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
After leaving the hospital, Isabella called Sherry. She asked her mundane questions like, "What are you doing?" and "Do you miss me?" It was all quite boring.At this moment, Sherry found Isabella's behavior peculiar. She hung up the phone as she was in the midst of a rehearsal for her concert. Just then, a staff member rushed backstage."Sherry, someone has sent something for you," the staff member said hurriedly.Sherry paused for a moment and followed the staff member to the backstage area. There, she saw a group of people surrounding a grand piano."A crystal piano, oh my goodness!""It's so beautiful! It must be worth millions!"Sherry's assistant, Kit, handed her a card. "Sherry, this came with the piano," she said.Sherry took the card, and it had only a few words written on it.[Sherry, wishing you a successful concert.]It was from Nathan.As Sherry looked at the piano, a sarcastic smile appeared on her face. Nathan didn't like her performing in concerts, didn't like her bein
Isabella looked at Ethan's indifferent appearance and clenched her teeth in anger. "Other CEOs have personal doctors who come to their homes. Why can't you find a doctor to come here and see you?"Ethan paused for a moment, finding it uninteresting that way. He sighed, "Since you don't want to accompany me, I won't force you."Ethan put on his coat, and unsurprisingly, Isabella followed his footsteps. They entered the exclusive elevator and arrived at the parking lot. Isabella sat in the passenger seat.Isabella stared at him discontentedly. "You sold Nathan multiple times. Is that how you treat your friends?"Ethan responded, "You are more important to me than any brother or anyone else.""I don't care. This man won't disturb my heart!"Ethan drove away, and Isabella put on her mask. He looked slightly displeased. "Are you afraid of people seeing us together?""No, I'm afraid of you infecting me."With that, Ethan silently took out a mask himself.During the journey, Isabella didn't
In the following moments, Isabella ignored whatever Ethan was saying. She tried to calm her emotions and plan what to do next. Lost in her thoughts, Isabella ended up dozing off on the chair.Ethan looked at the empty bottle of medicine and then at the sleeping Isabella. Helplessly, he stood up and pressed the call button.The hospital room fell into silence. Ethan's head felt heavy and he kept staring at Isabella's peaceful sleeping face, reminiscing about their past moments. His heart seemed to grow even more determined. Love could overcome anything, as long as it was strong enough. But Isabella didn't love him at all. Thinking about this, Ethan's heart grew colder once again.Isabella slept soundly, lost in a long dream. In her dream, she fell in love with Ethan. But during their engagement, news arrived from the Turner family about a project going wrong, and Ethan disappeared from the engagement banquet. The Turner heiress became a laughingstock. Their family went bankrupt, and th
Isabella and Sherry discussed throughout the night. The next day, the first thing Isabella did when she arrived on set was to confront Nadia and then confront Colin. Nadia was immediately kicked out of the crew.Three days later, in the evening, as Isabella finished work, she received a phone call from the doctor. The results of the paternity test were out. She hurriedly rushed to the hospital to collect the sealed documents, praying in her heart. "Oh God, please let Sherry be my Tricia."With a nervous and tumultuous heart, Isabella opened the file. Flipping through the pages, she reached the last page, where it was clearly written that she and Sherry had no blood relation.Isabella's eyes dimmed, and her heart sank to the bottom. She felt utterly devastated. Sherry was not her Tricia.To be honest, Isabella hadn't held too much hope from the beginning, but in these three days, as she carefully thought about it, the sense of familiarity she felt with Sherry, Sherry's aversion to ging
Isabella rushed to Kit's side after twenty minutes, while she was still signing autographs for her fans. Kit urgently whispered in her ear, "Sherry, Sherry has been taken away by Nathan."Isabella's face changed, and she quickly finished signing the last autograph. She addressed the fans, "I'm sorry, everyone. I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I have to leave." She grabbed Kit and hurriedly asked, "What happened?""Sherry went to the restroom and hasn't come back for a long time. She didn't take her phone either. I just checked the surveillance footage, and she was knocked out and taken away by Nathan."Isabella immediately contacted Karl, but he was unavailable at this crucial moment. She could only call Benjamin for help in finding someone. They left the scene and Isabella also removed Ethan from the blacklist, then dialed his number.Ethan had been on a business trip in another city for the past three days. He had just landed when he received Isabella's call. His mood imp
On the island, Nathan and Sherry were sitting on the balcony. In these three days, Nathan had acted normally, asking her to sing and play the piano for him, talking about past memories, and enjoying activities by the beach. They had done everything they were supposed to do.Sherry's body ached all over, and she spoke in a cold voice, "Nathan, the three days are over."Nathan looked at her and opened his mouth to ask, "Sherry, do you hate me a lot?"Hate him? Of course she did. On that night when she was eighteen, Sherry had almost been assaulted by her father's creditor. It was a night of heavy rain and thunder. Ever since, she had developed a fear of rainy nights.The most terrifying night was orchestrated by Nathan himself.She had endured her mother's suffering for three years, being deceived all along, and spent years without any freedom as a canary. How could she not hate him?Seeing her silence, Nathan smiled and said, "Sherry, do you know? We met when we were fifteen."That day
Isabella and Ethan's wedding was filled with luxury and extravagance. Just like the proposal, they invited reporters and many of Isabella's fans, making it a grand and spectacular event.On stage, Isabella wore a pristine white haute couture wedding gown, with each piece of jewelry worth billions. She looked breathtakingly beautiful, standing beside Ethan in his black suit as they exchanged vows and rings. Witnessing this scene, everyone was moved to tears.When the photos of the wedding were posted online, everyone sent their blessings. Along with the well-wishes, everyone couldn't help but envy Isabella.During the wedding ceremony, Sophia and Charles almost got into a fight while fighting for the bouquet.Ryan confessed his sincere feelings to Sandra once again, but Sandra didn't accept his proposal. She didn't believe in the idea of a prodigal son turning over a new leaf.Annie also confessed her feelings, but Eric rejected her once again. Eric had moved on from Isabella but had n
Soon, it was the anniversary celebration of the Turne Group. Despite the family's initial reluctance to host the event due to recent events, Benjamin refused and hoped that life would return to normal for everyone.At the banquet, Isabella's identity was already known to everyone. But on stage, after grandparents announced Sherry's identity, everyone was once again shocked.Isabella looked at the absent-minded Sherry and asked, "Tricia, what's wrong?""Colin was supposed to come today, but he called me half an hour ago saying he had something to attend to and would be late. I feel something is not right," Sherry replied.Ethan, who was nearby, remembered Nathan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and said, "I hope nothing bad has happened."Isabella glared at him and said, "Don't worry, maybe he's preparing a surprise for you."Just as Sherry was about to nod, she received a call from Colin. Something had indeed happened, but it wasn't about Colin—it was about Nathan.Ethan, Isabella
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Isabella and Ethan took Leo to the amusement park, and the little one was very happy. His illness was slowly improving, but Isabella was still worried because there was still no news of Sara.Early on the third day, as the photos of Isabella and Ethan playing in the amusement park with Leo spread on the internet, they quickly became a hot topic. Leo already bore some resemblance to Isabella, and with the photo circulating, people started speculating about unmarried parenthood, Isabella's secret child, and various other rumors.While Isabella was having breakfast and watching the entertainment news, she hadn't even had a chance to contact Ava to clarify the situation when both her and Ethan's phones rang simultaneously. It was her father calling on one line and his father on the other.Isabella and Ethan exchanged a glance and stood up to answer the calls. On the other end, Caleb's voice came through with an air of aggression. "Isabella, wha
Upon waking up, Benjamin immediately removed the needles and went to the pediatric ward to find Sara. Isabella didn't stop him; she knew she couldn't. Upon entering the ward, Benjamin didn't see Sara's figure, and his eyes dimmed instantly.Seeing their arrival, Leo immediately put down his phone and walked up to Benjamin, furrowing his brows as he asked, "Where's Mommy?"Benjamin crouched down, looking at Leo's innocent face, and his deep eyes turned red again. He hugged Leo tightly.Leo was confused and pushed him away, asking, "Where's Mommy?"Benjamin looked at him and softly said, "Your Mommy has something to take care of, so she went away for now. She asked me to take good care of you.""That's impossible! Mommy would never leave me with you."Isabella chuckled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can call your Mommy to confirm."Leo quickly took out his phone and dialed his Mommy's number, which was answered promptly."Mommy, where did you go?""Leo, Mommy has something urge
The autumn wind blew over the two of them, and Benjamin's words resonated in Sara's ears. Her eyes turned red. There were many things she wanted to say, but in the end, she pushed Benjamin away. Sara knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. Karl had already been exposed, and it wouldn't take long for Benjamin to uncover everything. She held back the tears in her eyes, pushed Benjamin away, and spoke with an icy tone, "Yes, I am Sara." Although Benjamin was already certain in his heart, hearing her admission still stirred something within him. It was good. She was still alive. He began, "Sara..." Before he could finish his sentence, Sara interrupted him. Her voice was ice-cold to the extreme. "Benjamin, I am Gordon Jones' person. I approached you from the beginning with a purpose. I have never loved you. And appearing before you as Rita is also part of a plan to harm your family." Benjamin's gaze flickered. He believed her words. "No, you couldn't have never loved me. You've alway
Isabella stood frozen, watching Rita. This was definitely the most exciting scene she had witnessed in her over twenty years of life. Sara wasn't dead! And she had a son? Isabella felt an urge to grab a bottle of makeup remover and splash it on this "Rita's" face!Sara's words fell on Benjamin's ears, but he didn't say anything. He simply stared at her intently, sensing the attention from onlookers. Benjamin reached out and pulled Sara into the elevator, leaving quickly."Mummy!... Let go of my mummy!" Leo was about to chase after them, but Isabella hurriedly held him back. "Little one, your mummy and my older brother have something to talk about. Are you feeling sick? Should I take you to get an injection?"Upon hearing this, Leo felt like crying!"Bad aunt, let go of me!" Leo struggled, but he couldn't match Isabella's strength."What bad aunt? Call me Auntie!"Arriving in the hospital room, as Leo was about to run after them, Isabella held him back and smiled, saying, "Don't worry,
After lunch, Isabella went to Turne Group and told Benjamin that Karl already knew that he and Ethan hadn't broken up. While speaking, Isabella stared at Benjamin and asked, "Big brother, why do you look so pale? Is your cold not better yet?"Benjamin coughed lightly and replied, "I just took some medicine. It's nothing, don't worry."Isabella frowned, quickly got up, and touched Benjamin's forehead, which was very hot. "This is not okay! Come on, let's go to the hospital and see a doctor."Isabella directly snatched the files from Benjamin's hand, closed them, and urged him to go to the hospital.Upon arriving at the hospital, Benjamin stood still. In the crowd not far from the lobby, he stared intently at a familiar figure.Over the years, he had come across numerous people with back figures similar to Sara's, and the most similar one was Rita. And at this moment, the person was indeed Rita.Following Benjamin's gaze, Isabella said, "Isn't that Rita? We couldn't find her whereabouts
At this moment, Karl was in a small villa in northern Myanmar. Many people were surprised by Ethan's online announcement that he and Isabella hadn't broken up, but Karl wasn't surprised at all."Dad, give up! It's impossible for us to destroy the Turner Group with our current capabilities."He had been monitoring the Turner Group for years but hadn't found any leverage. Now, with the addition of the Adams Group as their collaborators...Beside Karl sat a man in his fifties, sitting in a wheelchair. He had gray hair, a weathered face, and his eyes were fixed on the blooming magnolia outside the window—Maisie's favorite flower.Gordon Jones's gaze was cold. "Give up? Have you forgotten how your mother died? And your uncles? It's all because of their family.""If only you had made Isabella fall in love with you back then, there wouldn't be the Adams family helping them now!"Karl fell silent. If it were anyone else, he would have wholeheartedly helped his father, but the other person was
Kathy, sitting on the couch, was happily scrolling through her phone, watching Isabella being criticized. Ever since Ethan and Isabella's relationship was exposed, Kathy had been keeping a close eye on Isabella. She knew that Isabella's popularity in the entertainment industry was growing, and she would eventually surpass her. So Kathy decided to expose her.Although Isabella's identity was from the Turne family, Kathy believed that as long as she could ruin Isabella's reputation, it would be enough. What could Isabella, who was now infamous, do to her?Setting her phone aside, Kathy was about to go to the refrigerator to grab a drink when the door opened. It was her father returning home. Kathy looked puzzled and asked, "Dad, didn't you just go to the company? Why are you back?"Before she could finish her sentence, her father slapped her across the face.Kathy was stunned, "Dad, you..."Her father interrupted her angrily, "Look at what you've done, Kathy! Couldn't you have discussed
