A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 9 The Announcement
However, Lila later found that Northbay, an emerging cosmopolitan city, was a nice place to live. She decided to stay with Isabella. They started a wedding dress design studio, which cost all their money.Isabella was short of money. To be specific, she found it hard to rely on anyone else, no matter how close they were. Only money could give her a sense of security. For this very reason, she needed a stable job, so she joined NextEra Technologies. So far, she just funded the studio and did not participate in its management.Lila knew that was only part of the reason why Isabella didn't get involved. The main reason was that Isabella no longer wanted to draw wedding dress drawings. That explained her career choice—a job had nothing to do with drawing.That was the saddest memory Isabella carried with her. No one had been able to help her get over it and heal her.Lila knew most of Isabella's secrets. Back then, it was Lila who set her up with Quinn.Isabella planned to ask Lila out an

As soon as Isabella heard what Lila said, her heart skipped a beat, and she carefully recalled the events of the blind date. Quinn approached her directly that day, so it shouldn't have been a mistake on her part."Izzy..." Lila nervously grasped Isabella's hand. "Tell me everything. What's going on?"Lila was worried that Isabella had been duped by a big liar.Isabella carefully explained to Lila about the blind date and the fact that Quinn was the new CEO of her company. Lila's eyes nearly popped out as she listened. "Isabella, you are such a silly girl."Lila grabbed her iPad and instantly opened a webpage to search for Quinn, the CEO of NextEra Technologies. She murmured, "I bet he must be a bald, potbellied old man. No way someone could be attractive enough to match you..."Before Lila finished her sentence, she was stunned by the pictures she found online.Although there were only two photos from Quinn's inauguration press conference, it was enough to prove his handsomeness.Exc

Excited as they were, they didn't forget about their CEO.At that moment, whether or not Quinn would attend this event became the focus of everyone's attention.While Isabella's colleagues were pondering this question, Isabella was also thinking about Quinn.Quinn was on a business trip this week, and Isabella hadn't seen him for several days. When would he come back?Although Quinn called every night on time, their relationship hadn't reached the point where they could talk about everything. Many times, both of them remained silent on the phone.Someone in the company's activity group initiated a game. Each participant needed to bet 100 dollars on whether or not Quinn would attend this event.100 dollars wasn't much, and many people responded immediately. Almost all the dozens of internal participants placed their bets, making it a close call on whether to go or not.Martha and Hector both hurriedly came to find Isabella and asked with excitement, "Isabella, do you want to bet too?"

Isabella pushed open a wooden door, only to see a large lawn inside. As they walked further in, there were pavilions, artificial hills, fountains, and flower gardens...Isabella followed Ava for a long time before finally seeing a three-story building.The interior of the building was simply decorated, with a decor style that was close to nature. It matched what Isabella knew about Quinn's character.As they walked along, Isabella couldn't help but sigh. This place was as beautiful as a utopia. If she could live here, she would probably live a few more years.Ava did not enter the house and stood at the door. "Since Mr. Ashton is here, he won't make you stay in those ordinary guest rooms."Isabella thought, "Those guest rooms are also expensive. How can you call them ordinary?" But compared to the independent villa area here, those guest rooms were indeed inferior.Ava continued, "Mrs. Ashton, this is a private area where others cannot enter. You don't need to worry too much."Mrs. As

No!Quinn's question successfully ignited Isabella's competitiveness. She lifted her chin and shot Quinn a challenging look, refusing to yield.The host shouted, "Start."The other three teams instantly started moving.The audience cheered loudly, "Go, Mr. Ashton. Go, Mr. Ashton."Quinn said to Isabella, "Bite the apple and don't move. I'll eat it."This was his strategy. Instead of both trying to bite the swing apple, he wanted Isabella to keep the apple in place and let him bite it.Isabella nodded.However, it didn't work out as planned. Before Isabella's lips touched the apple, she was overwhelmed by Quinn's crisp scent.The audience shouted more excitedly, "Go, Mr. Ashton. Champion goes to Mr. Ashton.""Relax. I got you." Regardless of the noisy background, Quinn's deep and sultry voice reached Isabella's ears.She secretly took a breath, opened her mouth, and bit the apple. As Quinn leaned in, Isabella panicked and closed her eyes, her heart drumming frantically.During the enti

Quinn answered without thinking, "In NextEra Technologies, you have the support of the CEO and can bully anyone you want. I won't let anyone bully you.""Thank you," Isabella replied softly.She was grateful that he firmly chose to support her. No question was asked."Why?" Quinn arched a brow and said, "As a couple, we shall trust and support each other."Isabella arched a brow and chuckled. It felt nice to be trusted and supported. She felt warm though it was a chilly and windy autumn day.Looking at her smile, Quinn said, "Would you take a walk with me?"Isabella hesitated as she wasn't interested in the games, but she was worried about being seen with Quinn.Quinn didn't give her the time to think and grabbed her hand. "Come with me."Isabella's hand was cold, though the weather wasn't cold outside. But her hand was icy.She was surprised when Quinn's large hand grabbed hers. His body heat warmed her little by little, causing her to stop herself from pulling her hand back.After a

It would be nice if the whole family could get together at this time. She felt lonely.Without her family, she was like a tree without roots or a kite without the thread. She felt insecure no matter where she went."Dad, Mom..." Isabella had been missing her parents, her eyes red. "It's been three years. Have you ever missed me?"She was their biological daughter, but back then, they abandoned her. She ended up alone in an unfamiliar place. No one had thought of her in these three years.Three years sometimes felt like the blink of an eye, but sometimes felt like forever.These years, Isabella tried her best not to pay attention to them. She was afraid that what she knew could make her more painful.But she still cared.She shook her head with a bitter smile on her face. In fact, the scar at the bottom of her heart never disappeared, torturing her from time to time.Although she had married an outstanding and considerate man, she still felt insecure as if nowhere was her home in this

Quinn was so rich. Isabella looked around and asked curiously, "Quinn, what business did you do?"Quinn said, "Almost all the profitable business."He was telling the truth. Hotels, restaurants, real estate, traveling, movies, technologies... Grand Group dabbled in and then expanded almost all the profitable businesses.Isabella knew nothing about this. She thought he didn't want to talk much about this, so she didn't ask more.Quinn was busy.He turned on his laptop to deal with his work as soon as he got in the car. The work phone next to him kept ringing.After ten minutes, he had picked up more than ten calls. Quinn's Slendish was fluent.Isabella had learned Slendish in the university, but she couldn't understand Quinn's business Slendish.She could only tell that he was giving some orders decisively.NextEra Technologies was established recently and hadn't expanded its business abroad. Isabella guessed that Quinn was dealing with his business.After about half an hour, Quinn fin

Seed drill?No sooner had Isabella's words left her mouth than she felt a pain on her lips. Before she could react, she was forcefully kissed by Quinn.He forcefully and dominantly pried open her shell-like teeth, invaded her mouth, and compelled her to accept his assertive kiss."Uh—" Isabella swung her fists, pounding them one after another on his solid chest, "Bastard, let me go!"She muttered indistinctly, but Quinn paid her no mind, kissing her like a furious lion.His kiss was too dominant, and soon Isabella had no strength to struggle, but she was not one to give up easily.Isabella couldn't push him away, nor could she hurt him by hitting. This man was not only incredibly strong, but his muscles were also astonishingly solid.Isabella was so angry, perhaps even blinded by rage, that she thrust her hand into his suit collar and fiercely grabbed at his chest through his shirt.Quinn's body shuddered slightly, he qui

"I want to have a word with Elena alone," Isabella said."Then I'll go ahead and wait for Ms. Isabella. If you need anything, just call out." With that, Ashford turned around and walked away, leaving behind a smile.Isabella took a deep breath of cool air, returning once again to the window. In the room, Elena was quietly looking in the direction of the window, her gaze as silent as death.Isabella's gaze fell on Elena's face, looking at her unrecognizable face, she thought of many things from the past.Once upon a time, Elena was so radiant and dazzling. Back then, so many boys in their circle wanted to pursue her, but they were all gently rejected by her one by one.It was not until later that Isabella found out that Elena's heart had always been with Alexander, with marrying him as her lifelong pursuit."Are you here to mock me?" Elena suddenly burst into laughter. Her cold laughter was particularly eerie and terrifying in this quiet cour
A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 168 Return to Lunaris
Isabella didn't know why, but the nicer Quinn was to her, the more uneasy she felt. She was terrified that one day she would open her eyes and he would no longer be by her side, and she would never be able to find him again.If he hadn't been so good to her, even if one day he was no longer by her side, she would have been able to adapt to a new life quickly.But back then—Back then, she found herself increasingly reluctant to leave him. Even dreaming of him saying he wanted to break up would cause her such heartache.Although he said the breakup was in a dream, she still felt a lingering fear at this moment."Isabella, can you tell me what's on your mind?" Quinn asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his gaze deep and profound.Isabella had been frequently distracted recently. Quinn knew she was hiding something in her heart, but he just couldn't guess what it was.She was still eating at that moment, and he was still by her s

"Wasn't it you?" The speaker turned back into Alexander, who stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat, "Izzy, we were once the closest people to you, yet you conspired with someone else to frame us.""I didn't--" Isabella tried to speak, but he choked her throat. Her face swelled up red, breathing became more and more difficult, and she couldn't utter a word."Isabella, do you know how sordid your birth was? Kason treated your mother like a plaything, giving her to other men, and it was under such unbearable circumstances that she conceived you.""Take another look at who Quinn is? He's Qadir, the one who controls the Grand Group. He's someone that many people can't reach. Now look at you, what's your status? What gives you the right to stand by his side, to take the place of his wife?""Did you think that carrying his child would keep him tied to you? Did you think his promises to you would always hold true?""The only reason he was still wit
A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 166 Their Past (2)
It was precisely because Alexander had been escorting her all the way, and Kason's attitude towards Isabella was fairly good, that she could capriciously do what she wanted to do.During the college entrance examination, Isabella was admitted to the best university in Lunaris with the highest score, but that was Kason's wish, not hers. What she wanted to study was fashion design.Kason was very angry about this matter. In his rage, he punished her by not allowing her to eat dinner and, furthermore, made her stand as punishment.This matter was known to Alexander, who climbed over the wall from their villa, ascended a large tree to the upper floor of her house, and gave her the packed chicken legs and hot rice. "Izzy, eat quickly.""Alexander, you've always been the best to me." She took the lunch box, looking at him with a smile of pure joy."Who will treat you well if I don't?" Alexander said, not without pride, as he affectionately ruffled her ha
A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 165 Their Past (1)
These past few days, due to health reasons, Isabella always got up relatively late, usually arriving at the studio around ten in the morning.Seeing her come in, Lila quickly poured her a glass of boiled water. She watched as she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anything."Lila, are you trying to play charades with me?" They had been friends for so many years, how could Isabella not tell that Lila had something to say to her.Lila thought again, even if she didn't tell Isabella, but this matter was so big, Isabella would soon know. It would be better to let her say it, and it could also serve as a reminder to Isabella.She first helped Isabella sit down, then slowly asked, "Izzy, what is your current attitude towards Alexander?""Why did you suddenly mention that person?" Isabella asked.To be honest, all her thoughts had been on Quinn and the child for quite some time. She hadn't thought about those past events and

It hit Alexander's head hard."It was you, it was you, it was you, it was you, it was you!"With every smash, Elena roared, putting all her strength into each one.Blood splattered, splashing on her face, falling into her eyes - a sea of crimson.She kept smashing until all her strength was exhausted. Only then, panting, did she stop.Alexander was already unrecognizable.She smashed it."Hahaha..." Looking at her own masterpiece, Elena suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out.Tears and blood, mixed together.Bitter, sweet, and pungent, just like her life.Suddenly, she lost all her strength and collapsed weakly next to Alexander's body.She stared blankly at the unrecognizable corpse, then suddenly, she reached out and embraced him."Alexander, was Ellie beautiful?"She asked.No answer.Only the color of blood was spreading infinitely.After a

Even though the New Year was almost over, the weather in Lunaris was still very cold.In those days, Elena didn't go out at all, she stayed at home all day, but she still dressed herself up beautifully.She had always been a woman who loved beauty.Although her face was ruined, she did not give up on herself, because beautiful makeup was equally important.She turned her back, hiding her scarred face from view. Even just looking at her silhouette, one would still consider her an exceptionally beautiful woman.Her slender waist was just a handful, her golden, big wavy hair casually draped over it.Lifting the soup to take a few big gulps, Alexander's gaze fell on Elena's back.She was wearing a bright red coat today, the color of blood, so red that it was somewhat startling.He stared at her for quite a while, Alexander didn't take his eyes off her. Logically, she shouldn't have obeyed him as she used to.Could it be that
A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 162 Excessive Nervousness
Thinking of this, Isabella glared at him fiercely, "I don't need your company, you just go and do your own thing."Quinn. "..."In fact, he really wanted to keep her by his side at all times, but he knew her personality too well, she took her work very seriously.If he had forcibly prevented her from going to work, she would have definitely been unhappy. And the last thing he wanted to do was to make her unhappy.After thinking for an entire night, he finally came up with what he thought was a good solution - he would accompany her to work. That way, he could always keep an eye on her.Isabella yanked the blanket aside, sitting up abruptly, only to hear Quinn's anxious voice, "Isabella, take it easy."His large palm also timely supported her waist, preventing her from continuing to move about."Mr. Ashton, being pregnant isn't as scary as you imagine," she wondered if he was foolish.Every time she moved, he would get so nervou
