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’s fists clenched, and her body trembled, sad tears pooling in her eyes. Gillian had lost everything yet sacrificed what she had left just to get her mother's bills paid, yet it turns out that her dad will fail to pay her mother's bills as he promised. Even if Gillian was an illegitimate child, Roger gave birth to her, and she was his child as well. Does he have to be so cruel, does he? Willa doesn't have to say a word before her wish will be fulfilled by the entire family. However, for Gillian, no matter what she does, it isn't enough, or she is simply a feigning vixen. Gillian sniffed and wiped the sad tears spilling past her cheeks. She clenched her shaky fists to calm down and dialed Roger Arison’s number. It was after the fifth ring that the call was picked up by the indignant Roger Arison. “I have obediently apologized to Willa, and I have married Augustus Albrecht in place of Willa. Why is my mother's hospital bill yet to be paid?” Gillian’s face
The nurse's response made Gillian so infuriated that she wanted to bang the table and throw things across the room. How can that man be so ruthless? Even if Roger doesn't care anymore, at least he and her mother had once been so lovey-dovey. Can he even think about the love they once shared? Valencia had never felt disgusted with a being before. She felt that the Arison people were indeed family. They all have vicious blood swirling in their systems, except for her. Despite the fury pervading Gillian's system, recalling the presence of the sleeping Augustus, Gillian bit her lower lip and exhaled rapidly to regain her calm. “I understand." She replied and cut off the call. Gillian stared into the distance for a few minutes, and tears pooled in her eyes. Why does everything seem to be in ruin at the same time? Did heaven hate her so much that it was not willing to give her any chance to breathe? Suddenly, Gillian clenched her fists and exhaled. Regardless, she had to stay c
Gillian stretched her body and leisurely yawned. She rubbed her eyes and sat up drowsily before opening her eyes. Finding herself in an unfamiliar, luxurious room that morning, Gillian was stunned, and her body tensed for a minute. But... Upon recalling what ensued the day before, her body relaxed, and a thought came to her mind: she had married into the Albrecht family as the bride of Augustus Albrecht instead of the original plan to get married to Luke Arnoult. Thinking about Luke made Gillian's heart pang. Luke didn't even attempt to clarify things. It'd have been better if she had received a call. A lot of people at least know when their relationship is coming to an end, but Gillian had to see her breakup notice in the media. Who does that? Thinking about Augustus, Gillian quickly snapped out of her pain and hurriedly stood up. For someone who had been experiencing insomnia, she wondered if Augustus was still sleeping or had woken up. Gillian made her way towards the
Ivy eyed Gillian and cocked her chin with contempt. “Oh, was your custom-made wedding car for show? The young mistress of the Albrecht family is walking around the city with legs." Ivy won't deny that when she realized that the car belonged to Gillian, she was filled with envy. How could such a wonderful car belong to Gillian? Although Ivy was a bit happy to see Willa's car, she couldn't help having that sense of contempt. Gillian's car was just too breathtaking, and she had the strong urge to get into it. Upon realizing that Gillian didn't bring that car around her, her envious side decided to lash out and flaunt to Gillian using the car. "Cousin Willa received a new car last night, and she had it out there, unlike someone who can only walk around the street the next day. Hmph!" ‘She’s so crazy. Even if she hates the family and the retard she got married to, this is the second day, a few hours after her wedding. Can’t she respect the family and wait for a few months at lea
Willa's eyes widened, and her body shook in disbelief. "What do you mean by younger sister will be arrested for illegal assault? How can younger sister be arrested? Who dared to call the police?" Willa cried out righteously, her eyes red-rimmed and her thin voice filled with indignation, sadness, and pity at the same time. Immediately, Willa tried to stand up in an attempt to support Gillian, but before she could, she broke into a sweat, her face turned pale, and she screamed out in pain. "Ah, Luke, it hurts!" Willa cried out while rubbing her knees. Seeing everyone's gaze, including one of the policemen whose expression had turned darker, Willa quickly shut her lips as if she didn't mean to cry out so loud despite the pain that was coursing through her. Luke's expression changed, and he glared at Gillian with intense hatred immediately. "She deserves it." He spat darkly and hurried towards Willa's side to support her. Seeing how much Willa seemed to be in pain yet suppress
"How dare that Gillian bitch!” Renata bellowed and gnashed her teeth, her face completely red and her body shaking with indignation and hatred. With a wave of her hands, Renata swept the neatly arranged items on the table onto the floor, causing a crashing sound that resounded in the office. Renata paced around the office, her face completely red with indignation. “I have waited and planned for this day my whole life. How could that illegitimate bitch from nowhere take over the position? That bitch! I really want to kill her,” Renata seethed, her eyes flashing with overwhelming hatred. Renata paused in her tracks, stood straight, and her chest heaved and fell heavily as she gasped for breath. How much work had she put in? Those times when she could only stay in the background… Those times when she wasn’t worth mentioning in front of investors… Those times when she was looked down on… Those times when she could only cry in silence. But because of Gillian, she was about to fad
“Ever since the Albrecht Company was established, it has been led by different CEOs. Although each of them made significant contributions and pushed the company forward, the most remarkable among them was the former CEO, Augustus Albrecht.Unfortunately, CEO Augustus encountered an unfortunate event that changed everything.It was all thanks to the former CEO that the Albrecht Company transformed from a national company into an international empire with numerous branches.Today, we are all gathered here because we are here to choose a temporary CEO for the CEO’s position.For over two years, the company has broken protocol by leaving the CEO position vacant because we believed in our former CEO. However, we are now making a change by appointing an acting CEO to lead the company until the CEO recovers.For this position, we have Mr. Scott Albrecht, an honor student with a perfect academic record. His years spent abroad have greatly contributed to the company’s international success. Mr
“Young master, Ivie is doing fine,” Gillian exclaimed and pushed the door to Augustus’s study.Gillian’s eyes shone, and her expression brightened, clearly showing that her sadness had already decreased after seeing Ivie’s state being much better than before.Augustus dropped the document he was focusing on, stretched his hands out, and motioned for Gillian to come to him. “Come here.” He leaned back and commanded.Gillian ran toward Augustus obediently and sat on his lap. She hooked her hands around his neck and placed a loud kiss on his cheek. “Young master, how’s work?”Augustus’s lips curved up in response; just seeing the woman’s face was more than enough to clear away all the weariness from his soul. Suddenly, Augustus picked up a file and placed it in front of Gillian.Augustus took his pen and handed it to Gillian, “Sign it.” He nudged while pointing at a certain part of the document.Without hesitation, Gillian collected the pen and signed the spot Augustus ordered her to.Up
It was early at dawn that Gillian roused up from sleep. She furrowed her brows and tried to recall the memories of the previous day.Immediately, Augustus placed his hand on Gillian’s forehead to check her temperature. Upon seeing that she was fine, he exhaled in relief. “Are you okay?”Due to Gillian’s repeated nightmares, Augustus ended up having to summon Perez in the middle of the night. The pitiful Perez ended up having to stay the night at the Albrecht mansion.Gillian snuggled in Augustus’ embrace and grabbed Augustus’ hand tightly. Her body trembled, and she cried out, filled with self-blame.Only if Gillian had snapped out of it quickly, Ivie wouldn’t have had to sacrifice her life to push Gillian. “Young master, it’s so scary. I was so scared. Only if I hadn’t frozen. Only if…”Before Gillian could complete her words, Augustus grabbed her chin with his index finger and thumb. He leaned closer and captured her lips in a fierce kiss.The driver was out to kill Gillian. Even if
“Irie.” Irie’s grandmother stepped into the hospital and cried out anxiously while holding her chest. Her eyes were extremely red as if she had been crying. Upon seeing the pale Gillian, Irie’s grandmother hurried toward her and hugged her tightly. “Gillian, how is Irie? What did the doctor say about Irie?” she inquired in a shaky voice, her body trembling slightly. Gillian’s body trembled, and her lips quivered, her eyes exceptionally red. She could only let out two words, her eyes fixated on Irie’s ward, “Grandma, Irie. Irie.” “Irie.” An older and anxious masculine voice suddenly sounded. Upon seeing Gillian, Irie’s father’s eyes turned cold, and he chided her in fury, “My daughter risked her life for such a type of person? When you got together with your father, you didn’t hesitate to dump my daughter…” Upon hearing Irie’s father’s words, Gillian could only lower her head and accept his chiding. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” A guard immediately stepped forward to shield Gillia
Mr. Lewis and Gillian stepped out of the company as soon as Gillian wrapped up her shoot. Mr. Lewis' eyes fell on Gillian; his eyes filled with sincere admiration for Gillian. Gillian is so professional that she can compete with A-list models when it comes to her modeling skills. He hadn't expected her to have such huge skills despite that her course was switched!"Miss Gillian, you are so impressive. Originally, I expected the shoot to be given more days due to the delay. I didn't expect that you'd complete the shoot faster instead!" Mr. Lewis praisedUpon hearing this, Gillian smiled calmly and neatly arranged her hair. "Thank you for the praise..." Before she could complete her statement, Gillian's phone suddenly rang, putting a pause to her words. Gillian quickly took out her phone to check the caller—Irie.Upon seeing the caller, Gillian's face broke into a smile, and she bowed to Mr. Lewis before bidding him goodbye. Immediately, Gillian entered the call; she picked up Irie
Suddenly, Gillian chuckled in mockery, her voice filled with disdain. "Everyone has always praised Miss Zenaida for being an innocent and elegant woman. If your fans know that you're shamelessly throwing yourself at a married man and daring to stay in his matrimonial mansion. I think they'll be disappointed." Gillian said straightforwardly."You..." Zenaida could only say that word, her tongue completely tied due to rage. Her face alternated between red and green, and her body trembled in rage. This Gillian bitch!"Nonsense!" Renata, who had just entered the mansion, yelled upon hearing Gillian's words. She pointed her fingers at Gillan. "You bitch! You're just an ordinary maid; how dare you give orders in this mansion?" Gillian's lips curved up, and she turned to Renata, an unwavering determination and fierceness in her eyes. She calmly responded, "As the young madam of the Albrecht mansion, if I can't even give orders in the Albrecht mansion, isn't my position pretty useless?"This
“Isn’t it just to take a file from that retard's office? Can’t you do such a simple thing anymore? When did you become so useless?" A thick, masculine voice boomed from the other end of the phone; the person's voice was filled with fury. Upon hearing the furious voice, Zenaida can only lower her head. She spoke in a patient, coaxing, and soft voice while her eyes were completely overwhelmed with hatred, “Dad, I have yet to find that file in Augustus’ office before that Gillian bitch interrupts me. Since that incident, the security of Augustus' office has become tight. Except for Augustus, no one else can step into Augustus' office. I really want to kill that Gillian bitch.” Zenaida finalized while gnashing her teeth together in hatred.Upon hearing this, the man at the other end of the phone snorted coldly. “You have mentioned Gillian a thousand times; is she a reason for an excuse now? If you can't even handle a country bum anymore, then what can you even do?" He chided coldly.His
Upon hearing this, Zenaida was unable to regain her calmness, and her expression turned ugly. Luckily, that person was able to escape. She wished he would never return to the country, but that person has always been greedy. She needs to call the person and make sure he never mentions her name, regardless of if he’s captured or not...” However, upon thinking about the last word uttered by Perez, her mind skipped a beat. Won't this blow up the matter? She feigned a smile and waved her hand. “Asking the family so soon, won’t it be like creating trouble…” “This is pertaining to the Albrecht family's reputation and Young Madam Gillian’s safety. We’ll take our leave now.” Perez and Doctor Axel immediately said, brushing off Zenaida’s questions and directly leaving out of the mansion. Renata's expression changed. She hadn’t even made an attempt to search for Gillian because she indeed wanted something to happen to Gillian, but she didn’t expect that Gillian’s life was truly too tenacious
