After finishing her makeup and changing into a formal dress, Isabella and several models started rehearsing for the fashion show. In the blink of an eye, it was already dark outside. At that moment, Ethan had just left the company and was on his way to a business meeting.Sitting in the backseat, Ethan was still dressed in a black suit, his handsome face covered with a faint layer of frost, emanating a cold aura. His gaze was fixed on his phone, which displayed a message from the director that was sent in the afternoon."Mr. Adams, I have called all the actors to assemble.""Isabella... It seems like something is going on with Isabella. She said she wouldn't come even if I held a knife to her neck."Impatiently, Ethan closed his phone, feeling a surge of anger inside him. Terry, who was driving the car, could vaguely sense that the CEO was in a bad mood, so he became extra cautious and drove carefully.Upon arriving at the restaurant for the social engagement, Ethan got out of the car
After leaving the fashion show, Ethan didn't go to find Isabella. Instead, he was called by Nathan and Ryan to a entertainment club. Both of them could tell that Ethan was in a bad mood. Though his face was always cold, today it seemed different."What's wrong? Is something wrong with the company?" Nathan asked.Ryan, who had called all the women out of the private room and sat across from them, had a mischievous smile on his face. "When have you ever seen his company in trouble? It's obviously love trouble!"Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly, emanating a dangerous aura.Ryan wasn't afraid and continued probing, "Is it because of Isabella?"Ethan fell silent. Ryan and Nathan exchanged a glance, and they had their answer. They were clearly surprised. "Tell us, let us share your worries!"Ethan glanced at Ryan, who was full of gossip, and although he seemed reluctant to mention Isabella in front of him, he thought about it and slowly began, "Alexander used to pursue Isabella. When she wa
Isabella unexpectedly fell into his arms, still hearing his words echoing in her ears, "I went to see you." Initially, it was just an ordinary statement, but it made her heart race and her expression appear calm. "See me? Do you need to be with Kathy to see me?" "I didn't receive an invitation." That explanation left Isabella speechless, but she still felt a bit displeased. Ethan played with her hair, his tone casual. "Although I've known Kathy for years, I don't like her, and I won't marry her." "Really?" Isabella's tone held a hint of doubt. Ethan nodded. Seeing his response, Isabella's mood improved significantly. She hugged Ethan's neck and spoke dominantly, "Fine, from now on, you're not allowed to pay attention to her." Ethan's lips curled up slightly. Ah, she was jealous. "What about Alexander?" Ethan asked. "I won't pay attention to him either!" Isabella blurted out without much thought. Only then did Ethan seem satisfied. Seeing Isabella yawn, he lifted her up and sa
Isabella looked at the words on her phone screen, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Beside her, Ava became anxious, her temper flaring up again. "Can't you use your brain before you speak? She was just giving you some guidance. Can't you bear with it? There are cameras in the audition room. Mocking a senior in public, you...!""That wasn't guidance. She deliberately tried to undermine me. She said things that weren't shown in the video. You have no idea how offensive they were," Isabella put away her phone, a smile of satisfaction on her face. "Besides, ten years ago, she relied on her brother who worked at the television station and bribed the judges behind the awards. She won an award with a terrible TV series. What else can you call her if not an actress without any talent?"Ava furrowed her brows, her expression paused. "How do you know all this?"These were things she didn't know."My mom told me," Isabella replied."How does your mom know?" Ava was puzzled. Wasn'
Adams Group. Terry knocked on the door and entered the office."Boss, I've taken care of everything you asked for," Terry said.Ethan looked at his computer and nodded. "By the way, Boss, Isabella..."At Ethan's words, his gaze on the computer screen paused, and then he looked at Terry. "What happened to her?"Terry quickly informed Ethan about what had happened online.Ethan opened Twitter, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "Go and contact the director... "After listening to Ethan's instructions, Terry nodded. "Okay.""Report to me immediately if there's any news about her.""I understand, Boss," Terry replied calmly, but inside, he was extremely shocked.Isabella thought the matter had blown over. She had been focused on filming all morning and didn't intend to pay any attention to those who called her a vase. She believed that everything would be proven once the movie was released.At noon, while she was having lunch, Lisa came over."Look! Our director did an excellen
While Isabella enjoyed a comfortable life, Kathy and Gracie weren't feeling as happy. Kathy, enraged by the news she read online, smashed her phone in anger."Auntie, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Isabella to record our conversation. That despicable woman," Kathy exclaimed.Recalling their conversation from that day, Isabella pretended not to hear and asked Kathy to repeat herself. It turned out that everything had been planned in advance. Gracie bent down to pick up the broken phone, looking disapprovingly at Kathy."You need to change your temper," Gracie said with dissatisfaction."Auntie," Kathy pouted and snorted, "Someone must be helping Isabella behind the scenes. Auntie, do you think it could be Ethan? What exactly is their relationship now?" Kathy's anxiety grew as she thought about it.Gracie crossed her arms and remained calm. "Whoever it is, what does it matter? So what if Ethan and Isabella have something going on? Take Eric, for example. Eric likes Isabella, but would Mrs.
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the room of the villa.Isabella was about to place the perfume on the vanity when she walked into the walk-in closet and was startled. The original walk-in closet was neither big nor small, only hanging Ethan's clothes. But now, it was unexpectedly connected to the adjacent bedroom. The layout of the walk-in closet had completely changed, becoming spacious and exquisite. The elegant cabinets were filled with women's clothes, handbags, and jewelry. The dressing table was fully equipped with skincare and cosmetics.Isabella's delicate face showed a hint of confusion. It had only been two days, how did it change like this?Just as she turned around, she bumped into Ethan's chest. Isabella looked up, puzzled, and asked, "What's this?"Ethan casually glanced at the walk-in closet and was satisfied. "We agreed that you would move in."Agreed? When did we agree on that? She placed the perfume on the table, crossed her arms, and stared at Ethan. "Wha
The first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the window and illuminated the room. On the large bed, Isabella's alarm clock rang for the third time. She frowned and let out a dissatisfied hum with a sleepy voice. Ethan emerged from the bathroom and turned off her phone alarm.Isabella closed her eyes and reluctantly climbed out of bed, not knowing how long she had been lying there before she slowly opened her eyes.Ethan stood by the bed, observing her with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Is anything bothering you?"Isabella glanced at him, meeting his amused gaze. She knew exactly what he meant. The two of them had stayed up until past three o'clock last night."No," Isabella replied grumpily.Then she realized her voice was hoarse... Ethan laughed again.Isabella glared at him, pulled back the covers, and got out of bed. But as soon as she stood up, her legs went weak, and she almost stumbled to the ground."Damn it!"Ethan suppressed his amusement, pick
