Gillian giggled in amusement at the sight of Augustus 'cleaning meticulously'. She can’t help thinking that she is the only one who has the gut. The gut to allow Augustus to clean cobwebs for her! Augustus’ brows furrowed, and his eyes instantly fixed on the ceiling, as if he wanted to make sure he did a good job and didn't forget to miss any of the cobwebs. The sight was so amusing and enchanting at the same time that Gillian's face reddened and her limpid eyes were transfixed on Augustus, lost in Augustus’ charm and the moment. Augustus suddenly turned back and beamed at Gillian. His eyes squinted, and his lips curved in happiness. "Gillian, did I do well?" Augustus inquired once more, his illusionary tail hanging up on high as if to receive Gillian's praise again. Seeing the person's clear and innocent eyes and recalling how she had blanked out at the sight of Augustus' handsomeness, Gillian had the impulse to hit herself at her lack of control. Augustus is so innocent; how
"Madam, please stop!" Butler Leo exclaimed and whizzed into the hall anxiously before Renata could. His chest heaved heavily, and his hand held his chest in a gasp for breath due to his actions. “Please stop.” He reiterated The sudden interjection made Renata’s face contort in displeasure. However, she let her hand fall by her side reluctantly, and she stared at Butler Leo impatiently and meaningfully, as if telling him with her gaze that his interruption better be worthy. Butler Leo took a step and stopped in front of Renata. "Madam, young master Augustus stepped into the hall without young madam Gillian’s knowledge. Although the young madam tried to send the young master out, young master Augustus refused to adhere to Young Madam Gillian. The whole scene can be checked on the hall CCTV camera." Butler Leo carefully explained that his old face had a careful and polite calm smile on it, and throughout the whole speech, his eyes didn't fall on Gillian, not even for a second. A s
Gillian didn’t know if Augustus's silent way of coping with pain was due to his character before he became a retard or if it was due to the events he had gone through after waking up as a retard. Gillian snapped out of her chaotic thoughts and scurried towards Augustus, panic and worry written on her face. Gillian shakily extended her hands to support Augustus; her body trembled due to the fear and panic surging in her. Her shaky hands fell on Augustus' forehead to gauge his temperature. But after a few seconds, Gillian didn’t find anything amiss with Augustus' temperature, making her more anxious. She bowed slightly in front of him and stared directly into his eyes. “Young Master, is anything wrong?” She inquired worriedly. Augustus’ furrowed brows deepened, his lips pursed, and he held his stomach tighter. “Uncomfortable.” He simply responded with a word. Gillian’s face turned pale, and her lips quivered; her face almost turned as white as a sheet, as if it had been com
All this while, Gillian believed the Albrecht family sincerely cared for Augustus. Due to that reason, she had always respected the family from the bottom of her heart, thinking that if it were another family, they would have deserted Augustus and stolen all his possessions. Gillian had always believed that Renata hated her because Renata believed that Gillian was too low for Augustus, but now Gillian can’t help but rethink. Seeing Calista’s act, Gillian can’t help thinking that the Albrecht's care for Augustus seems to be fake. Augustus was upstairs, silently suffering in pain due to hunger, while they all sat in the dining room, none of them worried about his absence. If Gillian hadn’t brought Augustus out, would they even remember him? What if Gillian wasn’t present? Would Augustus have gone through such pain silently until the next morning? No wonder Augustus had stomach issues. Gillian felt that she was stupid. Even Willa Arison was antagonizing her for a reason that includ
In a dark room, an aloof and impeccably handsome man leaned against the chair majestically. A cold and authoritative aura exuded from him, giving one the urge to subconsciously want to bow to him. He’s in a tailor-made black suit that accentuates his cold bearing, and a dark mark runs from beneath his eyes down to his chin. The mysterious man leaned forward; his enigmatic blue eyes fell on Axel, who bowed respectfully. Beneath the cold mask, his blue eyes shone with contempt. “What did you think of Augustus’ new wife?” He inquired Axel’s eyes fell on the man cautiously, as if wondering why the person was asking about Gillian. Despite his curiosity, he suppresses them and carefully tries to recall the scene of how Gillian tried to stand up for Augustus. The more he recalled, the more Axel couldn't help thinking that Gillian truly cared for Augustus. He lowered his head. “I think she cares for him,” he obediently responded. The man lazily arched his brows and sneered di
Gillian’s heart pangs as her eyes land on her files, which have clung together due to the coffee poured on them. She had never wronged them, but they wanted to kill her. Gillian couldn’t help recollecting the missing files; she wondered if Willa and Luke had thrown them into the garbage can just to ridicule her. The recollection of everything made Gillian bob with fury. Gillian was afraid that she'd be consumed by so much anger that she'd end up doing whatever she didn’t want to due to a fit of anger, so she exhaled and bit her lower lip to suppress it. Gillian gently began to clean the footprints and coffee stains from her things. Although Gillian tried to hold back her tears, they still couldn’t help trickling past her eyes to land on the table. Her lips quivered, and she raised her hand to wipe them away. Gillian gently spread each file on the table to make them dry out and straighten properly. As soon as Gillian was done, she strode to the bathroom to take her bath
Gillian’s face was pale; her lips quivered as she trudged towards the ward, sad tears shimmering in her eyes. Whenever Gillian thought the Arison family had done enough cruelty to her, that's when she discovered that they could be more cruel to her. Gillian swayed, and she almost fell if it weren’t for the wall behind her. She facepalmed herself, and her shoulder trembled, low sobs spilling past her lips often. Why is the Arison family always cruel? Why is Mr. Roger always cruel to her and her mother? If it weren’t for Mr. Roger, her mom would have been a happily married woman, wouldn't she? And Gillian won’t be her mom and Mr. Roger’s child, right? Yet he’s still cruel to her mom and her! Does he even have a heart? After a few minutes, Gillian wiped her face and lowered her hand to reveal limpid, moist eyes and a red nose. Her damp eyelashes fluttered sadly. Gillian took a deep breath and took out a handkerchief. She carefully used it to wipe her face without missing a
Upon seeing the tears slip past Willa’s eyes and hearing Willa’s explanation, Luke's expression darkened with gloom. Gillian, that vile vixen! Not only did Gillian ‘beat up’ Willa until Willa ended up in the hospital, but Gillian still dared to slap Willa again. Willa is very kind-hearted, unlike other socialites. How many legitimate daughters will accept their father’s illegitimate daughter? Moreover, how many legitimate daughters care about the fate of their mistresses? Despite Wiilla's care, Gillian still dares to be very ungrateful. How can Luke not be infuriated? Luke extended his hands and wrapped Willa in a gentle hug as if to protect her from Gillian. He glared at Gillian with hatred and contempt written in his eyes while thinking that he must have been blind to approach Gillian in the past. Gillian is very heartless. “Gillian, Willa came to see your mom; is that the right attitude you should have? How can you be so selfish and heartless…” Gillian’s face turned cold,
. 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
