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
Two days had passed, and Nathan and Ethan were becoming frantic. They couldn't locate Sherry through her phone's GPS, and there were no records of their tickets or hotel reservations. Over the years, Nathan had been the only one by Sherry's side. Ethan had contacted everyone he could, including Charles, Sophia, Ava, and anyone who knew Isabella, but no one knew where Isabella was. They even sneaked into Isabella's villa, but she wasn't there.The two of them sat on the couch, exchanging bitter glances. They both knew that Sherry was with Isabella.Ethan was angry. If Nathan hadn't deceived Sherry, his wife wouldn't have disappeared with her.Nathan was also furious. If Isabella hadn't exposed the truth, Sherry would never have...After five minutes, Ethan grabbed his coat and stood up. Nathan quickly followed, anxiously asking, "Where are we going?""To find someone.""Where are we going to look?"The two of them arrived at the front desk of N.S. The staff smiled and said, "Please wai
The two people outside the door were also dumbfounded. Betty frowned, wondering why this guy was at their door again. Mr. Turne looked displeased, thinking to himself, "How did this guy end up at my father-in-law's house?"Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly and greeted them in a cold and composed voice, "Mr. Turne, Mrs. Turne."All three of them felt suspicious, wondering why they were all here. Betty was the first to react. She glanced at the apartment number and said, "Oh, this is the 26th floor. Sorry, it seems like we got the wrong floor."Before her husband could say anything, Betty pulled him away. Just as they turned around, the elevator dinged, and Grandpa casually walked out of it."Why are you two standing outside? Don't you have the keys?" Grandpa asked, a hint of impatience in his voice.Caleb Turne politely replied, "Dad, are you going to play chess again?""Yes," Grandpa replied absentmindedly, then he looked at Ethan standing at the door and raised an eyebrow. "And who ar
All of Ethan's thoughts were confirmed as he returned to the villa. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his father and mother sitting on the couch.Ethan glanced at them and asked in a low voice, "How did you come here?""Ethan! I thought you didn't like pets like cats and dogs that shed fur? This cat is really cute, what's its name?" His mother held Pet in her arms, her eyes filled with joy.Without responding, Ethan intended to go back quietly upon seeing his parents here, but he said, "I have something to do, I'll leave first.""Hold on!" His mother stood up, put down Pet, and said, "I had someone investigate Isabella."Ethan's spine stiffened, and he furrowed his brows, turning around. "Mom, why are you investigating her?""Isn't she the person you like?" His mother looked at Ethan's subtle change in expression and calmly said, "Don't try to deny it. How about you tell me then, whose clothes, bags, and jewelry are upstairs?"Ethan pursed his lips and remained silent.His father
