2024-10-29 19:42:56Isabella’s face went stiff. If she kept arguing with this shameless man, she was bound to dig her own grave.
She decided to yank him up and push him out of the bathroom. "Hurry up and go out! Nature calls!" she said as she shut the bathroom door with a click.
Lucius, still amused, lazily sauntered over to Isabella’s bed and plopped down, resuming his sleep.
Mmm, her bed smelled so good, a comforting fragrance that filled his senses.
Lucius contentedly closed his eyes.
When Isabella finished in the bathroom and came out, she saw the man sprawled out on her bed, once again taking up the whole space. Instantly, she felt a wave of despair wash over her.
"Wake up, this is my bed. You need to sleep in the bathtub," Isabella said, shaking him helplessly.
But Lucius was already deep in dreamland, completely unresponsive.

"Light on the top," he instructed."Focus more on the bottom.""Left side, not too light, not too heavy.""Right side, make sure to press a bit."He directed her with all his energy.Isabella could see that the massage was indeed easing his headache, but his commanding demeanor was getting more and more insistent.Her hands were getting sore.Isabella glared at him, who was enjoying himself with his eyes closed, looking utterly smug.The more she looked, the more she felt he had a face that just begged to be slapped.Suddenly, her phone chimed with a message alert.Isabella glanced at it and saw a message from her cousin, Hilda: "Isabella, I just called the Rivera’s, and your stepmother said you ran away from home. Where are you? I'm so worried about you.

Lucius saw that Isabella was dressed in casual wear and asked, “For a tennis tournament, shouldn’t you be wearing a proper tennis outfit?”Isabella shook her head, “Those specialized sports outfits are too expensive, and I didn’t have time to buy one. My main goal is the prize money. As long as I win, that’s all that matters. I’m not too concerned about anything else.”As she quickly put on her jacket, she continued, “I was planning to drag you in as a last-minute partner if I couldn’t find anyone for doubles. But since you’re still recovering from your injury and shouldn’t be doing intense exercise, it worked out that the school assigned me a partner. That’s one problem solved.”Finally, she grabbed her backpack, ran out the door, and called back to him, “I won’t be back for lunch. You’ll have to handle it yourself.”Without paying any attention to Lucius’s dejected look, which resembled the Titanic

Cynthia’s eyes nearly bulged out of her head in fury. “Are you out of your mind? Call the school security! How did they let such a lunatic in?”Fanny looked at the man, who was so charming despite his rebellious demeanor. There was something particularly attractive about a bad-boy look.Seeing Fanny gaping at the man with starry eyes only made Cynthia more enraged. She shoved Fanny hard, shouting, “Go on, hurry up!”The man gave Cynthia a sidelong glance and grinned, “Security let me in. I’m just here to deliver something.”With that, he turned and headed towards the gymnasium.“So he’s just a delivery guy, acting all high and mighty,” Fanny commented, seeing Cynthia’s face turn pale with anger. Fearing that Cynthia might take her frustration out on her, she hurried to pacify her.Caleb Reed smirked. Lately, he had indeed become a delivery man.

What a handsome delivery guy.Everyone was captivated by Caleb Reed's outstanding appearance.Some couldn’t resist taking photos with their phones and posting them online with the caption: “The most handsome delivery guy just arrived.”Isabella looked at him and recognized him as the fast-track driver often called by Lucius.When did he become a delivery man?She stared at Caleb in confusion and said, “I didn’t order a tennis outfit.”Caleb, showing a face weary from Lucius’s torment, said, “Your man ordered it for you. Ah, life is tough; please sign for it quickly.”He didn’t want to be the center of attention just for delivering clothes and was eager to leave.Oh, so Lucius ordered it. Hmm, a bit touched; didn’t expect him to be so considerate.Seeing Caleb Reed’s troubled expression, Isabella i

Cynthia glared at Isabella, who was standing in the center of the court looking stunning, her teeth clenched in anger.Why did Isabella always have such a good life? Loved by her grandfather, cherished by her father, and adored by Samuel.Cynthia had schemed to take everything Isabella had, but she couldn’t overshadow Isabella’s dazzling brilliance.Cynthia glared fiercely at Isabella, her lips bleeding from the force of her bite.Fanny, feeling frustrated, countered, “No matter how luxurious it is, it can't be more expensive than Cynthia’s sportswear. Her outfit costs over ten thousand dollars.”The crowd erupted in laughter.Those who knew the industry understood that for MCM, the world’s top luxury brand, such diamond-studded high-end apparel would cost several hundred thousand.A ten-thousand-dollars outfit couldn’t compare to a hundr

Isabella smiled, thinking of her grandfather. Her love for tennis was nurtured by him when she was young. Later, she was recruited into the school team when she started junior high. After her grandparents passed away and she returned to the Rivera family, she hadn’t touched a tennis racket again.While everyone was congratulating her, the list of participants for the mixed doubles and the match schedule was announced.Isabella scanned the list from top to bottom and was shocked to find that her name wasn’t there.Confused, she asked the coach, “Coach, I signed up for the mixed doubles. Why isn’t my name on the list?”The coach looked at the list and confirmed Isabella’s name was missing. He said, “I’ll check with the sports committee.”Isabella felt uneasy, sensing that something might be wrong.Sure enough, when the coach returned, he looked anxious. “The pa

Although Lucius had deliberately lowered the brim of his cap, making it almost impossible for people around him to see his face, his outstanding presence and strikingly handsome figure made him stand out like a crane among chickens.An extraordinary aura and unique charm are impossible to hide.He stood there like a shining star, drawing many curious glances.He couldn't stand hearing from Caleb Reed at home that his girl was in trouble. Even though he shouldn’t have shown up, the thought of his Bella suffering made him restless. In the end, he couldn’t resist and came out to save the day.The counselor looked at Lucius in surprise and asked Isabella, “Who is this?”“He’s a friend of mine who came to team up with me for the mixed doubles match,” Isabella explained to the counselor.For some reason, Isabella felt extremely uncomfortable with the numerous envio

“Y-you...” Cynthia’s face turned bright red from Lucius’s words. After struggling to find a response, she couldn’t utter a single word and, in frustration, gave Fanny a fierce glare.Fanny had embarrassed her completely today.Fanny awkwardly covered her sleeve and stammered in an attempt to cover up, “My clothes are pure cashmere. They pill easily, not because they’re poor quality...”“Shut up!” Cynthia was mortified, feeling she might as well kneel before Fanny’s ignorance. Bringing Fanny today was an incredibly foolish decision.Fanny must have had her brains kicked by a mule to wear such clothes, and now Lucius had caught her out.As the second daughter of the Rivera family, having friends so impoverished they can’t afford decent clothing made Cynthia’s face burn with shame. What would people think if word got out?Cynthia glared at Fanny and turned to th

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

In the heavy armor, Isabella felt as if her legs were filled with lead, making each step laborious.She took a deep breath, using her core strength to try and maintain a valiant appearance.After numerous adjustments and attempts, her steps began to look more confident and graceful. The armor, instead of seeming cumbersome, added a substantial and authentic feel to her portrayal.Unlike many productions that use lightweight, superficial props, this armor, crafted from real iron, was heavy and lent a genuine sense of the historical battlefield.The weight of the armor, though exhausting, contributed to the realism of her performance, making the historical context feel palpable.Every step she took was a struggle, but she carried herself with unwavering determination, her feet steady and resolute.The armored general she portrayed wasn’t grandiose like a mythical hero but had a commendable presence, showcasing the strength and dignity of a wom

Isabella’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Of course, I’d love to. If the director gives me the opportunity, I’ll definitely perform well.”The assistant director was charmed by her enthusiasm and laughed heartily, “So confident! I like your drive. Alright, come on over and we’ll do the audition.”Isabella eagerly followed the assistant director.Her excited demeanor immediately caught Cynthia’s attention.When Cynthia learned that Isabella was auditioning for a special role, she was relieved.Although a special role was a step up from a temporary background actor, it was still quite demanding and tough, often involving dirty and strenuous work.Special roles, especially those requiring dangerous stunts, were usually assigned to tough individuals, so it seemed odd for a delicate girl like Isabella to be called for a special role.Curious about what role Isabella might play, Cynthia decided to follow along.Isabella followed the a

When Isabella appeared on set again, the most surprised were Cynthia and Director Martez.Seeing Isabella’s serene expression, Cynthia felt a bit uneasy and quickly forced a smile. “Sister, you finished the shoot so soon?”Isabella remained composed. “Yes, it’s done. Unlike you, who always seems to be acting.”The remark was sharp, and Cynthia immediately sensed the underlying tone.Cynthia pondered over Isabella’s reaction.Logically, she should have been upset after being scammed. But her calm and neutral demeanor made it hard to guess what had really happened.Director Martez watched as Isabella returned and felt a wave of anxiety. He knew that the announcement was definitely a fake scam ad. Perhaps this young lady had already been scammed, was in tears with nowhere to turn, and was coming back to blame him?Thinking this
