By the time Gillian and Augustus were done eating the meal prepared by Gillian, Zenaida, Renata, and Calista were long gone. A thought suddenly pervaded Gillian's mind, and she cocked her head. The duo had just eaten, and returning to the bedroom is the same as doing the same daily cycle, which will not help Augustus improve and heal quickly. The both of them can just walk around the mansion to aid digestion while sightseeing at the same time. “Butler Leo, can I bring the young master around the mansion?” Gillian stood up and raised her brows while staring at butler Leo in curiosity. Since Gillian didn’t know how much restriction was placed on Augustus’ movement, she chose to confirm first with Butler Leo in order to avoid Renata and Calista's lash-out. Butler Leo bowed to Gillian and carefully responded, “Yes, young madam; as long as the young master isn’t taken out of the residence, bringing the young master around is fine.” Butler Leo straightened his back, and hi
“Professor Norviel. Professor Norviel. Please wait.” A tiny and sweet, docile tone hurriedly called behind Norviel, the person's heels clinking against the floor softly. Upon seeing Norviel pause in his tracks, Willa’s eyes flickered with joy, and she quickly hurried toward Norviel before stopping right in front of him. Standing in front of Norviel, Willa's face flushed red, and her lips beautifully parted in a gasp, her chest heaving and falling heavily. Willa's hand held a beautiful paper bag that contained an exquisite lunch box filled with delicacies. Willa bowed to Norviel elegantly before raising her paper bag toward Norviel while sneaking glances at him. She conveyed in a sweet and demure, docile tone, “Willa spent hours making this for Professor Norviel. Please don’t laugh at Willa's skill.” Willa tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and smiled coquettishly, her eyelashes fluttering beautifully. A smile that didn't reach the eyes immediately appeared on Nor
Suddenly, Norviel's eyes flickered, but in the next moment, his eyes became detached, making one think that it was just one illusion. His eyes filled with the woman’s face. Immediately, Norviel’s right hand fell on her hair ambiguously, and his lips curved up in a fond smirk. His head lowered, his eyes meeting Gillian’s eyes. “Is it due to that husband of yours? You have so much ambition… Settling for a retard, is he going to care about you?” He questioned, yet his usually cold voice had gentleness laced to it if one listened carefully. Gillian’s expression changed, and she glared at Norviel coldly. Retarded husband this. Retarded husband that. She wondered if Norviel had approached her in the first place just to lower her guard and know more about Augustus. She smacked Norviel’s hand away from her hair and glared at him coldly. “Enough! Shut up already.” Gillian scowled and immediately stormed out of Norviel’s office, her body Due to her aggressive actions, her body coll
Gillian stepped out of the teacher’s quarters, her gaze extremely calm, her mood surreal, and her whole person glowing. Even though Gillian had just done a simple thing like kicking Norviel, that bastard, in the crotch, it filled Gillian up with an inexplicable sense of joy. Norviel, that bastard, had always made Gillian eat a loss every time. Paying him back like this makes her feel extremely good. Well, when Gillian comes across Willa next time, she'll have to thank Willa for giving her such a rare opportunity to pay that cynical bastard in his coin. “Gillian. Gillian. Wait.” A tiny and cute pant sounded, the owner of the voice running toward Gillian while panting heavily. Ellie paused in front of Gillian, her chest heaving and falling heavily while her face exceptionally red, her lips parted in a gasp. Ellie bit her lower lip and blinked her eyelashes anxiously. “Gillian, have you seen the news? The news said you and Professor Norviel had something to do with each other
Zenaida’s jaw clenched, and she subtly gnashed her teeth together. Isn't Gillian restrained from Augustus? How come Gillian was able to step into Augustus’ office without a hitch? Despite the thoughts coursing through Zenaida’s mind, she straightened her back, faked a calm smile, and calmly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “Miss Gillian. It's a misunderstanding.” She clarified A cold smile immediately crept onto Gillian's face, and she glared at Zenaida coldly. Every time, this bitch had always acted as if she cared about Augustus. It turns out that she was nothing but a sly bitch. Gillian’s respect for Zenaida immediately diffused without a trace. Gillian folded her arms and coldly retorted, “Miss Zenaida, you claim that this was a misunderstanding; can you repeat the word if the CCTV footage is…” Upon hearing Gillian’s cold and righteous words, Zenaida's expression turned cold, and the calm expression she had dissipated to the wind. She leaned forward wit
It hurts. It hurt so much it was as if her body had been ripped apart. Her head throbbed a lot. A bout of agonizing pain coursed through Gillian's body, from hair to toe. It was as if Gillian had done something extremely strenuous the day before. The pain was overwhelming, so much so that Gillian broke into a sweat. She hissed in pain. Even her nails seemed to hurt. It. Ah. It hurts. It hurts a lot. Especially down there. Her skin also seemed to have been exceptionally bitten and nibbled. Gillian was extremely sure that she did nothing intense the day before except that she only went to the club to drink after experiencing Renata… Wait. Gillian's eyes flew wide open in horror. That's right. In the club… she didn't return to the mansion… It can't be… She and a stranger... Gillian suddenly froze upon feeling a muscular hand lingering on her waist casually, the owner of the hand stroking her waist. Due to the slow and sensual actions, it could be seen that the person
Willa gnashed her teeth together, her veins pulsing in her neck, her chest heaving and falling heavily and her face exceptionally reddened due to indignation. Willa’s fingers hovered over the upload button, but regardless of how much she tapped on the upload, it wouldn’t. Unable to take it anymore, in a fit of rage, Willa raised her phone in the air and slammed it on the floor. Willa walked toward the falling phone, raised her feet, and stomped on the phone repeatedly, her body trembling in indignation. Soon, cracks appeared on the phone’s screen, and in a few seconds, the new phone soon became the opposite. Nevertheless, it wasn’t enough to relieve her overwhelming anger. It wasn’t! Willa suddenly paused and walked toward her skincare section. She extended her hand and fiercely swept everything onto the floor, causing a crashing sound to resound in the room. Willa stomped her feet on the floor in indignation. Gillian, that bitch. Gillian, that bitch. How can her
There’s no yelling, imploring, or argument Gillain raised to change that bastard’s mind; it was all for naught. The bastard was indifferent and decisive to the end! Norviel even went as far as asking Gillian if she was indebted to Augustus because of his care for her mother. To prove his sincerity and show his care, Norviel promised to sponsor her mom's treatment, fly her mom to the best hospital in the world so her mom would wake from her coma quickly, help Gillian’s career, and pay the Arison family in folds. It could be said that the cynical bastard had certainly known all her weaknesses and tried to utilize them for himself. Yet, Gillian’s feelings for Augustus were never about the debt. Her heart already fell in love before she could realize it! Upon seeing that it was past 5:00 pm, Gillian’s heart skipped a beat, and she snapped out of her thoughts. She left the Albrecht family the night before without seeing Augustus’ state, she has to go check on him! Gillian wil
“I have to visit Gillian at the hospital. Calista, hurry up and pack up," Renata conveyed. Her voice was so filled with anxiety that if one didn't know better, one would believe that Renata and Gillian had a very good relationship.“Yes, Mom,” Calista nodded her head and picked up a woolen white scarf, which she wrapped around her neck.Calista picked up her phone and bag and followed Renata out.Calista suddenly paused in her tracks and instructed Butler Leo, "Butler Leo, we will be back soon, so do not shut the door.""Ah, yes, Miss," Butler Leo responded with a bow and straightened his back.Immediately, Calista and Renata got into the car.Soon, the car drove out of the compound.In an inconspicuous part of the mansion, a team of six assassins suddenly appeared without making a sound or drawing attention.They were in black outfits, and their faces were covered in masks, effortlessly blending into the background.They expertly held their silenced weapons and fluidly moved around t
“Gillian.” Roger Arison stepped into the ward and perfunctorily made his way toward the table where the flowers and gifts were placed. He placed the flowers and basket of gifts he had carried along on the table, no traces of concern for Gillian in his eyes.If it wasn’t that not coming to visit Gillian would spark a reaction, he’d definitely not have come to see this cocky wench who ruined his years of hard work. Hmph.But thinking about it, if Gillian hadn’t had an accident, would Willa be capable of using pity to win netizens' hearts and increase the stock price? No.And it was all because of this that Roger had visited Gillian.By showing affection, hopefully, he’d be able to win netizens' hearts and also increase the stock price.As long as there’s an increment, Roger's company situation will turn around, and he’ll definitely be able to win investors again and find partnerships.Upon seeing Irie, who was currently going through her phone while grinning from ear to ear and leisurel
A thin and pretty nurse gently pushed her medical cart toward Gillian's ward. Upon seeing the Albrecht guard, her eyes sparkled with sweetness, no sign of fear or nervousness in them. She gently reported, “It's time for Miss Gillian's treatment.” The Albrecht guard watching over Gillian’s ward immediately eyed the nurse from head to toe, unfazed by her sweet nature. Upon seeing the guard's glance, the nurse suddenly recalled something. She blinked her eyes innocently, smiled sweetly, and explained, “Doctor Ren had an emergency case to attend to, so he sent me to check up on and treat Miss Gillian in his place.” Upon seeing the guard staring at her quietly, her stomach flipped from petrification, yet she tried to appear calm. The nurse tightened her hold on her cart and hurriedly spoke up, “Miss Gillian's issue is urgent. The more we delay, the higher the risk…” “Where's your card?” The Albrecht guard suddenly retracted his gaze and interrupted in a gruff voice, completely unf
The incessant buzzing of Luke's phone made his face wrinkle, and he let out a groan.His hand drowsily reached out for his phone, and he picked it up. He sighed and reluctantly opened his eyes before unlocking his phone to go through it.Soon, Luke realized that he was being tagged on social media.Since Luke and Gillian had once had a relationship in the past, of course, the netizens weren't willing to let Luke go, so they had tagged him, wanting to see his response.Soon, the drowsy expression on Luke’s face disappeared, and he abruptly sat up due to shock. “Gillian had an accident last night?” he pronounced, talking to no one.Immediately, Luke pushed off the blanket from his body and abruptly stood up, revealing his toned and naked body.Upon hearing Luke's words, Ivy's eyes flew wide, and her expression immediately became twisted.She abruptly sat up, causing the blanket on her body to fall, revealing the bite marks left by Luke the previous night.Her hands immediately stretched
A certain news and live broadcast suddenly took over the whole internet by storm that early morning, breaking the internet and shocking netizens.Willa had gone to a temple early at dawn just to pray for Gillian’s recovery. How could the netizens not be shocked?As if that wasn’t enough, Willa even went to donate things to orphans and the needy, as if hoping that such donations would soften heaven’s heart and help give Gillian a speedy recovery.All the media channels that broadcasted this live instantly had a surge of views and endless gifts and comments from fans.At that moment, the netizens couldn’t help being exceptionally touched.They felt that even though Willa had treated Gillian badly in the past, she deserved to be forgiven.After all, who hasn’t made a mistake at some point?The netizens even mentioned that a sweet family couldn’t go without having enmity at some point—otherwise, how would the bond be sweet?Some netizens even commented that they had done worse to their fa
"I got it, Dad. I've sent the details in the files to your mail," Zenaida conveyed to the person at the other end of the call, unable to contain the excitement in her system.Upon hearing this, the voice of the person at the other end of the phone softened, and he praised her. "You've done well, Zenaida. You have done the whole family proud. This time, it's not only Father that owes you; the whole family does. Think of what you want. When you return, you can ask for whatever reward, and Dad will give it to you," he said, his voice laced with sincerity and softness.Upon hearing this, Zenaida's eyes lit up, and her face broke into a sweet smile; her heart began to race, and her thoughts began to spin while thinking of what she could ask as a reward."Thank you, Dad." Regardless of the joy coursing through her, Zenaida steadied her voice and calmly responded.Hearing Zenaida’s calm voice made the man hum in approval. He continued, “You've proven yourself capable enough to take over the
“Gillian, hurry up and open your eyes. You can’t just sleep like this. Hurry up.”Immediately, Willa burst into tears that resounded in the silent ward.Willa wrapped her hands around the comatose Gillian's hand and rested her head next to Gillian, her teary face buried in Gillian’s bed, wetting the bedsheets.Willa's body shook, her eyes red and swollen, her lips quivering, and her body trembling.With Willa's tears and pity-evoking actions, anyone who came across the scene would definitely be touched and believe that Willa and Gillian had a very close relationship with each other.However, one of these people didn’t include Scott.Hearing Willa's endless loud and dramatic wails made Scott very frustrated.The ward was supposed to be quiet, yet ever since Willa stepped into it, it was the total opposite.Scott had to use all his strength to suppress his urge to throw Willa out. Rather, Scott chose to walk out of the ward, wanting Willa to leave before he stepped back in.At this poin
“Gillian had a serious accident?” Upon seeing the news and pictures on social media, Willa abruptly sat up and stopped scrolling, completely ignoring the pain coursing through her. Suddenly, Willa's face broke into a smile, and her body shook with excitement. She felt that this was the best news she had received in a while. Suddenly, Willa's expression changed, and she scowled. “That bitch should have just died.” It'd really have been better if Gillian, that slut, had just died directly—but, well... Willa calmed down. Upon seeing that the incident left them battling for their lives and the accident left no one conscious, Willa felt that this was still better. Especially at such a time when Gillian was about to take over the Albrecht family. Seeing the news post about Gillian taking over the Albrecht company as CEO was enough to plunge Willa’s mood and make her feel sick. That Gillian bitch was just an illegitimate daughter and born out of wedlock. Also, Gillian wasn't born as a
The night was dark and beautiful, and the breeze was gentle enough to put a smile on one's face; the moon shone, and the streetlights lit up the dark city.Except that even though the night was beautiful, the scene at the intersection was far from beautiful.The impact of being slammed by the truck left the car metal screeching, shattered the car glass, and left the headlights flashing.Gillian's body jerked forward due to the force, her head collided with the window edge, and her hand went limp by her side. The shards of window glass and flying debris pierced her skin.Blood oozed from Gillian’s forehead and trailed from her temple down to her jawline, soaking into her suit.Smoke began to rise, and an acrid smell filled the air, polluting the fresh air.The driver's head slumped against the wheel, lifeless, while the guard sitting at the co-driver's seat coughed and tried to regain his consciousness.The guard reached out toward the door despite his weak state, instinctively wanting
