Amelia was sitting beside, feeding Asher, and she smiled, "Isabella was up late last night practicing how to cook this braised pork ribs. She made it six or seven times, and this plate is the most successful. Because it sat in the fridge for most of the night and was reheated in the microwave, the taste is a little off."After Amelia finished, she added, "Isabella is starting to look more and more like a wife now.""Oh, fine." Andrew chuckled softly, lightly squeezing Isabella's hand.Isabella blushed slightly, shyly looking down. She picked up her fork and placed some vegetables into Andrew's bowl, saying, "Andrew, eat quickly, or it'll get cold."They had a joyful meal together.After dinner, Andrew was showering in the bathroom, and Isabella waited outside, occasionally asking, "Andrew, are you done showering?" After all, he had just been discharged from the hospital, and she was a bit anxious about him showering alone.The response to her question was a loud splash as the door ope
Downstairs from the apartment, a black Mercedes business vehicle had been waiting there for some time.After getting in the car, Andrew noticed Ryan in the front passenger seat."Hi, Boss, good morning," Ryan turned around and said with a mischievous smile.Andrew glanced at him coldly and instructed the driver to start driving.The car slowly left the residential area and entered a smooth main road.Ryan leaned over, grinning as he said to Andrew, "Boss, I came to pick you up on the way, don't be too moved.""Ryan, the route from your home to my home is not the same," Andrew replied indifferently.Ryan touched his nose, still smiling mischievously, not the least bit embarrassed at being exposed."The project for the old town planning is quite large, and there aren't many companies in Ithaca Town capable of taking it on. There are only a dozen companies at today's bidding site, among which three have decent proposals. However, those with secure jobs aren't very hardworking. The rest a
"To the lady sitting in the front row, do you have poor eyesight and can't see the no smoking sign on the wall, or do you think the Turner family conglomerate is your backyard where you can do whatever you please and ignore the rules?" Ryan's words were sharp, giving Scarlett no leniency. He had disliked her for a long time.Instantly, all eyes around them fell on Scarlett. Her face flushed red and then pale, and her hand holding the cigarette stiffened. She instinctively looked up at Andrew, who was talking to the project leader beside him, his expression serious and focused. He seemed completely unaware of what was happening on their side.But Scarlett knew Andrew, with his special forces background, could perceive everything around him. It was impossible for him not to know that Ryan was deliberately making things difficult for her. He just didn't want to intervene.Andrew really hadn't changed at all: cold and decisive. After breaking up, they were complete strangers."Miss, are y
Ryan's sharp tongue showed no mercy. Scarlett's face turned a few shades darker with anger. Knowing her place, she stood up from the sofa. "Since you have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave."Andrew nodded slightly, not rising from his seat, but instructed his secretary to see her out.After Scarlett left, Ryan took her previous seat, casually crossing his legs and scoffing, "Why do you even bother with her? After all those disgraceful things she did, even her own father was so ashamed that he kicked her out of the house."Andrew's eyes returned to the computer screen, unwilling to continue the topic of Scarlett."Ryan, make sure to compile the bidding materials quickly. This project officially starts next month, and time is tight," Andrew instructed."Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ryan replied."Let's hope so," Andrew responded evenly. He closed his laptop, picked up his coat, and headed out of the office."Boss, where are you going?" Ryan asked, puzzled."I have n
Three of them sat together eating, Isabella picking up food with her fork and casually saying, "Tomorrow I have to start working again, GR's new product endorsement event. As the spokesperson, I must attend.""Well, at least you don't have to travel. That's good," Andrew replied with a smile.Before they could finish their meal, Andrew's phone rang.With one hand holding his fork, he picked up the phone with the other. His handsome face remained expressionless, but after hanging up, his expression became more serious. "The investigation into Torin's death is clear."Torin was accidentally killed by a thief who was in the same cell with him. The weapon was a spoon. They had a dispute while eating, and during the fight, the thief used the handle of an iron spoon to stab Torin in the neck.However, the handle of an iron spoon is so blunt, how could it accidentally kill someone? It was clearly a deliberate murder.The perpetrator had long been controlled but adamantly denied it was intent
At night, Isabella and Andrew had just finished an intense sex. They lay naked under the covers, chatting. Just as they were kissing passionately, the phone vibrated, interrupting them.Andrew, slightly annoyed, answered the call. Whatever the other person said made him glance at Isabella subconsciously."Andrew, what happened?" Isabella asked after he hung up."Victoria was injured and admitted to the hospital," Andrew replied."Is it easy to get injured in custody?" Isabella asked, puzzled."She was courting death; no one could stop her," Andrew said coldly. "Victoria requested to see Charlotte multiple times but was denied. She must have resorted to self-harm as a last-ditch effort. Once admitted to the hospital, she can see family according to regulations.""Victoria is still hoping David will get her out," Isabella said with a cold laugh. "She wants to see family, right? I'm also her family. Tomorrow, I'll go see her at the hospital."The next day, Isabella got up unusually early
“If Andrew would divorce me because the Harris family falls from grace, it would only prove he's not worth trusting. Victoria, do you understand what love is? I love Andrew, and I believe he loves me too.”"Love?" Victoria sneered disdainfully. "Isabella, you're truly ridiculous.""It's not me who's ridiculous, it's you, Victoria. Your whole life has been like a joke." Isabella slowly stood up, her eyes narrowing as she looked down at her."In fact, I've considered many ways to end you, but upon reflection, the best method is to bring you to justice. Victoria, you must live well in prison, reflect on what you've done and the lives you've ruined. I'll make time to visit you."After saying this, Isabella arrogantly turned and walked away, her high heels clicking with each step as she left the hospital room.Behind her, Victoria suddenly erupted into hysterical screams and roars, "I don't want to go to prison! Let me go, let me go!"Hearing the commotion, two guards outside rushed in and
Meanwhile, inside the CEO's office, Isabella was sitting in the boss's chair behind the large desk, sipping freshly brewed coffee and playing games on Andrew's computer. Andrew's computer was top-notch, and there wasn't a hint of lag while gaming.Isabella was thoroughly enjoying herself, unaware of how much time had passed until the office door opened from the outside and Andrew walked in with a file in hand. Seeing Isabella in his chair softened his otherwise stern expression."You're done with the meeting," Isabella remarked upon seeing him. She closed the game and rested her arm on the desk, propping her chin up to look at him. "Andrew, your computer is great for gaming."Andrew shook his head with a smile, feeling a bit helpless. The information on his computer was valuable enough to buy half of Ithaca town, yet only Isabella dared to use it for gaming."If you like it, I'll have Nathan buy one just like it for you.""Great!" Isabella nodded with a smile, standing up and sidling
