Chapter 796

• Isabella stood frozen in place, her mind in turmoil as countless eyes bore into her. She bit her lip so hard that it bled, but she forced herself to remain composed. This was her last chance to salvage a shred of dignity.
• Simon, on the other hand, was slowly piecing everything together. He finally realized that Isabella hadn’t invited him to Li City just to admire the exhibition—she had intended to use him as a weapon to expose Liza for supposedly plagiarizing Hue Pete’s work. Instead of accusing Liza herself, she had planned to let him do it, avoiding direct involvement while still achieving her goal.
• If things had gone the way she expected, Simon wouldn’t have hesitated to call out plagiarism, even if it meant offending powerful figures. But reality had taken an unexpected turn—Liza wasn’t a fraud. She was Hue Pete herself.
