Gabriella's mind buzzed. It took her a while to realize she'd been robbed. Her belly hurt, so she didn't dare move for some time. She couldn't allow anything to happen to her baby.

She clutched at her belly while waiting for the pain to recede. When it slowly faded, she struggled to her feet. Then, she stood there, feeling lost.

Should she give chase or ask for help? The robber had long since disappeared.

Suddenly, Gabriella didn't know what to do. She stumbled forward a few steps before realizing her phone and wallet had been in her bag. She was penniless now, and it seemed she couldn't head home.

Gabriella stopped. After a while, she remembered that she could go to the police station. She stopped a passerby and asked, "Mister, would you know where the closest police station is?"

"Oh, that's a long way away. You have to walk down this road and past three alleys. Then, you continue ahead before turning … You know what? You should just walk along this road and ask for directions as

    "Alright." Annabelle knew she'd persuaded Henry.Henry stepped out of the ward, feeling the cold air from the A/C blowing on his face. He headed to the stairwell and exhaled before calling Gabriella. He had to stay at the hospital tonight.Gabriella had rejected Hannah's calls to him asking for help, but could he blame her?No, he couldn't. Her intentions had been clear—she just didn't want him to be with Hannah on this day. It wasn't as if she'd known Hannah was in trouble.But could he blame Hannah? He couldn't, either. The fact that she'd called him while in such a dire situation proved how much she trusted him.Henry was the only one to blame for this. There was no denying his responsibility in the matter.He tried calling Gabriella. The first time, it went unanswered. The second time, the phone had been turned off. Henry took this to mean that she was mad at him and didn't want to answer his calls.After some thought, he sent her a text. "Hannah's badly injured, and she was

    Maverick hurriedly said, "Ry, Henry! Don't say that! You're my friend, of course!""Tell me the truth, then.""Before I do that, I have something to ask you.""Go ahead," Henry said."After you left yesterday, Gabriella said you two are married. Is that true?""Yes." Henry's voice was firm.Maverick was stunned. He didn't expect it to be true. "What the hell is going on? When did that happen? Why don't I know anything about it?""Three years ago.""T—Three years?" Maverick was in disbelief. They'd already been married for three years! How could this be? "Doesn't that mean that you're … having an affair?""Answer me first. Who sent you to look for me, and who told you about Hannah's injuries?" Henry asked."I'll tell you, but promise you won't let anyone else know about this. Hannah's the one who told me to look for you. She was afraid you wouldn't go to her and told me to exaggerate a little," Maverick said."Hannah?""Yeah.""You saw her after she was injured?""No, she

    "Maybe being back in the country isn't the best thing for you. It hasn't been that long since your return, yet you've already fallen sick a few times. The atmosphere abroad might suit you better," Henry said."No, that's not true. I returned for you, Ry. Please, don't do this," Hannah pleaded."Let's set this aside for now. Since you're not injured badly, I'm gonna leave now."Hannah didn't loosen her hold on him. She refused to let him go. But when she looked up and met his gaze, she trembled. She instinctively let go.Henry turned and left the ward. He drove to the company and made a beeline for Gabriella's office. It was empty, and the computer was off.He summoned one of MQ's employees and asked, "Where's Ms. Carrington?""I'm not sure. She didn't come into the office today. I think she's taken a sick day," the employee said."Okay." Henry then headed home."You're back, Mr. Toussaint," Maria said.As Henry made his way upstairs, he asked, "Where's Gabriella?""She's gone

    Henry tilted his head. His gaze was dark and unclear. He touched his bruised left cheek, saying, "Okay, I'll leave … I'll leave …"Gabriella stood there, momentarily stunned. She didn't intend to hit him, but she panicked and ended up slapping him. Henry stepped back, left the room, and walked away. Just as Taylor realized what happened, Henry was already at the elevator. She stood there, watching Henry walk away, and then looked back at Gabriella inside the room, feeling somewhat lost. When Mr. Henry left earlier, he looked upset.Seeing Gabriella's gaze, Taylor quickly explained, "Ms.Carrington, it was Mr. Henry who called and asked for the hotel address. He wanted me to knock on the door, and I couldn't refuse."Gabriella nodded faintly and sighed, saying, "I understand. You can go back and rest now.""Alright."After Taylor left, Gabriella closed the door but was no longer in the mood to watch the soap opera. It was clear that she didn't want to recall last night's

    Henry massaged his temples, recalling the argument he had with Gabriella over Hannah having her own makeup artist. Gabriella mentioned that Hannah's makeup and styling didn't meet the requirements at all, and she refused to budge, even threatening to end their collaboration. Back then, he didn't think Hannah would simply mention ending their collaboration. But later on, there were indeed issues with the makeup and styling. Based on recent events, Henry suddenly believed that what Gabriella said was true. Hannah had indeed made provocative statements about ending their collaboration.After the backup was complete, Jacob returned the phone.The phone's notification rang. Henry looked at the phone screen, opened the message, and saw it was from Hannah. "Ry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you. Can you please forgive me?"Hannah knew that Henry wouldn't pick up her calls, so she had been sending messages over the last few days, seeking his forgiveness. Just as Henry wa

    "Isn't Hannah hurt?" asked Gabriella. "I visited her on the day of the incident, and it's not serious." "Oh." So, why did Maverick act like Hannah was dying back then?"Since you're free today, want to come with me?" asked Hugo. "I don't think that's a good idea …" Henry will definitely be there, too. But Gabriella didn't want to see him. "Why not? The invitation stated you can bring a date. Mr. Henry is your brother, and she might be your future sister-in-law in the future. It makes sense for you to attend.""It's just like the press conference from last time. The more you avoid them, the more they make up stories. If you're confident, they won't dare to make up stories," said Hugo. Gabriella looked down and pursed her lips. Hugo looked at her and said, "I heard that Mr. Henry had spent a lot on Hannah's birthday party this time. They've hired a renowned international designer for the decorations, and the dresses are limited edition flown in. The birthday cake was

    "Ry, don't grip so hard," Hannah said.Without a word, Henry stared at a corner.The onlookers interpreted their interaction as flirting. After all, flirting while dancing did have a unique charm.Gabriella still remembered the day she danced with Henry. He had teased her, making her blush. It felt intimate, and it was romantic.If it weren't for Hannah's call, that night would have been harmonious.Unfortunately, there were no "ifs" in life. Hannah was the obstacle that they couldn't get rid of.As the first song ended, the guests at the party began pairing up to dance.Henry seemed distracted and let go of Hannah's hand, but she held on. "Ry, are we not continuing?"He replied, "I've done what I promised you."Upset, Hannah bit her lip, tugging on his sleeve.Henry glanced at her hand and said calmly, "There are many people here. I'm saving you from embarrassment. Don't ruin it yourself."Hearing that, she reluctantly let go of his sleeve."Hannah, you must have heard the

    Gabriella left room for imagination in her words.Henry must have promised her that he wouldn't divorce her. That was why Gabriella had come to Hannah's birthday party today and showed off.Hannah was so angry that her face twisted with rage. "How can you be so despicable, Gabriella? Ry doesn't like you at all. You should divorce him.""I just won't. What can you do about it?""You—""If that's all you want to talk to me about, I'll leave now.""How about we make a bet on whom Ry will choose in the end?""You're just using this to prove your existence. I'm not interested in playing along with you."With that, Gabriella turned and left.Suddenly, Hannah lunged at her from behind.Gabriella calmly steadied herself and evaded Hannah, making the latter miss her target and tumble down the stairs."Ahh!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Hannah rolled down the stairs."Hannah!" When Henry came through the emergency exit and saw the scene, he quickly picked up Hannah, who was lyi

    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!

    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.
