Gabriella hung up and returned to her seat.

Seeing her visibly deflated, Colene asked casually, "Who called?"

"A friend." Gabriella bit her lip.

Colene snorted. "I know all your friends. You're not talking about Henry, are you?"

Gabriella was silent.

Colene knew she had guessed correctly and said, "What is he still calling you for? Is he bothering you? Gabby, don't give in and forgive him!"

"I won't," Gabriella said firmly. "His friend called just now and said he was drinking. He asked me to persuade him to stop. Besides, he got injured because of me. I can't just ignore him."

"I don't think Gabby will be that foolish," Quinn chimed in. "But I think she needs time to get over it."

After a two-hour flight, Gabby and her two friends arrived in Tomson.

After leaving the airport, they took public transport to the hotel.

From the windows of the bus, they could still see a layer of snow on either side of the road.

Colene had booked the Aurora Hotel.

    "There are several strange things about this incident. Firstly, Mrs. Toussaint had a good female friend there, but when she contacted Mrs. Toussaint after coming back, Mrs. Toussaint acted as if she didn't know her and treated her very coldly.""Secondly, the person I know there looked in all the hospitals and clinics, including in neighboring cities, but they found no record of Mrs. Toussaint giving birth. Either it was erased on purpose, or she went to an even further city.""The other thing is, if Mrs. Touissant took such a long leave of absence, it should appear on her results sheet, but after she returned to Chatan, she transferred her credits. All her results were excellent, and there were no abnormalities at all."Jacob finished, but Henry was silent for a long time. Jacob was finally a little anxious and said, "Mr. Toussaint?""Continue investigating. Also, I don't want other people to know about this.""Understood."Henry hung up and tossed the phone onto his bedside t

    Gabriella still wasn't that familiar with skiing, so when she skied down the slope, she fell and couldn't get up for a long time. Luckily, Robin was nearby and glided over to help her up.Gabriella propped herself up with the ski poles and rubbed the snow from her eyes. "Thank you!" she said to Robin. Robin smiled shyly. "You're welcome. Um … Miss, can I have your Instagram?"He was afraid that Gabriella would refuse, so he explained hurriedly. "I just want to pay you for the dry cleaning."Gabriella said, "Alright, I'll get Collie to send it to you when we get back."Robin smiled happily, revealing his teeth again. "Okay! Thank you!"At this time of year, the nights were long, and the days were short in Lelaug. By the time it was three or four in the afternoon, the sky was already dark. The ski facility was lit up, and the snow shone brightly. They stayed at the ski facility until about five, and when they left, they were exhausted. However, they didn't feel tired but wer

    She wore a long, thick puffer jacket, making her look as if she was a cute little penguin. She also wore gloves, and from time to time, she stretched out her arms to pat herself.Looking at how lively Gabriella was, Henry wished that he could walk over and embrace her.But he knew that he couldn't. She was finally looking a little happier, and if he appeared in front of her, she would start feeling down again.

She sat in the innermost seat while Gabriella sat in the aisle seat. Quinn was in the seat across from Gabriella.Colene looked around the bus and said to Gabriella, "This is a pretty fancy bus. It even has air conditioning. I saw pictures of other people's tours, and their vans looked pretty small an

    "Gabby, weren't you worried about not being able to find a hobby?" Colene asked. "Isn't photography a good one? "You don't have to worry about making a living anyway, so why not buy a camera and travel around to take photos? You can even invite handsome men and pretty ladies for photoshoots. Isn't that great?"Gabriella smiled in amusement. "Okay."Her life didn't only consist of Henry. She would pick up the past that she had thrown away.Gabriella took many photos of Colene and Quinn with the camera.Lastly, the three friends took a photo together to commemorate the moment.Meanwhile, the tour guide and driver were busy lighting the campfire and taking out the snacks. Gabriella was tired of taking photos, so she gave Quinn the camera. She didn't want to wait on the bus, so she sat beside the campfire. Unintentionally, she heard a tourist pointing in the distance, saying, "There's a car there. The person probably drove over to see the Northern Lights too, right?"Gabriella

    Colene decided on several bottles of white wine without knowing Henry's presence."Honestly, even though Gabby was with us for the past few days, she seemed gloomy and disinterested. Now, she's finally let loose. Come on, let's celebrate Gabby's successful divorce and her entry into the world of singlehood!""Come on, we're not leaving until we're drunk!"Gabriella smiled as she poured herself a drink. "Well, I'll gladly join you, even if it's a life-or-death commitment!"They chatted away, sipping their drinks one after another.Colene, a bit tipsy, spoke candidly, "Gabby … I always knew Henry wasn't a good guy. How could you put up with him for so long?"If I were you, I would have left him ages ago, enjoying the alimony and supporting two male models. Doesn't that sound great?"Come on, let me show you my goodies. Shh … keep it a secret. I've never shown them to anyone."In a slightly tipsy state, Colene opened her phone's encrypted album.

"Nothing would happen if you didn't scare them."As soon as he heard about Moabia, he knew that Gabriella's friend, whom Elaine mentioned, was Colene.Although he hadn't returned to Chatan at that time, he had been following Colene's Twitter account and checking it frequently. He knew she had accompanied Gabriella to Moabia.She wouldn't let herself suffer, and she wouldn't mock others without reason. There must be a reason for everything.Furthermore, Elaine's words lacked credibility.Everyone would choose to portray themselves favorably, including her.

    Then she turned slightly to see that Felise was still fast asleep. However, they were so close that they might wake her up.Gabriella didn't want Felise to catch them in the act.Henry didn't answer. He blew hot air onto Gabriella's neck, and goosebumps prickled her skin. He caught her earlobe and sucked it hard.A jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through her, and she shuddered. She curled her toes and shrank back.Suddenly, Gabriella became fully awake, and she tightened around Henry's hand. "What… what are you doing?"Henry's mouth was next to her ear, and his breath was hot on her earlobes. "I'm helping you relax.""No…""When you're relaxed, I'll sleep."Gabriella remained silent.

He looked like a model.The woman wore a fitting white lace blouse, and there was a white-gold necklace around her creamy neck.

    It was already noon. Henry told the driver to make a detour to a restaurant. The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor and politely handed them a menu.Henry had come here a few times before. Perhaps it was because he didn't like lamb, but he only just noticed that there were several signature lamb dishes on the menu. Gabriella looked through the menu and ordered a few at random.Henry heard her orders and told the waiter, "Add a braised lamb and lamb rack.""You have great taste, sir. These are our signature dishes." The waiter smiled and noted it down."Will it be too much?""It's okay. We can bring it back if we can't finish it." Henry gave the menu to the waiter. "That's all."While they waited for the food to be served, the two of them chatted casually.Henry told her in detail about all the affiliated companies under Toussaint Holdings and the new products the studios were about to launch.

    Then Layla heard something that made her lose all hope."Layla, come to my office."She opened her mouth, then deflated and said, "Okay."The intern looked curiously at Shawn's retreating figure and said, "Why does Mr. Shawn want to see you?""I don't know. Whatever it is, I'll find out when I go. I'm leaving." Layla carried an expression of dignified resignation.She guessed that Shawn wanted to see her about the office romance issue. She wasn't dating Robin, but it was worse than dating. Shawn had just stepped into the office when Layla followed him in. Her head was lowered, and she looked uneasy. "Mr. Shawn, what do you want to see me about?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Shawn sat down behind the desk and arranged the documents on it. He asked casually, "Do you remember what I asked you during your interview?""Y-yes… you asked me what I think about office romances." Layla lowered her gaze and answered in a small voice.
