EXCLUSIVE ITC SPOILER: The Auguste Armand-Teyssier Bombshell – Discover the True Link Between the Institute and the Jourdain Family! 💣

Teyssier’s Dramatic Turn of Events: The Jourdains, Former Guardians of the Institute

Teyssier ‘s renowned intuition strikes again, and this time he unearths a family secret that Auguste Armand and Clotilde have tried to bury. While Teyssier attempts to establish a partnership with the Jourdain family for their hotel, he delves into the siblings’ past to understand Clotilde’s reluctance and fierce hatred.

In questioning Jeanne Jourdain , he makes a shocking discovery that changes the Institute’s perspective: the Jourdains were not simply friends of Auguste, nor newly arrived hotel owners. They were the original caretakers of the château that now houses the Auguste Armand Institute, and lived there between 1992 and 1994. Léon Jourdain, the father, was an employee of Auguste. Therefore, Clotilde’s motivation is not merely professional rivalry, but a much deeper story, linked to the very foundations of the school.

The Deed of Donation: The Secret That Explains Everything

The real revelation, the one that explodes the mystery, comes when Andréa Jourdain, panicked by Teyssier’s investigation and the possibility of seeing their secret revealed, tries to destroy a notarized document .

Teyssier, the Institute’s Black Baron, catches Andréa red-handed and manages to retrieve the half-burned deed of gift. This document reveals the terrible truth: it was Auguste Armand who gave the hotel to the Jourdain family! Far from a story of betrayal where the Jourdains stole the hotel, as Clotilde had implied, the establishment is in fact a gift from Auguste to the Jourdain family.

The link between the Jourdain and Armand families is therefore one of debt, reparation, or a heavy secret . The hotel is not the result of an old family fortune, but a gift from Auguste Armand, undoubtedly to atone for a serious wrong committed against Léon Jourdain, the father of Hector and Jeanne.

Clotilde, Under the Impact of the Past: What is she hiding?

This discovery finally explains Clotilde ‘s panic and her irrational hatred towards the Jourdains, especially Hector .

• The Lie: Clotilde lied to Teyssier (and perhaps to Rose) about the origins of the Jourdain Hotel to justify her refusal to cooperate. She wanted to prevent any rapprochement at all costs so that the secret would never come to light.
• Instability: Clotilde is unstable, rejecting Rose and worrying. She even confides in Andrea about a deal to sabotage the project. Her stress stems from the fact that the truth could change everything, especially in connection with Hector’s accident (which resulted in the amputation of his leg).
• The Theory of the Denouement: The most likely secret is that Clotilde was involved in Hector Jourdain’s accident . Auguste, to protect his daughter or redress a wrong, would have gifted the Hôtel Jourdain to the family as a secret compensation. The deed of gift is proof of Clotilde’s hidden guilt and the forced silence of the Jourdain family.

Andréa Jourdain tried to destroy the deed to protect her family and the secret that binds them to the Armands. But Teyssier now has proof that the Armand story is far more complex and dark than he thought. The mystery surrounding Clotilde and Hector is about to be revealed, threatening the legitimacy of the Institute and Auguste’s legacy.

Teyssier has the bomb. The shock to the families is imminent.
