The next day, Isabella arrived at the set as usual. Around noon, while Isabella was having lunch, a staff member approached her. "Miss Turne, there's someone looking for you outside." Isabella casually responded while elegantly eating her meal, "Tell them to wait until I finish eating." The staff member frowned. "Shouldn't you ask who it is?" Lisa, who was sitting nearby, asked curiously, "Who is it?" "It's Mrs. Scott, Eric's mother." With a refined and luxurious appearance, Mrs. Scott stood beside a Lamborghini outside the studio. When she saw Isabella's figure, she immediately expressed her displeasure, "Are you Isabella? Under the scorching sun, you made me wait for so long. Do you have no manners?" Isabella sensed the hostility in her tone and her own expression turned cold. "Who asked you to come during mealtime?" Mrs. Scott's face immediately turned unpleasant. "Your parents are supposed to be teachers, yet they raised such an ill-mannered child! It's bad enough to make e
Little did Isabella know that she was being set up for no reason.In the afternoon, just as they were about to start shooting, a message popped up in the family group chat. It was a screenshot of a flight ticket booking sent by her mother. Her mother was returning the day after tomorrow!Isabella was overjoyed! After finishing her makeup, she happily walked out of the dressing room. At that moment, Sandra came out of the restroom and sarcastically remarked, "Ethan isn't here to see you. Look how ecstatic you are."Hearing Sandra's words, Isabella paused for a moment but ignored her. Ethan was here? They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Isabella hadn't contacted him either since she was on her period.At the shooting location outside, as expected, Ethan was standing not far away, talking to the director and a group of producers. He was still dressed in his black suit, and his profile was clear and captivating. Isabella licked her lips and couldn't help but admit that she could n
When Isabella regained consciousness, she found herself in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Her hands and feet were tightly bound to a chair, rendering her completely powerless. At this moment, she felt a bit disoriented. This was Isabella's first time being kidnapped, and while she appeared calm, her gaze grew serious as she carefully recalled the events leading up to this situation.Who could be behind her abduction? Nobody outside knew Isabella's true identity, and it was unlikely to be the enemies of the Turner family. Sandra? No, she still feared Isabella. That left only one possibility: Brian.Sure enough, the next moment, the iron door of the warehouse swung open. A man wearing a black coat, a duckbill cap, and a mask entered. Despite being disguised, Isabella recognized him—it was Brian.Their eyes met, and Isabella smiled. "I advise you to release me quickly. I can forgive today's events and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you'll never have a good life ag
Everyone present, except Isabella, was astonished. Alexander exclaimed, "Why is Ethan here? Could it be true? Is he really pursuing Isabella?" Ethan asked, "Alexander, what are you doing here?" The most surprised person was Brian. She had always believed that Isabella was backed by the Scott family, but now it turned out that the person who came was not related to Eric but belonged to even more powerful families. Brian didn't have time to think too much and immediately held the knife to Isabella's neck in panic, threatening, "Don't come any closer!" Isabella's face darkened slightly. Many people appeared in the live broadcast, but Ethan and Alexander had their backs to the camera, and everyone was curious about who came to save Isabella. Now that Isabella had been found, Alexander quickly instructed someone to shut down the live broadcast while wearing his earphones. The two men looked at Isabella with dark, intimidating gazes. Alexander spoke in a cold voice, "Release Isabella.
A silence fell over the atmosphere inside the car. Isabella thought Ethan had stopped thinking about it and was about to take out her phone to check her messages when she heard Ethan's soft voice again. "A few days ago, I was on a business trip for a bidding project. Because of you, I couldn't go, and the project was won by the Turner Group." Ethan was always suspicious by nature, and now he doubted whether Isabella was a spy sent by the enemy. Isabella felt a slight shock in her heart and looked at Ethan with confusion. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Do you suspect that I intentionally prevented you from going? Although I know Alexander, how could I possibly know the CEO of the Turner Group? Besides, it was because of you that I got pregnant!" "Furthermore, why blame me? Their strength is comparable to yours, and even if you had gone, you might not have gotten the project." Isabella tried to defend herself, and in the end, she couldn't resist boasting about her own brother. "I
After getting out of Amelia's car, Isabella left with her two brothers. As soon as she got in the car, Alexander, who had been curious all night, asked, "What's the deal between you and Ethan? Is he really pursuing you?""Yes," Isabella replied.After a night of turmoil, Isabella was feeling a bit exhausted as she leaned back in her seat.Alexander clearly didn't believe her. "Tell me the truth. I don't believe that Ethan guy would be interested in you. Does he have something on you?"Isabella raised an eyebrow, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Alexander. "Are you out of your mind? I'm intelligent, beautiful, and talented. Why wouldn't he be interested in me?"Alexander gave her a meaningful look. In his opinion, she was only superficially beautiful.On the other hand, Benjamin, who was driving, chuckled and asked slowly, "Isabella, what do you think of Ethan? Are you really starting to like him?"Like. It had been a long time since Isabella had that word in
The day's filming quickly came to an end. It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and Isabella pulled Charles along with her. They arrived at the parking lot, and Charles looked puzzled."Why did you suddenly want to have dinner with me?" Charles asked.Isabella raised an eyebrow and said, "I have a surprise for you!""A surprise?" Charles furrowed his brow. Oh my god, could it be that after spending time together recently, Isabella has developed feelings for him and wants to confess? No way, no way!"Isabella, wait a minute... I only see you as a good friend! Please don't get the wrong idea." Charles stuttered, fearing the worst."What do you mean by that?" Isabella looked confused.The two of them had already reached the parking lot, and Isabella found her mother's Mercedes. She immediately pulled Charles into the car. In the driver's seat, Isabella's mother was looking down at her phone. Isabella smiled, relieved that her dad wasn't there.Charles got into the car and noticed the person i
Isabella, with a displeased expression, went to the bathroom to freshen up. Half an hour later, when she walked out humming a tune in her bath towel, she immediately stopped singing upon seeing the man sitting on the couch. At this moment, Ethan's thoughts were: "Hmm, I've never heard someone sing so badly before." Isabella remained calm and walked over nonchalantly. "When did you come back?" "Just now," Ethan replied flatly. As Isabella approached, she noticed that he was holding a box. It was the cufflinks she had just bought at the mall. Isabella smiled and said, "It's a gift for you. Do you like it?" As soon as she finished speaking, Ethan threw the box aside and said, "I don't like it. Take it with you tomorrow." A hint of danger flickered in her eyes. "Ethan, don't be ungrateful. I bought you a gift out of kindness. If you don't like it, it's fine, but at least say something polite." Ethan met her displeased gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the money to b
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
