A harsh screech of brakes echoed as the silver Cullinan skidded to a stop at the side of the road.When the car halted, Gael gripped his phone and turned to look at Yanni. His expression and gaze were icily cold, but his voice was unusually soft. "Yanni.. Ms. Yanni. Is this how you want to leave me? Are you so eager to ruin me and then move on to Keaton?"Yanni frowned, "What are you freaking out about now, Gael?"Gael gulped as he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Why did you release the video? I can give you whatever you want, Yanni. I can give you a faithful marriage, attentive companionship… Everything. Why did you have to put it out there? "Did you do it for Keaton? Have you fallen in love with him?" Video? Yanni looked down and gave a cold smile. “That video isn’t just in my possession, Gael. You must have a copy too. How can you be sure it didn’t leak from you? "Let me make it clear. I would never stoop to this level. With that said, you’ve exposed yourself to the public.
Gael pressed the button for the top floor and stared at the red numbers with a blank expression. After a moment, he asked softly, “What does the public relations department say? How do they plan to handle this situation?”Grace replied honestly, “The public relations department is in a tough spot. They’ve come up with one solution, and that's for you to announce that you and Ms. Yanni have reached a mutual divorce agreement. "This way, the issue can be shifted from a legal and ethical standpoint to a personal matter. The public will likely lose interest after a few days.”Gael was silent for a while before speaking hoarsely. “After all this time, this is the best they could come up with? I can’t make that announcement. I’m not going to divorce Yanni.”Grace could only agree, “Yes, Mr. Gael. After all, you still have feelings for your wife.” She added with frustration, “I really don’t know who did this! It’s so unethical.”Gael swallowed hard as the elevator doors opened. He left
Keaton wore a calm expression, but his gaze suddenly fell on Yanni's beautiful face and his voice tightened slightly, "What's wrong with your face?"Keaton had learned about the incident with Ressington Tech Co. He expressed his apologies to Yanni, saying that he shouldn't have given her that video, which provided an opportunity for others to take advantage. Judging by Keaton's words, he didn't suspect that Yanni was behind this incident at all. Instead, there was only regret and sympathy for the unfairness she had endured.Yanni was somewhat surprised that Keaton understood her. Her husband, Gael, whom she had been married to for seven years, immediately assumed she was responsible when things went wrong. Gael even slapped Yanni without a second thought! Reflecting on their marriage over the past seven or eight years, Yanni had always been content with a simple life. Meanwhile, Gael immersed himself in the pleasures and vices of the business world.Simply put, Gael was no longe
Gael left after he said what he said. He looked like a loser, dejected and disheveled. Despite this, he still didn’t want a divorce. He couldn’t bring himself to give up on his marriage with Yanni. He felt something was fundamentally wrong.After seven years of marriage, how could there be no feelings left? How did things come to this? Gael was unwilling to let go.Meanwhile, Yanni stood there while a mix of emotions overwhelmed her. No one could feel good about the marriage falling apart. At that moment, Ella gently leaned against her and softly called out, “Yanni.”Yanni slowly crouched down and embraced Ella. Her face was buried in the child’s soft belly. Something warm welled up in Yanni's eyes, but she couldn’t express the particular pain. She said nothing and merely held Ella close. Ella didn’t understand the adults’ issues and looked up at Keaton. He walked over and gently patted her head. He said nothing, but his gaze toward Yanni was full of tenderness. It looked like K
However, everything had come to an end.Gael remained silent for a moment before adding, “The video incident was caused by you and has caused immeasurable damage to Ressington Tech Co. Therefore, I won’t give you a single penny in the divorce settlement.”Yanni scoffed, “No one wants your money, except for Emilia.”Gael’s voice was hoarse as he replied, “Don’t defame a poor mother, Yanni. Emilia doesn’t have strong backing like you do. She only…”“Only have you left, right?”…Gael felt a deep sense of shame.Yanni didn’t linger on the matter. She only made one demand. “You must sign the divorce agreement first and have the lawyer handle the divorce certificate. Only then will I be able to assist with the public relations clarification.”Gael gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t push it too far, Yanni.”“Do as you wish. After all, I’m not the one facing bankruptcy.”“Fine.”They agreed to meet and sign the documents at Ressington Tech Co.After hanging up, Gael returned to th
Gael felt a deep sense of regret. He even considered tearing up the agreement. He wished that he and Yanni could remain married. However, those were just fleeting thoughts. He knew in his heart that their relationship had reached its end.Yanni didn’t want him anymore, which was why she had made the video public.Gael’s display of undying love was repulsive to Yanni. She stood up without a shred of nostalgia, “The divorce papers are signed. We can attend the press conference now.”Yanni's cold demeanor left Gael feeling chilled. However, Gael noticed a tear in the corner of her eye when Yanni announced at the press conference that they were no longer married. At that moment, Gael was overcome with regret. He oscillated between love and hate for Yanni, unable to discern his true feelings.…With this strong public relations effort, Ressington Tech Co.'s stock price stabilized.Yanni also received the divorce certificate. As she was leaving, Gael watched her figure and couldn’t h
A tall figure stood under the tree. His gaze was filled with tenderness as he looked at her. The man bent down gently to caress Yanni’s forehead and whispered her name: "Yanni."It was Keaton. Yanni’s eyes fluttered open slightly, and she looked at the man in front of her. She wondered how he had suddenly appeared in her life again as if he were everywhere. Yanni was drunk. People often speak more freely when they are in this state. She stared at Keaton with unclouded eyes, and her expression was devoid of any ambiguity. Yanni said bluntly, "I signed the papers with Gael. He asked me if I had slept with you. He also asked if you were better than him."Keaton felt a mix of frustration and amusement. There was an undeniable flutter of unease in his heart. He was a man. So, he couldn’t help but think about sex.Keaton gently caressed Yanni’s face. His voice was low and sensual as he spoke. “I’ll let you know in due time.” With that, he lifted her effortlessly and carried her toward
Yanni took the divorce certificate and stroked it gently over and over. She had endured a lot of pressure for it. Mason and Zoe hadn’t actually wanted to let Gael off the hook. Jamie even tried to beat him up, but she stopped him. She had long since stopped caring about the constant disappointment. Jamie said that they would treat Gael as if he were dead from here on out. Yanni thought he was right. The Lockwood family no longer needed to be entangled with Gael. Everyone had to move forward. If time and energy were spent on someone unworthy, how boring life would be? Keaton gave her a minute before taking the divorce certificate away."Hey, Keaton." Yanni couldn’t help but protest. She wasn’t as sharp as she was at the hospital during her private moments. Instead, there was an inexplicable dullness to her, which gave Keaton the illusion that she was still that high school girl. Seven years of marriage had tempered her mindset. Thankfully, Yanni was still Yanni. A whirlwi
