After finishing dinner, Isabella naturally got a ride home from Ethan. If she didn't return home tonight, her father would kick her out of the house.The car arrived at the entrance of the villa, and the two of them got out together. Isabella blinked and looked at the man beside her, saying, "Are you coming in? Aren't you afraid my dad will chase you away?"Upon hearing this, Ethan held her hand and his thin lips curved slightly. He said, "I'm not afraid. My girlfriend will definitely defend me."Isabella smiled and took a step forward, but Ethan pulled her back with a strong force, causing her to bump into his chest. Isabella looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"Ethan's voice was low and gentle. He said, "A kiss. You probably won't be able to kiss me later."With that, he put his arm around Isabella's slender waist and used his other hand to hold the back of her head. He skillfully lowered his head and kissed her lips.Isabella's eyes shimmered, and she closed her eyes, res
Isabella looked at the disconnected phone, her eyes filled with coldness. In theory, she should tell Benjamin and Ethan about it, but Amelia's final words threatened her. The person lurking in the shadows might be Karl helping her. Isabella didn't dare to use the people around her as bargaining chips. This time, she chose to put herself in danger once again. Leaving the fitting room, her phone rang, and it was Ethan calling. Isabella answered, "Ethan."Ethan said, "Are you done? I'll come pick you up."Isabella smiled and replied, "No need, I'm going with my parents as I said. I'll see you later.""Okay, see you later," Ethan's voice carried a hint of displeasure."Okay." Isabella had been calm all along, but now, hearing Ethan's voice, she felt a strange turmoil in her heart. She said, "Ethan, I love you."On the other end of the phone, Ethan raised an eyebrow at the sudden declaration of love. With a smile on his face, his voice magnetic, he replied, "I love you too."After hanging
When Ethan, dressed in a black suit, appeared in the private room, all eyes turned to him. Before Ethan could even greet them, Betty, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Where's Isabella? Weren't you supposed to pick her up?"Upon hearing this, Ethan's face changed, and he furrowed his brow as he responded, "Isabella called me and said she was coming with you all." As soon as the words left his mouth, the room fell silent. They suddenly realized that something must have happened.A hint of panic flashed across Ethan's face as he dialed Isabella's phone, but there was no answer on the other end. The room instantly filled with anxiety. Benjamin and Ethan hurriedly contacted their connections to find Isabella. Just as Ethan was about to leave the private room, his phone rang again. It was Ava calling.Ava's voice was filled with urgency as she said, "The people from the city hospital contacted me. Isabella was in a car accident."Ethan's face immediately changed, and everyone rushed to th
Isabella borrowed a phone from the nurse and dialed a number. It was Karl's number. That man had once made her memorize his phone number, saying that no matter where she was or what happened, she could call him, and he would find a way to help her.The call was quickly answered, and Isabella called out, "Karl."Karl asked, "Isabella, are you okay?"Isabella lowered her gaze, her voice cold, "Do you know what happened to me?""Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on Amelia. I saw her tampering with your car at the filming location in the afternoon."Isabella continued to ask, "Really? Was it you who sent someone to save me?"Karl denied it, "No, are you okay?""It's nothing serious." Isabella smiled, a hint of helplessness in her voice. "When I was younger, I thought this cousin of mine was pretty good, excellent and beautiful. I didn't expect that she would try to take my life time and time again. Karl, will you be like her someday?"Karl laughed, "Are you delirious?""Isabella, I would nev
Amelia is dead. Even though she had contemplated multiple times about taking her own life along with Isabella, in the face of death, she felt fear and regret.Reflecting on her life, Amelia's heart turned cold. She thought to herself that if she hadn't been greedy, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Even without anyone's love, she would still be the envied Miss Turne.Amelia pleaded for mercy from Karl, but it was too late. Amelia was strangled to death by Karl.In the villa room, Isabella buried her head in Ethan's embrace, and the thunder and lightning outside made her feel uneasy."Ethan, I'm scared," Isabella said.Ethan replied, "I'm more scared than you."Isabella raised her gaze. "You, a grown man, are scared of thunder?"The man reached out and touched her face, his voice calm. "I'm afraid of losing you."Upon hearing this, Isabella blinked, and a hint of a smile crossed her face. "You won't lose me. We will always be together.""Really?" he asked.Isabella nodded s
Due to yesterday's accident, Betty specifically contacted Ethan's parents and invited them to have dinner at their house today.In the afternoon, not only the Adams family, but also the Johnson and Anderson families were invited. A group of people sat in the backyard drinking tea.Isabella, Sherry, Olivia, and Sophia chatted while glancing at the elders nearby. Then Isabella looked up at the sky and said softly, "Amelia, look, our family is so happy on the day you died! You must be happy too, right?"Sophia glanced at her and replied, "Wait until your cousin's ghost comes to haunt you."Isabella crossed her arms and said, "I'm not afraid of her as a person, so why would I be afraid of her ghost?"Soon, it was time for dinner. Alexander was busy trying to impress his future father-in-law, while Ethan... didn't need to do anything.Bruce said, "You're impressive, but what's the use? Your daughter is still obediently becoming my son's girlfriend!"Caleb retorted, "Nonsense! It's your son
When Isabella entered the living room and saw Kathy's figure, she froze for a moment, then glanced at Karl sitting next to Charles, and her whole being was taken aback.Ethan's gaze naturally fell on Karl, who was dressed in a black T-shirt. He seemed somewhat familiar, and after a moment, he remembered that this was the man who had previously gone viral with Isabella during a meal.Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to flicker within the gazes of the two men. Ethan pulled Isabella closer, guiding her to sit on the sofa.Isabella glanced at the man opposite her, then opened her mouth and asked, "Karl, what brings you here?" Karl raised an eyebrow, his voice carrying a hint of a smile, "To find someone to fall in love with."In front of the camera, Isabella didn't ask further, but her peripheral vision caught Kathy's gaze fixed on Ethan.The atmosphere in the living room was not awkward. Karl had already gotten acquainted with Charles and Sophia since his arrival. Now, Sophia leaned in
The group began to eat, and Isabella looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her but hesitated to eat. She glanced at Ethan sitting next to her and said softly, "Are you sure you're not trying to poison me?"Ethan leaned against the table, gazing at her with sincerity. "I did my best. This egg seems to have a mind of its own."Ethan casually picked up the fork and said, "Let me try it first."With his confident and arrogant demeanor, Liang Ze was still convinced that despite its appearance, the taste might not be bad. However, as soon as he took a bite, he spat it out, overwhelmed by the excessive saltiness.Ethan elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth and said nonchalantly, "Don't eat it. I'll take you out for a meal later."The director was about to remind them of the rules but hesitated upon noticing Ethan's cold gaze. He decided not to say anything.Isabella sipped her milk, watching everyone else enjoy their meal. Ethan reached out and touched her head, then turned to Karl, w
