The setting sun dyed the sea a vibrant orange, and the surface of the ocean was sprinkled with shimmering silver. On the vast beach, bouquets of colorful roses were planted, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves, creating an incredibly romantic atmosphere. Olivia was being pulled by Isabella as she gazed at the scene before her, her eyes meeting Alexander's not far away. There was a smile on his face, and he no longer seemed carefree like before. Olivia was completely bewildered. She had thought it was just an ordinary outing to the beach, but the person she had been thinking about in the car moments ago had appeared here. Isabella nudged her and said, "Go over there quickly." Olivia snapped back to her senses and slowly walked towards Alexander. Initially, Alexander wasn't nervous, but now, in front of so many people... As Olivia approached, dressed in a red dress, he tried hard to remain composed. He handed her the beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers. Olivia accepted t
Watching the two cars drive away one after another, Isabella couldn't help but laugh in frustration. Her car left without even waiting for her? Perfect. Ryan, you truly are Ethan's good brother. In the end, Isabella naturally got into the passenger seat of the supercar.While Olivia would settle the score on her end, Isabella also had her own accounts to settle. Right after Ethan started the car, she spoke in a cold voice, "Ethan, tell me, are you out of your mind?""Last time with Elroy, you questioned me without understanding the situation, and now this time, you come to confront me without even knowing who Alexander wanted to confess to?!" Ethan pursed his lips. "It's because of you that I misunderstood."Ethan couldn't comprehend it. It was obvious from Alexander's confession that he had liked Olivia for a long time. The claim about pursuing Isabella during the kidnapping must have been false. So why did Alexander and Isabella deceive him?Isabella took a deep breath, looking rese
There were mixed feelings that night, and the happiest person was undoubtedly Alexander. However, as soon as he got in the car, before he could even enjoy the moment, Olivia started interrogating him frantically, "Is Isabella your sister? Alexander, were you playing a prank on me?""When I told you that Ethan and Isabella were dating, you said you were heartbroken! I bet you were secretly celebrating with champagne!"And just like that, his newly acquired girlfriend was giving him the silent treatment. After dropping Olivia off at home, he returned to his house with a mix of sadness and joy. As soon as he parked the car, he saw Isabella getting out of a taxi.Alexander squinted his eyes slightly, "Why did you take a taxi back by yourself?"Isabella glanced at him and responded coldly, "Some people abandon their sisters as soon as they get a girlfriend. How else was I supposed to get back?""What about Ethan? What's going on between you two? And why did their group go to the beach toda
Isabella never believed that Ethan was interested in Pet from the beginning. So why did he take Pet away? Was he deliberately opposing her? She didn't understand, couldn't understand. Naturally, there was no room for discussion, so Isabella decided to sneak away and steal the cat.Ethan's pursuit of Isabella was delayed due to his parents returning home. He didn't have time to go find Isabella, but it didn't stop him from having someone keep an eye on the set and snatch Isabella's cat at the first opportunity.At this moment, Ethan was at his grandfather's house. Today was his grandfather's 65th birthday. His grandfather preferred low-key celebrations and didn't hold any grand parties. He only invited a few relatives and friends to have dinner at home, including the Thomas family, Mitchell family, and Reynolds family.Kathy naturally attended as well. Ethan's mother pulled her aside to the studio. While walking, Ethan's mother smiled and asked her, "Kathy, does Ethan have a girlfriend
Betty only sang two songs, but even after three years without performing live, she remained stable. The atmosphere in the venue was ignited, with fans loudly shouting her name.Charles in the audience was also excited. Isabella gave him VIP tickets in the front row, but Sandra didn't come. He came alone and looked at the unfamiliar woman sitting beside him. He asked discontentedly, "Why aren't you excited at all?"On stage, there was Betty, accompanied by the famous Charles! How could she be so calm?Sophia glanced at him indifferently. If it weren't for Isabella, she would have left already.She said, "I'm Liam's fan."Charles immediately lost his smile. Liam was his counterpart in the entertainment industry.Sophia wanted to laugh as well. My good friend's good friend is my idol's counterpart! She had already tried to get some dirt on Charles from Isabella more than once...After Betty greeted the audience again and delivered some words of blessing to the young performers, she stepp
Upon hearing Isabella's words, a hint of helplessness appeared on Sherry's gentle face. "Isabella, I'm different from you." Although she didn't know Isabella's identity, she could tell that this woman was extraordinary. "I love my career and I don't want to disappoint my fans."As long as she stayed in this city, she couldn't escape Nathan's grasp. Sherry lowered her gaze and continued, "And I can't let go of my mother in the hospital."Isabella was taken aback. "What happened to your mother?"Sherry sighed. "Three years ago, she had a car accident and hasn't woken up since then. Nathan arranged the best medical team for my mother."Isabella finally understood what was holding Sherry back. Without hesitation, she said, "Sherry! I can find a better medical team for your aunt! Help her transfer to another hospital without Nathan finding out! Besides, there are so many talent agencies! You're already famous now, you don't have to stay with Nathan forever! Let's leave the company together
A scorching breath hit Isabella unexpectedly, and their lips intertwined as the man's mouth carried a strong smell of alcohol. Isabella snapped back to her senses and quickly pushed him away."Let go of me!" she exclaimed.But Ethan didn't release his grip. Instead, he held onto her tightly and laid her down on the bed, clasping her in his arms. His voice was cold as he said, "Let's have a good talk.""No..." Isabella struggled, but after a couple of seconds, she gave up and stared straight into his eyes. "Tell me the truth, have you fallen in love with me?"Ethan paused for a moment and then denied it, "No."He knew very well that even if he admitted his feelings for Isabella now, she wouldn't agree to be with him. All he wanted at the moment was for Isabella to stay by his side, and everything else could be sorted out later. "No, it's not that," Isabella squinted her eyes slightly. "Then, are you just lusting after my body?"Ethan didn't say anything. Isabella assumed that was the c
Sherry reminisced about her first encounter with Nathan. At the age of eighteen, her gambling father had accumulated a huge debt, forcing Sherry to drop out of school and be sold to the creditors. On that rainy night, she met Nathan, a young man who reached out his hand and said, "Will you come with me?"Sherry agreed. They signed a two-year contract in which he paid off all her family's debts and showered her with affection, pulling her out of the abyss like a god.As they spent time together, Sherry discovered that this man was paranoid and frightening. She had never truly liked Nathan. Signing the contract was merely for the money.Three years ago, when the contract ended, Sherry chose to leave everything behind and go abroad to participate in a talent show. Upon returning to her home country, she joined a company and learned that the CEO was him... she once again fell into the hands of this man.The memories concluded, and Sherry looked at the man in front of her. "Nathan, let me
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
