Gillian’s lips parted in shock. She was so shocked that she froze for a few seconds. Apart from being famously known as retarded handicap, Augustus Albrecht was rumored to have had his face injured due to the accident, resulting in him being ugly beyond words. It was even rumored that Augustus had to go around in a mask so he wouldn't disgust people with his face. However, now that Gillian was right in front of Augustus, she really wished for nothing but to give a slap to whoever spread such crazy news. If Augustus is termed ugly, then no man can step forward to claim he is handsome. Although Luke was among the top 10 most handsome men in the country compared to Augustus, Gillian will brazenly reply that Luke is trash compared to Augustus. Gillian clenched her fist and snapped out of it. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as she took it to be. Perhaps this was the best way to break away from Arison's control. Thinking about the Arison family made Gillian gnash her teeth in h
The driver sleekly drove the car deeper into the city, as if he were driving the car out of the city. Soon, the car sleekly drove into the Imperial Estate, which was famously known as one of the most expensive estates. The cost of the cheapest mansion in the estate starts from 8-round figures. Inside Albrecht's mansion compound were thick green trees adorning the right and left sides of the road. Although the forest looked extremely beautiful from any view, only when one stepped into it would one realize its hoarding of so many dangerous wild animals. As the car drove down, a tranquil and clear river immediately appeared in view, but through the use of a bridge, the river was bypassed easily. A bed of flowers soon appeared in view, and the car bypassed after some minutes. After bypassing different scenes, the car sleekly drove into the mansion’s park before it came to a stop. “Young Miss Gillian, we are here.” The driver announced to Gillian as soon as the car came to
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. Seeing Gillian, the maid ga
‘Younger sister, how can you...’ The video that was being played on the lady's phone before Gillan stepped into the greenhouse was abruptly cut off. Hearing Willa's words that drifted from the phone speaker, the contempt in the greenhouse thickened. Gillian trembled, and her pale face became paler, understanding that the episode of her wedding had gone viral on social media. Even though she was never at fault, nobody will pay a mind to an illegitimate daughter like her after all of Willa's schemes. Gillian didn't even want to imagine how the netizens would trash her while hyping Willa on every social media platform! Gillian clenched her fist upon hearing the beautiful lady's humiliating words. Gillian had told the old maid to let her get a change of clothes because of an embarrassing situation like what had just happened. However, the old maid ended up making fun of her and even going as far as scolding her before cruelly rejecting her. Seeing the beautiful youn
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. The two maids respectfully bowed as soon as they stepped into the greenhouse. “Master, Madam, Miss.” The maids bowed and greeted each other respectfully. Calista ignored their greetings and leaned back in the chair. “Both of you bypassed Emma and Miss Gillian when they were both arguing earlier, didn't you? What do you hear?” She asked straightforwardly, her gaze not bothering to fall on the two. The two maids exchanged glances before their gazes fell on Gillian and Em
Gillian’s shoulder dropped downheartedly as she made her way towards her assigned room. The thought of how everyone in the Albrecht family didn’t welcome her because of the scandal that filled the internet made her heart stung with pain. Upon recalling how her life was when her mother was still alive, a rueful smile appeared on her face. Back when her mom was not comatose, Gillian's daily life was always filled with joy, and she lived like a fulfilled princess with no knowledge of a word called worries. Only when her mom was alive, did she have a home, but... Ever since the hit-and-run accident that left her mom in a comatose state a decade ago, Gillian has lost her home, freedom, and happiness. Nobody stood by Gillian anymore, and the person who promised to stand by her ended up giving her the biggest blow. The thought of Luke’s betrayal stung her heart, causing tears to well in her eyes. It felt as if her heart was being clenched, making it very suffocating and painful
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. Gillian finally understood that the reason that old hag kept glaring at Gillian as if Gillian had stolen Emma's precious treasure—if she ever had one in her life—was all because that old hag Emma had a daughter interested in Augustus. And doing all those schemes was revenge for snatching Augustus! Gillian shook her head, finding everything hilarious! She was also a victim in the first place! How much did she prepare for days like this? How did it end? Gillian understood that bullies like Phoebe and Willa will do everything to attract attention, and whenever one doesn't pay them any attention, it makes them despair! Gillian understood that for days, weeks, or months to come, Wil
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. Whether it was being done secretly or not, Gillian was yet to know. Soon she’ll find out! She secretly clenched her fist and inwardly promised. Gillian quickly, albeit gently, tried to cup Augustus’ cheeks to make him look at her in order to explain to him and comfort him. However, he stubbornly looked down and continued crying, making Gillian’s heart ache more on his behalf. Had Gillian known Augustus would react intensely like this, she'd never have rejected him. But what was she to do? She couldn’t bear the thought of tricking and using him like many oth
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
