When Isabella spoke to this point, Mrs. Ada and Elowen couldn't say anything more and instead began to chat casually."Isabella, why didn’t you bring your child home? We even prepared gifts," Elowen quickly changed the subject.Isabella maintained her lukewarm attitude. Back then, her child was viewed as illegitimate by the family, and they couldn't wait to get rid of him. Now that they knew he was Andrew’s son, they wanted to cozy up to him. Wasn't it a bit too late?"He's still young and likes to make noise. It wouldn’t be good if he disturbed Grandma.""At Mrs. Ada's age, she loves having a lively atmosphere. Bring the child over when you have time; it’ll make our family happy," Elowen said with a bright smile.No matter what Elowen said, Isabella just nodded in agreement. Whether she would actually do it was another matter.With nothing to say to Isabella, Mrs. Ada turned her attention to scolding Emily."Emily, Isabella’s child is already running around, but there’s still no sign
In the mall, the shop assistant was taking Isabella's measurements.After the measurements were done, Isabella sat down next to Olivia and started chatting."Isabella, what's with those two 'guardians' at the door?" Olivia asked, glancing towards the entrance.At the entrance, two tall and sturdy bodyguards in black suits stood like door guardians.Isabella shrugged helplessly and replied, "Andrew sent them. After the Mitchell family scandal, he was worried that Victoria would act like a mad dog and attack randomly, so he sent two bodyguards to protect me."In fact, Andrew had said: "Victoria is insane and ruthless. She didn't hesitate to harm a man she shared a bed with for years, let alone you. I feel more at ease with two skilled bodyguards following you."Isabella didn't think much of it. Caleb had used Victoria for years, even making her sleep with other men for benefits. It was only fair that he was bitten back. Isabella had no dirt on her that Victoria could use, so she wasn't
"If that drunkard is so obsessed that he doesn't care about his wife and children, then what do we do?" Ryan asked again."We'll do whatever needs to be done," Andrew said, his blue eyes turning icy cold, his tone devoid of warmth.Ryan nodded. "That deranged woman Victoria deserves to die. If we don't get rid of her, she might harm Luna."Andrew pursed his lips coldly. Victoria had truly angered him this time."Boss, I'll get to work. I'll inform you as soon as there's news." Ryan stood up leisurely. Just as he reached the door, Andrew's voice sounded again from behind."Ryan, keep my hospitalization under wraps," Andrew said, his blue eyes still cold.As the CEO of the Turner family conglomerate, any disturbance in his life could impact the company. If word of his car accident and hospitalization got out, it could cause stock fluctuations, shareholder panic, and give people like Thomas an opportunity to exploit the situation.Ryan made an OK gesture to show he understood. Then he pu
Samuel, dressed in a white coat, continued to deceive Layla and Isabella, claiming that Andrew's condition was a normal reaction to a concussion. Fortunately, Layla and Isabella knew little about medical knowledge and were too worried to think clearly, their minds entirely focused on Andrew. Otherwise, if they had looked it up online, Samuel would have been exposed.Andrew was in a coma for two days, during which Isabella stayed by his side without eating or drinking, taking care of him. She visibly lost weight, her face turned pale, and her eyes were bloodshot."Isabella, Samuel said Andrew won't wake up for a while. Go get some rest, I'll watch over him," Layla said to her.Isabella stubbornly shook her head, half-lying on Andrew's bedside, tightly holding his hand and refusing to let go, afraid that if she did, he would disappear.Layla was infuriated and said coldly, "He's in a coma now. What good is it for you to stay here? If he wakes up and you collapse, it will only make him w
"Hey, you guys, don't you have any sense? Hurry up and untie Torin's wife. Can't you hear that she's cried herself hoarse?" Ryan ordered.Torin sneered after hearing this. He wasn't going to be threatened.After Torin's wife was untied, the camera was still focused on the rooftop railing. Ryan looked at the phone screen and smiled, "That empty railing looks awkward. Tie the kid back up there. Don't tie him too tightly; we don't want to hurt him.""Mr. Ryan, the wind is really strong. What if we can't tie him tight enough and he falls?" one of the men asked."Stop wasting time. Just do what I tell you," Ryan barked. Clearly, he didn't care whether the kid fell or not.Soon, the phone was filled with the sound of the child crying, screaming desperately, "Mom, Mom, I'm scared..."Hearing this, Torin finally reacted, almost jumping out of his chair. "You bastards! How can you go after a child? Are you even human?""Didn't you just say that we rich people are heartless and ruthless? This i
At the same time, the lawyer had already brought Charlotte into the detention center. Charlotte was in such a place for the first time, her face slightly pale, head lowered as she followed behind the lawyer without saying a word.The lawyer led her to a room where after the guard checked the procedures, they were allowed inside. Charlotte sat shoulder-to-shoulder with the lawyer in front of an iron window.Soon, she saw Victoria being escorted in by two female guards. Victoria wore an orange prison uniform, shiny handcuffs on her wrists, looking extremely worn out."Victoria!" Charlotte stood up excitedly from her chair, continuously tapping the iron bed."Mrs. Charlotte, please calm down and take your seat," the lawyer reminded her.Only then did Charlotte sit down, tearfully looking at Victoria and urgently saying, "Victoria, how did you end up like this?"Victoria frowned at her, annoyed that Charlotte was wasting time with such useless questions.Ignoring Charlotte, she turned to
Charlotte's heart was filled with a bitter smile. She had harbored a glimmer of hope that David might have some compassion left, but now, even that last hope was shattered."David, even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. You're not even worthy of being called an animal," Charlotte said coldly."Charlotte, I'm upholding justice. If she broke the law, she should face the consequences," David said firmly.Upon hearing this, Charlotte burst out laughing. "That sounds very noble. Then I'd like to ask you, Deputy Mayor David, should you also face legal consequences if you break the law?""What nonsense are you talking about?" David's face darkened as he glared at her.Charlotte calmly sat down on the nearby sofa, leisurely pulled out her phone from her bag, and played two recordings.The first recording was David's somewhat hysterical voice, saying, "You've always looked down on me, despised my background. Everything I do is wrong in your eyes. Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you were
Amelia was sitting beside, feeding Asher, and she smiled, "Isabella was up late last night practicing how to cook this braised pork ribs. She made it six or seven times, and this plate is the most successful. Because it sat in the fridge for most of the night and was reheated in the microwave, the taste is a little off."After Amelia finished, she added, "Isabella is starting to look more and more like a wife now.""Oh, fine." Andrew chuckled softly, lightly squeezing Isabella's hand.Isabella blushed slightly, shyly looking down. She picked up her fork and placed some vegetables into Andrew's bowl, saying, "Andrew, eat quickly, or it'll get cold."They had a joyful meal together.After dinner, Andrew was showering in the bathroom, and Isabella waited outside, occasionally asking, "Andrew, are you done showering?" After all, he had just been discharged from the hospital, and she was a bit anxious about him showering alone.The response to her question was a loud splash as the door ope
