Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Chapter 51 A remark from Isabella caused a huge stir.

Guillermo was furious and embarrassed. He pointed at Isabella and said, “Who are you? I don’t even know you, and you’re probably not someone important in the fashion world. Do you have any evidence that the fabric on Theodore’s clothes is from the Jasmine team?”

Mrs. Sanchez quickly chimed in, “Exactly–who knows where this wild girl came from. I remember we didn’t invite anyone like you, a nobody.”

Theodore stood tall, his posture protective as he shielded the delicate Isabella behind him. “She’s my invited guest. Does my stepmother have any objections?”

Mrs. Sanchez’s face darkened. After all, this was Theodore’s coming–of–age ceremony, and he was the main character. It was completely normal for him to invite a few friends for support.

“Theodore, you’re still young. Be careful about the company you keep. This girl is so young; how could she possibly recognize the beauty of internationally limited high–end fabrics? Don’t mistake these unknown frauds for big names in the fashion world.”

As soon as Mrs. Sanchez finished speaking, her people began whispering quietly, “Could this girl be a pawn Theodore invited to support him? Was everything she said prearranged with him?”

Isabella watched as Guillermo and his mother dug themselves deeper and decided it was time to make them admit defeat.

She took her business card out of her bag and handed it to Guillermo. “I am Jasmine’s first disciple. My name is Hyacinth.”

Guillermo staggered visibly, but being too stubborn to admit his mistake, he still refused to acknowledge that he hadn’t recognized the top–quality fabric on Theodore’s clothes.

He looked at Isabella suspiciously. “You claim to be Jasmine’s disciple? How can we be sure? We have other students of Jasmine here. I’ll call her disciple over and have you two meet. Then we’ll know if you’re fake or real.”

Guillermo scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on Nathan and Victoria in the corner.

He walked up to Victoria and invited her, “Miss Victoria, as everyone knows, you’re Jasmine’s student. Do you recognize this Miss Hyacinth on stage? Is she really your senior?”

Nathan and Guillermo were childhood friends and had close business ties, always sticking together.

Naturally, Victoria was eager to help Guillermo.

She confidently strode over, circled around Isabella, and asked, “Can I take off your sunglasses?”

Isabella hesitated, unsure because she didn’t want to reveal her high–profile identity before her divorce from Nathan. She feared that if the Hill family realized she was a cash cow, they might not let her leave easily.

Although Theodore was young, his demeanor exuded the authority of an adult man.

Victoria’s face flushed red.

Nathan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He didn’t take Theodore seriously and said coldly, “Theodore, is this how you treat your guests?”

Theodore smirked, showing no respect to Nathan. “If I remember correctly, I don’t think I ever sent Mr. Hill an invitation, did I? I don’t know you very well, so why did Mr. Hill come uninvited? What’s your agenda?”

Nathan was speechless.

Guillermo was enraged. “It was me who invited Nathan here! Theodore, how can you be so rude to a guest?”

Theodore coldly stared at Guillermo. “Big brother, this is my coming–of–age ceremony, not yours. All the guests here were personally invited by me, Theodore. They all have the gold cards I distributed. Please, don’t try to steal the spotlight.”

Guillermo laughed loudly. “Theodore, without my support, do you think so many guests would come? How many important people would show up for this pathetic banquet?”

Theodore frowned. “What’s so pathetic about it?”

Guillermo pointed at the calligraphy and paintings around them.

“Look at these old calligraphy pieces, look at the decorations. They’re worthless. If I hadn’t invited people to make your coming–of–age ceremony shine, your banquet today would be no different from a village feast.”

Theodore chuckled, unable to hold back. “Ignorance is truly terrifying.”

He looked up, disdainful, and said, “Do you know how much the calligraphy and paintings in front of you are worth?”
