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

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

Lucius gave her a gentle look, as soothing as a spring breeze, instantly helping her escape her anxiety.Ignoring Regina's hidden resentment, Isabella smiled and made eye contact with Lucius.Regina, almost driven to fury by Isabella's disregard, saw an opportunity when she noticed the wine stains on Isabella’s dress. A cunning idea crossed her mind.Regina quickly took Isabella’s arm and said with a concerned tone, “Isabella, your dress is so stained. How can you attend the party like this? Come with me, and we’ll get you changed into the dress I’ve prepared for you.”Regina inwardly sneered: ‘Hmph, now you have no excuse to refuse. If you wear that dirty dress to the party, it will look like you're intentionally tarnishing Carlos’ reputation. This trick is meant to trap you. Let’s see how you escape this one.’Carlos nodded in agreement and urged, “Go ahead a
