Facing Alexander's fist, Quinn didn't move at all, his face calm.Before Alexander's fist could even touch Quinn, it was tightly gripped by Braylon. With a slight exertion of force, he made Alexander's bones creak."Let go, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Alexander felt as if his bones were being crushed, a raging anger burning in his chest. He roared, "Quinn, are you asking for death? Who do you think you are? You think just because your surname is Ashton, you can be Qadir's honored guest? Believe it or not, I can make you disappear from this world forever."Watching the furious Alexander, Quinn seemed like an outsider, just coldly observing. He was watching a play, a farce that had nothing to do with him.He didn't want to continue watching anymore.Then, he gave Alexander a cold glance and turned to leave.When Alexander saw that Quinn was about to leave, he became even more anxious. He couldn't possibly let him just walk away like that.Alexander couldn't help but swing
Isabella was crying, tears falling drop by drop onto her snow-white skin that he had just violated, as if reminding him of his evil deeds.And those tear-filled eyes, looking at him, clearly reflected his discomposed appearance.Quinn was momentarily stunned. Was the frenzied person in Isabella's eyes... really himself?How could I... have lost control like this?Quinn couldn't figure it out.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't understand how I had become like that.Quinn sighed deeply, then gently approached Isabella, carefully kissing the tears off her face.The tears were bitter, astringent, continuously seeping into Quinn's heart, causing his heart to experience an unprecedented sourness."I'm sorry," he said.After saying sorry, Quinn quickly turned around and left.The door closed heavily, blocking Isabella's view. She could no longer see Quinn's figure.Bowing her head, Isabella looked at the dress she was wearing, torn and ruined. The sight was so heartbreaking that she fel
He had just smoked several cigarettes in the corridor, hoping to figure things out.He lit a cigarette, taking several heavy drags in succession. Each puff was drawn deeply, and the cigarette quickly turned into ash. Then, he lit another one.Perhaps he got angry when Isabella wouldn't even give him an explanation.He was her husband, and he would believe her no matter what she said, as long as she spoke up to explain. However, she was reluctant to even give him a single answer.What was so good about Alexander? Why did she still get involved with him after he had hurt her so much?In Quinn's view, Alexander was nothing but a spoiled brat who was ignorant of the world and acted arrogantly.And he had never taken Alexander seriously, but he never imagined that, in Isabella's eyes, he was actually inferior to Alexander.Thinking of the childhood sweethearts that Alexander mentioned, such feelings were indeed the most innocent ones, but hadn't all of those already passed?He knew very we
Over the weekend, Quinn was working in the study, while she was sitting on the balcony reading a book.Although it seemed quite bland, Isabella really enjoyed these peaceful days, as if - time stood still in tranquility!Today, Quinn suddenly suggested going out for a walk. Was he apologizing for what he did last night?Regardless of whether it was true or not, Isabella assumed that was what he was thinking. She forced a smile and said, "I have a meeting scheduled for noon. Can we go out together later?""Hmm." Quinn nodded, not saying much, then turned his head back to look out the window.Seeing his lonely figure, Isabella suddenly felt a pang of guilt and added, "I'm just going to talk to that person, it won't take much time."Isabella's purpose for agreeing to meet Elena was simple, she just wanted to ask about her mother's condition and didn't want to talk much with Elena.Quinn turned around, a hint of light flickering in his deep eyes. "After dinner, shall I accompany you there
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been scolded by his father like this before. The anger he couldn't swallow naturally fell on Quinn and Isabella.If it hadn't been for Quinn's scheming behind the scenes, how could the Sterling Group possibly have suddenly wanted to collaborate with NextEra Technologies? And he certainly wouldn't have ended up in such a mess at the Grand Group's charity dinner.Alexander clenched his fists, treating the newspaper in his hand as if it were Quinn, wishing he could strangle Quinn's throat."Alex, what happened?" Elena pretended not to know, even though she had already clearly heard what had happened here.Not all men liked silly women, right?So, around Alexander, Elena tried her best to play the role of a docile, understanding, and sensible fool.Alexander initially had a belly full of anger to vent, but when he saw Elena's face, it was as if he saw a glimmer of hope again. So, he forced a smile and asked, "When did you arrange to meet Izzy?""U
Isabella walked into the restaurant and saw Elena sitting there, daydreaming from afar.After three years of not seeing each other, Elena still looked the same as she remembered, delicate and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.Isabella walked over to her. A few steps away, Elena looked up at her and smiled, "Izzy, you're here.""Hmm." Isabella responded indifferently, realizing that she could be so calm when seeing Elena again, as if the person in front of her was not the instigator of that incident three years ago.Elena said, "I ordered your favorite crab roe shark fin, stir-fried cucumber sauce, and...""I've already had lunch. You said you were going to tell me about mom, so just say it." Isabella interrupted mercilessly. Looking at Elena's disappointed eyes, she didn't regret it at all.Back then, Elena knelt on the ground with such a wronged look in her eyes, apologizing to her. But what about later?The incident had already passed, Isabella didn't want to think ab
"Don't play the victim in front of me, I'm not a man, I won't fall for your tricks." Looking at Elena's face, Isabella felt nothing but disgust.She paused, then said, "Elena, I just want to tell you, if you guys treasure Alexander so much and want to have a child for him, just go ahead, but don't use this to disgust me anymore. The only reason I agreed to meet you was to find out how mom is doing.""Mom..." Elena swallowed back the words she was about to say in time.If the actual situation of her mother was told to Isabella, given Isabella's temperament, even if Lunaris was filled with traps everywhere, she would definitely go back.Once Isabella returned to Lunaris, their father would surely do everything in his power to keep her there, to fulfill her relationship with Alexander.Thinking of this, Elena immediately corrected herself. "Mom has always been well, and this time she even asked me to bring you a message. She wants you to listen to Dad's arrangements."Elena knew very wel
Their Mr. Ashton was a business tycoon who could make things happen at work, yet when it came to cheering up girls, he was somewhat of an idiot.The first step was not to have a driver, not to have any assistants around, just two people slowly taking a walk, chatting to enhance their relationship.So Quinn had dismissed both the driver and the assistant, and then took Isabella for a walk, but he didn't know what to talk about."Would you like it?" Quinn asked.Quinn's tone was indescribably careful and cautious. If Isabella said she didn't like it, he wouldn't know how to cheer her up.Isabella nodded, "You said it's a place all girls like. I'm a girl, of course I would like it too."After speaking, she also gave him a big smile, indicating that she was very satisfied."Hmm." Quinn hummed lightly again, but he knew in his heart that Isabella's laughter was not as genuine as before.Then, he fell silent again, strolling forward while holding Isabella's hand."Would you be bored if you
How Quinn wished she would say more! He had so many things he wanted to tell her, he wanted to know how she had spent these past three years.He wanted to tell her that their Izzy II was already three years old, very cute and sensible, and sometimes quite a handful.But all of these, he couldn't tell her now.Or, didn't know how to start.His wife, his Isabella, she no longer remembered their past."Iris?" Quinn repeated her Slendish name a few times, laughing, "Iris is a very nice and interesting name, the goddess of starry night in mythology. I suppose your Celestian name must also be very nice."Suddenly hearing someone ask for her Celestian name, Iris couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. After a moment's hesitation, she still said, "I fell seriously ill two years ago and forgot everything from before. My father didn't tell me my Celestian name, but he calls me Izzy."- Izzy.The tip of the tongue touched the lower teet
The rapidly descending elevator suddenly got stuck and did not continue to descend.The scream in the elevator stopped abruptly, but Isabella's fists did not. She seemed to be greatly frightened, treating the person holding her as a ferocious beast.Quinn held her tightly, constantly comforting her, "Isabella, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay, I will never let anything happen to you again, never again—"Three years ago, he lost her and he has been filled with regret ever since.If he were to encounter her now, no matter the cost, he would absolutely not let her suffer the slightest harm again. No one could hurt her anymore.Quinn held Isabella tightly, instructing, "Anyone with a phone, take it out for lighting, and immediately press the emergency button to notify the property management."Hearing his calm voice, the trapped people in the elevator were like they had taken a sedative, no one made a fuss o
Because there was hope, there were countless disappointments.This time, Quinn did not act immediately, but quietly watched the woman, whose silhouette resembled that of his Isabella, walk further and further away.Just as she turned the corner and disappeared from his line of sight, Quinn could no longer care about anything else, and he rushed out of the crowd surrounding him.Regardless of whether that person was his Isabella or not, even if the truth would disappoint him, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.He would rather be disappointed again than miss any opportunity that might lead him to her.Quinn suddenly ran off, and for reasons unknown, everyone else followed him."Mr. Ashton..."The one who called out to him was Braylon. After finishing the matters here, there was still a very important meeting waiting for him. He had no time to delay."Don't follow me," Quinn said without turning his head.As s
The StylePulse Show was world-class. After the event, not only did the models' value skyrocket, but the attention received by the backstage designers also significantly increased.Although the designers did not have as much exposure in front of the audience as the models, their status in the fashion industry was far higher than that of the models, and those who won awards were extremely popular for a time.After Iris won the award, there wasn't much change in her life, because her father managed all her affairs. She just needed to draw her design drafts, and life was still very comfortable.On the third day of arriving at Northbay, Kason had already accepted an announcement for Iris, it was an interview program for a fashion segment on a certain TV station in Northbay.Designers always worked behind the scenes, and Iris had never made a public appearance over the years. Suddenly hearing such news, she was resistant internally. However, when she saw the ho
Quinn looked in the direction Izzy II was pointing, but still saw nothing, finally shaking his head in frustration.What has been going on with him recently?Even seeing a simple heart-shaped band-aid, or hearing some childish words from Izzy II, he could associate everything with Isabella."Daddy, Izzy was hungry, she wanted to eat red strawberries and sweet chocolate." Izzy II raised her little hands to hold her father's face, and said seriously with a soft voice.Soon, Izzy II could no longer remember Izzy I who had just helped her, she was just craving for delicious food."Does Izzy want to eat?" Looking at his daughter's twinkling big eyes, Quinn couldn't help but lean down and kiss her rosy cheeks."Kiss for five hundred bucks." Izzy II spread her hands, said softly, "Daddy, give money."Quinn asked, "Does Izzy want money? Or does she want strawberries?"Hearing her father's words, Izzy tilted her little head and blinked
The little girl first looked at Iris with a shocked expression, then stretched out her hand, pointing at Iris, "You are Izzy I," then pointed at herself, "I am Izzy II." Then she made a "2" with her chubby little hand, "We, two Izzys!"Izzy II looked so adorable that Izzy I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So Izzy II, why aren't your family members with you?"Such a lovely child was left here just like that. If it weren't for her conscience, Iris really wanted to take this child home and raise it herself."Tania was over there, and so was Ethan," Izzy II pointed behind her, not far off. There stood a woman and several bodyguards, their gaze fixed intently in this direction. Not a single move escaped their watchful eyes.Iris understood in an instant, it wasn't that no one was watching her, but rather, there were too many people watching her. Perhaps the little one didn't want so many people following her, so those people could only watch her from a dist
Iris had spent the past three years, the years she could remember, living in the city of Serenova. She had grown accustomed to the pace of life and the environment in this city. She particularly loved the city's fashionable atmosphere and deep down, she didn't want to return to her home country to develop her career.But her father was very good to her, he gave a lot for her.Her mother passed away early, and her father, in order to take care of her, did not remarry. It could be said that he devoted all his thoughts and efforts to her throughout his life.Her father, in order to take care of her, had almost given up his own life, placing all his hopes on her. He gave her enough space and trust, allowing her to excel in the field she loved.This kindness, Iris had no way to repay. So, now that her father was old and wanted to return to his birthplace, she had no reason not to accompany him.Fortunately, the nature of her job was relatively flexible.
The StylePulse Show concluded, with Iris winning both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award, becoming the first young designer in the history of the StylePulse Show to win both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award.As Iris received the trophy, she also got a substantial amount of prize money. More importantly, she finally achieved her life's dream of becoming a designer recognized by professionals.For Iris, the most important thing was that, once she had status and position, she could naturally earn more and more money. Then, she could live in a bigger house with her father and lead a better life.Three years ago, Iris had suffered from a severe illness. After recovering from the illness, she had forgotten all her previous memories, she didn't even know who she was.Fortunately, her father was by her side, helping her recover her previous memories, and also helped her rediscover her talent for fashion design, which enabled her to achieve
Arriving at Misty's little house, at first glance of Misty, Quinn could hardly recognize it.In just a short period of absence, Misty, who was originally as fat as a round ball, had suddenly lost a lot of weight, becoming quite thin and flat.It lay in its little house, weak and powerless, looking as if it could take its last breath at any moment."Misty..." Quinn crouched beside it, calling it softly while reaching out to stroke its head."Woof woof--" Upon hearing Quinn's voice, Misty struggled to open its eyes. Its eyeballs rolled around, seemingly glistening with tears."Misty, don't be afraid. Daddy has called the doctor, and the doctor will be here soon." Quinn picked it up, holding it carefully in his arms."Woo woo--" Misty whimpered again, shaking its little head gently, as if saying it didn't want to see the doctor, it wanted to leave with its mother. But its mother was no longer there, and there was no point in it staying. It want
