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
"Come with me." The policeman's soft voice drifted into her ears, snapping her awake from her thoughts. Gillian frowned slightly upon realizing something. Although Gillian had no knowledge of how arrested victims are usually treated, isn't this policeman treating her too gently for a criminal? What if she fled? "You won't." A firm voice sounded above her, and she found herself staring into the policeman's black and calm eyes. Gillian frowned slightly. How did he know what she was thinking about? She eyed him coldly and spat disparagingly, "You seem to trust me too much, but I..." "Gillian Arison has no usefulness to me. I don't need you to associate me with the members of the high class." He interjected with a calm voice. "I just find you pitiful." He finalized Gillian's expression changed, and she glared at him before scowling unhappily. "I don't need your pity!" She snapped Immediately, Gillian stormed out from the other side of the car and held out her hand to the
Augustus' eyes suddenly flew wide open; his gaze was a bit strange and unfocused. His heart was racing extremely fast. For a few minutes, he stared into the distance unnaturally. Suddenly, his eyes turned natural and innocent-looking, and his heartbeat returned to normal. Augustus' brows wrinkled slightly, and he tilted his head in confusion as if he wanted to recall where he was. He swept his gaze around the large room. Suddenly, a happy glint flickered past Augustus' eyes. His lips curved upward, and his furrowed brows straightened as if he had just recalled something. Augustus raised his hand and touched his forehead absentmindedly. It seems to carry a different type of warmth. Gillian! Wife! Augustus sat up and turned to the other side of the bed eagerly; clearly, he hoped to see Gillian next to him. Unfortunately, Augustus was greeted with the absence of Gillian. Augustus' brows furrowed, and he sprang up from the bed immediately. He walked around the room—r
Upon hearing the bodyguard's statement, Gillian's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened like those of a cute hamster. Augustus had just known Gillian the day before; how could he care about her so much that her absence would lead to his current mood? Suddenly, a thought flickered through Gillian's mind. Perhaps Gillian was the only person Augustus could rely on, so he subconsciously began to get possessive of her. Gillian's brows knit slightly upon realizing a thing. Didn't the Albrecht family care for Augustus? How would Augustus be in such a position without them bothering about it? Gillian took a deep breath to suppress her chaotic thoughts. Instantly, she decided on the most important thing, which was checking on Augustus. Regardless of what might happen later, Gillian decided to ditch the cleaning job until she made sure that Augustus was fine. Gillian bit her lower lip and turned to Butler Leo solemnly. Her back straightened, and her gaze was firm. "I'll che
"Here. Please hold it." As soon as Gillian arrived in front of her room, she handed the platter filled with two bowls of noodles and poached eggs to Steve. Steve nodded and hurriedly collected the platter. His lips parted to say a word, but before he could, Gillian turned and entered the room at a fast pace. Gillian took a look at herself in the mirror and began to fix her look and clothes. Seeing the red fingerprint marks on her face, she sighed and quickly applied makeup to that certain part of her cheek to conceal the mark. Once Gillian was sure that she was presentable, she strode towards the closet in a long stride. Gillian had always been a fan of keeping favorite snacks in her bag for easy access. Gillian picked up a bag and opened it. She took out a favorite bar of chocolate and a lollipop and put them into her pocket before making her way out of the room. "Thank you." Gillian flashed Steve a smile and hurriedly collected the platter from him. “Can you bring me t
The sun hung on the blue cloud and shone that beautiful afternoon. In the VIP hospital room of Serene Health Hospital, Willa Arison lay on the bed with a slightly pale face and an IV drip connected to her hand. Suddenly, the door barged open, and a figure ran into the room at top speed. "Oh, my poor Willa.” Kathy Arison gently grabbed Willa’s hand and cried out in a voice filled with heartache and pain, her eyes pooling with tears. She gently stroked Willa’s cheeks, sadness swirling in her eyes. She stuttered, her body trembling at the sight she had just seen. “How can you? How can you be in such a bad position? Who dares? Who dared to...” The sight of Willa’s pitiful state made Kathy so infuriated that she wanted to rip the attacker apart. Before Kathy Arison could complete her sentence, Ivy snorted loudly, her eyes flashing with hatred and anger. The thought of how Gillian embarrassed her in the mall kept flashing in her head, overwhelming her with fury again and again. S
Axel strode out of the mansion, carrying a list of documents. His eyes are piercingly cold and frightening, and his expression is dark and grim to the bone. Axel’s jaw clenched, and his vein throbbed in fury. None. He meant that none of the documents he took from Augustus' study could be made use of. Just thinking about how that person had ignored Axel to lick Sweet made Axel exceptionally angry. Seeing Augustus’ state earlier in the study, Axel didn't even know if Gillian's presence was a blessing or curse now. "Assistant Axel." A deep masculine voice of an older man suddenly sounded. An older man in his forties strode towards Axel while putting on a blue suit. His face looked like the older version of Calista. Upon seeing Edward Davidson, Calista’s father, and Renata’s husband, a contemptuous glint flickered past Axel's eyes. However, it quickly dissipated, giving one the notion that it’s just one’s imagination. "Mr. Edward." Despite Axel's change of mood, Axel’s voice
. 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
