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 strode towards her car, her eyes unfocused and distant, conflicts clear on her facial expression, her body trembling. She took a deep breath and exhaled softly to snap out of the myriads of thoughts coursing through her. She reached out for her car door, opened it, and entered it before she turned on the ignition. Immediately, Gillian drove out of the hospital. She unconsciously bit her lower lip, her thoughts mixed all over the place, even though she badly wanted to refrain herself from thinking. From thinking about how she was about to betray Augustus’ trust in her for her mother’s health Tears welled up in Gillian’s eyes, but she blinked repeatedly to send the tears back. She was such a bad person. She’s not worthy of Augustus. Just like others, Gillian is selfish and will take advantage of Augustus for her benefit. ‘Young Master Augustus, I’m sorry.’ Gillian’s lips quivered, and a tear slipped past her red eyes. Suddenly, Gillian’s eyes fell on a famous shopping ma
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
. 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
