"Does Lise know? How did she react when she found out?" Gabriella asked.

"I asked her. She's being hesitant about choosing between her two options. She needs someone to help her make a decision."

Gabriella hesitated for a moment.

"But …"

"No 'buts.' We've been with her for a long time. She can put us and Aunt Diana in the same position. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I got it."

After ending the call, Gabriella turned her car around at the upcoming intersection and headed to the relevant department to meet Henry.

She parked her car in the parking lot in front of the police service center.

In no time, a car with a familiar license plate drove in.

Gabriella got out of the car and walked to the open space in front of the office.

Henry had come with Felise.

Gabriella waved at her as she watched the little girl alight from the car.

"Lise."

Felise ran up to her and held Gabriella's hand.

She greeted, "Aunt Gabriella!"

There was a soft sound as Henry closed the car door. Afte

In reality, Gabriella was merely going along with it.Although she clearly wanted to break up with Robin, she pretended otherwise to upset him. She had become bolder after the divorce.Henry removed his headphones and tossed them into a box.His inner fire grew stronger. It was almost uncontrollable. He wanted to confront Gabriella. He wanted to test if she dared to defy him by pinning her down on the bed. His last bit of reasoning prevented him from acting on that thought.Henry pulled out a cigarette and a lighter at the traffic light. He was just about to light it when he remembered Felise in the back seat. He put the lighter away.The traffic light turned green, and Henry drove again.By the time they arrived at Astral Heights Villa, the cigarette filter was badly bitten. Henry drove to the company after dropping off Felise. Suddenly, the phone rang. Henry glanced at the screen and answered the

    Hannah remembered that after her rescue, Henry had been very silent. He never talked about breakups again when he learned about her experience.She could sense that he was feeling down, blaming himself, and frustrated. Despite all this, he never smoked, even on sleepless nights.Back in college, Henry, the son of the Toussaints, studied tirelessly and was an outstanding student.The usually confident Hannah faced challenges when pursuing him. It made her look at Henry in a more serious light. He was different from the typical rich kids. He had his own goals and principles.She thought that he would stay true to his principles. She didn't think that they would be so easily broken by Gabriella.Henry crushed his cigarette in the ashtray and raised his arm. His shirt highlighted his muscular shoulders.

    After the director shouted the cue to cut, Gabriella handed the down jacket to Hannah.Hannah had scenes in the afternoon, so they had lunch on the set.Gabriella overheard Hannah answering a call in the car when she was delivering lunch to her. It seemed to be someone from her studio. There was a mention that the investors had sent over several scripts and were asking Hannah to choose one.Among the scripts, Gabriella had heard of two that were highly valued by the next-stage investors. Many actors were competing to be a part of them.One of the scripts involved a renowned collaboration between the director and screenwriter. Both were highly successful in the industry and had won numerous awards. It's a major production.She looked up the rest, and they were all adaptations of popular novels and major IPs. They already had some built-in popularity.Gabriella was surprised.During her break these days, she'd listen to the crew members and background actors chatting. She gained s

    "What?"Gabriella was caught off guard by the sudden mention of her name. She looked up in confusion, finding everyone's eyes fixed on her.She had been deliberately keeping a low profile as an assistant. She was puzzled over why the director would seek her opinion. She wondered if he knew her."How do you think Lila should react here?" Dylan asked again.Gabriella took a moment to think.She said, "I haven't read the script, so I don't know the overall plot. But from an audience standpoint, if Lila starts off as purely pragmatic, it might undermine the significance of her character setup, making her blend in with the other villains. I think viewers would prefer seeing a kind person compelled to take a darker path due to life's pressures. This way, Lila's character would be more layered and relatable."Characters forced into villainous roles often evoke more sympathy and empathy, showcasing the actor's skills.In the past, there had been successful instances in film and TV whe

    Ethan thought she was drunk.He barely had time to react as Gabriella swiftly raised her hand.A hissing sound echoed in the room."Ah!" Ethan covered his eyes and screamed in pain.The burning sensation from the pepper spray caused him to shed tears, and everything before him turned pitch black."You bitch!"He closed his eyes and acted in madness. His hands were guided by memory. He tried to grip Gabriella's neck but only reached her shoulders.Gabriella struggled to dodge. She swung a bottle at Ethan's head.With a resounding crack, the glass bottle shattered into pieces. Liquid splattered everywhere. A crimson stream trickled down Ethan's head as he lost consciousness while clutching his throbbing skull.Gabriella spotted him motionless on the bed. She stood up and gave him a kick. When there was no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief.Gabriella knew that Hannah had made her her assistant just to give her a hard time.Gabriella had sensed that when Hannah had invited

    After the call ended, Hannah dialed another number. "How is it? Did you send your people to the location? If Gabriella gets a hold of Garrick, we'll …"The man on the other end of the phone replied, "They went there already. Also, Garrick's current whereabouts are unknown."Hannah relaxed a little, and a trace of determination flashed across her eyes. She said, "If I had known that Gabriella could dig up a case from ten years ago, I should've …"She should've gotten rid of her as well.The man on the phone was silent.Hannah laughed mockingly. "You probably never thought that this day would come when your family decided to adopt her, right?"Oliver said, "I was the one who gave Grandpa the idea to adopt her."Albert had initially only wanted to fund Gabriella's studies.It was ultimately Oliver who suggested that they welcome Gabriella into the Toussaint family by adopting her.Albert had held Hiram in high regard.

    Gabriella stared at them in shock. Then, a cold smile formed on her lips. It's of no surprise that Hannah could afford to be selective. As it turns out, Henry had been helping her!Gabriella knew it. Henry had loved Hannah for so long. He had only broken up with Hannah at that time because of Albert's death.Gabriella looked mockingly at Henry.Although Henry obviously has feelings for Hannah, he kept denying it. He even claimed that he loved Gabriella and asked her to give him another chance. It was such a joke. Gabriella wondered if Henry found it fun to toy with her feelings.It hadn't even been that long since Albert's death. Yet, Henry softened and got back together with Hannah.Gabriella glanced at Hannah, who was beside Henry. She wore a light pink bodycon dress. She held onto Henry's arm elegantly as she chatted away with a smile.If she didn't know what type of person Hannah was, Gabriella would've fallen for her tricks too.At first, Gabriella thought Hannah hated he

Chandler managed to restore order, and the party returned to its original state.Henry excused himself from the people beside him and left the venue too.After Gabriella provided evidence and testified, she exited the interrogation room. It was already 10:00 pm.She walked towards the hall where Colene had been waiting. She said, "Let's go."Colene kept her phone and asked, "There's nothing else?""Nope. The rest would be settled in the courtroom."Colene learned about that afternoon's incident. She said angrily, "Hannah really is disgusting. I'm telling you, don't ever soften. You have to refuse anyone who asks you to negotiate. Let her rot in jail!"Colene was hinting at someone.Gabriella smiled as she said, "I know.

    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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.
