2024-10-31 10:06:12Carlos 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

The servant’s tears flowed like a river, her wails making it seem as though the sky was falling, evoking sympathy from the crowd. Isabella became the target of even more criticism, as Regina secretly rejoiced, thinking that this man’s interference only pushed Isabella further into the spotlight of disgrace.But Lucius remained calm and composed, as cold as ice. He patiently waited for the servant to finish her tearful accusations before responding in a frigid tone, "Go apologize to the Rivera family’s mistress and accept your punishment."The servant’s tear-streaked face stiffened, then twisted into a sly smile as she retorted, "The master ordered the young lady to apologize to the madam. I wouldn’t dare steal that honor."A dark cloud settled over Lucius’s expression, his eyes sharp as blades. "You deliberately pretended to slip, spilling wine on the young lady, which led to the mistress being scolded. Shouldn’t you apo

The maid covered her ears and burst into tears. It was all over for her now.She glanced at Regina’s face, dark as a storm cloud, and her fierce eyes, like a beast ready to devour. Terrified, the maid could only sob, “No one instructed me. I just can’t stand Isabella. I wanted to humiliate her. She’s just a country bumpkin pretending to be a refined lady, lording over us servants. I deliberately wanted to make her look bad.”The guests in the hall gasped in disbelief. It was indeed a strange world they lived in.From now on, people would need to be more careful when hiring servants. It would be a misfortune to bring in a housemaid who would plot to disgrace her master and tarnish the family’s reputation.However, it seemed there was more to this incident. The maid was clearly too frightened to speak the whole truth, afraid of offending someone.Carlos was both angry and humiliated. On such an important day, with so many distinguished guests p

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
