Chapter 1307

Author: Light Breeze
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

    Bright Villa was lively and bustling during the New Year. Keaton’s parents were also spending it in Brookesville, planning to return to their hometown after the wedding of Keaton and Yanni. 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

    In his hazy state, Gael seemed to hear Yanni calling him. “Wake up, Gael. I’ll go to the bathroom and get you a warm towel. It’ll feel better after you wipe your face.“Why are you so happy? You’ve never been this joyful even when the company is profitable. Are you this happy about marrying me, Gael?”…Gael frowned tightly. It turned out to be their wedding night when Yanni had been so gentle, affectionate, and attentive to him. Now, however, her tenderness and care were given to another man—Keaton. “Yanni… Yanni…” The night wind howled as Gael downed another glass of the strongest liquor. He leaned heavily against the car, needing all his strength to hold himself up and prevent collapsing helplessly onto the ground. Gael's phone in the coat pocket kept ringing. Emilia was calling him, but he had no intention of answering. Tonight was New Year’s Eve, and she was probably trying to mend their relationship. However, Gael didn’t want that. Once, he had regarded Emilia

    Carter could only imagine how much Gael hated Emilia, and he felt the same resentment. A wisp of pale blue smoke was scattered by the night wind. Carter glanced at Gael, who looked distinguished, with deep-set eyes, and softly pleaded, “Emilia drove out an hour ago. Ansley is still at the villa. It’s New Year’s Eve, and now it’s the first day of the New Year."I just want to see my daughter, Mr. Gael. I won’t stay long, just a quick look.” As he spoke, Carter's eyes reddened.Carter cautiously pulled out a plush toy from his jacket, and Gael recognized the brand. Yanni had bought one before, and even an eight-inch one cost over 200 dollars. For someone like Carter, who was financially strapped, this toy represented all his paternal love. Gael didn't dwell on the fact that Emilia was fooling around with other men. In truth, he didn't care. All he wanted was to get Emilia behind bars, and that all depended on Carter. Gael finished his cigarette, and his expression remained

    Gael stayed up all night on New Year's Eve. He kept watch over Ansley. When the little girl woke up on New Year's Day, the first thing she saw was a fluffy teddy bear beside her pillow. It was her favorite toy, which she had mentioned to her dad several times. Ansley picked it up and hugged it tightly. She was unwilling to let go. Her dad had been there. After a while, she noticed Gael sitting by the bed. His eyes were reddened as if he hadn't slept all night. On top of that, his hair was messy, making him look disheveled and exhausted. Ansley held her beloved toy and called out softly, "Uncle Gael." Ansley felt deeply sorry for him. After all, it was Gael who had covered her surgery expenses, and it was his place she was living in now. Even so, she still wanted to be with her dad.Gael's voice was slightly hoarse as he responded, "Yeah."Gael looked at Ansley's teary eyes. After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a bank card from his pocket and placed it in her small h

    Maisy the servant responded eagerly from downstairs. Once Emilia had walked away, however, she muttered under her breath, “Scalded her tongue... My ass. She's out there fooling around all day long, and yet she doesn't know how to cover her tracks afterward. "Emilia acts like she's worried people won’t find out she’s sneaking around with men.” A nearby maid who was busy cleaning chuckled in response.Maisy leaned in and whispered to her, “Don’t be fooled by how smug she is now. Her days are numbered. Sooner or later, Mr. Gael will throw her aside. With that said, Mr. Gael truly loves Ansley.” The maid nodded repeatedly in agreement. Everyone understood it perfectly. Everyone, except Emilia.…In the master bedroom, Emilia sat at the vanity. She was wrapped in a snow-white bathrobe. Her body was soft and fragrant as she applied the most expensive skincare products. Nearby, a small gilded cart held a bowl of freshly made herbal soup. It was still emitting steam. After Emilia

    Gael was on the phone when Emilia barged into the director's office. He glanced up at her with cold indifference. Grace felt a twinge of sadness. When Emilia first arrived in Brookesville, Gael had acted like a chivalrous protector. Now, he no longer cherished it at all after he obtained what he wanted. On the surface, it seemed like Emilia was still married to Gael. She deceived Gael and she didn't love him from the bottom of his heart.If Gael truly loved Emilia, he would be able to tolerate everything, no matter how scummy or rotten that woman might be. Grace looked awkwardly between them. "I told you that Mr. Gael is on an important call, Ms. Emilia." Emilia scoffed. "I'm Gael's wife." After exchanging a few words with the person on the other end, Gael hung up the phone. He then motioned for Grace to step out before finally turning his attention to Emilia.Emilia used to be the woman Gael loved but could never have obtained. He smirked as he pulled out a pure white

    Finally, Gael said softly, "Karma bit each of us in the back, Emilia." "Karma?" Emilia laughed through her tears. "Yes! You're right, it is karma!" She was a smart woman and quickly understood everything. She realized that Gael was connected to Carter. That spineless man suddenly dared to sue her, which must have been due to Gael's support. However, Emilia realized this too late. In the end, former lovers turned into enemies, leaving only one line. "Gael, you bastard!"…Gael also started to laugh with tears streaming down his face. He was still holding the cigarette, and he trembled as he countered, “Am I the bastard? Have I not given enough? "My marriage has collapsed, and I have no home left. I've lost Yanni. Is that not enough? Tell me, Emilia. What have you given back to me? Is it the fact that you cheated on me?”Emilia couldn't find an answer. “Get out!” Gael shouted and swept all the documents off his desk and onto the floor. “Get out, Emilia! The game is

    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.

    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

    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
