Isabella drew a line down the middle of the bed and sternly warned Lucius, "This is the boundary. If you dare cross it..."

She paused, making a chopping gesture at his neck, her face serious, "I'll show no mercy!"

Lucius glanced at her nonchalantly and said in a tired tone, "You better control yourself and not get any ideas about me."

And so, she inexplicably ended up sharing a bed with Lucius. Isabella couldn't help but cry out in her heart, "Oh, God, what are you doing to me?"

Lucius, on the other hand, was very relaxed and soon his even breathing indicated he was sleeping soundly. Isabella was not so lucky; she stared wide-eyed and couldn't fall asleep.

She sneaked a glance at Lucius and saw that he was sleeping soundly without any impure thoughts, which reassured her a bit. Gradually, sleepiness overcame her and she drifted off.

In her dream, her grandfather was back, lovingly calling her, "Bella, come eat."

Her grandfather had made delicious Beef Shank, and she happily went to ea

    Thalia stepped forward, her tone light and dismissive. “The results for today’s interview have already been finalized, and all positions have been filled. Therefore, the interviews are over.” Isabella’s eyes were steely as she stared at Thalia. “I am one of the candidates. I haven’t been interviewed. Why are the interviews concluded?” Thalia chuckled, condescendingly. “We’ve already selected the best candidates. With all positions filled, there’s no need to continue the interviews.” “Oh, really?” Isabella’s voice was sharp and unyielding. “Are you telling me that a prestigious company like Knight Entertainment doesn’t follow proper procedures? That a mere secretary can manipulate the process for personal gain? Does your boss know about this?” “You...” Thalia’s face turned red with anger, but before she could argue further, the main interviewer intervened. He addressed Isabella. “I haven’t received your resume. It might have been misplaced. I’ll go check.” He turned back to the o

    Thalia snorted coldly and produced a document endorsed by the head of the HR Department. "See this? The list of recruited personnel for this interview has already been finalized by our HR Department's Director Thorne. The document has been enacted and cannot be changed." The chief interviewer looked at the list, his face darkening. "Elara Hawke..." He glanced at the overweight woman standing outside the door, peering inside. She was Elara Hawke. During her interview, this woman had shown no sense of method, a complete novice to the performing arts. She had no acting skills whatsoever. He remembered giving her the lowest score; how could someone like her possibly appear on the list of recruits? Pointing at the overweight woman, The chief interviewer retorted, "How could someone with such a low score be hired? Has your HR Department made a mistake?" Thalia swiftly put away the document, unabashedly asserting, "How our HR Department operates is none of your concern. In any case, th

    Thalia's heart nearly stopped beating. Since becoming the secretary of the HR Department at the branch, she had abused her power and acted tyrannically, relying on her unusually close relationship with Director Thorne to do as she pleased in the department.For a massive commercial empire like the Knights, a small film and television branch like this was insignificant.She had only seen Lysander's face through video conferences before and never imagined he would personally appear at such an inconspicuous branch.Ignoring the department heads behind him, Lysander walked and asked, "Have the results of today's interviews come out so quickly? I've already received an email from the executives."Director Thorne walked stiffly, almost jogging, following behind, nodding and bowing, "It's just about the temporary actors for recruitment, how dare I trouble Vice President. This matter has already been handled properly by the subordinates."Lysander didn't look at him, continuing, "Hmm, show me

    Lysander walked up to Director Thorne with a cold, stern voice, "You are to resign immediately from the branch. Tomorrow, go to the accounting department to settle your salary."Director Thorne collapsed like a deflated balloon, His hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual salary, obtained through extensive connections and hefty expenses, now turned to nothing.He suddenly grabbed Lysander, crying as if mourning the dead, "Vice President, you can't do this. I've devoted half my life to Knight Entertainment, with no small effort. You can't nullify all my contributions to the company just for such an insignificant temporary extra role."Seeing this, Lysander's assistant quickly signaled for the bodyguards behind him to pull Director Thorne away.Lysander looked coldly at the despairing Director Thorne and said icily, "Under your management, the entire branch of Knight Entertainment has become chaotic and declining, on the brink of closure. Your efforts, indeed, have been considerable.

    As if reading her thoughts, Lucius embraced her and held her face, looking into her eyes. “I love you,” he admitted, his gaze unwavering. “I always have. Ever since the first time we met, I admired your strength and your passion. I wanted to be someone you could rely on, someone who would stand by you, even if it meant hiding who I was.”Isabella searched his eyes for any sign of deception, but all she found was raw honesty. The realization settled within her like a weight being lifted. The anger that had flared between them now seemed trivial compared to the bond they had forged through adversity. “No more secrets, okay?”“Agreed,” he said, relief flooding his features. “I promise to be honest with you from here on out. And please don’t worry about the Rivera Corporation. I’ll help you resolve everything.”“You know?” Isabella blinked, startled once again.“I said I was on a business trip because I’m helping you solve the problems at the Rivera Corporation.

    When Isabella finally finished her work and could take a moment to rest, she remembered that someone was waiting for her at home. She quickly took out her phone to send a message.She had expected to find numerous missed calls and messages from Lucius, given his personality, but to her surprise, there was only one message.“Bella, I’ll be busy traveling with my boss for the next few days, so don’t worry about me.”Of course, Lucius had his own life and couldn’t revolve entirely around her. Yet, for some reason, Isabella felt uneasy upon reading that message.As fatigue set in, she had no choice but to rest in the office for a while.She slept soundly until night fell and was awakened by Nate shaking her.“Miss, there’s a banquet tonight where you need to attend as the representative of the Rivera Corporation. We can't let others see us in a bad light; it’s best if you can bring in some investment for the company,” Nate said, immediately arranging for a stylist and a wardrobe for Isabe

    "Are you sure it’s not needed?"“Miss, what do you mean?” Nate, perceptive and sharp, immediately understood after hearing Isabella’s words—Regina was involved.Isabella nodded and said to Nate, “Before, when I was slandered, I had a huge argument with my father because I discovered that Regina was behind the losses of the Rivera Corporation. But I only heard fragments of her conversation; I had no evidence.”“I’ll go retrieve the accounts! As long as there are financial transactions, we should be able to uncover the truth,” Nate said, quickly heading towards the company.After all, with Carlos in his current state, only the doctors and nurses could help him now.Once Nate left, no one else appeared outside the hospital room.Isabella dialed Regina’s number.

    As Isabella listened to their conversation, a realization struck her. She stepped forward, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Is this the woman you saw?”Barely able to contain her excitement, she pulled out a photo of her mother and handed it to the person who had been speaking.“Yes, yes, that’s her!” The person, startled by Isabella’s sudden appearance, nodded in recognition. After all, such a beautiful woman was unforgettable after just one meeting.“I clearly remember that she was kidnapped by a man living in this building, and Regina was being chased by debt collectors. She even tried to confront that man, provoking him and putting herself at risk with those pursuing her for money.”“Oh, isn’t that just typical of her? Deep in debt and not even trying to earn her way out,” one person scoffed.“I can’t believe it!” Isabella clenched her fists in anger, her eyes wide with disbelief.Her mother had only mentioned her benefactor once,

    “You don’t even share the Knight last name, and you dare to argue with me in front of my parents, and my own nephew? You really have some nerve!” Giselle coldly shot a glance at Lydia, not holding back her disdain for her. When it came to matters of interest, she didn’t even want to pretend anymore.“What do you mean I don’t share the last name? I’ve carried a Knight family member in my belly! My poor Lily is still in the hospital, all alone, receiving treatment while her mother is being bullied like this. It’s really inhumane!” Lydia put on her usual act, crying and making a scene, appealing to everyone’s sympathy for her sick daughter.Lydia was merely the daughter of a subordinate of Lucius’ father—Jay. At a banquet, she climbed the social ladder and successfully became Jay’s mistress, even getting pregnant.She gave birth to a daughter, Lily Knight, but the child was born frail and weak.

    “Did they send you as a negotiator?” Hearing Lysander mention the Knight family, Lucius couldn't help but sneer, dismissively saying, “They’re all useless leeches clinging to me. None of them genuinely care about my well-being.”The reason Lucius had been gravely injured in front of Isabella was recently revealed to be the work of a business competitorBut at that time, some members of the Knight family weren’t in a hurry to find him; they even tried to take advantage of his absence to seize control of the Knight Group.The ‘useless’ people Lucius referred to included his stepmother—Lydia, his aunt—Giselle, and Lydia's brother, Hans.They all had their eyes on the Knight Group, clearly incompetent and unable to do anything, yet they harbored grand ambitions of taking it for themselves.Over the years, Lucius had cleaned up many of their messes.Fo

    Seeing that the crowd was about to be won over by Isabella, Samuel couldn’t hold back his frustration any longer. He turned and walked away, almost fleeing, and his back looked utterly defeated.“I do not regret choosing Aetheron Film Academy; it has always been my dream school because it is open-minded and inclusive, a place where all aspiring performers wish to be. So today, I will not shy away from being broad-minded and accommodating of everyone’s opinions. Now that I stand on this stage, I am not just myself; I am embodying a character whose image is open to any judgment. Thus, I welcome all your doubts.”“However, I also hope everyone can think critically and analyze dialectically. It’s best to bring strong evidence before questioning me. When you defame me, don’t just follow the crowd; have your own insights. If you have grievances against me, feel free to confront me directly; I am never afraid.”“Lastly, I

    Clearly, Isabella's powerful presence had intimidated them.In the audience, surrounded by so many people, it was easy for them to hurl defamatory remarks and throw a few paper balls without fear of being immediately identified by Isabella. They felt shielded by their large numbers.But when Isabella asked who among them could replace her, no one dared to speak up. Many of them bowed their heads, afraid to meet her gaze, fearing that if they made eye contact with her, they might be called up to the stage.However, not everyone present was without courage. Some were accustomed to bullying Isabella under the cover of numbers, while others genuinely disliked her due to the rumors circulating about her. One of these was Molly.Glancing around, Molly noticed that those who had thrown things the hardest were silent, not daring to contradict Isabella. Without fear, she stood up, becoming the center
