Meanwhile, in another ward on a different floor, Ethan poured a glass of water for his grandfather, who sat in front of the hospital bed, looking at him with a worried expression."I don't know how much longer my body can hold up, Ethan! My biggest regret now is not being able to see you get married and have children."Upon hearing this, Ethan helplessly pursed his lips and chuckled. "Grandpa, you just had a diabetic episode because you sneaked some sweets last night. It's not a terminal illness."Grandpa angrily placed the water glass on the table, causing it to clatter. "You ungrateful grandson! Do you have to wait until I can't speak in this hospital bed before you rush to find a girlfriend?""Grandpa, that's not what I meant.""Then explain it to me. When are you going to find a girlfriend and introduce her to me?"Ethan replied, "Right away.""Get out! Get out!" Furious, Grandpa knew Ethan was just humoring him. "I can't stand to see you!"Ethan complied with Grandpa's wishes. "T
After arriving at the company, just like before, Isabella, who had no appointment, was stopped by the receptionist. Isabella frowned and dialed Ethan's number, but no one answered. She looked at the vigilant security guards nearby.This time, Isabella didn't make a scene and obediently sat down on the sofa in the lobby. She waited for a whole hour. Usually, it was others who waited for her, but this time, Ethan made her wait. Isabella guessed that Ethan had already left.Just when she was about to give up, the elevator door opened not far away, and a man in a black suit with a cold aura walked out. Isabella's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stood up and quickened her pace. However, she was stopped by the security guards before she could approach.Isabella frowned and looked at the security guard. "Step aside. I know your boss." The security guard looked skeptical. Ethan had already walked over."Boss," the security guard respectfully greeted and then looked at Isabella. "This woman has
Seeing that trying to establish a connection was futile, Isabella changed her strategy."Ethan, that actress is not as beautiful as me and her acting skills are inferior," Isabella stated.Ethan didn't deny it, but he added, "But she has more fame than you.""How vulgar! I'll have fame in no time," Isabella retorted confidently.Ethan looked up and began to mock her, "By getting into fights? Flirting with other male celebrities?"Flirting with male celebrities? Isabella furrowed her brows, "I'm talking to you seriously! Ethan, my performance in this film is definitely better than that actress. You invested so much money, so you must want this movie to be a huge success, right?""Yes, she might not have your looks and acting skills, but she has one thing you lack: reliability," Ethan replied.When casting actors, the most important factor is reliability. Ethan knew that with Isabella's temper, she might have offended someone during the process, and he didn't want to clean up the mess f
The next day, Isabella slept until noon. After having lunch at home, she took the medicine prescribed by the doctor the day before and returned to her room. Sitting in front of the dressing table, the rash on her face was not much different from yesterday. Isabella frowned slightly. Did she just let Amelia off the hook? That's not like her. This time, Isabella had no intention of tattling on her two brothers either. Just like the day before, after dressing up meticulously, she drove to the film shooting location. It was currently the rest time just after everyone had lunch. Isabella went straight to the rest area and encountered Sandra on the way. Their eyes met, and without waiting for the other to say anything, Isabella immediately smiled and said, "Disappointed that you weren't replaced as the second female lead? Well, I have Ethan backing me. They can't replace me with an actress who doesn't demand a fee!" Sandra didn't initially recognize the woman in front of her, but upon he
The reality show started recording in the afternoon of the second day. After waking up, Isabella picked a casual gray outfit from her wardrobe, styled her hair into loose waves, and applied a bold red lipstick. Off she went! Just like the name suggests, the reality show "Journey Around the World" had a total of five guests who formed teams to travel to different cities. Today's live broadcast was just a preview with all five guests together. Isabella drove alone to the filming location. As she parked her car, the cameraman was already capturing footage with his camera. Knowing that today's episode was being broadcasted live, Isabella smiled at the camera and greeted, "Hi, everyone, I'm Isabella." The first season of "Journey Around the World" was a big hit with many fans, and the audience was already waiting in the live chat. Various comments appeared on the screen. "Who is this? I don't recognize her." "But she looks so beautiful, even without makeup! I love her natural look."
In the end, none of the five contestants guessed the song "Isabella." However, Charles's words were heard by everyone, and the barrage in the live chat kept scrolling."Wow! I didn't even know this song as a long-time fan. I'll go listen to it right away!""Huh? What's the point of liking it if she couldn't even guess it? Didn't she claim to be a big fan of Betty?""She's not likable. Can she just quit the show and stay away from Charles and Eric?"In the end, out of the twenty songs, only seventeen were guessed correctly. The director announced that they had earned a total of $1,700 in funding. Isabella's expression faltered because she knew that this reality show would span three days for each city, and $1,700 for three days was not enough. The director handed her the cash."Alright, today's live broadcast ends here. See you all tomorrow for the first episode's recording. Goodbye, everyone in the live chat!"The barrage in the live chat kept scrolling."Why should she handle the mon
Isabella fled in a panic, driving on the road while still feeling surprised. Was Eric not seeking revenge on her? Was he not filled with resentment for her playing with his emotions and abandoning him? On the contrary, it seemed like he still loved her? A sense of guilt welled up in her heart. But it quickly disappeared; after all, Isabella wasn't a good person to begin with. Just then, her phone on the side rang. It was an unknown number, but Isabella absentmindedly connected it through Bluetooth. "Isabella." It was a male voice, somewhat familiar. Isabella couldn't immediately recall who it was, but before she could say anything, the person on the other end said, "Is this what you meant when you said I would regret it?" "I'll tell you, I've already forgotten about you. Don't think about getting close to me and seducing me again." She slowly realized that it was Brian. It was beyond ridiculous now. "When I said you would regret it, it meant that one day, you would pay the price f
Ethan continued to ignore Isabella until they disembarked from the plane. Isabella was quite unhappy with this man who had been cold to her even after leaving her hanging for more than ten days! As they walked through the secure passage, Isabella spoke with displeasure, "Tell me quickly which hotel you're staying at. There are many fans outside, and you don't want us to trend together, do you?" Upon hearing this, Ethan laughed, a mocking smile on his face. "You have fans?" Isabella was once again infuriated by his response! Seeing Ethan stepping away, Isabella quickly grabbed his arm. "I may not have fans, but the production team is waiting for me outside! It's a live broadcast. You don't want us to appear on TV together, do you?" Ethan narrowed his eyes, his expression sharpening. "Tell me, if you don't, I won't let you go today." "JW Marriott Hotel," Ethan reluctantly replied. Upon hearing his answer, Isabella finally released her grip on his arm. They separated outside the a
