Oops, My Sugar Baby is Alpha 193
Isabella dutifully acted on set for a month, and then received a call from Olivia. She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, so she needed to attend the awards ceremony. Olivia had already communicated with the crew, and the director approved her three days off. Then Isabella and Olivia flew back to Ithaca town. The day before the awards ceremony, Isabella was quite busy, trying on dresses, getting styled, and preparing her acceptance speech in advance. She kept busy until late at night and didn't return to her apartment, opting to spend the night at the hotel. At that time, Andrew was not in Ithaca town but on a business trip in Spain. When she called him at night, she couldn't help but complain, "I finally came back, and you're not here." On the phone, his voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of apology. "I can't attend your awards ceremony tomorrow, but after this busy period, I'll take you out to relax." "It's just a nomination, and the other nominees are all

Elowen seemed clever and tactful, complimenting Isabella generously before heading to the kitchen to help. "Grandma, Dad, I'll go upstairs to change clothes first, then I'll come down to have dinner with you," Isabella said, signaling to Ava with her eyes before swiftly heading upstairs. As soon as she entered the room, Ava followed. Ava took out a set of loungewear from the closet and handed it to her. As Isabella changed clothes, she listened to Ava recounting the events of the past month at the Harris family's residence. It had indeed been quite interesting. "You hadn't been gone long before Idris and his family came to apologize. He's such a scoundrel, not a word of apology, just complaints about Miss Aria being immature. Mrs. Ada was furious and kicked them out. Mrs. Ada was already boiling with anger, and then she fell ill, spending over a week in the hospital. After she was discharged, she brought Elowen here under the pretext of needing someone to take care of her. Mrs.

Isabella stayed in the apartment for one night. The next morning, Asher saw his mother at home and happily danced around. However, she had to catch a flight in the afternoon and could only spend the morning with him. When she was about to leave, Asher grabbed her skirt, refusing to let her go, crying and calling her mom relentlessly. Isabella's eyes were red when she left. She even had the impulse to quit the entertainment industry altogether and become a full-time mother at home since Andrew could afford it. However, this impulsive thought was only temporary. She still had to finish filming the suspense drama she had started and couldn't quit the jobs she had already accepted. Living in this society meant following its rules. Professionalism was still necessary. She began working in Rochester town the next day. It happened to snow that day, but it didn't affect the filming progress. She had two scenes to shoot, one of which was quite challenging. The male lead, Emrys, had limited

So he had rushed here just to be her wish angel. Before Isabella started crying, she closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and firmly pressed her soft red lips against Andrew's. Around them, the snow fell silently. They stood under the snow-covered streetlamp, kissing. The orange light shone down from above, casting long shadows under their feet, where two silhouettes intimately overlapped. They kissed reluctantly but had to temporarily part ways. Andrew's plane was scheduled to take off an hour later, and with the snowy weather, he had to leave for the airport early. However, Isabella held onto his hand tightly, reluctant to let go. "I'll come visit you when I have time," he said. Although he said so, she knew he, as the CEO of the conglomerate, had little spare time. His visit to the film set would only reduce his sleep time, to finish work ahead of schedule. He already averaged six hours of sleep a day, any less, and she would worry. "In two months at most, I'll be back. Af

Emrys looked at her crying like a tearful person, sighed helplessly. He finally remembered why he had lost focus when he saw Isabella's eyes yesterday. It was because Isabella's eyes were as pure and clear as Chloe's."Alright. Haven't I always listened to you? You said we should break up, so I'll obediently break up with you," Emrys said."But now I regret it, let's get back together," Chloe snuggled into Emrys's arms, coquettishly."Okay," Emrys reached out and hugged her.Chloe wiped the tears from her face and then tried to lift the blanket covering him. As she lifted the blanket, she found his leg was encased in thick plaster."Is your leg injury serious?" she asked with concern, looking like she was about to cry again.Emrys immediately comforted her, "It's just a fracture. A few days of rest will be fine. Don't worry, once it heals, I'll still be able to carry you and back you up."After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and added, "And I'll still perform just as well in

Ava sighed, shaking her head, and said somewhat reluctantly, "Mr. David drank too much last night and somehow ended up sleeping in Elowen's room. Charlotte caught them this morning, and that's why they're quarreling."After listening, Isabella was shocked, her mouth gaping open for a moment before she finally spoke, "This is really big news. But just because they slept together doesn't necessarily mean they did anything, right?""If they didn't do anything, they wouldn't be quarreling like this," Ava said, her face reddening with embarrassment. She felt extremely awkward discussing this."David isn't exactly young anymore, yet he still has a wandering eye. He cheated on your mother in the past, which led to their divorce. I thought he was deeply in love with Charlotte, but now, this ugly incident happens again. Elowen is barely in her thirties, young enough to be his daughter, and yet he still made a move," Ava said disdainfully.After hearing this, Isabella couldn't help but scoff. F

David and Robert went upstairs together, while Isabella and Lily hurried back to their room and closed the door. "I was so scared, I almost got caught," Lily said, patting her chest. Isabella, however, remained calm and composed as she sat on the edge of the bed, furrowing her elegant eyebrows. "Mrs. Ada and Elowen clearly have the upper hand before Robert's appearance, Charlotte is likely to be overturned again." "Robert is just Charlotte's cousin; it's not appropriate for him to meddle in their family affairs," Ava said, handing Isabella a cup of warm water. She hadn't even had a chance to drink water since she returned. Isabella took the cup and drank about half of it, then curled her lips in a mocking smile. "Robert has been in charge of Moonlit Art Inc. for many years, and there have undoubtedly been financial and power transactions between him and David. He must have a lot of leverage in his hands, so Elowen probably won't stir up much trouble this time." As she finished sp

"Your popularity is soaring right now, so I've made a plan to report to the upper management of the company. I intend to arrange several solo concerts for you in New York. As long as the concerts go smoothly, it will mark your successful transition. Robert is your stepmother's man, and I thought there would be some resistance, but surprisingly, he readily approved it and instructed all departments of the company to fully cooperate. It seems like he's eager for your successful transition. I'm a bit puzzled by his enthusiasm. I even suspect he might be a mole of your stepmother," Olivia speculated. Isabella couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You're overthinking it." "Really?" Olivia said with a hint of confusion. "I just feel like he doesn't harbor any ill intentions toward you." "Robert is a person who's hard to understand," Isabella lightly pursed her lips, shrugging as she reminisced. "In the past, Charlotte raised me like a fool, creating an imaginary scenario of a loving family
