last update Last Updated: 2023-12-15 00:00:35
When Gabriella woke up in the evening, she'd already recovered from her jetlag. So, she brought Colene along for dinner at a restaurant.

After dinner, Colene suggested that they take a stroll outside.

It was very crowded. Most of the people were tourists as they tirelessly took pictures with great enthusiasm.

Gabriella and Colene stood by the dock as the cool sea breeze welcomed them. It was refreshing and invigorating.

Golden rays of sunlight danced across the shimmering waves and reflected against the ocean's surface. The view was breathtaking.

As Gabriella and Colene took pictures, Gabriella felt someone's gaze boring into her back.

However, when she looked around, the person was nowhere to be seen.

They strolled around Moabia Opera House again before returning to the hotel.

Hugo would only arrive after two days. Until then, it would just be Gabriella and Colene.

On the third day, the duo visited the Queen Tower of Wunderbath. It was the largest shopping mall in Moabia.

    Around lunchtime the next day, Gabriella and Colene were a bit tired from wandering around. They decided to grab a bite at a nearby restaurant. As they were waiting for their food, Gabriella casually checked her phone and said, "I wonder if Hugo has arrived. I haven't heard anything from him."Based on the flight info Hugo shared, he was supposed to have landed in Moabia earlier that morning.Colene shot Gabriella a teasing look and said, "Maybe there's a delay. Let's wait a bit longer.""Yeah, let's just wait," Gabriella replied.Suddenly, everything went dark for Gabriella as a pair of hands covered her eyes.Reacting on instinct, Gabriella grabbed the hands in front of her.The owner of the hands playfully lowered their voice, saying, "Guess who? Get it right, and there's a gift waiting for you."Recognizing the voice, Gabriella chuckled, "Hugo, seriously? How old are you?"Hugo released Gabriella with a hint of disappointment. "Was it that obvious?""Duh! Where do you wa

    "If I didn't show up, what were you girls planning to do this afternoon?"Hugo took the side dishes from the waiter and set them on the table."We were thinking of taking the ferry. Heard it's breathtaking to capture the Opera House and Marina Bridge views from the boat," Gabriella mentioned, savoring a piece of grilled steak. It was seared on the outside and juicy inside."Let's go for the ferry then. I'm in." Hugo noticed Gabriella's empty glass and asked, "Would you like another iced tea? I'll get one for you.""Yeah," Gabriella replied as she stirred her soup. "Alright." Hugo placed the refilled glass in front of Gabriella and took a seat."Thanks.""Have you guys seen most of Moabia these past few days? Any plans for where to go next?""Well, we were thinking of heading to Merrington tomorrow, but since you just got here today and haven't had a chance to check out Moabia …""No worry, I've been to Moabia before for work, so I know my way around. Let's head to Merri

    The next day, the trio caught a flight to Merrington. They spent the whole day checking out the place and only thought about dinner in the evening.While they were chowing down, Hugo got a message from his manager. "Hugo, bad news. Summertime Sadness is kicking off in two days, so you need to haul back home pronto and forget about your vacation plans."Hugo was thrown off by that message. He rubbed his eyes to ensure he wasn't mistaken. "Alan, you're not kidding, right? Wasn't Summertime Sadness supposed to kick off after New Year?""Just got a notification in the group. They moved up the schedule."Hugo couldn't wrap his head around it. "Why the sudden switch?""I'm not sure either. I didn't catch wind of it earlier. You're flying back tomorrow. I'll have the assistant book your flight. We can't afford media speculation if you miss the opening ceremony."The thought of heading back tomorrow had Hugo teetering on the edge of a breakdown. He asked, almost pleading, "Is the

    Henry drove Gabriella to the hospital. During the journey, Gabriella quickly messaged Colene on Instagram."Collie, are you okay? I got trampled on and was injured. I'm heading to the hospital. Go back to the hotel and wait for me."Colene replied with a relieved emoji."I'm fine. Geez, these fans are like a cult! How bad's your injury?""Not too bad, don't worry.""You're going to the hospital alone? Where are you now? I'll come with you."Gabriella shot a glance at Henry in the driver's seat. She then replied, "I've left the airport. Just head back to the hotel and wait for me."Colene's message popped up seconds later. "Gabby, swear I just saw Henry!"Gabriella's heart skipped a beat, stealing a nervous glance at Henry. "Nah, you probably got it wrong. Why would he be here?"Staring at the screen, Gabriella waited anxiously for a reply.Colene replied, "Maybe I was mistaken. Anyway, my taxi is here. I'll head back to the hotel and wait for you.""Alright." Gabriel

    "I saved you, and all I get is a quick 'thanks' before you kick me out, Gabby. Are you seriously gonna pull a move like that?"Gabriella stayed silent for a beat before replying, "Think of it that way if you want. "You said you wouldn't follow me anymore, right? Don't tell me it's just a coincidence that you're there on a business trip at the airport.""If I'm not there, who knows what kind of mess you'll end up in? You're losing your wallet one minute and getting hurt the next. How am I supposed to not worry?" Henry retaliated. Gabriella shot back, "We're divorced. My life is none of your business. Just stay out of it.""You—" Henry's expression darkened, his eyes piercing. Gabriella's face went pale. She took an instinctive step back. Henry moved in, his voice serious."Say that again."Gabriella, with uncertain eyes, retreated. "We're divorced. My life is none of your business. Just stay out of it."Her voice quivered, clearly lacking conviction. Henry's face darkened

    "Oh no, I'd feel bad. Let's do it together," Gabriella said. She took off her sandals and sat on the beach. After washing her hands, she started to skewer the meat and seafood.The tour guide prepared bread, lettuce, meat, and sausages. The seafood was bought from the nearby town, mostly fish, prawns, and scallops. The meat had been cut into small slices. It had to be skewered by themselves along with the seafood.It was fun and memorable to get hands-on with preparing the food while enjoying the sea breeze and chatting merrily with other travelers. While they were chatting, a young man introduced himself. His name was Will Swanson, while his friend was Harry Kilt.It would take too long to wait for all the meat and seafood to get skewered, so Will suggested, "Gabriella, I think it's too slow to do it like this. Why don't we skewer it while barbecuing?""Sure.""Then you skewer it, I'll do the barbecuing. Just prepare more of whatever you like to eat, I'll cook it for you,"

    When they returned from the lighthouse to the forest camping site, the tour guide and the other tourists had already cleared a place to get ready for the bonfire.Gabriella and Colene brought their self-heating beef chili. With a side of roast corn and grilled meat, it could be considered a satisfying meal in the wild.Will helped the tour guide give out food, and he brought over two paper cups of coffee. "This is coffee for you two. If it's not enough, you can take more from there.""Okay, thanks." Gabriella took a sip and placed it to the side. A dark glint flashed across Will's eyes. Harry had insomnia so he brought along some sleeping pills. Unexpectedly, his sleep got better and better as the trip went on. He even said that it was a waste of effort to bring the pills. Now, Will was putting it to good use. After dinner, Gabriella sipped the coffee slowly. The tour guide brought the crate of beer bottles to the tourists, asking, "There's some beer here!

    Instantly, Will was wide awake. So the person who took Gabriella away wasn't Colene?Will felt immense regret for letting someone else spirit Gabriella away from his side. That person slipped into her tent in the middle of the night. Of course, it couldn't have been with good intentions; that person probably had the same idea as Will!All his efforts were wasted on that person! If he saved Gabriella and placed the blame for drugging her on the person, maybe Gabriella would have been so touched that she would date him! He was very frustrated at losing such a good opportunity. The tour guide looked inside the wide-open tent. Indeed, it was empty. "Did she bring her phone?""No!"Gabriella's phone was still in the tent."Maybe she went to the woods to relieve herself?" the tour guide guessed.The driver and a few others came around. A middle-aged man said, "Don't panic just yet. Let's wait here for a while. If she's not back in ten minutes, we'll go and find her."At this t

    Shawn and Carmila's wedding was rescheduled once Henry had been safely released from the detention center.However, Carmila's pregnancy was already showing, so the wedding was kept simple.Firstly, everyone thought she would appear unsightly if she married while being visibly pregnant. The second reason was that they feared the complex wedding would exhaust her and the child in her womb.Carmila was displeased, but she had no say in the matter. Furthermore, insisting on a bigger ceremony would make it appear that she didn't care about the child.The wedding car left Florin around 5:00 am and picked her up at 8:00 am.Shawn was in a suit, and Carmila was in a wedding gown.

    Naturally, Elaine wouldn't tell the truth. "I've told you about Moabia before. They're the ones who took the watch. "I ran into Fay's friend at the mall two days ago. She recognized and mocked me! I was outraged and tried to scare them today. But they smashed my car, pinned me to the ground, and beat me!"Unexpectedly, Sam scowled. "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. Just like when she broke a person's leg and said it was just a minor injury. Elaine couldn't b

    Alicia looked over and saw Colene drag Elaine by the hair and push her to the ground. Colene even tied her hands with a rope as she struggled.Gabriella straddled Elaine, grabbed her chin, and slapped her twice.It was a rare opportunity to teach Elaine a lesson. She naturally wanted to settle the scores!Alicia was speechless. Sam's plane was about to land. She didn't want to face him with a bruised and swollen face."Ah! Just wait and see! I'll kill you bitches! Let go of me! My uncle will shoot you both! Ah! Fay, you bitch!"Elaine was crying and howling on the ground, her voice shrill. It was the first time in her life that she had suffered such humiliation!

    They were her nemesis!Elaine fixed her gaze on Gabriella and Colene, filled with rage. "I must teach them a lesson!"Alicia, trying to discourage her, said, "Elaine, I don't think it's a good idea. We're in Chatan…""My uncle's here. What are you afraid of?" Elaine replied unconcernedly, "Follow me."Gabriella and Colene stepped into a clothing store while talking. The clothing in the store was stylish. Gabriella chose a one-shoulder dress and entered the changing room.Colene was outside and exclaimed with astonishment, "Damn! So the woman standing with Henry outside the women's restroom door that day was Elaine?"Gabriella frequently videocalled her while in Draken, telling her about her situation there.She then realized that Gabriella had met the self-righteous foolish Elaine, the young lady of the Draken's wealthy family, on the plane again."It's her," Gabriella responded as she changed clothes."She came to Florin?""Do you remember that we met a big shot at the pol

    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. Then, she bit her lip. "No, Henry… don't… uh, Lise is beside me… don't…"A light seemed to flash across her brain, and she stiffened suddenly, and her eyes went out of focus as she stared at the ceiling. Her breathing turned heavy.Henry kissed her cheek and got some wet towels to wipe her do

    Felise hadn't seen Gabriella in two months, and she missed her dearly.After school, Felise got in line with the other children to leave the kindergarten. She looked around and heard her seatmate say, "Lise, your parents have come together to get you!"Felise followed the gaze of her seatmate, and she saw a man and a woman standing side by side, their eyes searching through the crowd of kindergarteners. The man wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his lean forearms. He wore black pants and a leather belt, which showed off his long legs. He looked like a model.The woman wore a fitting white lace blouse, and there was a white-gold necklace around her creamy neck. Her arms were fair and slender, like snow, and she wore a short khaki-colored miniskirt. Her legs were slim and fair, and her skin was flawless. They were a very good-looking couple, and they attracted the attention of many of the parents. Even the children couldn't help looking over at

    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. He asked Gabriella which of these she was interested in. As lo

    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.
