Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Isabella’s eyes sparkled with determination as she said firmly, “Though I never had the privilege of being one of Master Jasmine’s in–person students, in my heart, she will always be my mentor.”

“I will never forget the encouragement she gave me back. then...”

Isabella took out a gift Master Jasmine had given her years ago.

Master Jasmine was astonished. “It’s you?”

She examined Isabella in disbelief. “It’s been years, and you’ve grown into such an outstanding designer.”

Isabella smiled bashfully. “It’s all thanks to the inspirational words you gifted me back then that I was able to find my way again.”

Master Jasmine froze for a moment, then her eyes reddened as she choked up. “Thea, I genuinely admire you. If you hadn’t given up on this path, I believe we would have been the most in- sync mentor–student pair in the world.”

Isabella’s face turned pale. “Master, what do you mean by that?

Master Jasmine was stunned as she stood up. “Really? But your husband said...”

Isabella instantly understood–it must have been Nathan Hill tarnishing her reputation to elevate Victoria. “Master, he doesn’t speak for me. I will never give up on my career.”

Master Jasmine’s face lit up with excitement. “That’s wonderful.”

She hugged Isabella tightly.

That day, Isabella and Master Jasmine had a heartfelt conversation. They talked extensively, from fashion design to personal interests. As an elder, Master Jasmine also showed great concern for Isabella’s personal life, knowing that a student’s professional future was often intertwined with their family and marriage.

Isabella casually revealed her failed marriage and her determination to focus on her career.

After listening, Master Jasmine sighed deeply. “I thought Victoria was resilient and determined. While I didn’t like her overly flashy style, I was moved by her perseverance. Little did I know that behind her success was your selfless sacrifice.”

To her surprise, the very next day, Master Jasmine’s assistant delivered a letter. In it, Master Jasmine announced her decision to accept Isabella as her only in–person disciple. She instructed Isabella to drop out of her current program and prepare to accompany her to the United States after the New Year.

Isabella was overjoyed.

The assistant shared in her happiness. “Miss Thea, Master Jasmine looked Into your background after returning last night. Once she confirmed your story, she immediately decided to take you on as her student. You’ve finally made it.”

Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes as she bowed to the assistant. “Thank you for delivering this amazing news. I’m truly grateful.”

The assistant smiled and gave her a word of advice. “Miss Thea, I should remind you–Master Jasmine is extremely strict. You’d better use this holiday period to take care of anything you want to do. Once you go to the U.S., you’ll be very busy.”

“Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind,” Isabella replied with a smile.

Ava, thrilled for her, said, “Sis, now that you have some free time, why not think about any wishes you’d like to fulfill? Let’s use this opportunity to complete them, so you won’t have any regrets.”

Looking into Ava’s innocent and pure eyes, which were so different from her lonely demeanor when sitting by the windowsill at night, Isabella made a decision.

“Ava, go buy me a piece of fabric. It doesn’t matter how much it costs–just pick something you like.”

Although puzzled, Ava nodded obediently. “Alright, I’ll go right away.”

Shortly after Ava left, Isabella received a text message from Nathan Hill.

She frowned. Was he so idle that he had time to dig up her contact information?

After a moment’s hesitation, she unlocked her phone.

“Bella, Nathan is hosting a celebration banquet for me tonight. I hope you can come.
