The next day, Ethan woke up in a daze and looked at the woman in his arms. The scenes from last night replayed in his mind, and his eyes were filled with gloom.Isabella also woke up, feeling the most pain she had ever experienced throughout her body. But that didn't stop her from summoning all her strength and kicking Ethan off the bed.Ethan got up from the floor and held her in his arms. "I'm sorry, my baby. You had a hard time last night."Isabella glared at him, her voice hoarse. "Carry me to the bathroom.""Okay."Ethan bent down and lifted her horizontally.As Isabella sat on the toilet, she cursed angrily, "What's wrong with you? How did Kathy manage to scheme against you? Don't you know, if I had been a step late, you would have lost your innocence?"Ethan's gaze turned cold, and his voice became dark. "It was Nathan who teamed up with Kathy."Isabella froze. She thought it was Nathan who saw Kathy and Ethan entering the room, but she didn't expect...Ethan said, "Rest for a
Sherry and Colin, both celebrities in the entertainment industry, had no scandals, and most comments about them were blessings. Isabella, who received the news, was dozing off in Ethan's office. Her phone kept buzzing, causing her to frown. Then she heard Ethan next to her, looking at his phone, saying, "Tricia and Colin are together."Isabella was startled and immediately got up. "Who?" she asked."Tricia," Ethan handed her the phone. Isabella took it, and the photo displayed was a still from the movie they had previously worked on together.Isabella exclaimed, "Tricia is amazing!"Ethan added, "Nathan must be furious now."Isabella walked off the sofa and dialed Sherry's number, but it was busy. It seemed that her grandparents were also trying to contact Sherry. After waiting for about ten minutes, Sherry called back."Isabella.""Tricia, what's going on? Are you two really together? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"Sherry hurriedly explained, "It's a fake, but I couldn't explain it
After finishing their meal, the two of them returned to Isabella's villa. She looked at Ethan sitting on the couch and spoke, "I'm going to see Tricia. My parents are very curious about her and Colin's situation, so I'll take her to visit my parents' house."Upon hearing this, Ethan squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Will you come back tonight?"Isabella fell silent. Naturally, she wouldn't be coming back.She smiled and touched Ethan's head, saying, "Behave yourself and stay at home with Pet." Pet jumped out of Ethan's embrace, and he crossed his arms, looking dissatisfied. "I'll go with you.""No, you're just a boyfriend! There's no place for you to sleep at my house." Isabella kissed him on the cheek and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."Ethan didn't say anything, watching her leave with wide-open eyes. Wasn't it time to turn her boyfriend into her husband?Sherry's villa was not far from Isabella's. After finding her, the two of them left together in a car and arrived at their hom
Upon hearing Isabella's question, the two of them on the other side paused for a moment. Betty thought carefully and said, "It seems like there is a son."Isabella continued to ask, "What's his name?""We... we don't know," Betty replied.Isabella frowned. "Then what about his wife? What's her last name? What's her name?"Caleb pondered for a moment. "It seems like her last name is Miller..."Was Karl's full name Karl Wilson? Was she overthinking? Just as she was in doubt, her mother spoke up, "Her name is Maisie Miller. Isabella, why are you asking about this? Do you happen to know their son?"Isabella shook her head. "No, I don't know him. Just asking."Caleb looked at the worried expressions on the faces of the young ones and comforted them, "Gordon Jones was just a doctor back then. Don't worry too much."In fact, Caleb's younger brother was a director at the time, and he had offended more powerful people than the Jones family. They didn't really care about Gordon Jones' threats t
Upon arriving at the set, with only three days left to finish the movie, Isabella saw Colin and pulled him into the rest area for a private conversation. "Do you know Tricia's true identity?" she asked.Colin was confused. "Tricia? Who is that? I don't know.""I am Isabella Turne, the young lady of the Turne family. Sherry is Tricia; she is the daughter lost by my uncle and aunt since childhood."After a conversation between the two, Colin confirmed repeatedly and finally learned the true identities of Isabella and Sherry. He was completely shocked and bewildered.Isabella said, "I told you her identity to remind you that we all love Tricia. We have always been making up for the love she missed over the years. No one should dare to bully her."After speaking, Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes welled up with tears. She blinked and comforted him, saying, "Although you don't have a prominent background, you are a famous director after all. Our family has high
At this moment, Nathan was in a room with no curtains drawn, creating a dim and heavy atmosphere filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol. On the screen, various photos flashed before Nathan's eyes, causing his expression to darken. In a fit of anger, he smashed his phone.After a while, he stood up and took out another phone to call Karl. For the past few days, Karl had been unreachable, but this time, the call was answered after a long wait.Angrily, Nathan questioned, "Karl, what the hell happened? How did Isabella find out so quickly that day?"Karl's voice sounded calm as he replied, "There were some unexpected circumstances."Nathan tightly gripped his phone, his voice filled with gloom. "What do we do next?""Wait for my message," Karl said before preparing to end the call. Then he added, "You better not make any reckless moves now. Ethan's people are watching you closely. Any slight misstep and no one can save you."The call was disconnected, and Nathan smashed another phone
Soon, three days passed after the completion of the second movie, and the promotional clips were released online, receiving praise for Eric and Isabella's acting skills. Isabella had truly become popular now.At night, Isabella and Ethan were cuddled up on the couch watching a TV show when Ethan's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw a message from his mother."My parents and uncle and aunt are going to England tomorrow. Do you want to go?"Before Isabella could respond, Ethan immediately frowned and said, "Forget it, let's not go."Isabella, munching on potato chips, found his sudden change in attitude strange. "Why?" she asked.Ethan replied, "You had a relationship with Eric before in England."Ethan continued, "Where do you want to go? Let's choose another place to visit."Isabella shook her head. "No, no, no, I don't want to go anywhere. We have a lot of commitments these days, no time."In the following days, Isabella indeed became very busy with shooting commercials and partici
Isabella hesitated for two days before suggesting a breakup. She knew that Karl would use various means to provoke her and Ethan. Similar incidents like Ryan's birthday would happen again, and there could be more serious consequences. She was afraid of what Karl might do to Ethan and wondered what Karl would do if she broke up with Ethan...As her words fell, the man seemed to think she was joking and said, "Stop kidding, what did I do to upset you? Just tell me."Isabella's gaze flickered slightly, her tone still calm. "I'm not joking, I'm telling you the truth."At that moment, Ethan realized that Isabella wasn't joking anymore. The deep gaze of the man gradually darkened. He stared at her, his eyes hiding turbulent emotions.From his gaze, Isabella sensed danger, disappointment, unhappiness, and other emotions. In that moment, she panicked.She opened her mouth to say something, but the coffee served by the waiter interrupted her words. After the waiter left, before Isabella could
