Gael frowned, “Yanni!”Yanni sneered. Then, she let the smile gradually fade. She looked at Gael as if she were staring at an unreasonable stranger. “Please call me Ms. Yanni or Dr. Yanni. You should also recognize your status, Mr. Gael. You’re merely a family member of a patient in Lockwood Hospital. You're not even an officially recognized one. The biological parents can treat you as a mere outsider.”Gael was provoked and blurted out, “Emilia is divorced.”There was a deathly silence in the office. After a moment, Yanni spoke softly, “In that case, I’m willing to support you. If we finalize the divorce this afternoon, not only will I support you, but I’ll also agree to take on Ansley's case.”Gael was unwilling to accept. He was indeed concerned about Emilia and Ansley, but he wasn’t willing to end his marriage over them. He was also unsure whether Yanni might use her position to retaliate after the divorce.It was possible that Yanni would ruin Gael's reputation and the stoc
Emilia’s face was filled with genuine sincerity. How could Gael resist such a display?Gael gently embraced Emilia’s shoulders, trying to offer comfort. However, she continued to cry uncontrollably. Ansley clung to his leg, calling him "Uncle Gael" in a soft voice. At this moment, Gael felt a surge of resentment towards Yanni. He felt she was heartless and unfeeling. How could a doctor refuse to save a child?Gael’s voice was hoarse as he said, “She demands a divorce before she will treat Ansley.”Emilia was momentarily stunned. Then, she couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy. She had thought that someone like Gael would be fiercely clung to by Yanni. To her surprise, Yanni was willing to consider divorce. Emilia quickly composed herself and cautiously proposed to Gael: “Gael. Why don’t you arrange a fake divorce with Ms. Yanni? Why don't you do it for Ansley's sake? "Once Ansley's illness is treated, you can win Ms. Yanni back. I’m sure if you show sincere remor
Yanni drove her car into the parking lot of a supermarket.GM is a global chain of offline stores, holding a 16% market share in Asia. It's said that the owner behind the scenes is a local man. So, this 2.1 million-square-foot store is considered the flagship location.Yanni got out of the car. She intended to buy a small cake. On the second floor, she looked at the beautiful and delicate cakes displayed in the glass case when she heard a deep male voice."You're still the same as in high school, liking mousse cake." That voice was deep and pleasant. It also carried a hint of amusement.Yanni couldn’t help but look up. Then, she saw a rather dazzling man. The man wore a casual suit that hung naturally on his tall and upright frame. He effortlessly exuded an unmistakable air of mature elegance. It only took one glance for him to radiate the vibe of a complete professional.The man was very outstanding. Yanni wouldn’t have forgotten someone like him normally, but she simply didn’t
It was his legal wife—Yanni.A series of camera clicks echoed. Yanni stood there with the phone in hand, and her expression was cold as she stared at Gael and Emilia. Panic flashed across his face as he quickly pulled his hand away from Emilia’s grasp and walked toward Yanni. His gaze was intense as he looked at Yanni. “It’s not what you think.”Yanni sneered, “Oh? What is it, then? Is it that you’re so incapable of taking care of yourself that Ms. Emilia has to be hired to serve you?”Gael frowned, “There’s no need for such harshness, Yanni.”Emilia quickly stepped in to block him. “Don’t blame Dr. Yanni for misunderstanding, Gael. It’s my fault for carelessly holding your arm and causing this. If anyone’s to blame, blame me!”Emilia bit her lip and slapped herself hard across the face in an exaggerated manner. A red mark appeared on her cheek, and just looking at it was enough to make anyone uncomfortable. Then, Emilia turned her pitiful gaze to Yanni and pleaded, “Please do
After Gael asked, Yanni glanced at Keaton. She deliberately used a mocking tone: “He’s whoever you think he is. What is it, Gael? Do I need to get your approval to make friends?”Gael was infuriated. “Don’t go too far, Yanni! We’re still legally married, so don’t think you can have your cake and eat it too.”Yanni dismissed him with a wave. “You’re aware of your behavior, aren’t you? Gael, if you handled the divorce cleanly and then took care of Ms. Emilia and Ansley, I might think better of you. However, the way you’re acting now is just pathetic.”Gael’s gaze was icy. Yanni lightly raised her phone. “Remember to meet my lawyer tomorrow.”With that, she turned to leave, with Keaton accompanying her. Before they departed, he cast a cryptic glance at Gael, with a hint of inscrutable meaning.Keaton loved Yanni.In reality, Gael knew well that with Yanni’s character and busy schedule, she wouldn’t have an affair. However, Keaton was too dazzling and too impressive. He was certain t
Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the
Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”
Mason went back to Brookesville three days later. It was already evening when the black RV rolled into the villa and the chauffeur killed its engine. Then, he opened the car door for his master.Mason got out of the car. He saw that the chauffeur was about to take his luggage and said, “I can do it myself.”The servants rushed at him as soon as he entered the living room. “Something happened to your father-in-law a few days ago, Mr. Mason. Ms. Zoe is in a bad mood. She’s upstairs now!”He knew what had happened to the Sanders family. Irritated, he took his luggage upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Zoe was tidying up the dresser. He put down his luggage, loosened his tie, and studied her. Zoe had loved doing the house chores, cleaning up, and making snacks ever since they had gotten married. If it had not been for her outstanding looks and graceful physique, she would have been no different from a nanny.Zoe did not say a word for a long time. Mason was quite worn out from the
