After a crazy night, Isabella saw red marks all over her body. With a resentful look, she turned her head and glared at the culprit next to her, who was still fast asleep.In fact, Joseph had been very careful. However, her skin was too fair and delicate. Even a little force would leave obvious marks.Isabella didn't care about that. She only blamed him for not knowing to be gentle. Even though he was eager to save her, he couldn't...However, her gaze was unconsciously attracted by his hot figure: well-proportioned and attractive eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and narrow waist.In charge of the entire Parker Group, he was always busy with work and surprisingly managed to maintain such a great physique. He was much better than those middle-aged male celebrities who easily gained weight.If he had entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely have become a top star or something.Suddenly, Joseph said with tenderness, "Do you like it?" It instantly brought her back to the me
A loud sound let out.Isabella angrily threw a stack of printed photos onto the coffee table."You...!"Just as Jasmine flared up, she caught a glimpse of a figure at the entrance of the villa in the photo.Jasmine suddenly felt a little guilty and said, "Just a shadow. What can it prove?""Oh, really? Well, what do you think Bruno's reaction would be if I gave this to him?""Bruno would never believe your words, you bitch!""It seems like you don't know Bruno yet. He is not only suspicious but also detests anyone who betrays him!"Jasmine instantly lost her confidence.Once their position in a romantic relationship was threatened, even the most foolish woman would weigh the pros and cons.She finally slept with Bruno, and she couldn't afford to give up before marrying into Sandall family.After a moment, she reluctantly gestured to the bodyguard beside her to bring Ruth over.Isabella's eyes turned red, and she almost stumbled forward, pushing away the bodyguard's hand. She grabbed R
On the way back to Green Bay with Ruth, Isabella received a message from Richard.The hospital interview for next Tuesday was suddenly rescheduled to this afternoon, and even Richard was not quite sure about the specific reason.Isabella didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she quickly settled Ruth and gave a brief instruction to Eason and Jenna. Then, she hurriedly changed into a professional outfit and left.When Isabella arrived at the hospital, she saw a crowd of people gathered on the other side of the road. It seemed someone had fainted.Isabella was running a bit late. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and ran across the road.She pushed through the crowd and made her way to the front. An old man in a black shirt was lying on the ground in the middle. His hair was gray, and he appeared to be around sixty or seventy years old.The old man had a pale complexion, his eyes tightly closed, and there were slight traces of vomiti
Joseph froze, his brow furrowing slightly. "Grandfather! You..."William's expression remained serious."What? Did I say something wrong? You and Kathy have known each other since childhood, and you both understand each other's personalities. Not to mention, she even saved your life..." His face grew even darker as he continued, "You're not rejecting her because of Kathy's leg disability, are you?""Of course not."William asked again, "Then what?"Joseph spoke slowly, "She saved me, and I am grateful, but gratitude and affection are not the same thing. I only take her as my sister. Whether it is to repay her or out of sympathy, it is unfair to both of us.""Don't tell me all this nonsense. I just want to ask you, will you marry her or not?" William's tone was icy.Joseph's thin lips tightened, yet his stance remained unwavering."I'm sorry, but I can't comply."Having said that, he stood there with his hands hanging down, waiting for a more violent storm to come."Hahaha, good, good!
Isabella turned around and smiled slyly, "Mr. Arnot, what a coincidence!"Seeing him coming out from the direction of the ward building, she casually asked, "Are you here to visit the patient?""Um, yes..."The question was simple, but the answer was a bit hesitant.But Isabella, at this moment, was too preoccupied with the interview to pay attention to it and the fleeting panic on his face.Oliver didn't expect to run into Isabella at the door. Caught off guard by her question, he was momentarily flustered and suddenly didn't know what to say.After a moment of silence, Isabella said, "Thank you so much for last time."Oliver just came to his senses and smiled lightly, "So, would you treat me to a meal?""Huh?"Oliver raised his hand, and Isabella followed his pointing finger to catch a glimpse of the afterglow. It was almost dinner time.Just after Isabella said "Okay", Joseph's message immediately came through: "Where are you?"Isabella obediently answered: "Sacred Heart Hospital."
Isabella hurriedly explained, "I saw him at the Parker's old residence last time."Nathan couldn't help but glance at her, surprised that she didn't mention the scene in the hospital corridor.Back in the car, Isabella looked through the window at the two people standing face to face at the entrance. She couldn't help but admit that the scene of the two men together was very pleasing to the eye. One was handsome and charming, while the other was elegant and refined, attracting the attention of passing female patients and nurses."I heard that William came?""Yes. Kathy's legs have healed, and my mom asked me to pick her up and bring her back for the evening family banquet.""What about Ms. Watson?""She will be there too.""It's going to be fun."Nathan had a look of anticipation, as if he was about to watch a show."You guys just..." Joseph trailed off.He talked to Nathan, but his gaze remained fixed on Isabella in the car.Nathan pushed him and adjusted his glasses, then chuckled a
Katrina saw her trick work and immediately let go of Luke, proudly grabbing her mother's arm and following inside.Luke, with a calm expression on his face, walked up to Isabella and whispered, "Mrs. Parker..."Isabella shook her head gently and said, "It's okay. Let's go in too."The Parker's place, unlike Green Bay, had a completely different layout. It resembled the courtyards of ancient wealthy households. The antique pavilions and towers were clean and elegant.Joseph carried Katherine across the front porch and arrived at the back parlor.In the hall, William was sitting in the main seat. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyes and looked. He first noticed Isabella, who was standing at the back of the crowd.He hurriedly stood up and strode toward Isabella. With a smile on his face, he said, "Ha, little girl, we meet again? Do you remember me?"Isabella was initially taken aback, but then recognized the old man from the afternoon and said with some surprise, "Is it you
"Ah, yes...""Well, here's the thing. Joe and Kathy's wedding is on the 8th of next month. If you're willing, you can come to the wedding... Oh, I just remembered, Kathy still needs a bridesmaid. Ms. Watson is still single, right? That works out perfectly..." Charlotte said."Mom!" Joseph had already frowned.They had long known about Isabella and his engagement. His mother said it on purpose.Katrina chimed in, "Humph, a pumpkin from a small family dares to dream of marrying my brother, without even considering her own status!"She tried every possible way to get close to Joe, and now she knows Grandpa too. Who knows what hidden agenda she might have!" Katrina's words became increasingly offensive."Katrina!"Seeing her brother's increasingly unpleasant expression, Katrina immediately shut up and pretended to eat.Under the table, Isabella's anxious hand tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, William slammed his fork onto the table and exclaimed angr
