Chapter 393 In Custody

Author: Nebulae
Unexpectedly, it was Jacob who answered the call. "Sorry, Ms. Carrington, Mr. Henry's tied up in a meeting. If you have anything, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on to Mr. Henry after the meeting."

"I … it's nothing urgent. Let Henry do his thing. I'll hang up."

The faint beep of the call ending was accompanied by Jacob looking at Henry behind the desk.

"What did she say?" Henry asked, lowering his gaze.

"Ms. Carrington didn't say anything. She just asked you to continue with your work," Jacob said, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Henry pursed his lips, figuring she was probably scared of being alone at home. He picked up his phone and dialed Maria's number.

Hanging up, Gabriella let out a sigh. She almost overlooked the fact that Henry held the position of chairman at Toussaint Holdings. With his hands full of business matters, he couldn't revolve around her all the time.

As thoughts of work surfaced, Gabriella recalled she had a few photos waiting for edits. Retrieving her l

    "I reported it." The bystander voluntarily stepped forth and said, "They were impersonating the police …" "Impersonating your ass!"The older police officer got up from the ground and cuffed the burly man, unable to hold back his curses.Then, he took out his police badge. "We are from Bluebay District, here on a mission. The suspect is too cunning, and some people …"He deliberately glanced at the bystander before continuing, "Some people were bothersome, which caused the suspect to escape. We need to track her down immediately."The newly arrived chief police officer looked at the credentials presented to him and then said to the bystander, "His credentials are fine. Anything else?"The bystander was stunned. "They are … fine?"The police officers no longer entertained him. "The suspect hasn't gone far. Please assist us.""Okay."After that, several police officers hurried toward the direction Yasmine had fled.Before leaving, the young police officer sniped at the bystan

    After leaving the police station, Gabriella received a call from Toussaint Residence.Aster's voice was filled with concern as she said, "Gabby? Why didn't you tell me what happened two days ago? I just found out that you almost didn't make it back! Have we grown distant?" Gabriella quickly replied, "No, Grandma, how could that be? I just didn't want you to worry. Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?""Oh, I'm not as fragile as you all think. Your brother's matters were kept from me, and now yours too. I'm getting left out by everyone!""You're not, Grandma. It's my fault this time. If anything happens in the future, I'll tell you before anyone else.""You're just saying that to make me happy. Oh ... Earlier, someone from the Caddel family called, saying they'll come to apologize tomorrow. That's how I just found out that you were almost trafficked. So, Arthur's second wife is your mother, and the person who tried to traffick you is your cousin? How wicked. I wanted to ask for your opin

    In the evening, Shawn returned home for dinner.There were four hush puppies on a plate on the table. Thinking that the housekeeper made them, he casually picked one up with a fork, gobbled it up, and grabbed another one."These hush puppies are pretty good."Meredith wore a proud smile on her face."They're nice, huh?" she asked."Mhm. Did you make them, Mom?""No, one of our tenants made them. If you like them, I'll ask her to make you more some other time.""It's fine," Shawn uttered a refusal. He might have liked the food, but it wasn't to the point where he wanted to trouble the tenant."No need to hold back. It's not like I forced her to make these. She's a great girl. She's always so enthusiastic when she sees me. She was the one who gave us the sweet potatoes the other day."It would be great if I had a daughter like her."Those words put a frown on Shawn's face.That tenant must be getting impatient, and she was deliberately trying to suck up to Meredith after knowi

    "Ms. Carrington?"After the call was connected, Jacob asked, "Is there something you need from me?"Gabriella replied, "I'm here for Henry. Please come down to get me."Jacob said, "Oh … Mr. Henry is currently not in the company, Ms. Carrington. Do you … want to come over another day instead?"A hint of surprise flashed in Gabriella's eyes.The receptionist had just said that Henry was in the company."If that was the case … I don't have the time to come again since I'm busy over the next two days. I brought something for him, you can come and get it from me to pass it to him," Gabriella said.Jacob replied, "... Alright. Please wait for me."After about five minutes, Jacob walked out of the elevator and looked around.He then walked toward Gabriella and asked, "What do you want me to pass to Mr. Henry, Ms. Carrington?""This," Gabriella said as she pointed at her chest."What?""It's me."Jacob was speechless.Gabriella said, "Bring me up.

    Henry raised his brow as if he had just heard a joke.He said, "Lying to you? Why would I lie to you? What good would it do for me to lie to you? You really think you're all important now, Gabriella?"Gabriella asked, "... Are you compelled to do that for some reason?"Henry replied, "What reasons could I possibly have? Are you still in denial of the fact that I never liked you, Gabriella?"I did not like you when you first arrived at the Toussaint Residence. I did not like you when we got married. So what makes you think that I would like you now?"Gabriella shook her head as if eagerly trying to prove something.She said, "You started following me from the time I went to travel after we divorced. You helped me find my wallet back, and in Aupuernea you even …"Henry interrupted her words with a laugh before saying, "The bet had already started since then. You hated me so much then and drove me away countless times."I would've stayed away from you if I really liked you, and no

    Gabriella sat on the steps by the fence and watched the rippling river absentmindedly. Her tears fell involuntarily.Henry had dealt her an unexpected blow. She felt her heart shattering painfully.Never had she thought it would be like this … A bet, how laughable …Henry was right. He did not like her when she first arrived at the Toussaint Residence. He did not like her when they got married. So what made her think that he would like her now?It was just her wishful thinking.She was wishing for something that did not belong to her.She did not know her place after all.How could Henry even like her?Gabriella could still remember Henry's scrutinizing gaze when she first arrived at the Toussaint Residence.

    "What are you trying to say, Mr. Dylan?""I want to invite you to audition for the role of Lila. Even though it's an audition, I have high hopes for you," Dylan said with a beaming smile.He was quite curious. If one were to say Gabriella might step into the entertainment scene—aside from playing Camila—there was no news of her auditioning for other roles or appearing in variety shows.But then again, if she was truly avoiding the limelight, there was that standout performance as Camila."I appreciate the offer, Mr. Dylan, but I'm afraid I'll have to turn it down," Gabriella politely declined. "Acting isn't really my thing. Taking on Camila was more of a last-minute rescue.""And here I thought you could rescue me too," Dylan said.Gabriella smiled awkwardly. "Very funny, Mr. Dylan."Dominic was in a tight spot at the time. They were already in the middle of filming and urgently needed a replacement for Camila.

    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!

    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

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.
