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
Augustus' hand flew to his cheeks, his eyes widened, and his lips parted in shock. “Gi. Gillian. Wife.” His eyes fell on her, completely stunned and confused by what had just happened. Gillian’s eyes squinted, and she sneered, her expression turning cold. Hilarious. So hilarious. The world seems to have gone crazy. She must have gone crazy! How could she not realize it all this while? It has always been obvious. Gillian’s cold eyes eyed Augustus, her expression very gloomy. “Are you ready to come clean, young master Augustus?” She questioned, her voice and expression frigid. Augustus’ brows knitted as if trying to process Gillian’s words, but in the next second, his eyes pooled with tears and his expression became helpless. He cautiously stretched out his hands toward Gillian… Gillian gnashed her teeth together, and she extended her hand to grab Augustus by the collar, her raging eyes directly meeting with Augustus's. Gillain smacked her lips together and glared at August
. ‘Ah. It hurts. Really hurts a lot.’ Gillian moaned painfully and slowly opened her eyes, the thought of how the day before ended pervading her mind. In the next second, Gillain gnashed her teeth together. She felt that she had mistaken a wolf for a sheep. How is Augustus an innocent and pure retard? He’s definitely a sheep in wolf's clothing! Gillian couldn’t just understand how the aloof and ruthless cold Augustus was able to perfect the retard role. At this point, even the film emperor award isn’t worthy of his acting. Recalling how pure Augustus always looked and how his teary eyes always moved and deceived her, after seeing his lustful expression from the day before, Gillian really felt like strangling this lustful man. He’s too scheming and tricky! Gillian wanted to scream and shake him while asking where was her pure Augustus. Can he return him to her already? Under someone’s monstrous stamina, Gillian could only scream until she fainted late in the night… The
Gillian’s face flushed red so much that it was as if squeezing it would drip blood, her whole person soft and her blushing face buried in Augustus’s ripped chest. Gillian’s eyes clouded with tears upon recalling all that happened earlier. Although she tried to kick Augustus out of the bathroom, this stubborn person refused to budge a bit and persistently bathed her. Although Augustus was calm this time and didn’t press her down, his hands kept running around her body, and he kept teasing her so much that her face couldn’t help flushing due to his actions. Augustus’s lips curved up in satisfaction, and his eyes on the blushing woman turned gentle. He carefully placed Gillian on the bed, placed a kiss on her forehead, and carefully tucked her into the blanket. “I’ll be back.” He conveyed, caressed her hair endearingly, and straightened his back. Although Augustus didn’t say more than that, Gillian understood that Augustus planned to return to his bedroom and change into a pr
Augustus’s hand hovered over the end call button and he ruthlessly cut off the call. His eyes flickered with a ruthless glint and an indecipherable glint flickered past his eyes. But in the next minute, he straightened his back and his eyes regained their calm. Augustus threw his phone into his pocket and strode out of the room at a long and fast pace. “Augustus.” Upon seeing Augustus step out of his room, Zenaida smiled sweetly and began to approach Augustus while swaying her hips beautifully, her voice soft and demure. Her eyes flashed, yet she suppressed the glints and instead extended her hand to take ahold of Augustus's hand. The cold and frigid, piercing eyes filled with killing intent that instantly landed on Zenaida made her freeze with fear. Zenaida unconsciously gulped and took a step back. Scary. Augustus is truly scary. If she hadn't known better, she would definitely think that he had already gotten better. However, Augustus had always been aloof and ruthle
“Let go, Ivy,” Mr. Smith sighed and tried to pull the girl away from Gillian, but the little girl vehemently refused and clung to Gillian firmly.Ivy's hands were tightly hooked around Gillian's neck, and her legs were locked tightly around Gillian’s waist. No matter how her father tried to separate her from Gillian, she wouldn’t let go at all.Even though Gillian had taken Ivy to play for over two hours, Ivy hadn’t had enough and really wanted to keep having fun with Gillian.She rested her head on Gillian’s shoulder and cried out pitifully, “Big sister, you won’t forget Ivy, will you? You will take Ivy out soon, won’t you?”Gillian smiled and carefully patted the little girl's back, finding her actions very cute. She coaxed and proclaimed sincerely, “Big sister won’t forget Ivy, okay? Big sister will visit your home to play with you soon, okay?”Suddenly, Gillian took out her phone and handed her number over to Mr. Smith. “Here’s my number in case Ivy wants to talk to me.”Gillian p
"How dare that Gillian bitch!” Renata bellowed and gnashed her teeth, her face completely red and her body shaking with indignation and hatred. With a wave of her hands, Renata swept the neatly arranged items on the table onto the floor, causing a crashing sound that resounded in the office. Renata paced around the office, her face completely red with indignation. “I have waited and planned for this day my whole life. How could that illegitimate bitch from nowhere take over the position? That bitch! I really want to kill her,” Renata seethed, her eyes flashing with overwhelming hatred. Renata paused in her tracks, stood straight, and her chest heaved and fell heavily as she gasped for breath. How much work had she put in? Those times when she could only stay in the background… Those times when she wasn’t worth mentioning in front of investors… Those times when she was looked down on… Those times when she could only cry in silence. But because of Gillian, she was about to fad
“Ever since the Albrecht Company was established, it has been led by different CEOs. Although each of them made significant contributions and pushed the company forward, the most remarkable among them was the former CEO, Augustus Albrecht.Unfortunately, CEO Augustus encountered an unfortunate event that changed everything.It was all thanks to the former CEO that the Albrecht Company transformed from a national company into an international empire with numerous branches.Today, we are all gathered here because we are here to choose a temporary CEO for the CEO’s position.For over two years, the company has broken protocol by leaving the CEO position vacant because we believed in our former CEO. However, we are now making a change by appointing an acting CEO to lead the company until the CEO recovers.For this position, we have Mr. Scott Albrecht, an honor student with a perfect academic record. His years spent abroad have greatly contributed to the company’s international success. Mr
“Young master, Ivie is doing fine,” Gillian exclaimed and pushed the door to Augustus’s study.Gillian’s eyes shone, and her expression brightened, clearly showing that her sadness had already decreased after seeing Ivie’s state being much better than before.Augustus dropped the document he was focusing on, stretched his hands out, and motioned for Gillian to come to him. “Come here.” He leaned back and commanded.Gillian ran toward Augustus obediently and sat on his lap. She hooked her hands around his neck and placed a loud kiss on his cheek. “Young master, how’s work?”Augustus’s lips curved up in response; just seeing the woman’s face was more than enough to clear away all the weariness from his soul. Suddenly, Augustus picked up a file and placed it in front of Gillian.Augustus took his pen and handed it to Gillian, “Sign it.” He nudged while pointing at a certain part of the document.Without hesitation, Gillian collected the pen and signed the spot Augustus ordered her to.Up
It was early at dawn that Gillian roused up from sleep. She furrowed her brows and tried to recall the memories of the previous day.Immediately, Augustus placed his hand on Gillian’s forehead to check her temperature. Upon seeing that she was fine, he exhaled in relief. “Are you okay?”Due to Gillian’s repeated nightmares, Augustus ended up having to summon Perez in the middle of the night. The pitiful Perez ended up having to stay the night at the Albrecht mansion.Gillian snuggled in Augustus’ embrace and grabbed Augustus’ hand tightly. Her body trembled, and she cried out, filled with self-blame.Only if Gillian had snapped out of it quickly, Ivie wouldn’t have had to sacrifice her life to push Gillian. “Young master, it’s so scary. I was so scared. Only if I hadn’t frozen. Only if…”Before Gillian could complete her words, Augustus grabbed her chin with his index finger and thumb. He leaned closer and captured her lips in a fierce kiss.The driver was out to kill Gillian. Even if
“Irie.” Irie’s grandmother stepped into the hospital and cried out anxiously while holding her chest. Her eyes were extremely red as if she had been crying. Upon seeing the pale Gillian, Irie’s grandmother hurried toward her and hugged her tightly. “Gillian, how is Irie? What did the doctor say about Irie?” she inquired in a shaky voice, her body trembling slightly. Gillian’s body trembled, and her lips quivered, her eyes exceptionally red. She could only let out two words, her eyes fixated on Irie’s ward, “Grandma, Irie. Irie.” “Irie.” An older and anxious masculine voice suddenly sounded. Upon seeing Gillian, Irie’s father’s eyes turned cold, and he chided her in fury, “My daughter risked her life for such a type of person? When you got together with your father, you didn’t hesitate to dump my daughter…” Upon hearing Irie’s father’s words, Gillian could only lower her head and accept his chiding. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” A guard immediately stepped forward to shield Gillia
Mr. Lewis and Gillian stepped out of the company as soon as Gillian wrapped up her shoot. Mr. Lewis' eyes fell on Gillian; his eyes filled with sincere admiration for Gillian. Gillian is so professional that she can compete with A-list models when it comes to her modeling skills. He hadn't expected her to have such huge skills despite that her course was switched!"Miss Gillian, you are so impressive. Originally, I expected the shoot to be given more days due to the delay. I didn't expect that you'd complete the shoot faster instead!" Mr. Lewis praisedUpon hearing this, Gillian smiled calmly and neatly arranged her hair. "Thank you for the praise..." Before she could complete her statement, Gillian's phone suddenly rang, putting a pause to her words. Gillian quickly took out her phone to check the caller—Irie.Upon seeing the caller, Gillian's face broke into a smile, and she bowed to Mr. Lewis before bidding him goodbye. Immediately, Gillian entered the call; she picked up Irie
Suddenly, Gillian chuckled in mockery, her voice filled with disdain. "Everyone has always praised Miss Zenaida for being an innocent and elegant woman. If your fans know that you're shamelessly throwing yourself at a married man and daring to stay in his matrimonial mansion. I think they'll be disappointed." Gillian said straightforwardly."You..." Zenaida could only say that word, her tongue completely tied due to rage. Her face alternated between red and green, and her body trembled in rage. This Gillian bitch!"Nonsense!" Renata, who had just entered the mansion, yelled upon hearing Gillian's words. She pointed her fingers at Gillan. "You bitch! You're just an ordinary maid; how dare you give orders in this mansion?" Gillian's lips curved up, and she turned to Renata, an unwavering determination and fierceness in her eyes. She calmly responded, "As the young madam of the Albrecht mansion, if I can't even give orders in the Albrecht mansion, isn't my position pretty useless?"This
“Isn’t it just to take a file from that retard's office? Can’t you do such a simple thing anymore? When did you become so useless?" A thick, masculine voice boomed from the other end of the phone; the person's voice was filled with fury. Upon hearing the furious voice, Zenaida can only lower her head. She spoke in a patient, coaxing, and soft voice while her eyes were completely overwhelmed with hatred, “Dad, I have yet to find that file in Augustus’ office before that Gillian bitch interrupts me. Since that incident, the security of Augustus' office has become tight. Except for Augustus, no one else can step into Augustus' office. I really want to kill that Gillian bitch.” Zenaida finalized while gnashing her teeth together in hatred.Upon hearing this, the man at the other end of the phone snorted coldly. “You have mentioned Gillian a thousand times; is she a reason for an excuse now? If you can't even handle a country bum anymore, then what can you even do?" He chided coldly.His
