2024-10-29 19:42:56Although 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

The scoreboard: "3-0"Wade’s side lost another point.Wade’s eyes were bloodshot. "Again!"The scoreboard: "4-0"Wade’s side kept losing points.Wade coughed up blood. "Again!"...Wade collapsed, flat on his back, foaming at the mouth.Lucius casually flicked his racket, wiped the sweat from his face, and with a relaxed smile.Isabella stood there in a daze, watching the two men battle it out. For the entire second half, she and Cynthia had nothing to do; they just went through the motions. The match had turned into a showdown between these two men.Wade, beaten down by Lucius’ relentless attacks, lay motionless on the ground. His pride and arrogance had been shattered into pieces. His heart, torn and bleeding, cried out, “Did I just face a superhuman?”I

Isabella stared blankly at Lucius, completely lost in the complexity of his explanation. But she knew that if he realized how clueless she was, he’d definitely make fun of her.So, she pretended to have a sudden epiphany and nodded like a seasoned expert. "Oh, I see. That makes perfect sense."Lucius nearly burst out laughing. He had been making things up as he went along and didn’t understand it himself. He wondered what on earth she thought she understood.Isabella, earnest and eager to learn, continued to ask, "How exactly do you hear the sound waves and judge the ball’s trajectory?"Lucius narrowed his eyes, feigning mystery. "Do you want to learn?""Of course!" Isabella, ever the diligent student, looked up at him with wide, curious eyes, full of admiration.Touched by her curiosity, Lucius decided to go along with it and began his ‘lesson’ without holdi

Isabella started pacing back and forth in the room. “It’s exactly because I have to take you that I’m feeling so much pressure!”Lucius got dizzy watching her, and with a sudden burst of impatience, he shot up from the sofa. He cornered Isabella against the wall, practically inches from her face.“I don’t like this indecisive version of you,” he said, his voice firm. “The Isabella I admire is strong, never gives up, and faces challenges head-on without fear—always charging ahead like a little engine. The Riveras isn’t some den of tigers or wolves. What are you so scared of?”Isabella stared at Lucius in shock.Gone was his usual playful demeanor. His expression was serious, more serious than she’d ever seen, and his eyes burned with encouragement and expectation.His words resonated like a powerful bell, echoing through her chest.The crushing weight of lonel

No wonder Isabella had only seen Grandma Moore today.Grandma Moore continued talking, finally noticing the tall, handsome man beside Isabella. Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked Lucius up and down with evident delight. “Isabella, is this your boyfriend? Oh, what a fine young man he is, so handsome and dignified. I’ve never seen such a good-looking young fellow before.”With a beaming face, Grandma Moore patted Lucius on the back. “You better take good care of Isabella. Even her grandpa’s spirit is watching over you!”Lucius was quite pleased with Grandma Moore referring to him as ‘Isabella’s boyfriend.’ He immediately seized the opportunity, wrapping his arm around Isabella’s shoulder and flashing a sweet, honeyed smile. “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll take great care of this silly girl.”Isabella’s face turned a bright red. She discreetly pinched Lucius.Lucius winced and b

Lucius immediately seized the opportunity to pile on, “You’re being abusive. Even Grandma can see it.”Isabella hurriedly defended herself, “Grandma, it’s really not like that...”Grandma Moore cut in decisively, “It’s normal for a couple to have a little argument, but fighting is not acceptable.”Isabella wanted to explain further but felt her words would never be enough. “Grandma, you really misunderstand. It’s not...”Grandma Moore, ever pragmatic, offered her advice, “In marriage, you should treat each other with respect!”Seeing that Grandma Moore was giving Isabella no room to argue, Lucius was very satisfied and let her handle it. He strolled around the house, observing the surroundings with curiosity.The house was indeed quite old, almost like a historical relic in its own right.As he wandered, Lucius’s attention was suddenly ca

Cynthia was wearing a high-end custom-made pink gown, exquisitely crafted with the Louis Vuitton logo visible. The dress looked luxurious and enchanting on her, instantly attracting the admiration of many guests.“I’ve heard that the Rivera’s daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and seeing her today confirms it.”“Miss Rivera is truly not just a pretty face; she’s indeed stunning and charming.”“A beautiful flower needs a complementary green leaf. The second miss’s designer outfit enhances her exceptional beauty.”“I heard that Miss Rivera is not only beautiful but also very smart, having been accepted into the top-tier Aetheron Film Academy!”“So impressive—she’s bound to become a big star in the future!”Hearing the endless praise, Cynthia felt pleased with herself. She walked towards her parents with her head held high and chest out.

Isabella ignored Samuel completely, reflecting inwardly on how blind she had been to ever be attracted to such a man. “I don’t think there’s anything disgraceful about earning a living through honest work. Besides, My Dad asked me to bring him today.”Samuel, who had previously been accustomed to Isabella’s obedience, was infuriated by her refusal to even look at him. He could only manage to squeeze out, “Stubborn fool!”Cynthia’s gaze shifted between the two, a hint of triumphant satisfaction crossing her eyes. She then stepped forward, took Samuel’s hand, and sympathetically said, “Samuel, since my sister is so supportive of her husband, it shows they must be genuinely in love. True love transcends status; we should wish them well.”At that moment, a deep, melodious voice like a cello came from behind, “Second Miss is right. Isabella and I are indeed genuinely in love.”Lucius approached, carrying

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
