Of course Isabella wanted to redecorate, but how much money would that take? After finally winning a lottery, she didn't want to spend it all, right?

No way, confiscate the phone and quickly change the password.

With a grim expression, Isabella snatched her phone back, opened her account, and took a look inside, instantly stunned!

100,000?

If she remembered correctly, the prize she won yesterday was supposed to be 50,000. Even with buying all the furniture and appliances big and small, there shouldn't be any money left in the account.

Could she be seeing things?

She rubbed her eyes and looked again, still 100,000!

Lucius quietly observed her thunderstorm-to-sunshine expression, teasingly saying, "Money-lover!"

As Isabella recovered from her surprise, she looked up, playing along with the money-lover joke, "Hey, did you win the lottery again today?"

Lucius looked down at the girl, a glint of mischief in his eyes as he suppressed a smile, pretending to be haughty towards the money-lover

    Isabella had no idea what was really going on. Hearing that her father had instructed her stepmother to sell the house, she felt an overwhelming sorrow.Her father had already kicked her out, knowing she had nowhere to go. Now, he wanted her stepmother to sell the only place she could call home. Was he really so heartless, completely indifferent to his own daughter’s well-being?Thinking about how her once-loving father had become so cold and cruel, Isabella felt a pain that made it hard to breathe. She clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling as she tried to hold back her sobs.Lucius, who had been silently observing, noticed Isabella's distress and frowned slightly.Suddenly, he remembered something.

    Lucius lowered his gaze to look at her, his eyes clear and filled with an emotion that seemed to drown. Isabella's eyes met his, and suddenly she felt a strange tremor, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her throat.She wondered if she had been electrified. Her face flushed, and she nudged him, whispering urgently, "Say something!"Finally, Lucius spoke, his eyes never leaving hers. "Hmm. These wedding gifts are too humble for you. I’ll give you the best in the future."His performance was so convincing it sent ripples through Isabella’s heart. She couldn't help but feel that the emotion in his eyes seemed genuine.Regina and Cynthia, who had come to demand the house, were now forced to swallow this sweet display, nearly choking on it. Cynthia was on the brink of madness, seeing the man she desired showing such affection towards Isabella.Grinding her teeth in frustrat

    Isabella sat nervously on the edge of the bed, glancing secretly at Regina and Cynthia, accidentally making eye contact with them.The three of them simultaneously ‘hmphed,’ rolled their eyes, and ignored each other.Isabella furrowed her brow, thinking to herself, ‘These two seem determined to stay. I wonder how Lucius is doing. He wouldn't run away at the last minute, would he?’With that thought, Isabella felt a surge of anger. ‘Hmph, he insisted on staying here when he was injured. Now that I'm in trouble, he's quick to run. Lucius Knight, if you dare to run, may you step in dog poop every day for the rest of your life.’Just as she was cursing him in her mind, the door suddenly clicked open.Lucius walked in.Isabella was overjoyed and quickly stood up.As soon as he entered, he angrily took off his shoes, threw the

    Isabella walked over and pulled open the door, pointing outside. She said coldly to them, "Leave immediately, or I'll call the police."Cynthia was unwilling to give up and still wanted to continue confronting Isabella.Regina gave her a meaningful look, grabbed her arm, and restrained her previous hostility. "Cynthia, let's go. Your sister casually cohabits with a stranger and secretly got married, completely disregarding her father. Let your dad handle this matter."Cynthia understood instantly. This house was originally meant to be retrieved behind her father's back. If her father found out, he would definitely blame them.Now, Isabella had married this lowly man without permission, showing disrespect to her elders. For their father, who valued prestige more than anything, this was an embarrassing family scandal. He would surely intervene and discipline Isabella himself.By th

    Miss Kirsten was taken aback, not expecting Mrs. Rivera to speak of the Rivera family's eldest daughter in such a way. Naturally, she was unaware of the animosity between Isabella and Regina.Seeing that Miss Kirsten was silent, Regina made her intentions clear, "I hope you won't admit Isabella to the school. This is also for the sake of the school's reputation. We don't want her to tarnish it."Miss Kirsten finally understood; Mrs. Rivera clearly disliked the eldest daughter of the Rivera family. It seemed the rumors that Mrs. Rivera was a stepmother were true.Given that someone of Mrs. Rivera's status had personally made this call, Miss Kirsten immediately realized she couldn't afford to offend such an influential figure. She quickly agreed, "I understand Mrs. Rivera's concerns. However, Isabella is already enrolled. It would be against school regulations to expel her without cause."Regina furrow

    In the next moment, the entire class erupted in thunderous laughter.Mocking voices aimed at Isabella rose one after another."Oh my god, scoring zero points is quite a feat. I couldn't even do that if I tried.""How did a loser like this get into a top school? Isn't this a disgrace to the school?""Disgrace? She's very pretty, though—a pretty loser.""They say the prettier someone is, the lower their IQ. I guess it's true."Isabella ignored the mocking voices around her. Those were last year's exam results; they only represented the past. Today was a new beginning.Her sole focus now was on the placement exam. It was as if she couldn't hear the laughter, remaining absorbed in her studies.Jaden, hearing his classmates' discussions, turned to glance at Isabella with displeasure.The girl was slend

    Isabella entered the exam room and found her assigned seat according to her exam ticket number.To her surprise, Jaden was seated right behind her.Jaden didn’t even glance at her, acting as if she was invisible.Isabella was about to sit down but hesitated.The previous two incidents were clearly Jaden's doing. Would he give up so easily after failing?She remained standing, and Jaden looked up at her, seemingly anxious about her not sitting down.Isabella's suspicions were confirmed—something was definitely wrong with the seat.She inspected the desk and chair closely but found nothing unusual at first.Looking again more carefully, she noticed a barely visible thin line on one of the chair legs, as if it had been tampered with.Isabella smirked slightly, realizing Jaden’s amateurish plan.

    Since Cynthia’s foot injury was revealed, she had become much more subdued.She seemed to understand that trying to harm Isabella and drive her out of the show was nearly impossible.She had failed repeatedly from the start. Besides Isabella’s good luck and cunning, there had always been someone helping Isabella from behind the scenes.She vaguely felt that the person supporting Isabella was extraordinarily powerful and well-connected.But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure out who could have such strong backing to support an ordinary orphan like Isabella.Unable to figure it out, she decided to bide her time.After that, the filming process went smoothly.Cynthia continued to come to the set in a wheelchair every day, using a stand-in to complete all her scenes.Isabella, on the other hand, devoted herself fully to playing the role of Lady Lucia.Her performances often dazzled everyone, and during filming

    No one expected the rope to break, and everyone was working beneath the bell without any precautions.At a critical moment, Isabella broke into a cold sweat and felt her scalp tingle. She could leap away to avoid the disaster, but what about the crew members under the bell?If the bell fell, everyone beneath it would be in danger.There was no time to explain; the bell was about to fall.Without thinking, Isabella decided to grab the rope that was about to snap. If she used her body weight to hold it, the support structure might stay upright, and the crew could stabilize the bell.She quickly ran over and attempted to jump up to grab the rope, but it was too high, and she couldn’t reach it.In her desperation, she noticed Cynthia, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside the bell.Without a moment to waste, she leaped over, stepped on Cynthia’s shoulder, and used her height to jump higher and grab the fraying rope.As the crowd a

    After finishing her costume, Isabella returned to the filming location for the next scene.As usual, Cynthia was the lead dancer, with the other dancers coordinating with her.The set was magnificent, with beautiful girls twirling and spinning like blooming flowers, creating a breathtaking display.However, an out-of-tune note disrupted everyone.Cynthia suddenly started dancing unevenly, stumbling and limping as if she were a cripple.Her facial expression was extremely bizarre, with grimaces and furrowed brows, showing immense pain.Her erratic movements made it impossible for the crew to continue filming the dance.Assistant Director quickly called for a cut and asked loudly, "What’s wrong with the lead actress? Did she sprain her ankle? Get the crew’s doctor over here!"Hailey hurried to help Cynthia sit down and began to help her remove her shoes.Cynthia immediately grabbed Hailey's hand, preventing her from touchi

    Hearing Hailey’s words, Cynthia felt a secret thrill and repeatedly agreed, “Yes, Hailey, Isabella is our common enemy. We must never let her off the hook.”Thus, the two envious and scheming women united in their animosity.As for Cynthia’s plan to have the posts deleted, that was a story for another day. The Riveras tried every means to remove them, but none succeeded, as the behind-the-scenes boss who posted them was someone no one dared to cross.The next scene being filmed involved a dance.As the lead actress, Cynthia naturally took the central position in the dance.Isabella, playing the supporting role of the gentle concubine, had to dance behind the lead actress.Cynthia was once known as the ‘Dancing Goddess’ due to her passion for clubbing; in the glamorous nightlife, she was the most dazzling and seductive queen.However, the current production was a historical palace drama requiring ethnic dance skills.This partic

    Lysander, a bit taken aback, asked, "Why not? Cynthia has set traps on set and secretly slandered Isabella. If you don’t replace her, are you just going to let Cynthia continue to make things difficult for your Isabella?"Lucius’s voice suddenly grew deep and frosty. "If we remove Cynthia from the role, the Riveras will pull their investment. That money is essentially owed to Bella by the Riveras, and it should be paid to her. Why should we let them take it back?"Lucius’s voice carried a barely perceptible cold smirk as he looked at the bathroom door, touching the wound Isabella had bandaged for him. Although the scab had fallen off, the psychological terror Isabella had endured that night from the Rivera family—those helpless, frightened eyes like a young deer—still pained him deeply.His voice, now subtly heavy, grew louder. “If the Riveras withdraws their funding, it won’t affect them much. I want Cynthia to stay in the production and continue playing the le

    Faced with overwhelming evidence, Cynthia had no way to defend herself. Every trick she wanted to pull unraveled before she could even speak.Someone shouted, “Cynthia, you brought us all here to the assistant director’s office to slander Isabella, didn’t you?”The onlookers, who had been dragged into this mess by Cynthia, were now desperate to distance themselves from her. That shout was clearly directed at the assistant director, pleading for forgiveness and hoping he wouldn’t hold a grudge.The director and Producer Aileen remained silent, as the truth was already crystal clear. There was no need for them to say more. Cynthia was caught, with no escape.Panicked, Cynthia tried to bluff her way out. "That love letter was just a prank between my sister and me. Nothing actually happened, you're all overreacting—”“Slap!”Before she could finish her sentence, Isabella delivered a hard slap across her face, causing Cynthia to see stars and nea

    The assistant director remained composed, standing firm as he gave Hailey a calm, steady look. “So, what you’re suggesting is that I’m having an affair with Ms. Isabella?”Hailey raised an eyebrow, her lips curling in a sneer. She stared at Isabella with contempt. “Exactly. I like to call things as they are. You two were alone in your office—what else could it be but an affair?”“Who said they were alone?” A cold, sharp voice suddenly interrupted from behind the assistant director.Everyone turned toward the source of the voice, and a woman stepped out of the office.It was none other than the assistant director’s wife, Producer Aileen, who also worked on the project.The onlookers were stunned.What was going on? Why was the assistant director’s wife here too?Producer Aileen looked calmly at Hailey, her expression unreadable. She asked coolly, “Isabella was in the office for less than a minute, and you’re claiming she and the assist

    If Isabella tries to clear her name now, it'll only make things worse—who would believe her anyway?Cynthia is probably stirring up more trouble behind the scenes, and it seems like most of the crew has already bought into her lies.The only way to stop the rumors is to force Cynthia to confess, to make everyone see her ugly true nature.With that in mind, Isabella started thinking about how to expose Cynthia.Despite everything, she acted as if nothing was wrong, carrying on as usual, completely unfazed by the stares and mockery around her.But Cynthia was running out of patience. She wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Isabella, to get her kicked out of the production—and maybe even out of the entire industry. It was time to make a bigger move.That evening, just as the crew was wrapping up, Amy approached Isabella with a file and said, "Isabella, the director wants to discuss the script for Lady Lucia. He needs to go over the lines with you.”Isabel

    Isabella almost thought she’d misheard. She stared at the director in disbelief and asked again, “I can play the second female lead?”The assistant director, with a smile in his eyes, confirmed, “Yes, you’re cast as the second female lead.”Then he shifted his tone, “Although the second female lead plays a villain, it’s a highly challenging role and one of the key pillars of this drama. If performed well, it will shine brightly and win the audience's sympathy, gaining you countless fans. But if performed poorly, it will become a one-dimensional, uninteresting character, leading to criticism and affecting your reputation, which could hinder your future prospects. So, are you up for the challenge?”The assistant director’s gaze was intense and full of anticipation.Isabella nodded vigorously, confidently replying, “Director, trust me.”“Good. I’ll announce the final casting list soon. The role of the second female lead is yours.” The assistant direct
