Chapter 421 She Despises Third Parties

Author: Nebulae
Bella was curious.

"Wasn't it just an accident? What discovery could there be?"

"I'm not sure. Typically, after we settle an issue, the police wouldn't continue the investigation. Maybe Mr. Carber's people found something while looking for him?"

"Well, it shouldn't be. I did think of having my dad help. But before he could do anything, the car owner had already been taken to the police station."

"I see. I'll go check it out first, then."

Gabriella stood up and said, "You guys have fun. I'll be leaving now. Let's meet up another day."

"Okay."

Gabriella left the private room with her bag and headed toward the elevator. As she turned the corner, her footsteps halted. A woman was tightly hugging a man from behind in front of the restroom door.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and a light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The woman had wavy hair and wore a long, designer skirt.

From the side, she looked somewhat familiar. She looked like Alicia, whom Gabriella

The people in Stalar Village knew that Carmila, Zain's daughter, had found a wealthy boyfriend in the city.Her boyfriend was said to be generous. Carmila had been buying appliances and a car for the family and supporting her siblings' school transfers.There had been rumors that Zain's family planned to buy a house in the city after Carmila married.

    Kayce started to overthink because of what Carmila said.He didn't want Shawn to overthink too and ruin his impression of the Sandersons, so he immediately changed the topic.But Shawn did overthink it. The only way a young female university student could earn so much money in such a short time was either through getting a sugar daddy or by selling her body.In extremely rare cases, fresh graduates from highly prestigious universities would obtain a high enough salary to earn 200 thousand dollars in a few months. But Carmila's cousin was clearly not one of them.That was her father, after all. She was willing to sacrifice herself for his health. She was an excellent daughter, but her circumstances were more than what she could handle. She had no other choice. Such was life for the common folk.That was why the matter didn't ruin Shawn's impression of Carmila's cousin. He was simply overwhelmed.He said, "Mila, let's visit Uncle Chris when we get back."Since the kidney transpl

    After what happened to Henry, Shawn pretended nothing happened and continued working as usual. He only needed to wait now.The secretary entered his office and said, "Mr. Shawn, the interview is about to start. HR told you to go there now." "Alright, I'll be there ASAP." Shawn nodded and set his work aside. He stood up and walked to the conference room.The R & D center would recruit interns from some universities in Florin during the summer of every year. Those who excelled could become permanent employees or attend grad school.In previous years, Layla would return to her hometown to get a tutoring job during winter and summer break.But her dad decided to stay in the city and work as a security guard to earn some money this year, so Layla didn't return to her hometown.She would become a senior university student after the summer break. She didn't have many subjects for her final year, and she didn't plan on pursuing a postgraduate course. That was why Layla started to look f

    Before their departure, Carmila called Chris and said she was going to visit him with her boyfriend.Chris took a day off and waited for them at home.When Carmila told Shawn the address, Shawn thought it sounded familiar. His family seemed to own a unit in that area, but they rented it out. He couldn't remember which building it was.After seeing that Shawn was handsome and hearing that he was also the manager of a big company, Chris was happy for Carmila.Shawn thought that Chris seemed to have recovered well since he was energetic.He smiled and said, "I heard Mila say you're still recuperating after your recent kidney transplant, so I wanted to visit you. "The director of First Aid Hospital is my grandpa's friend. Feel free to come to me if you need any help.""Thank you for your kindness, but I can't possibly impose on you. I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday. The doctor said I'm recovering well and told me to keep it up.""That's great news. I heard that Mila'

    But Gabriella couldn't forget about it.When she saw Gray standing up to leave the conference room, Gabriella said to the other two photographers, "You can head back first. I need something from Gray."As she spoke, she sped up and went after Gray. Gray turned to look at her. As he continued to walk forward, he asked, "Fay, can I help you?"Gabriella smiled. "Pardon me, but do you know why Ms. West came looking for the marketing director?"Gray looked at her. His gaze seemed to be insinuating something. "I know. The marketing director told me. He said Ms. West used her identity as one of the West family to threaten him to change the photographer."Gabriella's face paled. "Then, what did the marketing director say?""What did the director say? Well, of course, he ignored her! What does us choosing a photographer have anything to do with her? "No matter how huge the West family is, they have no right to poke their heads in our company's internal affairs. That is unless his fa

    He looked at Gabriella with a gaze filled with contempt. He thought it was very unfair for Henry. He didn't like Gabriella, but it wasn't like he wanted to force Henry to get with Hannah, either.He just didn't expect that after Henry chose Gabriella, Gabriella could still enjoy her vacation abroad when Henry had gotten into trouble. He also wondered if Henry would regret his decision when he found out about it.When Gabriella saw the expression on Maverick's face, she thought the situation was ridiculous. "What does Henry being in jail have anything to do with me? You're his best friend. You're acting all heroic and trying to stand up for him, but aren't you also picking up girls here?"Maverick's breath hitched. He continued, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Ry did so much for you, yet you're erasing all of it so easily?"I knew you were a cunning woman. Ry was a fool for falling for you."After having her feelings played by Henry and being yelled at by Henry

    Maverick said, "Exactly, they were acting."Gabriella sneered, "Maverick Hemingway, do you think I'm stupid? Tell me then, why were they acting?"Maverick explained, "Ry did this to cut ties with you and to keep you from being implicated. He expected today's situation and prepared in advance." Maverick was stunned when he learned the truth. Gabriella had truly bewitched Henry. He even had her in consideration for when this situation happened. Henry could face the problem alone and only hoped for her safety. However, Maverick could not bear to see him wronged and misunderstood by Gabriella. He had to tell Gabriella the truth.She would surely be deeply moved when she learned about Henry's feelings toward her!Gabriella paused and then burst into laughter. "What's so funny?" Maverick was puzzled by the unexpected reaction. Gabriella said, "I laughed because your story was so bad. Is that the best story you could come up with? Do you think I would fall for it?"

    Although doubt flickered in Gabriella's eyes, she shrugged it off and went straight to the magazine office. The magazine spread would feature Cameron's photos and include an interview and descriptions of the pictures. The illustrations had to complement the interview and be sufficiently expressive. Cameron's team had a specific theme in mind and had even brought a makeup artist. Cameron's manager, Casey Brown, was deeply concerned to learn that Gabriella was a young foreign woman. He was worried that she was an amateur who would screw up the shoot. Hence, he asked Selena if there were any other photographers available. Selena reassured him. She said, "Buddy, don't worry. Fay is an excellent photographer. Let her have a go first. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."However, Selena wasn't confident in Gabriella's skills either. Even though she had photographed people before, shooting regular individuals and celebrities required different skills and presentation styles. Neverthel

    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. They stood together and carried out the ceremony amidst their elders' blessings.Then, he helped her into the bridal chamber.Meanwhile, Gabriella, along with Megan and several close relatives, entertained the guests who were seeing off the bride.Everyone left for the hotel around 10:00 a.m.Although the wed

    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! She swore to take revenge on them!She would make sure Blake had them jailed and executed!Elaine's cries attracted several passersby.Seeing that the destroyed car was a Maserati, they realized they couldn't intervene.

    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. Her palms were sweating, and her heart was in her t
