Chapter 787

• Isabella’s eyes welled with tears as she bit her lip, appearing as though she had something to say but was struggling to voice it. Her hesitant expression and fragile demeanor only made her seem more pitiful.
• Sensing the tension, Madam Hudson sighed and took it upon herself to explain. “Mr. Simon, at first, Mr. Logan recognized Miss Liza’s talent and wanted to take her on as his apprentice. However, she refused. Isabella, being her friend, simply tried to persuade her to reconsider. But unexpectedly…” She trailed off, shaking her head as if the memory was too troubling to recall.
• Then, with an air of helplessness, she continued, “Who would have thought Miss Liza would take offense? She even claimed that Mr. Logan was unworthy of being her mentor. As an elder in the art world, Mr. Logan naturally felt disrespected, so he reprimanded her in public. But instead of taking responsibility, Miss Liza went and complained to his own mentor, Senior Knight. Misunderstanding the situation, Senior Knight assumed that Mr. Logan was bullying a junior and, in his anger, expelled him from his circle. Isabella merely wanted to be his student, but now… everything has turned into a mess.”
