowed in anger. A bunch of kids, and none of them know how to present themselves properly.Regina quickly pulled Cade aside, trying to persuade him. "Come on, be reasonable. There are many distinguished guests at today’s banquet. You can't just dress however you want. Go ask the butler to help you change."Then she turned to Carlos, explaining, "Carlos, Cade’s been abroad for too long, he’s gotten used to their ways and forgotten his manners. I'll talk to him properly later."Carlos shifted his gaze to Cynthia, his expression cold. "Who was that woman spreading rumors about Isabella wearing fake goods? Was she so

“Maybe the eldest daughter is either too poor to afford a gift or has some resentment toward her father and doesn’t want to give anything,” someone whispered.“That doesn’t make sense. They’re both Mr. Rivera’s daughters. How could one be wealthy and the other not?”These comments reached Carlos’s ears, making him restless. He thought to himself that he should have given Isabella a painting to save face and handle the situation better. Now, it was causing unnecessary controversy.Regina and Cynthia were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, reveling in how Isabella was further embarrassing Carlos. Although Carlos had previously expelled Isabella, he still cared somewhat because she was his daughter. When he learned that she had taken refuge in the ancestral home, he felt a bit more at ease.Despite this, Carlos was furious over the scandalous photos of Isabella that had shamed the family, and he

Carlos felt a mix of incredulity and anxiety. On one hand, he was curious about what was inside the box. On the other hand, he worried that if the gift turned out to be subpar, it would be a source of ridicule.Regina watched Lucius with a hint of amusement, seemingly impressed. In reality, she was thinking, ‘What can a penniless drifter possibly offer? Just wait for them to make fools of themselves.’Cynthia and Samuel were also eager to see what would happen. Even if Isabella did produce a gift, it was likely to be something cheap she’d picked up from a street vendor.Lucius, noticing Isabella’s hesitation, encouraged her with a light-hearted tone, “Mr. Rivera is waiting for your gift. Why not open it?”He gave Isabella a reassuring glance: ‘Trust me!’Remembering that Lucius had never disappointed her before, Isabella quickly opened the gift box.

Isabella didn’t want to deal with this petty troublemaker at all. Ignoring Cade's words, she continued talking to Lucius.Cade, irritated by her attitude, shouted loudly, “Look at the grand paintings my second sister and brother-in-law gave Dad. And you bring this kind of trash? You’re clearly trying to embarrass our family!”As he spoke, he roughly pushed Isabella’s slender shoulder.Cade was very strong, and his push nearly sent Isabella tumbling off her chair.Lucius stood up immediately, shielding Isabella with his arms. He abruptly looked up, fixing a sharp, piercing gaze on Cade that was as intense as a razor-sharp arrow, slicing through Cade with a fierce intensity.Cade was so frightened by his stare that he took a few steps back.Lucius’ eyes reminded Cade of a ferocious beast, brimming with the ruthless and dominating aura of a king of beasts.For a moment, Cade thought Lucius might actually kill him.However, Lucius

So, the socialites turned their attention to Bryden Jones again.If anyone else had bid 40 million, they would have been ridiculed as crazy.But this was the esteemed Jones family’s young master, and someone quickly and tactfully reminded him, “Mr. Jones, don’t you see the painting? How could it possibly be worth 40 million?”Bryden Jones replied calmly, “This painting is a long-lost masterpiece by the 19th-century European genius Vincent van Gogh. It’s an early work from his time in the Netherlands, and it has been lost to the world for many years. Forty million is already the lowest estimate.”The entire room was in an uproar. No one expected that this child-like doodle was actually a divine work by Vincent van Gogh.Many of Van Gogh's early works, especially from his time in the Netherlands, have been lost

As if reading her thoughts, Lucius embraced her and held her face, looking into her eyes. “I love you,” he admitted, his gaze unwavering. “I always have. Ever since the first time we met, I admired your strength and your passion. I wanted to be someone you could rely on, someone who would stand by you, even if it meant hiding who I was.”Isabella searched his eyes for any sign of deception, but all she found was raw honesty. The realization settled within her like a weight being lifted. The anger that had flared between them now seemed trivial compared to the bond they had forged through adversity. “No more secrets, okay?”“Agreed,” he said, relief flooding his features. “I promise to be honest with you from here on out. And please don’t worry about the Rivera Corporation. I’ll help you resolve everything.”“You know?” Isabella blinked, startled once again.“I said I was on a business trip because I’m helping you solve the problems at the Rivera Corporation.

When Isabella finally finished her work and could take a moment to rest, she remembered that someone was waiting for her at home. She quickly took out her phone to send a message.She had expected to find numerous missed calls and messages from Lucius, given his personality, but to her surprise, there was only one message.“Bella, I’ll be busy traveling with my boss for the next few days, so don’t worry about me.”Of course, Lucius had his own life and couldn’t revolve entirely around her. Yet, for some reason, Isabella felt uneasy upon reading that message.As fatigue set in, she had no choice but to rest in the office for a while.She slept soundly until night fell and was awakened by Nate shaking her.“Miss, there’s a banquet tonight where you need to attend as the representative of the Rivera Corporation. We can't let others see us in a bad light; it’s best if you can bring in some investment for the company,” Nate said, immediately arranging for a stylist and a wardrobe for Isabe

"Are you sure it’s not needed?"“Miss, what do you mean?” Nate, perceptive and sharp, immediately understood after hearing Isabella’s words—Regina was involved.Isabella nodded and said to Nate, “Before, when I was slandered, I had a huge argument with my father because I discovered that Regina was behind the losses of the Rivera Corporation. But I only heard fragments of her conversation; I had no evidence.”“I’ll go retrieve the accounts! As long as there are financial transactions, we should be able to uncover the truth,” Nate said, quickly heading towards the company.After all, with Carlos in his current state, only the doctors and nurses could help him now.Once Nate left, no one else appeared outside the hospital room.Isabella dialed Regina’s number.

As Isabella listened to their conversation, a realization struck her. She stepped forward, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Is this the woman you saw?”Barely able to contain her excitement, she pulled out a photo of her mother and handed it to the person who had been speaking.“Yes, yes, that’s her!” The person, startled by Isabella’s sudden appearance, nodded in recognition. After all, such a beautiful woman was unforgettable after just one meeting.“I clearly remember that she was kidnapped by a man living in this building, and Regina was being chased by debt collectors. She even tried to confront that man, provoking him and putting herself at risk with those pursuing her for money.”“Oh, isn’t that just typical of her? Deep in debt and not even trying to earn her way out,” one person scoffed.“I can’t believe it!” Isabella clenched her fists in anger, her eyes wide with disbelief.Her mother had only mentioned her benefactor once,

“You don’t even share the Knight last name, and you dare to argue with me in front of my parents, and my own nephew? You really have some nerve!” Giselle coldly shot a glance at Lydia, not holding back her disdain for her. When it came to matters of interest, she didn’t even want to pretend anymore.“What do you mean I don’t share the last name? I’ve carried a Knight family member in my belly! My poor Lily is still in the hospital, all alone, receiving treatment while her mother is being bullied like this. It’s really inhumane!” Lydia put on her usual act, crying and making a scene, appealing to everyone’s sympathy for her sick daughter.Lydia was merely the daughter of a subordinate of Lucius’ father—Jay. At a banquet, she climbed the social ladder and successfully became Jay’s mistress, even getting pregnant.She gave birth to a daughter, Lily Knight, but the child was born frail and weak.

“Did they send you as a negotiator?” Hearing Lysander mention the Knight family, Lucius couldn't help but sneer, dismissively saying, “They’re all useless leeches clinging to me. None of them genuinely care about my well-being.”The reason Lucius had been gravely injured in front of Isabella was recently revealed to be the work of a business competitorBut at that time, some members of the Knight family weren’t in a hurry to find him; they even tried to take advantage of his absence to seize control of the Knight Group.The ‘useless’ people Lucius referred to included his stepmother—Lydia, his aunt—Giselle, and Lydia's brother, Hans.They all had their eyes on the Knight Group, clearly incompetent and unable to do anything, yet they harbored grand ambitions of taking it for themselves.Over the years, Lucius had cleaned up many of their messes.Fo

Seeing that the crowd was about to be won over by Isabella, Samuel couldn’t hold back his frustration any longer. He turned and walked away, almost fleeing, and his back looked utterly defeated.“I do not regret choosing Aetheron Film Academy; it has always been my dream school because it is open-minded and inclusive, a place where all aspiring performers wish to be. So today, I will not shy away from being broad-minded and accommodating of everyone’s opinions. Now that I stand on this stage, I am not just myself; I am embodying a character whose image is open to any judgment. Thus, I welcome all your doubts.”“However, I also hope everyone can think critically and analyze dialectically. It’s best to bring strong evidence before questioning me. When you defame me, don’t just follow the crowd; have your own insights. If you have grievances against me, feel free to confront me directly; I am never afraid.”“Lastly, I

Clearly, Isabella's powerful presence had intimidated them.In the audience, surrounded by so many people, it was easy for them to hurl defamatory remarks and throw a few paper balls without fear of being immediately identified by Isabella. They felt shielded by their large numbers.But when Isabella asked who among them could replace her, no one dared to speak up. Many of them bowed their heads, afraid to meet her gaze, fearing that if they made eye contact with her, they might be called up to the stage.However, not everyone present was without courage. Some were accustomed to bullying Isabella under the cover of numbers, while others genuinely disliked her due to the rumors circulating about her. One of these was Molly.Glancing around, Molly noticed that those who had thrown things the hardest were silent, not daring to contradict Isabella. Without fear, she stood up, becoming the center

After wrapping up the matter, Isabella went to Aetheron Film Academy for classes.Today was her opening ceremony, and due to her excellent grades, she had been chosen to represent the freshmen and give a speech.Such things had always been routine for Isabella.Having excelled academically throughout her life, Isabella was not intimidated at all; she delivered her speech as the representative of the new students with great fluency. “I’m very happy to enter Aetheron Film Academy and become a diligent student of Aetheron. In the near future, we will surely be the creators of this glorious era.”However, just as she was concluding her speech, someone in the audience threw a rotten egg at her, hitting her squarely.Wearing a pure white dress that day, the foul-smelling egg not only covered her in a terrible odor but also instantly stained her dress, causing the crowd to eru
