Isabella, with a displeased expression, went to the bathroom to freshen up. Half an hour later, when she walked out humming a tune in her bath towel, she immediately stopped singing upon seeing the man sitting on the couch. At this moment, Ethan's thoughts were: "Hmm, I've never heard someone sing so badly before." Isabella remained calm and walked over nonchalantly. "When did you come back?" "Just now," Ethan replied flatly. As Isabella approached, she noticed that he was holding a box. It was the cufflinks she had just bought at the mall. Isabella smiled and said, "It's a gift for you. Do you like it?" As soon as she finished speaking, Ethan threw the box aside and said, "I don't like it. Take it with you tomorrow." A hint of danger flickered in her eyes. "Ethan, don't be ungrateful. I bought you a gift out of kindness. If you don't like it, it's fine, but at least say something polite." Ethan met her displeased gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the money to b

The newcomer in the industry, who was rumored to be arrogant, had arrived. Arrogance had always been associated with Kathy. Well, she remembered her. Naturally, Kathy carried the last box of luggage herself. Once they entered the living room, everyone began the room allocation.The entire villa was not only simple but also had only two rooms on the second floor. There was no need for allocation, as it was obvious that the boys would occupy one room and the girls the other.Upon reaching the second floor, Isabella explored the room. Two double beds were placed inside, which didn't seem crowded, but with three people staying and Kathy's four boxes of luggage, it became...Isabella glanced at Kathy and Julia, who had also arrived. Kathy looked displeased and spoke slowly, "I'm used to sleeping alone, so you two can share a bed."Isabella smiled lightly and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm also used to sleeping alone."At that moment, Isabella had already sat on the bed by the window, looking at

As Isabella and Charles were preparing to go upstairs to wash up and sleep after losing the game, Isabella secretly went to the first-floor washroom to make a phone call to Ethan. The call connected quickly."Ethan, what are you doing?" Isabella asked.It was quiet on Ethan's end, and he didn't respond to Isabella's question. In his cold and magnetic voice, he asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing! I just miss you," Isabella replied.Upon hearing these words, a slight smile tugged at the corners of Ethan's lips."Oh.""What 'oh'?" Isabella continued, "My period stopped today, and I'll be back in a couple of days. Hehe."Was Isabella really just missing him and nothing else? Ethan didn't respond, so Isabella carried on, "Did you watch my livestream? Let me tell you, Kathy is deliberately targeting me. Ethan, if I offend her, will you help me?"Isabella was merely asking casually, not expecting Ethan..."No, I won't," Ethan replied.Isabella chuckled, "If you won't, then you won't. Well, go t

The recording was over, and it was nearly a five-hour flight. By the time they arrived, it was already daylight. Isabella, carrying her suitcase, walked out of the airport with a tired expression on her face.Outside, Kathy smiled and looked at everyone. "My car is in the parking lot. Did any of you not drive here? I can give you a ride."Charles and Eric shook their heads. They both had drivers coming to pick them up."What about you, Isabella? Shall I give you a ride?" Eric asked.Isabella shook her head. "No need, I drove here myself."Everyone walked towards the parking lot. As they walked, Kathy spoke up, "By the way, today is the 200th anniversary celebration of my family's company. Are you free tonight? Come and join us."Julia nodded and quickly agreed. Charles looked at Isabella, while Eric remained silent. Isabella naturally didn't want to go. "Your family's anniversary celebration has nothing to do with me!""Isabella, why don't you come along? There will be many famous peo

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
