Gillian's eyes fell on Augustus, who slept off after a few minutes of running her hands through his hair. Gillian had made Augustus a dessert and prepared one of the healthy herbal teas she bought for Augustus before suggesting that the both of them play a game of Scrabble. But after a few minutes into the game, Gillian realized that she had made the worst decision ever. How could she think she could win against a grandmaster genius like Augustus in a game of Scrabble? After playing the first round with her getting a huge whooping loss, Gillian immediately turned away from the game in grief, feeling that she was an ordinary person compared to Augustus. The innocent Augustus only stared at Gillian in cluelessness, and in one way or another, she eventually found herself rubbing his hair since she never settled her debt completely. Upon thinking about the memory, Gillian's lips unconsciously rose. At first, when things with Luke happened, Gillian thought it wouldn't be easy
After a few seconds of crying, Gillian comforted herself and tried to look on the bright side. She stood up and decided to solve her mom's issue first. “This is beautiful. I love this too. Mom, I’m getting this.” Calista gushes in a voice filled with excitement. As soon as Gillian descended the stairs, she saw Renata and Calista sitting next to each other with an expensive jewelry set made with rare gems on their hands. Next to them were three or more jewelry sets. Opposite the mother-and-daughter duo was a designer for a famous jewelry company. It was obvious that the mother-daughter duo wanted to purchase a set of jewelry. Gillian decided to sit in the dining chair until the mother-daughter duo was done, but before she could take a step forward, Renata casually lifted her hand and made a palm sign, signifying that Gillian should stop. Renata stood up after silently telling the designer and Calista that she'd be back. Immediately, she used her finger to signify to Gillia
‘Miss Gillian, the patient has been successfully transferred to Medical Globe Hospital, and a coma stimulation program has already been prepared for the patient. Please come over and sign the documents at the hospital as the patient’s guide.’ Upon hearing this, Gillian froze slightly as if trying to process the word she had just heard, but in the next minute her eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up in joy due to agitation. Gillian’s face broke into a wide grin, and she pumped her hands in the air. Her mother had been transferred. Yes, her mom had been transferred! Last night, after Gillian completed the chores Renata gave her, she tried to meet with Renata, but the guard informed her that Renata had already retired for the night. The response made Gillian so anxious, but she comforted herself and tried to push everything until the next day. Despite that, Gillian wasn’t able to sleep easily due to the chaotic thoughts that pervaded her mind. Although Gillian did everything R
Upon receiving Augustus’ response, Gillian exhaled in relief and unlocked the phone. Immediately she tapped on the phone app and searched for Axel’s name. The instant she found Axel's contact, she dialed Axel's number. Within the first dial, Axel picked it up. “Boss,” Axel's calm voice immediately drifted from the other end of the phone. “I’m sorry for disturbing you so early, assistant Axel.” Gillian’s calm voice drifted into the phone. Upon hearing Gillian's voice, Axel was stunned, and he quickly took the phone from his ear. To confirm that he wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating, he checked the number, and indeed he saw that Gillian was calling with Augustus' number. Axel's eyes flashed, and his eyes widened slightly. He can’t help thinking that the young master is really courting trouble. How could the young master simply give his phone to a stranger? So what if Gillian seems sincere? It was too early to know if Gillian was being sincere or fake. Despite the multiple t
‘Mr. Roger, the patient had been evacuated from the hospital under the Augustus family's order.’ Upon hearing the doctor's report, Roger Arison’s eyes flashed with fury and his fist clenched. Gillian, that bitch! How dare Gillian, that vixen, use the Albrecht family to do her bidding? Luckily, Roger has been so smart to make Gillian do his heading beforehand, or that would have been how he would have lost in both ways. Despite the fury surging through his face and system, none of them were revealed in his voice. Roger donned a serious expression and responded in a steady voice. “I know; we already talked about it before they took her,” Roger responded calmly, his response making him appear powerful and not making it seem as if the Albrecht family had taken Gillian's mother without his permission. After all, that will paint him as a powerless person. As soon as he conveyed his words, Roger cut off the call with a calm expression on his face. Well, it doesn't matter i
Gillian's eyes moistened and her body trembled with mixed emotions; her eyes landed on her mom, who was currently receiving treatment at a VVIP ward in Medical Globe Hospital, and a rueful smile appeared on her face. She never expected it, but... It turns out that she'll still see her mom receiving treatment. Especially so soon. Suddenly, Gillian's hand balled into a fist, her jaw clenched, and her eyes flashed with hatred upon recalling her conversation with the doctor. ‘Gillian, you know how serious your mom's condition is; how can you deny your mom from receiving treatment for so long? Not only is her treatment sparse, but the quality of your mom's treatment is also cheap. Luckily, your mom was transferred to the medical globe, or else you might have lost your mother in less than a week.’ The doctor's words shocked Gillian so much that she couldn't break down and explain everything to the doctor. The doctor had been so infuriated with Gillian’s explanation that she demande
Gillian unlocked the door, pushed it, and carefully made her way into the apartment that housed her and her mom’s beautiful memories. Gillian swept her eyes around the cottage, and sad tears pooled in her eyes. She'd rather be a carefree young girl who only called for mom rather than the current her. It wasn't easy. Not at all. It hurts. It hurts a lot. So painful. Although Gillian had tried to stay independent, nonchalant, and lock up her emotions, still it hurt. Gillian had watched the man she planned her future with betray her and choose her sister over her. As if that wasn't enough, Gillian watched her father cruelly switch her for her sister. Moreover, she was also threatened with her mom’s life to marry a retard, and she also watches her mom almost lose her life. The more Gillian thought of those painful memories, the more sadness that piled up in her heart, making it hurt. Gillian’s body trembled, and she collapsed on the couch, the pain in her heart overwhelmed
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
. 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
