Chapter 125

My mind is a bit fuzzy... I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

Victoria's gaze swept over Isabella's abdomen, forcing her anger down.

But she still found everything about Isabella irritating.

"I'll let it go this time, for the child's sake. Your taste truly needs improvement. How else will you fit into high society? It's embarrassing to be seen with you!"

Isabella's eyes suddenly lit up—did this mean she was being accepted into the Roscente family?

She immediately responded obediently, "Auntie, I will study hard."

Victoria pulled an invitation from her handbag. "Words are useless. Come with me to the ladies' tea tasting tomorrow. You need more exposure to develop better taste."

These so-called tea tastings were essentially social gatherings for wealthy matrons.

With tea culture flourishing recently, these elegant assemblies had gradually replaced traditional dessert parties.

Attendees didn't necessarily love tea, but they had to be able to discuss it knowledgeably.

Victoria didn't expect a miraculous transformation from Isabella, only that she wouldn't cause another public scene.

"This is a top-tier social event. Prepare properly. Don't embarrass me again!"

Isabella clutched the invitation tightly, assuring her repeatedly. "I will definitely do my homework beforehand."

"You'd better."

...

Outside the mall, Nina White smiled and patted Sophia's hand. "Thank you for accompanying me today."

"Shopping with you was a pleasure, Aunt Bai."

Sophia had also found clothes she liked.

"By the way, I have a favor to ask." Nina White clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, looking charming.

"What is it?"

"I'm hosting a tea tasting tomorrow. The tea master I hired suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized..." Nina White sighed helplessly. "I heard you are knowledgeable about tea. Could you possibly fill in? Just talk about tea culture and demonstrate the brewing process."

Though she hadn't seen Sophia's skills firsthand, Olivia Lopez had highly recommended her. She should be competent.

Nina White didn't need master-level expertise, just enough to maintain appearances.

Sophia considered for a moment. Seeing the eager expectation in the other woman's eyes, she finally nodded.
