I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1302
Denise didn’t want to return to the hotel. She drove to a bar. She wanted to get drunk so she could temporarily forget Keaton. She didn’t want to think about that heartless man, at least for tonight. He had been too cruel to her. That was right. Keaton was too heartless.Denise ordered the strongest drink. After just one sip, she already felt tipsy. Her body was numbed, but her heart was even more bitter. In her blurred vision, she seemed to see Keaton. However, the man didn’t quite seem like him.It was a very handsome man, even younger than Keaton. He wore a white shirt and thin gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite refined.Denise stared blankly as the man sat down. She couldn’t tear her eyes away. She couldn’t believe that there could be someone in this world who looked so similar, even down to the same aura. A wild thought surged within her.Craig was a business elite, and he naturally carried a certain poise when frequenting bars and clubs. He held a glass of whiskey as he sa

Keaton was on the other end of the phone.As night fell, a luxury black sports car parked in the hotel parking lot. Keaton was sitting inside it, gripping his phone as he stared in the direction of the hotel room. A fierce look was hidden in his dark eyes. Denise had taken the bait. All Craig needed to do now was keep appearing, leaving the bait out. He was confident that she would fall for it. Keaton didn’t want Denise’s mere possessions. Instead, he wanted her life in order to comfort the spirit of his deceased brother—Callan.As Craig passed by the car, he spotted Keaton, who was the financial backer. However, he didn’t get in. He simply nodded slightly. Their eyes met, and they shared an unspoken understanding.After Craig left, Keaton sat in the car and smoked a cigarette. The light smoke was carried away by the cold wind, and Keaton's handsome face gradually came into focus. With that said, the malice in his eyes only deepened and refused to dissipate. At that moment,

Craig looked at Denise, his brow slightly furrowed. "Have we met before, miss?" Denise felt a bit annoyed but suppressed it. "We met at the bar a few days ago." "Oh, I remember now." Craig took a glass of champagne from a server, and a hint of interest appeared in his gaze. "I recall that we indeed met a few nights ago and had a very pleasant time." Craig chuckled lightly. "Your acting skills are quite impressive." This was a jab at her televised performance mourning her deceased husband. Denise caught the sarcasm but didn't mind. She was currently only interested in Craig's investment methods. Denise had some funds available, and if Craig really had the ability, he could serve as a valuable resource. She made a gesture. "Can we talk privately?" Craig readily agreed. So, the two of them left the venue early and went to a café downstairs for a detailed discussion. Craig displayed quite a bit of charm as he took the initiative to order coffee. During their conversatio

Denise felt a surge of joy in her heart. She turned and nestled against Craig's chest, holding his face and kissing him. "Then, show me what you can do, and let me see it well." Craig turned to extinguish his cigarette and once again had sex with Denise passionately. He indulged in it until they were thoroughly satisfied. Craig was truly capable. Within half a month, the 20 million dollars that Denise entrusted to him had doubled, and the numbers in her account rolled over to 40 million dollars. This made Denise's eyes shine with excitement as she devoted herself to serving Craig every night. She was eager to become rich. The market was indeed booming before the New Year, and it was a bull market. Denise's account balance had already surged to 80 million dollars, nearing 100 million dollars. She witnessed Craig's capabilities and became even more convinced of him. With their personal connection and mutual benefits, she was always the first to reap the rewards. That night,

Denise couldn’t find Craig anywhere. It was as if he had never existed in this world. Even the address on the business card he gave her led to nowhere. Even someone as naive as Denise realized she had been duped. From the very beginning, Craig had approached her with ulterior motives. He used his charm to gain her trust and sweetened the deal to reel her in. It was laughable how Denise had believed Craig and had countless sex with a con artist. She had risked everything she had for him. She even dreamed of a lifelong commitment with someone like him.How ridiculous she was!As the year drew to a close, the bank began to pressure Denise for repayment. She tried to negotiate, but her reputation meant little against the new bank president, who was incorruptible and abstained from all temptations. With no other options left, Denise reluctantly sought help from Keaton.Since Keaton's main company was not based in the country, he didn't have a fixed office in Brookesville, making it

Denise collapsed on the bathroom tiles, tears streaming down her face. She had thought about suicide, but she was afraid of the pain. She thought of Craig, wondering if maybe he didn’t mean it. However, she cursed under her breath after calling his phone a dozen times and still finding it turned off.“Craig, that bastard. All men are scum.”...Denise had drunk too much. She burned the copy of the guarantee agreement with tear-filled eyes. As she wept, she looked into the void and said, “I misjudged you, Craig. Rot in hell.”Denise covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably, tears spilling from between her fingers. Then, she thought about going to find Keaton.Denise put on her finest clothes and used what little money she had left to take a cab to Keaton’s house. However, the security guards and the servants stopped her, telling her that he didn’t welcome her and that the Bright family had no place for someone like her.Denise couldn't bear the blow. She gripped the black, car

Blood pooled around Denise, staining the dark and iron tracks. Denise’s body was still warm, but her gaze was slowly fading. A few scattered snowflakes landed on her long eyelashes, and she felt so icy, so cold. Denise could no longer see Keaton, even though he was just a breath away. She had chased after him her entire life, even marrying a man she didn’t love just to be a little closer to him. However, Keaton had left her no way out at all in the end.Craig and Keaton. How foolish she had been. She had actually gone to seek out Craig, and she had dared to fantasize about Keaton wanting her back. However, Keaton wouldn’t want her back. He would rather see her dead.Voices began to emerge in the distance, along with the sound of an ambulance. However, she would not wait any longer. In the final moments of her life, Denise experienced a vision. She saw Callan walking toward her in the white suit he wore on their wedding day. His face still bore that gentle and refined smi

They were also together with Ella to celebrate a warm New Year together. Gustavo and Susan had seen the news and were aware that Denise died. She even offered a silent prayer to her. However, Gustavo and her didn’t ask about it when Keaton returned. They simply assumed it was heaven's way of taking Denise away.They didn’t bring up Denise during the reunion dinner, fearing Ella might find out. As night fell, the little girl suddenly asked about Denise, wondering how she would celebrate the New Year. Susan looked at Ella and couldn't respond. Then, Yanni came over and hugged the little girl, telling her, "She went abroad! They don’t celebrate the New Year there. They celebrate their own holidays." Ella nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Yanni thought to herself that Keaton might tell

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.

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
