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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
