Henry stared at Gabriella for a while before laughing. "Gabriella, this is not funny at all. Even if you have some beef with Imogen, you shouldn't joke about that."

No wonder Imogen would say that. However, even if she didn't reveal that beforehand, he wouldn't believe it either.

Imogen had worked at Toussaint Holdings for many years. Henry had witnessed her personality and performance at work. Besides, she had a boyfriend of many years, so how would she like him?

Gabriella stayed silent. If Henry didn't believe her words, why did he ask her out of fake concern? She hadn't forgotten that Henry was brilliant at faking his act, so she wouldn't take his "concern" seriously.

Before noon time, Gabriella received a message from Henry, which said, "Come to my office for lunch. I ordered a set for you."

Gabriella typed a few words. "I'll eat in the canteen."

Her finger hovered over the "send" button and didn't press it for a long time. After a few seconds, she deleted the sentence and re

    Gabriella stiffened and met Henry's gaze wordlessly. She smiled at Aster. "Grandma, I forgot to wear it. I'll bring it for you next time."Megan said, "Is it Heart of the Sea from the Aurora Charity Banquet? I've heard of it, but I didn't attend that night because I had something going on. I never thought that Ry would bid for it and gift it to Gabby. Gabby, you must let me see the sapphire for myself!"Gabriella could still fumble her way past Aster, but now that Megan spoke up, this was a tricky situation.Gabriella said, "Oliver, this is on you. How could you let Megan miss out on such a gem? Oliver, you should get Megan a piece as well. I heard that the original sapphire that Heart of the Sea was made of was quite big. They should have made quite a lot of bracelets from it. This bracelet is just the owner testing the market.""Really?" Megan's attention was successfully diverted."Of course." Gabriella nodded.Megan turned to look at Oliver. He smiled helplessly and said, "Al

    Henry was stunned."Gabriella," he softly called out.But Gabriella didn't respond, merely turning away and continuing to sleep. Did she do it again? Was she playing with his emotions once more?Not long after, Henry heard her steady breathing beside him. He fell silent.Lying next to her, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep. At that moment, he felt like an innocent girl who's been exploited for nothing. And the person beside him was the scumbag who, after doing the deed, feigned indifference as if nothing ever happened.…MQ brand's new high-end clothing had already entered its publicity phase.

    Hannah gazed at Gabriella with anticipation.Gabriella's already strong disgust for Hannah deepened when she heard Henry's words, nearly making her feel nauseated.Gabriella couldn't help but recall his claim that Hannah was kind and tried to make amends. Gabriella found that assertion somewhat absurd, as characterizing Hannah as "kind" seemed like an affront to the very word.Noticing Gabriella's silence, Hannah continued, "Gabby, I know you're still upset with me ... If you don't want it, just give it back to me. I'll throw it away." With these words, she attempted to take the paper bag from Gabriella's hand."Alright, I'll take it. You can go ahead for your rehearsal," Gabriella responded calmly. She was aware of the presence of not only Henry but also other staff and surveillance cameras nearby. Refusing to accept it might easily escalate into a problematic situation. After all, there was always a risk of surveillance footage being posted online the next day, accusing her of

    The host announced excitedly, "We're really lucky today. We drew Mr. Henry in just one draw. Please welcome him to the stage."The media captured the moment with their camera, and flashlights kept flashing.At that moment, the live comments exploded with reactions. A comment from a viewer added, "Seems staged."Another said, "Is this all planned?"A third viewer chimed in, "At least we've got an interesting show to watch."Henry stood up and went on stage."Before the interactive session begins, let's first have a brief interview. Mr. Toussaint. Do you know what the first interactive game tonight is?""I don't know." Henry shook his head. He genuinely had no prior knowledge of the game.The Toussaint Holdings had diverse interests in various industries with many subsidiary brands. Henry often participated in such events and was used to it. He usually delivered a speech on stage and then left without inquiring about the event's programs."Then, you should know that you'll be

    "Fuck! Are they going to create a scene?" someone from the viewer remarked.The camera focused on Henry's face. It captured his calm demeanor and the deep, inscrutable look in his eyes.Amidst the watchful crowd, he stepped onto the stage and stood beside Hannah. He was noticeably a head taller than her, even when she was wearing high heels.At that moment, the media furiously snapped pictures of the pair. The director, too, kept the camera focused on them. Occasionally, the director directed the camera toward Gabriella, who was seated in the audience.With a cheerful smile, the host asked, "Now, I need to ask a question on behalf of our audience, Ms. Hannah. You mentioned earlier that you first met Ms. Carrington when she was 16. Can you tell us where the two of you first met?"This question was received through her earpiece.Hannah pursed her lips and exchanged a glance with Henry in response to the question.The host continued, "Since Ms. Hannah is unwilling to answer, she ca

    Could Hannah's so-called illness be connected to all of this?"I can't get over it. I can't get over it." With heart-wrenching tears, Hannah cried. "Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered the scene back then. I couldn't forget it. I was calling your name, hoping you would come and save me ..."Henry remained silent.At that moment, Gabriella, standing in the corner, didn't approach them.Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and the car door muffled the crying.Gabriella, who had been blowing on her hands, stiffened slightly and glanced outside. A black Porsche Cayenne was driving out of the underground parking garage.Glancing at her phone screen, she let out a deep sigh and felt a sense of closure in her heart. She had already anticipated that Henry would yield to Hannah. After all, she had no hope for him. So, she didn't feel disappointed in her heart, but rather, let down and sad.It was as expected. Though she loved him, she dared not have any expectations anymore.In the

    "You did well at the press conference today," Henry praised through gritted teeth.Gabriella sat up straighter in her seat as she explained, "My apologies. It was all for the good of MQ. I thought it would be good to use the attention that the both of you already have to promote MQ.""What else do you have to apologize for?" Henry asked mildly."You're not the usual celebrity, so I shouldn't have arranged those games for you," Gabriella continued."What else?" What else was there?Gabriella racked her brains but could not think of anything else that she did wrong.In the end, she simply blinked as she watched Henry silently, hoping that he would tell her what she did wrong.Henry scoffed incredulously. "Why did you arrange a game between me and Hannah?""Did you not enjoy it?" Gabriella asked curiously.Henry's expression darkened. This wasn't a matter of whether or not he enjoyed it."The both of you have a lot of fans that ship you together. The both of you can only rise

    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! 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.
