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
"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
Surely, Renata can’t dare to turn Gillian down, or else she’ll be ripped apart by the media, and everyone will know that their relationship is fake! Despite her mind turmoil, Renata can only grit her teeth and extend her hand to help Gillian out. She gnashed her teeth together and subtly called, “Gillian.” The corner of Gillian’s lips widened, and she smiled elegantly. She happily took Renata’s hand and responded innocently as if she didn’t know what she had done, “Thank you, aunt. Aunt looked so beautiful.” She praised. Suddenly, Gillian’s lips curved up, and her eyes flashed with a cunning glint. She whispered for Renata’s hearing, “It’s just having such a twisted face that makes Aunt look the opposite of tonight.” Despite Gillian mocking Renata’s face, she had a sweet smile on her face. Renata’s expression changed, and her face reddened in indignation, her body trembling. “Gillian, you bitch, are you calling me ugly?” She chided in a whisper.Upon hearing this, Gillian’s lips p
"Young madam, it's time." A maid suddenly knocked on Gillian's door and quietly announced. Upon hearing this, Gillian turned to Augustus with vivid exhaustion on her beautiful face. She pursed her lips and stared at Augustus before pointing at her dress. “What about this…” Augustus didn’t hesitate at all before domineeringly rejecting, “Can’t.” Gillian immediately puffed out her cheeks and plopped onto the sofa in grievances. All night, regardless of what dress Gillian put on, Augustus felt that it was too revealing and kept rejecting her from wearing it to the party! These dresses were arranged by him in the first place. Augustus’s eyes fell on the woman who was currently dressed in a sleeveless ballroom gown that fell to her feet, and his eyes shone with dissatisfaction. The woman is his. She looked so seductive, enchanting, and beautiful with her hair packed above her head, showcasing her elegant and long neck coupled with her smooth and clean collarbone. Not to mention her
“Where’s Gillian?” The cold voice of Norviel resounded in the classroom as soon as he stepped into the class.Immediately, Norviel’s blue eyes darted around the class, yet he failed to set his eyes on Gillian.Gillian has always been popular; if she had arrived at the school that day, people would have noticed already, yet they hadn't.The coursemates immediately voice out that they haven’t seen Gillian all day.Upon hearing this, Norviel’s brows furrowed, and his eyes turned cold.Without hesitation, Norviel strode out of the classroom and left for his office.The minute Norviel stepped into his office, three hefty guards in black grabbed him by the neck, shut the door, and pressed him against the wall.The eyes under the mask widened due to shock and fear. Norviel began to struggle while panicking, “What are you doing? Who are you?"One of the burly masked men smiled coldly and moved toward Norviel. “I didn't expect that you have been pretending all this while. Prince Norviel, you h
“Eh!” Kathy exclaimed in bewilderment and eyed Willa. “Why are you putting on such thick clothes in the mansion?” Kathy’s eyes, which landed on Willa Arison, were filled with curiosity. But in the next second, her expression changed, and she hurried toward Willa. Kathy quickly grabbed Willa’s hand and touched her forehead in concern. “Willa, why is your face pale? Didn’t you sleep well… Is it because of Gillian, that bitch?”Immediately, Willa’s eyes flashed with a wicked glint that Kathy failed to see, and she lowered her head.Although Willa didn’t say anything, she was indirectly admitting that her current state was caused by Gillian. Currently, Willa was dressed in a turtleneck knitted sweater and a long skirt that reached her ankle. Upon recalling how the night ended, Willa’s mood changed, and her eyes flashed with hatred. Despite how Willa yelled and cried for help the night before, somehow no one heard. This was definitely Dale’s handiwork! Willa’s eyes flashed with hatr
Although Gillian’s eyes looked exceptionally red as if she had been crying, Zenaida couldn’t help discovering that Gillian's skin looked better. Moreover, Gillian somehow looked so happy while glowing radiantly. Upon recalling the reason Renata wanted to see Gillian, Zenaida's mood turned worse. But in the next second, she snorted, and her eyes lit up with a crafty glint. Gillian, that bitch! The worst thing she had ever done was choosing to mess with Zenaida. So what if the aphrodisiac Zenaida instructed a waitress to spill into Gillian’s drink at the club didn’t end up working, although she didn’t know how it happened? But tonight… Zenaida's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. Let’s see if anyone can save Gillian from her wrath! Upon thinking like this, Zenaida snorted and left. Gillian’s brows arched at Zenaida's words and action, but in the next second, she pushed it away. Gillian’s expression turned grim, and her mind began to spin. Whenever Gillian and Renata meet, Gillian
“Ah. Ah. It hurts. It hurts a lot.” Gillian pursed her lips and mumbled in a hoarse whisper, her words so low that one could hardly hear. Feeling the familiar hand that stroked her stomach, a sense of indignation overwhelmed Gillian, and she raised her head to glare daggers at Augustus with her red eyes. Shameless. Indecent. Hmph. Immediately, Gillian straightened her back but not without crying out pitifully and letting out endless curses in her heart. “Young master, you can’t stay in my room anymore.” She straightforwardly and ruthlessly declaredBack then, Gillian thought that Augustus was truly a retard and because of that she had let down her guard and gave this insatiable lustful man the chance to creep everywhere. However, after last night, Gillian realized that this person wasn’t who she thought him to be, and if she didn’t want to get her back broken soon, she had to put an end to this whole thing. “Augustus, I’m very scared when you are here, so please return to your room
“Willa. Willa. Willa. That bitch is truly all over the place like a pest!” Mrs. Arnoult, Luke’s mother, yelled out and slammed the business magazine in her hand on the table. She pointed her hand and chided, “That bitch is truly too shameless and cruel. She doesn't even like you. How can you be blind to fall for someone like her, introduce her to our family, and get engaged to her?” She scolded. Luke’s expression changed immediately, and he stared at her in disbelief. He argued, “Mom, you accepted her in the past and…” Before Luke could complete his sentence, Mr. Arnoult placed the newspaper down in his hands and ordered firmly, “Luke, you have to break your engagement with that slut. At first, I thought that the Arison family was good, beneficial, and suitable for you, but it turns out that they are the worst. Ever since you got together with Willa, she kept getting into trouble, and she kept dragging the company down. Such a person isn’t a fit for our family. Back then, when you w
As soon as Kathy dismissed her maids and stepped into the room, her collected expression changed and she locked the door behind her. She made her way into her closet and shut the door behind her. Immediately, Kathy attempted to dial a number, but before she could, her phone rang, and the same number she wanted to call called her. Kathy’s expression changed immediately. Nevertheless, she picked up the phone and spoke in a whisper as if she was afraid that someone might hear her words. “What do you want this time?” She said in a rush, her voice filled with a bit of chiding. An older masculine voice drifted from the other end of the phone, the person’s tone straightforward and blunt. “I'm short of money,” he said.Kathy’s expression changed, and her face reddened in indignation and mixed feelings; her voice raised a tad higher, and she lectured coldly, “Is all you cared about money? Willa is in trouble!” She declared.Upon hearing this, the leisureness in the person's tone disappeared
By the time Willa stepped out of the bathroom, her phone already had some charges. Immediately she turned on her phone. The moment Willa’s phone was turned on, endless notifications and alerts bombarded her phone.Willa’s expression changed immediately. Nevertheless, she began to go through her notification. Gradually, Willa's eyes turned cold. It turns out that someone had taken a picture of Willa in a cleaning suit while Willa was washing the restroom. As if that wasn’t enough, the person uploaded the photo coupled with Willa’s press conference photos and Willa in her normal goddess picture.Upon seeing those photos, the netizens immediately went abuzz, and social media turned upside down. All this while they had always believed that Willa’s real face was the goddess and pure face, and she only used a bit of makeup to touch her face.However, it turns out that it’s not so. Willa’s facial beauty can be said to be only a bit above average. If Willa was in a crowd, she wouldn’t be ou
