On the bustling road, Ethan was driving. He actually didn't want Isabella to come to the office with him, but Ryan was just there. Ethan did it intentionally.At this moment, Isabella had no idea about Ethan's scheming side. She looked at her phone and asked, "Are you going to the Thomas family's party tonight?"Ethan nodded. The two companies had a lot of business cooperation, so he naturally had to attend."I'm going too. Can we go together?""No.""Oh." Isabella lowered her gaze, and her pitiful voice sounded, "What if I get bullied at the party?"At her words, a cold smile appeared on Ethan's lips. Bullied? It seemed that she was the one who bullied others. Soon, the car arrived at the company building.On the way to the parking lot, Isabella saw a convenience store and quickly spoke up, "Stop the car, I want to buy some water."Ethan furrowed his brows slightly. "We have water at the company.""I don't want to drink the water from your company."He didn't say anything and parked
The office was messy. After finishing, Ethan took a shower in the office lounge. The warm water drenched his body, and the scene just now came to mind. He had to admit that this woman, Isabella, was as addictive as a drug. Fascinating yet incomprehensible. Isabella didn't want his money, nor did she ever ask him for any resources. What exactly was Isabella's intention in getting close to him? Ethan couldn't understand. Was it for the position of Mrs. Adams? Ethan was lost in thought. Meanwhile, Isabella had already returned home after enjoying herself. After taking a relaxing hot bath, Isabella dried her hair and looked at the variety of dresses in her wardrobe. She casually picked up a black strapless dress and changed into it. She styled her hair into loose waves and applied makeup. The whole process took her two hours. In the afternoon, Kathy had already sent the invitation, so Isabella took the invitation and drove to the venue of the banquet. When she arrived at the five-star h
As the three of them chatted aimlessly, a bustling noise came from the banquet hall, and the guests turned their gaze towards the entrance.Isabella raised her gaze and met the figure in the black suit. It was Ethan. He had a slender figure and a serious expression on his face, always emitting an aura of keeping others at a distance.Isabella lifted her wine glass and took a sip, reminiscing about the events of the afternoon. She couldn't help but sigh.Just then, Sophia nudged Isabella's arm. "Look, look, Kathy is going over."Upon hearing that, Isabella looked in Ethan's direction again, and sure enough, Kathy walked towards him with a graceful posture. A cold light flashed in Isabella's eyes.Olivia seemed to notice something and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Amelia is going over too! Hurry up and assert your dominance!""Sisters, stay calm," Isabella said, dragging her chin and lifting her wine glass to take a sip. "It's just two women. What's the big deal? No problem."Upon hearing
Olivia stood beside Isabella, her gaze falling on Isabella's phone screen. Although she couldn't see clearly what they were chatting about, she noticed that the person's profile picture was Alexander. Olivia's eyes flickered, and she looked at her own phone—no messages from Alexander, even though she had left and he hadn't bothered to send a single message."Let's go!" Isabella put away her phone.The three of them changed out of their formal attire in their respective cars before heading to a nearby club. Before getting out of the car, Isabella didn't forget to send her bank account number to Kathy.Once they arrived at the club, they booked a private room and Sophia called a few handsome young men to accompany them. With lively music playing in the room, they played poker and drank one glass after another. Isabella and Olivia had their own thoughts, while Sophia was the only one enjoying herself by drinking.After some time, Isabella's phone rang again. Along with Alexander scolding
Isabella shouted loudly, catching the attention of a traffic police officer who was maintaining order. He immediately approached them.Ethan had a dark expression on his face, his intense gaze meeting Isabella's eyes. He uttered two words, "Very good."His voice was calm, but clearly filled with danger. Isabella felt a moment of guilt, but then she felt proud of herself for what she had done!The traffic police officer, a man in his forties or fifties with a kind and honest appearance, walked towards the driver's window and spoke calmly, "Pull over to the side of the road."Ethan calmly turned the steering wheel and parked the car by the roadside.The traffic police officer took out a breathalyzer.Isabella leaned against the window, a gloating expression on her face. However, after the test, no alcohol was detected.Isabella's expression turned astonished, and she couldn't accept it. She questioned, "This can't be right. Is your device faulty?"Ethan looked at Isabella again, his exp
The atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous... After it was over, Isabella was exhausted and didn't know how she fell asleep. The next day, she was awakened by the alarm clock, and before she could open her eyes, Isabella felt sore all over her body. She silently stared at the ceiling.The scenes from last night replayed in her mind. She recalled that the initial tenderness was all fake, and later Ethan was simply inhuman. He was domineering and disregarded her resistance, as if seeking revenge and venting.After some time, Isabella finally got up from the bed and took out her phone to check Lisa's schedule for the day. She felt even more mentally exhausted.After freshening up, Isabella went downstairs. Surprisingly, Ethan was still at home, casually sitting at the dining table and having breakfast.Isabella glanced at him resentfully and cursed him silently in her heart, calling him a despicable man. Then she slowly walked over and sat across from him.Ethan raised his gaz
Isabella and Lisa separated. As Isabella walked towards the parking lot, she heard a voice behind her."Isabella, wait a moment."Isabella halted her steps and turned around to see the creepy man standing behind her.With a round face and a smile, he looked at Isabella and said, "Don't pay attention to Gracie's words. I think you're a talented actress and perfect for the leading role in this movie.""Is that so?" Isabella sneered."Yes, let's go to a nearby café and chat. Not only about the female lead in this play, but also about the resources of my company. Whatever you want, I can provide it for you."The man looked at Isabella's enchanting face and felt a tingling sensation in his heart.Isabella crossed her arms and spoke with a sly smile, "A café? How about going directly to a hotel?"Upon hearing this, a trace of disbelief flashed through the man's eyes, but the smile on his face deepened. "Sure... a hotel sounds good! Isabella, you're quite straightforward."He liked that. Say
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
