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
The slow pace of the instrumental suddenly became fast. Before Gillian could process it, Augustus' dancing speed had increased. It had taken a lot of effort for a newbie like Gillian to dance according to the slow instrumental and Augustus' pace. But with Augustus suddenly increasing his dancing speed, she felt like a pitiful little fish in the middle of a tide. She could only be pulled by Augustus. Augustus suddenly leaned forward and inhaled the scent of Gillian's hair. His dark eyes lit up, and he patted Gillian's head. “Wife smells good!” He praised her seriously, causing her to blush. Suddenly, Augustus extended his left hand and used it to ruffle Gillian's hair playfully while grinning in delight. “Wife, do you feel good?” His thick voice suddenly asked. Gillian pursed her lips, her head moving all around due to Augustus' action. Not only did Gillian have to dance like a fish caught in a tide due to Augustus' dance pace, but now Augustus kept ruffling her hair w
‘@I love Willa with all my heart: Gillian, that Vixen is such a pathetic slut. How dare she refuse to attend her sister's wedding because she's interested in her brother-in-law? Did she even take a glimpse in the mirror? If I were her, I'd hang myself with a piece of tofu! So disgusting! @Willa is a pure goddess: For such a disgusting and ugly, inhumane vixen like Gillian, she truly deserves to marry a retard like Augustus. Two bad people; heaven is willing to join them both. @Willa is the mother of my children: Willa is such a pure angel; I'm willing to die to get just a smile from her. Gillian isn't worthy of such an angel at all. @I'm an honest follower of goddess Willa: Willa is so sweet. She truly deserves the engagement with a top handsome person like Luke Arnoult. I can't believe that a sweet existence like Willa exists. Despite the fact that Gillian isn't worthy, she was willing to let go of Luke if not for their engagement. I still can't help but get giddy whenever I
Gillian’s fists clenched, and her body trembled, sad tears pooling in her eyes. Gillian had lost everything yet sacrificed what she had left just to get her mother's bills paid, yet it turns out that her dad will fail to pay her mother's bills as he promised. Even if Gillian was an illegitimate child, Roger gave birth to her, and she was his child as well. Does he have to be so cruel, does he? Willa doesn't have to say a word before her wish will be fulfilled by the entire family. However, for Gillian, no matter what she does, it isn't enough, or she is simply a feigning vixen. Gillian sniffed and wiped the sad tears spilling past her cheeks. She clenched her shaky fists to calm down and dialed Roger Arison’s number. It was after the fifth ring that the call was picked up by the indignant Roger Arison. “I have obediently apologized to Willa, and I have married Augustus Albrecht in place of Willa. Why is my mother's hospital bill yet to be paid?” Gillian’s face
The nurse's response made Gillian so infuriated that she wanted to bang the table and throw things across the room. How can that man be so ruthless? Even if Roger doesn't care anymore, at least he and her mother had once been so lovey-dovey. Can he even think about the love they once shared? Valencia had never felt disgusted with a being before. She felt that the Arison people were indeed family. They all have vicious blood swirling in their systems, except for her. Despite the fury pervading Gillian's system, recalling the presence of the sleeping Augustus, Gillian bit her lower lip and exhaled rapidly to regain her calm. “I understand." She replied and cut off the call. Gillian stared into the distance for a few minutes, and tears pooled in her eyes. Why does everything seem to be in ruin at the same time? Did heaven hate her so much that it was not willing to give her any chance to breathe? Suddenly, Gillian clenched her fists and exhaled. Regardless, she had to stay c
Gillian stretched her body and leisurely yawned. She rubbed her eyes and sat up drowsily before opening her eyes. Finding herself in an unfamiliar, luxurious room that morning, Gillian was stunned, and her body tensed for a minute. But... Upon recalling what ensued the day before, her body relaxed, and a thought came to her mind: she had married into the Albrecht family as the bride of Augustus Albrecht instead of the original plan to get married to Luke Arnoult. Thinking about Luke made Gillian's heart pang. Luke didn't even attempt to clarify things. It'd have been better if she had received a call. A lot of people at least know when their relationship is coming to an end, but Gillian had to see her breakup notice in the media. Who does that? Thinking about Augustus, Gillian quickly snapped out of her pain and hurriedly stood up. For someone who had been experiencing insomnia, she wondered if Augustus was still sleeping or had woken up. Gillian made her way towards the
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
