There was indeed a mountain climbing trip today. Julia and Kathy couldn't participate due to catching a cold last night, so Isabella, along with two others, leisurely climbed to the mountaintop.The next day, they had a charity event in a nearby village. Both Kathy and Isabella behaved themselves. This season of the show had a pleasant ending.In the evening, as the group drove back to the city center in a business car, Kathy spoke fiercely, "Isabella, I won't let you get away with this!"Isabella ignored her and confidently got into her own car with her belongings.As she pulled the car out of the garage, Julia was still waiting for a taxi, seemingly remembering something. Isabella stepped on the brakes and glanced at Julia outside the window.Julia looked wary with a guarded expression."Do you want me to get down and pull you up?" Isabella said casually.Julia reluctantly got into the car. It was broad daylight, so Isabella wouldn't do anything to harm her, right?Isabella stepped
Ethan calmly sat down on the sofa in the lobby, watching Sherry's figure as she walked away. He spoke slowly, "Nathan sent me here."A trace of displeasure flashed across Isabella's face. He came to find her, but it seemed like he didn't come for her."Why did he send you?" Isabella asked.Ethan glanced at the sign on the front desk that read, "Nathan Reynolds not allowed inside."How childish. Only Isabella could do such a thing.Ethan didn't bother with her and asked calmly, "How is Sherry doing?""Not good, not good at all," Isabella sighed, looking upset. "Although she appears focused on her work, when she's alone... I just saw her wiping away tears on the balcony.""Is that so?" Ethan's eyes were filled with curiosity.Isabella's face grew heavy, and she sighed softly. "Yes, go and tell Nathan that if he doesn't want Sherry to suffer even more, he should leave her alone."Upon hearing this, Ethan clicked his tongue, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes."What are you laughing a
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Isabella ordered a lot of expensive dishes, giving off an air of wanting to bankrupt Ethan. Once the waiter left the private room, she stared at Ethan and spoke, "Don't tell Nathan about Sherry's situation!"Ethan didn't respond immediately but instead asked, "Who is Carey?""None of your business," Isabella snapped back.A faint smile tugged at the corner of Ethan's mouth as he casually replied, "I don't see the necessity of helping you hide it from Nathan."Isabella took a sip of water, trying to calm herself. "He's my college classmate," she explained. "He's a wealthy heir in the financial industry. His family has always been rich. Back in college, Carey confessed his feelings for me, but I rejected him. After the rejection, Carey didn't pursue me further. Instead, he became my fan and has been eliminating anyone who tries to pursue me. In Carey's eyes, no one is worthy of me. He's a strange rich second-generation.""Is that so?" Ethan narrowed his
It was 2 a.m. Isabella, in a drunken state, took a taxi back to the villa. Running through the rain, Isabella arrived at the doorstep of the villa and was stunned when she saw Ethan standing there."What are you doing here?" she asked.Ethan had just arrived and had been pressing the doorbell for a while with no response. Just as he was getting confused, Isabella showed up.He glanced at his watch. It was only 2 a.m. Where had she been?"I'm asking you a question, Ethan!"Ethan snapped out of his thoughts and reached out to wipe the raindrops off her face, but Isabella immediately stepped back."What are you doing?" She looked at him with caution. "Ethan, there are surveillance cameras here. It's late at night. If you try anything with me..."Isabella could tell that both she and Ethan had been drinking. Suspicious at the moment, she wondered if the alcohol had made him angry about what he had done before and if he was seeking revenge.Ethan's lips twitched. What was she constantly th
The words "I've been pursuing you" echoed in Isabella's ears, and for a moment, she doubted if she was hearing things. The atmosphere in the carriage became strange.Isabella blinked, uncertain, and asked, "Pursuing me?"Ethan nodded earnestly."Ethan, have you lost your mind? Pursuing me? Don't you know who I am? Your mind must be messed up. I'll immediately inform my brother about this good news," Isabella said, happily taking out her phone.Ethan's expression showed a hint of displeasure as he approached her and stopped her from making the call. "Isabella, I'm serious.""I seriously doubt your sanity. How about you go to the hospital and get yourself checked? I'll cover the medical expenses," Isabella retorted, glancing at him.He looked at Isabella with a deep and magnetic voice. "I've been angry all these days because of the deception you played on me."Isabella scoffed, "Angry? How fascinating!"Suppressing his anger, Ethan continued in a slow voice, "Actually, on the night when
Isabella looked around the room full of people, and she suddenly realized that she had walked right into a trap. Everyone in the club was probably under his control, including the manager who intentionally led them to this floor. She had underestimated the situation. She could handle two people, but facing so many... it was a mistake, a big mistake.Isabella turned around, intending to run, but the man's stern voice stopped her in her tracks. "Leaving Elroy behind, huh?" She paused and looked back at him, sensing the hidden anger in his eyes.In another room, Sherry watched Isabella standing motionless at the door. She was about to approach and ask about the situation when Isabella gave her a subtle eye signal. Sherry took a step back, realizing something was wrong. She hurriedly ran to the elevator, pulled out her phone, and tried to contact Isabella's two brothers. But she didn't have their phone numbers! Sophia and Olivia probably had them, but she hadn't saved their contacts. What
When Ethan received Sherry's call, he was visiting Nathan at the hospital, who had caught a cold after getting drenched in the rain all night. Naturally, both of them hurried over to the club. Luckily, they arrived in time, and everyone was safe.Ethan believed that saving Isabella would somewhat ease her attitude towards him. However, as he looked at the stubborn Isabella, he became displeased and arrogantly scooped her up and placed her in the passenger seat.Ethan sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away. He glanced at Isabella and said, "Afraid I'll take advantage of you?"Isabella replied coldly, "Go to the hospital."Ethan was dissatisfied with her attitude and said again, "Isabella, I just saved you. Who asked you to come and rescue me? I didn't need you."Isabella was unhappy with herself. She admitted that she had been foolish tonight. If she had called Benjamin earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. It was Ethan who came to save her.Isabella
In the room, Sherry and Isabella lay on the bed after freshening up. Isabella knew very well that tonight's incident was related to Kathy; it was probably her revenge plan."Sherry, don't you find it strange? In theory, when Elroy disappeared, the contestants should have contacted the director. Why did they come to you?" Isabella asked.Sherry nodded, "Exactly, I was just thinking about that! The contestants don't even have my contact information."Upon hearing this, Isabella furrowed her brows even deeper. "So, it means they didn't involve you because of me. They wanted to retaliate against both of us. Sherry, do you have any enemies?"Sherry didn't need to think twice. "Yes, Nadia. She is Nathan's admirer and a close friend of Kathy."Isabella cursed angrily, "A bunch of despicable women!"If Ethan and Nathan didn't arrive in time, both of them would be ruined tomorrow. Thinking about Ethan, Isabella suddenly felt like she had become somewhat indifferent...On the other side, Nadia
