That night, everyone stayed overnight at their grandparents' house. Isabella and Sherry shared a room. They lay on the same bed, and you can imagine how happy they were."Tricia, I always felt a special connection with you. It's so strange to think that you're my cousin! Tricia, are you happy?" Isabella asked with a smile.Sherry smiled back, "Of course, I'm happy. I'm not sixteen anymore. I'm twenty-five!"As she spoke, Sherry remembered what Amelia had said, and her gaze flickered slightly."What's wrong, Tricia?" Isabella asked, noticing Sherry's hesitation.After some inner struggle, Sherry spoke, "That Amelia..."Isabella pursed her lips, "I've never had a good relationship with her."She sighed, and although Sherry and Amelia were sisters, no matter what, Isabella would never let Amelia off the hook."Tricia..." Isabella said.Sherry smiled and reassured her, "Isabella, no matter what, I'll stand by your side."Among the Turner family members, Sherry didn't have much emotional c
Isabella was shooting an outdoor scene that day, and they hadn't finished work until late in the evening. Everyone was gathered at the pier by the seaside.Ethan had investigated Isabella's schedule and had just arrived outside the set. He didn't have a work permit, and the security guards outside wouldn't let him in. Ethan's face darkened, his gaze displeased. He immediately ordered someone to call the director, Colin.Colin, with his arms crossed, seemed indifferent as he asked, "Mr. Adams, what brings you here?""I'm here to find Isabella.""Sorry, we're working! If you're looking for Isabella, wait until work is over."Colin, who had previously had a falling out with Sherry and the company, regarded Nathan as his love rival, so he naturally didn't have a good impression of Nathan's friend. Ethan furrowed his brows slightly and spoke, "Nathan and I have already broken ties.""Stop lying! That's impossible!" Colin didn't believe him.Ethan clicked his tongue and said with a hint of
Isabella couldn't react in time, but she felt herself being embraced by a strong and warm hold. They both fell to the ground, and a loud bang echoed in their ears. The bullet grazed Isabella's body and hit Ethan's arm as they fell. Isabella quickly got up from Ethan and saw the wound on his arm, accompanied by a pool of blood."Ethan!" Isabella quickly helped him up.Ethan had a serious expression as he covered the bleeding wound with his hand. He looked at Isabella and asked, "Are you okay?"Isabella shook her head."Let's go to the hospital."As they walked, Isabella drove at a speed of over a hundred miles per hour. Ethan, sitting in the passenger seat, had a slightly pale face. He softly reminded her, "Drive slower.""Does it hurt?" Isabella looked at him with concern.Ethan looked at Isabella with a slight smile on his thin lips. His low voice sounded somewhat pitiful, "Yes, it hurts."Isabella, sitting in the driver's seat, didn't offer any comforting words. Instead, she sternly
After hanging up the phone, Isabella knew that her family would probably become suspicious, so she contacted Sophia specifically. Leaving the hospital, Isabella drove, and Ethan in the passenger seat received a message from Colin."The shooter's name is Jeff, 40 years old, a retired soldier who has been working as an extra for years. Colin found the person; he drowned and died. Jeff was diagnosed with leukemia recently, and he has an 18-year-old daughter."So, everything makes sense now. It wasn't a fan at all. Jeff was doing things for the sake of his daughter's future, accepting money and then ending his own life.Ethan called Terry and asked him to investigate who Jeff had been in contact with before. Isabella looked at the road ahead, considering the current situation. Amelia and Kathy were unlikely to be involved. So, who else could it be? She didn't have any enemies anymore! Suddenly, a bold thought emerged in her mind, and she glanced subtly at Ethan beside her."You know, it's
Just as Isabella hung up the phone, Ethan's call came in again. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally answered the phone. On the other end, the man's magnetic voice carried a hint of helplessness. "Isabella, I'm not feeling well."Upon hearing this, Isabella immediately got up and went to Ethan's room. Ethan was lying on the bed, his short hair slightly damp. Isabella frowned and walked up to him, speaking coldly, "Did you take a shower? Didn't the doctor tell you not to?"She sounded harsh. Ethan lowered his gaze and remained silent.Isabella approached and touched his forehead, which was indeed warm."You should get up, let's go to the hospital!"Ethan declined, his voice faint. "No need, I just took my medication.""...Fine."Isabella, dissatisfied, brought a hairdryer and blow-dried his hair. The sound of the hairdryer buzzed in the room. After drying his hair, Ethan said, "Thank you.""You go to sleep! Let me know if the wound hurts..."Just as Isabella was about to leave
Being in love is a romantic thing. The efforts made by both sides make love even more beautiful. After Ethan realized his true feelings, he never hesitated again.Isabella also chose to take a step forward. Perhaps her attitude changed a lot in one day, but at this moment, all she could think about was being with Ethan and having a passionate love affair! Happiness radiated from her face as she reached out and touched Ethan's face. She noticed that his forehead was no longer as hot as before and smiled, "This is the power of love, right? Your fever has gone down!"Hearing her words, Ethan's lips curved slightly.Isabella asked again, "Does your wound hurt?""Not at all."He only felt happiness now."Really?"Ethan nodded solemnly."Okay then, if you feel any pain, let me know." Isabella got up from his embrace and touched his head. "It's getting late, let's go to sleep!"As she was about to leave, Ethan grabbed Isabella's wrist."Do I still have to sleep in the guest room?" he lowered
Isabella picked up her phone and glanced at the flashing name on the screen. It was Eric calling. She looked at Ethan and then pressed the speakerphone button to answer the call."Eric.""Isabella, where are you?"On the other end, Eric's voice sounded a little urgent. Isabella responded, "I'm at home!""I need to talk to you about something. Can I come over?"Isabella raised her gaze and looked at Ethan, who nodded. She then said, "Sure, I'll give you the address later."After ending the call, Isabella sent the address to Eric and then smiled mischievously. "See, don't I give you a sense of security?"Ethan replied, "Not enough."Hearing this, Isabella frowned and looked at him displeased. "Then what else do you want?"Ethan thought for a moment and then said slowly, "Let's announce our relationship on Twitter later!""No way! I refuse! I won't do it!" Isabella protested.Ethan's expression turned unhappy. "You said you wouldn't hide me."Isabella put down her chopsticks, wiped her m
In the afternoon, Isabella arranged for a private doctor to change Ethan's bandages. After the doctor left, Isabella leaned against the man's leg and gently touched the wound on Ethan's arm. "This will probably leave a scar.""It's not a big deal," Ethan said with a faint smile in his eyes. Then he asked her, "Do you want to go out and have some fun?"Isabella nodded, then shook her head. "No, I told my family that I'm filming in the countryside. It wouldn't look good if I were caught."Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Ethan's handsome face. "When will you tell your parents about our relationship?"Isabella poked at Pet, who was sleeping nearby, and smiled. "Why are you in such a hurry? We just got together today. Let our relationship stabilize first.""Our relationship will always be stable," Ethan said, as if he remembered something. He squinted slightly and asked, "You won't play with my feelings, will you?"Isabella immediately sat up straight, glaring at hi
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
