Chapter 3: Insult Me with a Check?

Ethan had encountered various pursuers before, but never like this. The scent of Isabella's perfume filled the air, strong yet not unpleasant, making him feel somewhat heated.

Isabella was just bantering with her words, not expecting much. After all, she had learned from Sophia that Ethan was known for his abstinence. Her actions were merely meant to leave a deeper impression on him.

However, the man in front of her, whose face exuded abstinence, suddenly smiled. In a deep voice, he asked, "Are you sure?" Isabella looked up at him in disbelief.

"Not daring to?" Ethan saw right through the hesitation in Isabella's eyes. His expression carried a hint of mockery. The next moment, he put away the lighter and turned to leave.

But Isabella grabbed his wrist. "Let's go!" She was an adult with desires, and no man had ever captured her interest. Yet Ethan, with his appearance, satisfied her. Perhaps fueled by the alcohol in her system, Isabella felt even more determined. She wanted to sleep with Ethan! Skip the small steps and go straight to the end!

Ethan, caught by Isabella's grasp, turned his gaze back to her, his expression slightly different.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid? Or are you incapable?" Isabella's laughter carried a seductive tone.

Ethan's face immediately darkened. The next moment, he took Isabella's hand and left the bar. They arrived at a hotel, booked a room, and took the elevator to their destination. Both of them appeared calm, like experienced individuals, although in reality, they were both new to this. The moment the door opened, Isabella took the initiative to embrace Ethan's neck, pressing him against the wall, and on tiptoes, she kissed his lips.

Ethan's gaze darkened. It was the first time in over twenty years that he had been so intimate with a woman. He had never been interested in women before. Isabella, like a rose in the dark night, had awakened his desires. Every part of him burned with anticipation! He grabbed Isabella's hand and with a turn, their positions shifted.

Their lips intertwined, a faint taste of smoke and alcohol lingered. Isabella didn't know how to describe the sensation. It was exhilarating!

They didn't know how long their kiss lasted, but by the time Isabella found herself on the big bed in Ethan's embrace, their clothes had already disappeared. During their encounter, their phones occasionally rang, but neither paid any attention.

The next day, Isabella slept until noon as usual before waking up. As she opened her eyes, she immediately felt the soreness throughout her body. The alcohol had worn off completely, and Isabella was fully awake.

The scattered clothes and the ambiguous atmosphere reminded her vividly of the scenes from last night. Isabella's fair face blushed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel regret. She had originally wanted to pursue Ethan and become his girlfriend, but before even starting, she had ended up sleeping with him directly.

Ethan was no longer in the hotel room, and Isabella's displeasure became evident in her gaze. She got off the bed, got dressed, and noticed something on the table from the corner of her eye. Isabella narrowed her eyes and walked over. It was a check for one million dollars.

Good! Excellent! From childhood to adulthood, as the little princess of the Turner family, Isabella gets whatever she wants. Even if she desires the moon in the sky, the family can find a way to pluck it for her. Any unsolvable problem can be easily resolved with money. She is well aware of the meaning of this check.

What does Ethan think of her? Fuming with anger, Isabella took a shower and left the hotel. She went to a nearby mall and bought a new set of clothes to change into.

While in the fitting room, her eyes caught sight of ambiguous marks on her neck. Isabella once again criticized Ethan in her mind and recalled the events of last night. It's worth mentioning that Ethan called her by name last night. Does he know her? Isabella chose a blouse with a slightly high collar and then took a taxi to Ethan's company.

The events of yesterday can be said to be consensual between the two. Ethan considered himself generous and gave Isabella one million dollars, as if buying her virginity.

But to his surprise, Isabella showed ingratitude. She found Ethan and when she received a call from his assistant, Ethan's eyes flickered slightly. Does Isabella want to continue the relationship? Or does she find the money insufficient? Ethan is not sure. But regardless of the reason, he wants to continue interacting with Isabella.

The bite mark on Ethan's neck from their passionate night still throbbed, and he knew Isabella was a fiery and impulsive person, unlike his reserved nature. Therefore, he directly told his secretary that he didn't know her and asked her to leave.

Downstairs, Isabella was almost escorted out by security, experiencing such humiliation for the first time in her life. Isabella cursed Ethan a million times in her heart!

After leaving Ethan's company, Isabella, filled with anger, arrived at the nearby NS company, a luxury brand company founded by Alexander. Taking the exclusive elevator, Isabella headed straight to Alexander's office.

Alexander is also a person with a bad temper. When someone barged into his office without knocking, he was about to get angry. But when he saw who it was, he instantly developed a headache.

Isabella entered and sat on the couch. Picking up a magazine from the table, she aggressively said, "Send all your new products to my villa." Only bags and accessories can soothe her anger now.

"Who offended you? Tell me, I'll make friends with him."

Isabella crossed her arms and said with rage, "It's Ethan."

Alexander heard the name and thought he didn't want to be friends with this person. "I'm curious, how did he offend you?"

"He..." Isabella was about to speak but glanced at Alexander. She didn't dare to tell him about last night. If her family found out, she would be in trouble.

"I went to his company to find him, but the security guards kicked me out and refused to let me see him!"

"You really have no idea how high the sky is. How many things does Ethan have to deal with in a day? Do you think he has time to see you? Stop dreaming!"

"No wonder Olivia doesn't like you. With your personality, I don't like you either!"

Alexander was so angry that he couldn't speak. At that moment, his assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Olivia is here. Do you want to see her?"

Alexander's eyes instantly lit up. He looked at the door and said, "Let her in quickly!" Then he looked at Isabella and said, "You, leave quickly! Later, I'll have someone deliver the new products to your villa."

"Look at how worthless you are!" Isabella muttered softly. "By the way, there's a family dinner tonight. Don't forget." "Got it, now go!" Alexander replied.

Every Sunday, their family would go to have dinner with their grandparents. Isabella didn't like going because she had an unpleasant argument with her grandmother a few days ago.

Arriving at the elevator, Isabella stood there for a couple of seconds. The elevator doors opened, and a stylish and stunning woman stepped out. She had short hair and wore sunglasses, giving off a fiery personality.

Isabella could roughly guess that she was Olivia. She never expected Alexander to like this kind of woman.
