Theodore was delighted. âBella, Iâll be waiting for you.â

of the business world.
As the saying goes, high and low culture coexist, which seemed to wash away the vulgarity of the business world.
The business people at the venue scrambled to ingratiate themselves with them.
Guillermoâs invited friends seemed to have switched sides, all eager to flatter Theodore.
Guillermo and Mrs. Sanchez were left out in the cold, furious.
In a corner, the Sanchez familyâs father and son stood in the crowd. Sanchezâs father was silent, his face dark.

Guillermoâs plan has fallen through; I wonder if he will remember this.â
Sanchezâs father sneered. âTheodore isnât just a child of the Sanchez family; heâs also the grandson of the Brownâs. His resources are naturally much stronger than Guillermoâs.
However, if we only talk about talent, Guillermo may not necessarily lose to Theodore. When the talent show happens, Iâ m sure Guillermo will turn things around.â
âWell, letâs wait and see,â Old Master Sanchez said.
At the talent show, Guillermo put all his effort into performing a piano solo, which was a great success.
But throughout the event, Theodore never once took the stage.
Guillermo was both disappointed and furious. He cornered Theodore in the back and demanded, âWhy didnât you perform?â
Theodore, with an air of arrogance, replied, âWhy should I go up? To perform like a circus monkey, just to show off? Big brother, if you like being a monkey, I donât.â
Guillermoâs face turned as if it had been ground into the floor by Theodore, utterly humiliated.

âYoung Master Theodore is so young but has already invited figures from the red circle. Truly, the younger generation is impressive.â

Old Master Sanchezâs friends expressed their envy.
Old Master Sanchez smiled, âIâll gradually pass on my responsibilities to Theodore. My Theodore will officially take the business path, and I hope you uncles will support him.â
Old Master Sanchez was clearly paving the way for Theodore, which left his father feeling uneasy, and Guillermoâs face even darker.
Isabella had handed the divorce agreement to Nathan many days ago.
But Nathan hadnât responded at all.
This made Isabella anxious.
She vaguely sensed that Nathan wasnât going to easily agree to her divorce request.

Ava, puzzled, asked, âSister, could it be that he doesnât want a divorce because he still has some feelings for you?â
Isabella sighed, âItâs not that he has feelings for me. He just... doesnât know how to respect me.
In his eyes, Iâm just a beggar with nothing. He gives me shelter and lets me go to school, and thatâs already a huge favor.
I should be grateful to him. Everything I do for him is just what I should do. I have no right to leave him.â
