In the afternoon, Isabella continued filming. She actually finished work at four o'clock today and planned to go see Benjamin. She changed her clothes, put on a mask and a hat, and drove alone to the Turne Group.Isabella rarely came here, but Benjamin had instructed the front desk a long time ago, so she just had to give her name and take the elevator upstairs. As she arrived on the floor, the secretary at the office entrance, dressed in professional attire, stood up with a standard smile on her face. "The boss is in a meeting. Please wait in the office for a moment."Isabella looked at the woman in front of her, and their eyes met. She froze.The woman opened the office door and looked at Isabella standing still. "Miss."Isabella snapped out of her daze and stared at her, asking, "What's your name?""Well, my name is Rita."Isabella pursed her lips and then walked into the office.Rita spoke, "What would you like to drink?""Coffee, please."Rita acknowledged and left.Isabella star
Isabella didn't answer the phone in front of Benjamin. Instead, she went to the restroom and leisurely answered the call."Isabella, Amelia is planning to take action," Julia's voice was filled with anxiety. "After the recording of 'Journey Around the World' the day after tomorrow, she wants me to drug you in the water and take you away...""I understand."After hanging up the phone, Isabella chuckled coldly. Amelia, you can't hold back anymore.Returning to the private room, Alexander was already inside. Isabella asked, "Why are you here?""You didn't invite me for dinner. Do you think Benjamin is heartless like you?""I heard you're with Ethan now? You have no principles. You quickly threw yourself into the arms of the enemy."The three siblings hadn't had a meal together for a long time. This dinner was quite enjoyable, although the conversation mostly revolved around Ethan. After finishing the meal, it was already past seven. Isabella declined the offer to go home with the two of
Amelia, seeing that the situation was not in her favor, tried to escape, but she ran into the Turne family at the door. Isabella and Ethan were behind them. Everyone rushed forward in a flustered manner."Isabella!""What's going on?""Are you hurt?" They bombarded her with questions."I'm fine," Isabella said coldly, grabbing Amelia, who was trying to leave. "Cousin, where were you planning to go?"Grandfather furrowed his brows, looking puzzled. "What's going on? What happened?"Isabella's gaze turned icy as she stared at Amelia. "She wanted to kill me.""All the men in this room were hired by her."She didn't forget to defend her boyfriend. "Fortunately, Ethan came in time and saved me."After her words, everyone was dumbfounded. They were shocked to hear Amelia being accused of such things.Grandmother asked sternly, "How is that possible? What's the matter? Did Amelia misunderstand something?"Amelia bit her lip and desperately defended herself, "No, it's not true. Isabella is fr
About twenty minutes later, the lights in the emergency room turned off, and the doctor came out. Everyone quickly stood up. "Rest assured, Mrs. Turne is fine. She will wake up soon." Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The group of people moved from the emergency room to the hospital ward. Isabella stared at Ethan and finally asked, "Is your wound okay? Does it hurt?"Ethan's eyes had a faint smile. "No, it doesn't hurt." Inside the room, Grandma had already woken up, and everyone showered her with concern. Grandpa looked at Benjamin and asked, "Did you catch Amelia?"Benjamin shook his head. "Her car crashed into a tree. It seems she had an accident. When we arrived, there were bloodstains on the steering wheel airbag, and the car's black box was missing, probably taken away by someone."Upon hearing this, Isabella said, "That's impossible! Julia told me that Amelia only hired ten bodyguards, including her accomplice. Who could have assisted her?""So, you already
Ethan sat in the driver's seat, his handsome face lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly took out his phone and dialed a number.The call was quickly answered by his father, who spoke, "Ethan, what's wrong?"Ethan's voice didn't reveal any emotions, remaining calm. "Dad, I miss you."Upon hearing his son say those words for the first time, his father was overcome with emotion, and tears nearly welled up in his eyes. It took him several seconds to regain his composure. "Son! Dad misses you too.""It's all because of Mom. I told her to stay at home for a while and spend time with you, but she insisted on dragging me to this African jungle expedition. Wait for it, Dad, I'll book a ticket to come back immediately!"Just as he finished speaking, his mother's sharp voice came from the other side. "Who do you blame?"Ethan's lips curled up slightly, and he replied calmly, "Dad, Mom, Isabella and I are together now.""What? Didn't you say you didn't like her anymore? It hasn't even been a
The next morning, a news headline dominated the news. Turne Group released a statement claiming that Amelia was not their biological child and that she had caused harm to the Turne family, henceforth cutting ties with her. Everyone was shocked. Not their biological child? Who did she harm? Cutting ties completely? Although it was a brief statement, the information contained within it caused an uproar among netizens.After breakfast, Isabella was preparing to leave with Sherry. Just as she grabbed her bag and headed downstairs, Caleb, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, spoke up, "Hold on, you're not allowed to go anywhere these two days."Upon hearing this, Isabella paused, squinting her eyes slightly. "Why? I still have to go for filming!"Caleb firmly stated, "Amelia hasn't been found yet, and we don't know what she might do behind the scenes. Until she's found, you're not allowed to go anywhere.""Well, why can Tricia and the others go out then?" Isabella crossed her
After Nathan and Ryan walked into the office, they noticed that Isabella was also there. Nathan remained silent, while Ryan’s eyes flashed with a hint of playful humor. He seemed to glance sarcastically at Ethan before turning his gaze towards Isabella, who was grinning from ear to ear.Seeing that his plan had been ruined, Ethan glanced at his two friends and asked in a cold tone, “Is there something you need?”Ryan replied nonchalantly, “I’m fine, just bored.”Nathan pursed his lips and looked at Ethan and then Isabella before finally saying, “Sorry, Isabella. I shouldn’t have kept Sherry’s true identity from you all this time.”Isabella took a sip of her coffee without saying a word. Nathan looked down and continued, “I want to win Sherry back.”After hearing this, Isabella sneered and said, “No chance.”Nathan seemed to have already anticipated this response and he gave a bitter smile before looking at Ethan for help. But Ethan seemed to have ignored his pleading look and kept his
After the interview, Isabella was backstage while Charles was incessantly gossiping beside her.“Who’s your boyfriend?”“Arrogant and rich, who could it be?”Isabella glanced at her phone, where people kept asking who her boyfriend was. Just as she was replying to Ava’s message, a notification popped up on the top of her screen.[Official Adams Group account liked Isabella’s interview.]Isabella furrowed her eyebrows and clicked on it.“Isn’t the person Isabella likes Ethan Adams? I have a bold idea.”“No way, this account isn’t even being used by Ethan.”“Definitely impossible. Ethan said he likes obedient, gentle and sensible women in a previous interview. Which of those words fits Isabella?”“If they were really dating, how could Isabella leave her original agency?”Isabella fell silent with frustration at her boyfriend, Ethan! Charles, who was beside her, also saw the trending topic and asked in surprise, “Could your boyfriend really be Ethan?”Isabella gave him a fleeting glance a

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
