Gillian watched Augustus' driver and bodyguard help him alight the car. Upon seeing Augustus stand on his own, Gillian's eyes widened slightly. The cruel rumors that circulated in the city conveyed Augustus was an ugly and retarded handicap, but... Ever since Gillian came across Augustus, she realized that all the rumors were nonsense and that they were slandering Augustus. Upon seeing how tall Augustus was, Gillian couldn't help but bite her lower lip and blame the heavens for being unfair to a person like Augustus. He has everything; how could heaven be so cruel to take everything away from him? Gillian took a deep breath to calm her chaotic thoughts and then alighted the car. She gave Augustus an approving smile when she saw him patiently let himself be led to the mansion to get his health checked, and he also smiled in return. After alighting the car, Gillian met a fat maid in her fifties, tapping the floor impatiently, waiting for her. Seeing Gillian, the maid ga
‘Younger sister, how can you...’ The video that was being played on the lady's phone before Gillan stepped into the greenhouse was abruptly cut off. Hearing Willa's words that drifted from the phone speaker, the contempt in the greenhouse thickened. Gillian trembled, and her pale face became paler, understanding that the episode of her wedding had gone viral on social media. Even though she was never at fault, nobody will pay a mind to an illegitimate daughter like her after all of Willa's schemes. Gillian didn't even want to imagine how the netizens would trash her while hyping Willa on every social media platform! Gillian clenched her fist upon hearing the beautiful lady's humiliating words. Gillian had told the old maid to let her get a change of clothes because of an embarrassing situation like what had just happened. However, the old maid ended up making fun of her and even going as far as scolding her before cruelly rejecting her. Seeing the beautiful youn
Upon hearing Calista's order for the two maids to come in, Gillian secretly let out a sigh of relief. Emma didn't expect that she'd be called in to be interrogated, right? So Gillian believed that there was no way that the maids would have been secretly settled by Emma. Gillian's lips curved slightly in anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Emma's old, ugly face slapped hard when the two maids came into the greenhouse to tell the truth. In less than 5 minutes, the two maids were ushered into the greenhouse. The two maids respectfully bowed as soon as they stepped into the greenhouse. “Master, Madam, Miss.” The maids bowed and greeted each other respectfully. Calista ignored their greetings and leaned back in the chair. “Both of you bypassed Emma and Miss Gillian when they were both arguing earlier, didn't you? What do you hear?” She asked straightforwardly, her gaze not bothering to fall on the two. The two maids exchanged glances before their gazes fell on Gillian and Em
Gillian’s shoulder dropped downheartedly as she made her way towards her assigned room. The thought of how everyone in the Albrecht family didn’t welcome her because of the scandal that filled the internet made her heart stung with pain. Upon recalling how her life was when her mother was still alive, a rueful smile appeared on her face. Back when her mom was not comatose, Gillian's daily life was always filled with joy, and she lived like a fulfilled princess with no knowledge of a word called worries. Only when her mom was alive, did she have a home, but... Ever since the hit-and-run accident that left her mom in a comatose state a decade ago, Gillian has lost her home, freedom, and happiness. Nobody stood by Gillian anymore, and the person who promised to stand by her ended up giving her the biggest blow. The thought of Luke’s betrayal stung her heart, causing tears to well in her eyes. It felt as if her heart was being clenched, making it very suffocating and painful
Gillian's shoulder straightened, and she nonchalantly stepped into the room despite Phoebe's provocative words. Seeing Phoebe have those same features as that old hag and seeing how provoked Phoebe looked about Gillian getting married to Albrecht, a faint understanding suddenly sprouted in her mind. Gillian finally understood that the reason that old hag kept glaring at Gillian as if Gillian had stolen Emma's precious treasure—if she ever had one in her life—was all because that old hag Emma had a daughter interested in Augustus. And doing all those schemes was revenge for snatching Augustus! Gillian shook her head, finding everything hilarious! She was also a victim in the first place! How much did she prepare for days like this? How did it end? Gillian understood that bullies like Phoebe and Willa will do everything to attract attention, and whenever one doesn't pay them any attention, it makes them despair! Gillian understood that for days, weeks, or months to come, Wil
Upon hearing Augustus' words and his expression, Gillian's body shook, and she became flustered immediately. What does Augustus mean by he was sick? Who dared to call Augustus sick to his face? Although Gillian had been feeling hesitant about the bullying due to the fact that Augustus was still the Albrecht genius before his fall, hearing his words, she couldn't help thinking that Augustus was in fact being bullied. Whether it was being done secretly or not, Gillian was yet to know. Soon she’ll find out! She secretly clenched her fist and inwardly promised. Gillian quickly, albeit gently, tried to cup Augustus’ cheeks to make him look at her in order to explain to him and comfort him. However, he stubbornly looked down and continued crying, making Gillian’s heart ache more on his behalf. Had Gillian known Augustus would react intensely like this, she'd never have rejected him. But what was she to do? She couldn’t bear the thought of tricking and using him like many oth
The slow pace of the instrumental suddenly became fast. Before Gillian could process it, Augustus' dancing speed had increased. It had taken a lot of effort for a newbie like Gillian to dance according to the slow instrumental and Augustus' pace. But with Augustus suddenly increasing his dancing speed, she felt like a pitiful little fish in the middle of a tide. She could only be pulled by Augustus. Augustus suddenly leaned forward and inhaled the scent of Gillian's hair. His dark eyes lit up, and he patted Gillian's head. “Wife smells good!” He praised her seriously, causing her to blush. Suddenly, Augustus extended his left hand and used it to ruffle Gillian's hair playfully while grinning in delight. “Wife, do you feel good?” His thick voice suddenly asked. Gillian pursed her lips, her head moving all around due to Augustus' action. Not only did Gillian have to dance like a fish caught in a tide due to Augustus' dance pace, but now Augustus kept ruffling her hair w
‘@I love Willa with all my heart: Gillian, that Vixen is such a pathetic slut. How dare she refuse to attend her sister's wedding because she's interested in her brother-in-law? Did she even take a glimpse in the mirror? If I were her, I'd hang myself with a piece of tofu! So disgusting! @Willa is a pure goddess: For such a disgusting and ugly, inhumane vixen like Gillian, she truly deserves to marry a retard like Augustus. Two bad people; heaven is willing to join them both. @Willa is the mother of my children: Willa is such a pure angel; I'm willing to die to get just a smile from her. Gillian isn't worthy of such an angel at all. @I'm an honest follower of goddess Willa: Willa is so sweet. She truly deserves the engagement with a top handsome person like Luke Arnoult. I can't believe that a sweet existence like Willa exists. Despite the fact that Gillian isn't worthy, she was willing to let go of Luke if not for their engagement. I still can't help but get giddy whenever I
. Gillian added her book, pen, and necessities into her bag. Once she was done with all the preparation, Gillian slung the strap of her bag on her shoulder and adjusted it. Immediately, Gillian made her way toward the mirror and stared at it to take in her appearance. Gillian wore a navy blue shirt and a plaid black skirt that fell on her beautiful thighs, her long jet-black hair parked in a bun, revealing her beautiful bare face while showcasing her smooth and pale long neck. Gillian picked up her phone from its charging spot. Her eyes fell on Augustus, who had been staring at her throughout the course of the arrangement, and her eyes lit up, her face unconsciously brightening in a sweet smile. Gillian walked toward Augustus, who sat straight on the bed, and she extended her hand to ruffle his hair the way he loved it. His eyes squinted, and his lips curved upward. “Young master, Gillian has to go to the university to study from now on.” Due to the engagement with Luke,
Upon hearing Gillian’s word, Augustus’ brows furrowed in agitation, and his hand holding her tightened. He immediately directed Gillian toward the sofa and made her sit down. “Wife is sick. The doctor will check up on wife.” Immediately, Augustus turned away from Gillian as if wanting to leave. Gillian’s eyes lit up, and her face brightened. Augustus is so adorable. How can he care so much about her? Gillian stood up and wrapped her hands around Augustus from behind; her eyes crinkled. “Young master, you are so adorable.” Suddenly, Gillian made Augustus turn to her. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Augustus knowingly. “Have young master eaten?” Augustus shook his head and stared at Gillian before responding sincerely, “Waiting for Gillian.” Upon hearing this, Gillian’s heart melted, and her whole person softened as if she had just been embedded in honey. Even though Augustus had only let out a response, it was enough to send joy coursing through Gillian’s system. Of c
Gillian's hand balled into a fist, and her chest heaved and fell, her face reddening with indignation. It was enough that those people dared to spout shit behind Augustus' back and in the media. How dare that cynical scumbag who came from heaven-knows-where stand in her presence and spout shit? So what if he’s wealthy? So what if he looked peerless and outstanding? So what if he looks scary? Gillian won’t take nonsense from whoever. As long as they dared to face her, then she’d give them the response they deserved! Gillian believed that Augustus was not a bad person and he would heal one day. That jerk. He’s such a bastard. Originally, Gillian was sad, but now she was so infuriated by what ensued at the club minutes ago. Gillian inwardly promised that she'd do her best and make sure to do everything in her capabilities in order to see Augustus improve and heal. By that time those shameless bastards who dared to shame Augustus will be face-slapped so hard their whole sy
A dark mark ran from beneath the mask down to the man's chin, adding to the man's ruggedness and intimidation. His unique, pleasant, and musky scent fiercely invades one's nose pleasantly The man was so impeccable and otherworldly that the only person Gillian can compare the person to was the billionaire Augustus Albrecht before he became retard. Suddenly, Gillian shook her head and snapped out of her thoughts. What was she thinking? Had her Augustus not become a retard, his aura will surely be fiercer, and he’ll definitely be more handsome than this annoying person. Upon seeing the stranger’s blue eyes and recalling his accent, Gillian knew he must be a foreigner. Only that Gillian doesn't know which country he's from. This person is otherworldly handsome; unfortunately, when he parts his lips, he's far from handsome, and he has such a poisonous tongue. He's certainly not worthy to be compared to her Augustus! Immediately, Gillian lost the desire to talk to such an
A disparaging smile crept on Gillian's face; her eyes reddened with tears, her shoulders trembled, and her body shook. Even though it was just a few minutes that had passed, Gillian's face had turned wan and her body had turned so frail it was as if she had turned 10 years older and she could be easily swept by breeze. Gillian laughed ruefully and grabbed the glass of alcohol tighter. How hilarious! How hilarious how everything eventually ensued! When Gillian received the news of how the bidding with Roger Arison had ended, a surge of joy infiltrated Gillian's system, and she couldn't help believing that the world was beginning to get on her side. But it turns out it was a joke. It was all a joke. Of course, what was Gillian thinking? The world had always been on the lookout to fuck Gillian up without giving her the chance to take her breath. She had rejoiced too early. She had… In the end, Roger and the Arison family were the ones with the last laugh. Upon realizing
The instant Roger Arison cut off the call after letting out a belly full of fury, Gillian’s eyes flashed and her lips curved up in a sinister smile. Gillian lowered her phone and returned it to her bag, her eyes crinkling. Such a useless father. Roger had repeatedly pushed Gillian unreasonably without having even an iota of remorse in his heart. Roger Arison had believed that he'd keep having the winning arms, but will Gillian ever let him? Never. Not only was Roger Arison very selfish; but had Gillian agreed to steal a proper document for Roger Arison, Gillian knew Roger planned to have Gillian in the palm of his hand. From then on, Roger Arison will keep the document and use it to threaten Gillian, force Gillian against her will, and make her succumb by threatening to reveal that Gillian had done such a heinous thing of stealing a document in Augustus' office to the Albrecht family and the netizen. Certainly, Gillian will be scared and will want to prevent Roger from
The driver hurriedly stretched out his hands and picked up the document. Immediately, he handed the document to Roger. “Master, the address of the land is here, and I have perfectly followed it. The land brought us closer to the outskirts of the city. Master, please take a look.” Roger Arison’s expression changed, and a bad premonition began to pervade his mind, making his whole system become tense. Immediately, he snatched the document from the driver’s hand and began to go through it. In the next minute, Roger Arison’s expression changed, and he came to a realization: he had been schemed against. That darn Gillian! That darn auction! They had played him. The auction mentioned that that piece of land was situated in a developing part of the city, close to the part of the city that has many different types of tourist centers and beautiful scenery that attracts foreigners and citizens alike, etc. But it turns out that it was all lies. The land had developed into a waste forest
Roger Arison leaned back haughtily and swept a smug look at the other bidders. After getting the biggest cheat from Gillian, how won’t Roger make full use of such a big advantage? The Albrecht company is one of the biggest companies, and the Albrecht have easy access to top-notch information. Roger can't help thinking that he had hit it big, and there's just a little while left before he raises the Arison company to a high level. Even higher than the Albrecht. The thought of overwhelming the Albrecht and standing at the top made Roger's heart itch so much with eagerness. According to the information in the document Gillain had gotten from Roger Arison, that piece of land was situated in a developing part of the city. Moreover, it is said that that part of the city has many different types of tourist centers and beautiful scenery that attracts foreigners and citizens alike. Moreover, the land was close to the road, and there were lakes, beautiful birds, butterflies, scen
Upon hearing the sudden masculine voice, Luke’s expression changed into a cold frown, and he raised his head to stare at the person. His expression changed into displeasure upon seeing Herke. "Why is it you? Why are you here?" He demanded coldly, a rage of fury building in him. The moment his eyes landed on Gillian and Herke’s interlocked hands, an intense surge of fury overwhelmed Luke. Why are the two together? What are the two doing together? Herke extended his hand, smoothly wrapped his hands around Gillian’s waist, and drew her closer to him. Gillian’s eyes flew wide and her lips parted in shock, her mind racing chaotically. She and this person aren’t close at all. What… What was this person doing? Why was he doing this? A taunting smirk appeared on Herke’s face, and he lowered his head to stare at the shocked woman with a fond look. In the next second, he raised his head to brush a cold glance at Luke. “What do you think?" Herke’s lips curved up, and he rubbed Gillian
