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 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,
'It's with great excitement we revealed to you that our business couple Luke Arnoult and Willa Arison have finally gotten engaged. We hope to see the happy couples get married soon...' "What?" Gillian Arison's eyes widened in disbelief and her body shook. Her heart began to pound, and she shook her dizzy head in shock. "Impossible. No, it can't be possible. Sister and Luke, how can?" Luke Arnoult, her boyfriend, and Willa Arison, her sister, how can they get engaged today? It should be Gillian Arison and Luke Arnoult who got engaged. What are the reporters saying? What are they showing on the TV? What nonsense! Gillian rubbed her eyes like crazy, and she saw that the image on the TV hadn't changed. Willa Arison, her sister, was in an exquisite and expensive pink gown while Luke Arnoult, her boyfriend, was in a blue suit. The two people were holding their hands looking like a perfect couple. Gillian froze, and she looked stunned; her whole figure seemed to have been de
'Escape!' Gillian's eyes widened, and she tried to spring up only to get pulled back by heavy shackles. "Ugh." She groaned in pain immediately. Gillian's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly looked around, her heart racing. She gasped upon realizing that she was in a dressing room, cuffed to the chair she was sitting on. She found out that she was being prepared by four dressing staff. Taking a look at herself, Gillian found out that she was in a white lace gown that was designed with diamonds and stone. A bitter smile appeared on Gillian's face upon realizing that she was being forced to get dressed and prepare for the wedding with Augustus. Gillian's heart tightened in pain. She understood that what the Arison family was subtly telling her was that she had to go through the wedding regardless of how she felt! Her hand fell on the white dress and her face contorted with contempt. Seeing the dress reminded Gillian of how naive she was. She thought she was
Instantly, Gillian understood what was happening. Willa must have realized that Luke was nearby, which was the reason Willa acted out such an incredible play. Gillian's heart tightened with pain as she stared at the handsome face she had known for years. They had been so close a few days ago. They had happily talked about their future a few days ago but somehow, it felt as if they were nothing but a stranger. Now it had gotten to the point where Luke would choose to support Gillian's sister rather than Gillian, the woman he loved. A disparaging chuckle spilled past Gillian's lips. Oh, is she kidding, the two had already gotten engaged. Gillian is no longer the woman Luke loved. Rather, Willa is. Willa had always been. Willa grabbed Luke's hand and shook her head softly, her eyes pooled with tears and her lips quivered. Her delicate actions repeatedly stir sorrow into everyone's heart. “No Luke. Don't blame younger sister, it's not younger sister's fault. It's just th
Gillian clenched her fist and her body shook due to multiple feelings. It's the same thing every time. These were the same schemes the Arison used to prevent her from working in the Arison family; to send her abroad for two years, to... How many lists does Gillian want to count? How much humiliation had she received? "Mrs. Gillian, are you still there?" The nurse's impatient voice asked. Gillian's eyes fell on her disgrace of a father, Luke, Willa, and Kathy. She secretly clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in hatred. Gillian inwardly swore to remember today when she was forced against her will to marry a retard. When she was humiliated beyond words. Gillian promised to pay an eye for an eye in the future. From now on she had no tie with the Arison family. "Fine, I'll marry him. I'll apologize." Gillian breathed out, her body shaking. The sentence had taken her all her will before it could articulate. She couldn't help but give herself a deriding smile, she never exp
A sad smile overtook Gillian's face, her eyes moist, the corner of her mouth drawn down, and her chin trembled as she stared at the pale yet gorgeous beauty in the mirror. Limpid, beautiful big black moist eyes that are clear and bright like a web of shiny stars on a starry night, straight jet black hair that falls to the waist, a cute button nose, soft and pliable seductive plump red lips that seem to call one for a kiss. Overall, the girl in the mirror was a peerless, gorgeous beauty that could topple cities, ruin nations, and pull the heartstrings of any man. Except that the impeccable eyes currently held tears, causing anyone who saw the sight to have a tug in the deepest part of their heart. Gillian clenched her fist tight. Her pain was bare in her teary eyes. “So hilarious!” Gillian suddenly spat, the words clearly meant to taunt herself. A mocking smile surfaced on her face, and she leaned back against the counter, her shoulder trembling. Gillian had planned her who
Immediately, all the guests glared at Gillian with hatred and disdain. Such a vile younger sister; how dare she hurt her elder sister? So what if Gillian is beautiful? She's very heartless! “Gillian, you cruel woman, when will you stop treating Willa like this? She's your older sister.” Luke chided with a bellow and made his way toward the sad and trembling Willa to hug her. Gillian laughed coldly, finding everything hilarious. Willa came forward to say a bunch of things herself; how did it become her fault? “Treat Willa how? She came here to say a bunch of things and began to sob herself. What should I do?” “Do according to Willa's order.” Luke shamelessly retorted. “You know Willa's health has always been frail, yet not only did you push her hard in the dressing room earlier, but now you make her cry…” Luke declared in anger. The crowd hissed upon hearing Luke's words, and their gaze toward Gillian became more hostile. How can this bride be so wicked? Thankfully, Gillian i

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
