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

Yanni looked at Gael as if he were insane. "Are you so eager to share a bed with Emilia?" Gael gritted his teeth, "I saw Keaton drop you off." "So, what if he did? Is it against the law? If you can’t get it through your head, Gael, let me say it again. We’re divorced… Divorced, understand? It means there are no more legal bindings. "Let’s maintain some dignity, at least."…Gael stared at her. He had been speaking for a while because he wanted Yanni to give him an explanation and deny any involvement with Keaton or any other man. However, Yanni’s tone was only impatient. She didn’t even want to spin a lie for his sake.Gael gave a bitter smile and said, "I get it, Yanni. I don’t actually care that much about you. It’s just that it’s so sudden. You’ve moved on to someone else so quickly. It seems like you really have no feelings left at all." Yanni really wanted Gael to see a psychiatrist. His gaze dropped slightly, landing on Yanni’s delicate and pale fingers. "You’ve ev

After it was over, Gael showed no intention of continuing. He turned over and got out of bed before going into the bathroom. Emilia turned over on the bed and wrapped herself in a thin blanket. Her nose was still damp with sweat, and her body retained some warmth. However, none of it could make Gael stay.Emilia couldn’t help but wonder if her body had changed after childbirth, which might be why Gael lost interest. She felt a pang of resentment. Gael had fallen head over heels for her in the past. After a while, the bathroom door opened. Gael emerged, and his body was covered in water droplets. Over the years, Gael’s quality of life had been excellent, and his physique was well-maintained. It hadn't changed from the past. Emilia was determined to win Gael over. She wrapped herself in a bedsheet before she got out of bed. She grabbed a towel to dry him off, hoping for another moment of intimacy. However, Gael brushed her aside. He put on his pants and spoke calmly, “There’s

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1458
Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
