Of course, the highlight of the Oscars is the most popular male and female lead awards. This has nothing to do with Isabella; she's just here for the show. On the other hand, Victoria starred in 'Irreversible Past,' which grossed thirteen billion and received numerous awards. She also earned a nomination for Best Actress of the Year with this film. Isabella sat beside her. Despite Victoria's facade of nonchalance, her hands were tightly clasped together, unable to hide her nervousness. Isabella sneered subtly. Before they came, Olivia had already mentioned that she probably wouldn't win the Newcomer Award, and Victoria was destined not to get the Best Actress of the Year. Back at the hotel, Isabella casually placed the crystal trophy on the dressing table and eagerly made a video call home. When the phone connected, Amelia appeared on the screen. She had seen Isabella winning on TV and cheerfully congratulated her. "Asher keeps asking to come inside and find you after seeing Mom
Amelia thought back to a couple of days ago when she took Asher back to the Turner family. Andrew's mother, Mrs. Hannah, was inquiring about Asher's mother, and Amelia had to play it off casually. She didn't want to offend either side, but being caught in the middle was an uncomfortable situation. While she pondered, Amelia efficiently unpacked Isabella's luggage. When she almost finished, Andrew returned home. Normally busy, it was rare for the family of three to sit down together for a meal. Andrew ate in a disciplined manner, sitting upright and graceful, making no sound while eating. On the other side of him, Isabella fed Asher and herself simultaneously. The contrasting pair, with one being calm and the other lively, laughing and causing a commotion that could shatter the roof, leaving food crumbs scattered on the floor. The leftovers were pushed directly in front of Andrew, and he had to calmly pick and eat what he could. The Turners were extremely wealthy, especially Andre
"Who knows if he's entertaining for business or for women." Isabella was so angry she was stomping her feet, thinking, "Next month, I must cut the living expenses in half, definitely!" Holding Asher, Amelia sighed with the tone of someone with experience, "I've been busy outside for years, spent little time at home, and my husband couldn't stand the loneliness, ended up having an affair with a female colleague, and finally, it led to divorce." After finishing her words, Amelia's gaze fell on Isabella, as if to say, "Girl, you're rarely at home for extended periods, take care of yourself." Isabella: "…" ... In the afternoon flight, Isabella, accompanied by Olivia and the two newly appointed bodyguards, boarded the plane with a haughty air. She had been so busy for half a month. It wasn't until half a month later that she returned to Ithaca town. As the group arrived at the airport, Olivia hastily went to collect the luggage. Just as she loaded the luggage onto the trolley, her p
"Your company's bankrupt now, what do you have to return to me? You might as well print investment tickets and drop them," Emily pouted reluctantly. James was trembling with anger, struggling to contain it. He asked for the last time, "Emily, even if my dad has no money and is left to die, you're not planning to return the engagement money, are you?" With red eyes, Emily surprisingly put on an aggrieved look, as if he was aggressively pushing her. "A starving camel is bigger than a horse. I don't believe your family is missing that small sum of engagement money..." He couldn't bear to listen to her anymore. He turned and walked away. As he reached the club's entrance, a waiter came up and asked him to pay for the coffee he had just ordered. James, his face darkened, took out his wallet, only to find Emily's photo inside. He let out a bitter laugh, taking the photo out of the wallet, intending to return it to her. However, before he could approach Emily, he overheard her complain
"Oh, look at you, little cutie!" Isabella chuckled and pinched Asher's chubby cheeks, then lifted the child from the ground, struggling a bit under the weight.It seemed the baby had gained quite a bit of weight recently.The family of three went out together, Andrew driving while Isabella sat in the back holding the baby.Throughout the journey, she kept reminding Andrew about William's preferences countless times, afraid he might make a mistake and upset her uncle.Andrew's ears were almost calloused from her incessant reminders. Finally, the car came to a stop in front of a two-story villa.In the trunk were various sizes of gift boxes, all bought for William.With one hand carrying the child and the other holding a pile of gift boxes, Andrew walked with a steady pace, although he seemed a bit strained carrying everything, and the child was fidgeting in his arms.Isabella, on the other hand, walked ahead with both hands empty, swaggering."We're almost there, hang in there. Uncle w
Theodore Lewis was sentenced to thirty years in prison for abusing power for personal gain and corruption. Given Theodore's age, whether he'll make it out of prison alive is a real question. "Don’t look at your phone while driving, and hold onto the child,”Andrew said with a serious face, turning the steering wheel. Isabella stuck her tongue out and obediently tossed her phone aside. The car moved steadily along the flat road. Isabella, holding Asher, casually remarked, “Theodore was sentenced. I wonder who will take his place.” The position of Deputy Mayor in charge of urban development is quite significant. “Former East District Mayor, Logan Miller,”Andrew replied. Isabella was taken aback for a moment. She had just spoken casually and didn’t expect him to respond. “How did you know? The unemployed seem to be quite well-informed.” Andrew naturally had a wide network of information. In his position, being unaware of information could be fatal. Of course, he wouldn’t disclose th
Victoria got David's approval and personally hinted at the Miller family. Mrs. Miller was somewhat satisfied with Isabella; both families were well-matched, and the dowry was ample. The only drawback was Isabella's career. Although Mrs. Miller's son was an actor, he didn't want his wife to be in the limelight. To dispel her concerns, Victoria repeatedly assured that Isabella would retire from the spotlight after marriage and focus on being a good homemaker and mother. Mrs. Miller was content and also asked for Luke's opinion. He usually didn't care much about marriage matters and even had a strong aversion to matchmakers. This time, however, he surprisingly acquiesced. Although Victoria achieved her goal, she wasn't entirely pleased. Luke genuinely wanted to marry Isabella, and if it was genuine affection, Isabella wouldn't be mistreated after marriage. Internally, Victoria didn't want Isabella to marry high and certainly didn't want her married life to be peaceful. However, to s
Isabella felt like a fish in water on the set. After the new reality show aired, her fresh, sunny, and positive image was well-liked by the public. Her popularity soared, and many passersby became her fans.Isabella almost became the biggest winner of this reality show.However, with the rise in fame came negative news and rumors.The first male actor Isabella collaborated with in her acting career was Luke, and unexpectedly, he was one of the regular guest performers in the same reality show.While other male actors on set looked after Isabella, Luke's care was meticulous. He was usually reserved but showed his concern for her through actions. When she was thirsty, he passed water; when it was cold, he offered his coat. In dangerous game segments, he always protected her. When Isabella faced punishment, he repeatedly stood up for her. Once, when she accidentally fell from a two-meter-high platform, he acted as a cushion, injuring his leg. Another time, during a program recording in t
