2024-10-29 12:05:34Cade 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

Isabella inwardly mocked her father. His mood changed faster than flipping pages in a book.At first, she too had doubts about the painting, finding it hard to appreciate. However, she had always held an unspoken trust in Lucius’s words. Therefore, when the painting sold for 51 million, she wasn’t overly surprised.Isabella gave Lucius a knowing smile, which he returned with a similar expression.Lucius walked over to Carlos to explain. Although Carlos was still astonished and had a few reservations, the genuine painting before him overwhelmed his doubts, and he chose not to question further.On the other hand, Cynthia, still somewhat naive, couldn’t hide her burning jealousy. She was itching to rush forward and tear off Isabella’s façade, to make her a laughingstock in front of their father and the guests.Cynthia was deeply convinced that everything about Isabella was fake, a desperate attempt to cover up her deceit. How could someone as poor as

Isabella popped a cherry into her mouth, puzzled as she stared at the empty space where Samuel’s garden painting had been. Resting her chin on her hand, she muttered to herself, “It’s strange. Why did Dad have the painting removed? And why did everyone leave quietly?”Lucius glanced at the side room’s door and already had a clear understanding.He smiled meaningfully, clinking glasses with Isabella and playfully winking, “Looks like Samuel is in for a tough time.”Isabella’s curiosity was instantly piqued, and she pressed, “Why? Cynthia went to great lengths to get him from me, and my dad and stepmother are so pleased with him.”Lucius, with a touch of disdain, curled his lip and said, “He’s just a show-off. Your taste must be unparalleled if you think such a worthless man was your ex. Ugh!”He made a face of utter contempt, puffed out his chest, and proudly tapped it, subtly indicating to Isabella: ‘A handsome, refined gentleman like me is rig

When Carlos just entered the banquet hall, a few foreign guests approached, looking anxious.The butler politely greeted them and reported to Carlos, “Sir, these guests have come specifically for the art auction. Their interpreter is stuck in traffic and won’t make it to the banquet hall for a while. They heard that Young Master Cade has returned from abroad and knows many languages, so they would like him to temporarily act as their interpreter, allowing them to participate in the auction.”Carlos was very willing. His birthday parties always included such art auctions, which had gained a certain reputation in the industry. Foreign art enthusiasts often attended to find pieces they liked.Since they were his guests and it could help the auction, he was more than happy to oblige.Carlos quickly introduced the foreign guests to Cade and nudged him.Cade, who had been ent

Isabella had done nothing, yet she was suddenly cast as the villain—a sharp-tongued, petty woman with no trace of ladylike grace.Just as she was about to explain, the servant, emboldened, clung to her leg, crying, "Miss, I swear I didn’t mean to dirty your dress! How could I afford to replace such an expensive gown? Even if I sold my house, it wouldn’t be enough! If you dock my pay, what will my family live on?"Isabella nearly cursed aloud—she hadn’t said a single word this whole time! Yet, with the servant’s pitiful display, it seemed as if she had ruined her life.Moved by the servant’s tearful performance, the onlookers began to criticize Isabella:"Does she really think she’s some high-and-mighty young lady? Is it necessary to bully a servant like this?""How heartless. Can’t she just let it go? There’s no trace of dignity in her.""Such a p

However, just as Isabella finished speaking, the manager who had just expelled Cynthia and Samuel approached again. This time, his face was beaming with smiles, completely different from the nervous, sweaty demeanor he had earlier. He cheerfully said to Isabella, “You’re a student from the Aetheron Film Academy, aren’t you?”“Yes,” Isabella nodded, unsure of what the manager wanted. Did he intend to say she didn’t comply with some rule and throw her and Lucius out as well?“What’s the matter?” Isabella asked warily, frowning at the manager.“Well, since it’s exam day, we have a special event going on. We’re holding a lottery for students from the Aetheron Film Academy who dine here, and the prizes are quite generous. Would you like to participate?” The manager said, placing a large lottery box in front of Isabella.

After bidding farewell to Derek, Isabella returned home. During her exam preparations, Lucius, as a family member of a candidate, had also put in a lot of effort. Today, they must celebrate properly—dinner at a restaurant!Isabella had already mentioned this to Lucius; as soon as she got home, she would take him out to eat.Who would have thought that when she opened her phone, she found a message from Lucius saying he had already driven to the school gate to wait for her to go eat together.“Your car seems quite expensive, doesn’t it?” Isabella didn’t know much about car brands, but the emblem on Lucius’s car depicted two little figures holding up a small fork, looking quite noble.So, she guessed that Lucius was probably driving a pretty nice car.“I’m not sure about the specifics; it’s just arranged by the company,” Lucius replied. He had been busy with some matters la

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Isabella's cold laugh, her eyes filled with complex emotions. “If you had just told me what you wanted, I would have given it to you. So if you really like him, just say it, and I won’t hesitate to let you have him. Why bother tarnishing your reputation as a mistress by doing such a disgraceful thing? My dear sister, you’ve truly disappointed me.”“Anyone who can be seduced by a mere glance from you, do you think he’s worth anything? Thank you for helping me identify trash!”“Isabella, don’t say that! He... he’s not trash. We just got caught up in the moment.” Cynthia was at a loss, completely unsure of how to perform. Although she was supposed to be the supporting actress, she felt like she was being led around by Isabella.“You mean you were momentarily confused, right? In front of so many people, you can openly hold hands. What about when I'm not

Time flew by in the training camp, and in a month, Isabella will take her exams for the Aetheron Film Academy, including an interview test. 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
