Gabriella looked at him as if he was crazy. "Merry Christmas."

She turned and walked forward.

"Where are you going?" Henry caught up and walked with her side by side.

"I'm just walking around," she said shortly.

"I saw you talking to Megan just now. What were you talking about?" Henry asked offhandedly.

Gabriella raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Can't you tell? Oliver and Megan haven't been talking to each other at all tonight. It's very unusual."

"No, I was only focused on you."

Gabriella glared at him. "That's cheesy."

"Is it?" Henry raised his eyebrows innocently.

Gabriella looked away and paused before asking, "It seems it's because Oliver has another woman on the side. Did you know about that?"

"No, I didn't." Henry was surprised. "Maybe it's a misunderstanding?"

He remembered that Oliver was the one who had pursued Megan, and he had spent a long time before he succeeded.

They had grown up together, and from what Henry knew of Oliver, he loved Megan very much

    "Hmm?"From behind her came a deep, muffled sound. "What is it?" His deep, husky voice rang out right beside her ear and seemed to crash against her eardrums. It felt like an electric current had jolted through her body, making her feel all tingly. Outside the window, fireworks were going off. They lit up the dark room in flashes of light. Gabriella flipped over, and the first thing she saw was Henry's sexy Adam's apple and his perfect jawline. She paused briefly, then took a deep breath and propped herself up. "How did you get into my blankets?"Henry looked sleepy as he scrunched his eyes up and scratched his head. "Did I?"Gabriella pulled her blanket over. "Didn't you? Open your eyes and look—"Gabriella suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She stared at the blanket in her hand, stunned. This blanket … seemed to be Henry's …She sat up at once and looked around. Finally, she saw her own blanket under the bed … At that moment, Gabriella wanted to die from embarrassment!

    Gabriella murmured in assent.It looked like Henry was determined to keep Felise here.She looked down at Felise. The little girl was unwrapping her presents on the sofa."What did Uncle Henry give you?" Felise was still unwrapping. "I don't know yet!""Do you like your gift, Lise?"Felise looked up and giggled, then continued tearing off the paper.When Gabriella saw that she had finally finished unwrapping it, she said, "It's time for breakfast! Shall we put it away?""No." Felise held her new doll tightly in her hands.At that moment, there were footsteps from upstairs.Gabriella looked up, and she locked eyes with Diana. She smiled lightly. "Aunt Diana."Diana huffed coldly and made her way downstairs. Felise looked up, and she suddenly looked nervous. "Grandma."After greeting Diana, she continued fiddling with her doll."Lise, come here next to me," Diana said gently, sitting on the sofa opposite her.Felise looked up and hesitated. Diana took out a gift and be

    Gabriella couldn't help swallowing, and her fingers dug into her sleeve as she looked around her cautiously. There was only one unit on this floor, and right outside her door was the elevator. Beside it was the emergency staircase. There was silence surrounding her, except for the faint noise coming from the elevators moving up and down. However, Gabriella felt like she could hear breathing behind the door to the emergency staircase. The person who had sent the paper must be hiding there, watching her reaction. Gabriella took a deep breath, turned to close the door and locked it. She leaned against the door, feeling the strength leaving her.After a few minutes, Gabriella calmed down. She took a photo of the piece of paper, sent it to the building manager, and requested for him to check the security camera footage. Before she decided to investigate this incident and after Leonard had received the death threat, she had already thought of the consequences. There was nothing to

    Six days after Christmas, Colene returned from the Wistle residence. She pushed her luggage aside and slumped on the sofa. She rubbed her forehead irritatedly, looking very tired."What is it?" Gabriella poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her. Colene sighed loudly but did not speak. She seemed very stressed.She had always been full of energy and faced everything with a smile. This was the first time that Gabriella had seen her like this. "What's wrong, Collie? Are your parents okay?"Colene looked down, her expression weary. "Gabby, do you think that men only think with the lower half of their bodies?"Gabriella paused, and she made an unpleasant guess in her heart. Colene laughed mockingly."I just found out that my dad had an affair and has a son out there. He's already in university! I wondered why my dad kept making me go on blind dates!"Although she'd already guessed it, Gabriella still couldn't help looking shocked. She had always found Donald very agreeabl

    Jacob hesitated. If he remembered correctly, Frank had been the president of the Chatanese Association when Gabriella was studying overseas. He had helped Gabriella a lot and was one of the men who had been close to her. He might even be the father of the child that Gabriella had once had!Perhaps he was so hostile toward Henry because he knew that Henry was Gabriella's ex-husband!One of the reasons that Henry had returned to Toussaint Holdings was because the Caddel family had poached several core workers at a high price from Toussaint Holdings' new energy project. The project had been stalled. Every day delayed was a huge loss. Henry had singlehandedly propped up this project at the start, and he had invested a large amount. The management was not willing to cut their losses, and neither was Henry. In any case, this Caddel fellow was not to be underestimated. Jacob was about to remind Henry about the relationship between Frank and Gabriella, but then the elevator doors ope

    No wonder. No wonder there had been no trace of the incident on the Internet. No wonder Hannah had pushed her so boldly just now. She knew that Gabriella needed her and would not call the police. At that moment, Gabriella's thoughts had become completely muddled, like a tangled skein of wool. No matter what she did, she could not straighten her thoughts. Before coming in, she had already thought of what to say to persuade the victim. But the news that Hannah was the victim had completely blindsided her, and now her preparation was useless.She suddenly had no idea what to do. Would Hannah testify? Gabriella had no confidence in that. She took a deep breath, limped over to the sofa and sat down. "Let's not talk about the grudges between us. You know why I asked to see you. I hope that you can testify against Benjamin, the kidnapper who got you into this mess. Don't you want to make them get the punishment they deserve?"Hannah laughed lightly and pointed at her face.

    Henry carried Gabriella into the car and put her in the backseat, looking closely at her.Her forehead was red, and there were two bandaids stuck on it. The left side of her face was red and swollen, with a clear handprint visible on it. And her right foot …He lifted Gabriella's right foot and tried to take her boot off. Gabriella tried to pull back, but he held her calf tightly.When the boot was off, it was obvious even through her socks that her ankle was extremely swollen. In summary, she looked completely disheveled.Henry's eyes were intense as he asked, "What happened? How did you get injured? Who hit you?"Gabriella remained silent for a few seconds. "Don't interfere.""Gabriella!"Gabriella turned away from Henry's accusing gaze and closed her eyes. Henry was both resigned and angry. Did she think that he wouldn't know if she didn't say anything?Who could have made her keep it a secret despite being wronged in this way?Henry hadn't had a drop of alcohol at the ga

    "Sorry to keep you guys waiting," said Gabriella. Frank said, "We've just arrived as well."He sized Gabriella up and asked, "Your forehead is injured. What happened? Is it serious?"Gabriella replied, "It's nothing. I just accidentally fell.""It's been a few years. You still look as beautiful as you did in university," said Frank. Gabriella smiled bashfully. "Not really. Frank, let me introduce my two good friends. This is Colene, and this is Quinn. Quinnie's a photographer too. The girl who didn't get out of the car is my niece."Colene smiled and said, "Hello, handsome. I'm Colene Wistle." The feeling of sorrow would not linger on her for too long. She could always digest it, and it did not take her long to look happy again. Quinn nodded at Frank. "Hello, I'm Quinn Smith."Frank shifted her gaze to Colene, paused momentarily, and then looked at Quinn. He nodded with a gentlemanly smile."Hello, I'm Frank Caddel, Gabby's mentor.

    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

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.

    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.
