Gianna walked into the house and found Grace, Victor’s wife seated on the sofa.
Victor stared at Gianna, though they had both been living in the same city, they rarely met.
He had gone to see her in school a few times after she started dating Maxim but she paid him no mind.
This was the first time in years that Victor was staring at her this closely.
Gianna had completely inherited her mother's beauty, she was even more beautiful than her mother.
One of the reasons why he wasn’t there for Gianna when she lost her parents was because he didn’t exactly get along with her parents when they were alive.
He had fallen in love with her mother, he had loved her first but her mother had chosen her father and so, he had a huge grudge on the two of them.
Gianna said, "I came to get something, give it to me!"
Grace stepped forward and eagerly took Gianna’s hand: "Anna, you haven't come to visit us in years, and afte
Gianna wasn’t naive enough to think that Victor and Grace would obediently hand over the box.She had known that they must have something up their sleeves.Gianna blinked and gloated, pointing upstairs, "Something’s burning.”Victor grimaced."Even if you change the subject or try to distract us, it won’t work. You’re not leaving here today.”Suddenly the housekeeper’s scream filled the house.She ran out of the kitchen and looked in the direction of the second floor in horror."Miss Ashley’s room is on fire!”Victor and Grace both looked towards Ashley’s room, incredulously.Sure enough, they saw smoke rolling out of her room.The pungent odor spread quickly.Victor and Grace were both shocked."Quick, put out the fire!"They called out to the bodyguards and servants in the house to put out the fire, while they themselves quickly ran
If Gianna sends this recording on her watch to Declan, it’d not only make him find out that she was his savior, he’d also get to know that Ashley and her family wanted to lock her up and torture her.He would definitely not want to marry Ashley after that.Her chances with him would be ruined.After Victor’s earlier trepidation, he immediately replaced it with a complimentary attitude.“Mr. Lewis, l've always knew that you and my niece are in a relationship, but I didn't have the chance to meet you. Today I finally got to meet. I’m Anna’s uncle, I’m like a father to her.”It must be said that Victor’s ability to bend, to see the wind and make the rudder was simply a matter of skill.Maxim stood at Gianna’s side.Anger radiated off him in waves.The words that came out of his mouth were even more chilling.“How long were you going to keep her in the basement?" One sentence brought the atmosphere right down to zero.Victor’s heart snapped and chills ran down his spine.Grace was also fr
Looking at the deflated and unwilling faces of Victor and Grace, Gianna’s heart burst with pleasure.She said to Maxim.“Make him go bankrupt if he doesn't want to give it back, when the time comes, he'll definitely have to take these jewels as collateral, and you'll just buy them back for me. But it's the process that's a little more troublesome, the end is still the same, right?"Maxim nodded at her favorably."That’s a good idea. I’ll make the phone call right now."Victor and Grace both stared in horror.With Maxim’s ability, they didn't doubt that he could make them instantly bankrupt.Victor clenched his fists and looked at Gianna with eyes that couldn't wait to swallow her, but she had Maxim as her back up, so Victor had to give in.What else could he do?Could he let his small company go bankrupt?Could he turn to Declan?But right now, Ashley and Declan’s relationship was still early and so he couldn’t ask Declan for anything or else, Declan would see Ashley’s family as gold
What's more, she was still seen around with Maxim.If Gianna really got married, would Maxim still be close to her?So yeah, everyone thought it was a rumor about Gianna’s marriage to another man.Because could she give up a man like Maxim and marry someone else?They believed no one could break up with a man like Maxim.Grace came out again but she didn’t left out some jewelries.Gianna opened the box and took note of it.“It seems you really want to go bankrupt. I’m not playing games here, man!”Maxim thundered.Victor knew the implication of Maxim’s words and he lost his temper, completely.He said to Grace.“You short-sighted bitch, if I tell you to bring something out, you bring it out, what are you hiding? You're only happy when I'm broke, right? You, I know all the little plans in your heart, if I go bankrupt, these things will be used to offset the debt, does it have anything to do with you?"The box was stolen by Victor.So Grace had no hold over it.Victor knew very well that
Ellie just quietly watched from the side, these were antique jewelry, almost all of them were jade and pearls, every one of them was very good looking, and the style was also unique."After all these years, you finally got your mom's box back."Ellie had heard Gianna say many times that she wanted her mother’s box back.But there was no way around it.Gianna had already checked all the jewelry, Grace must have loved them a lot, there were not a little bit of breakage in these jewelry, they were all intact.She closed the box and cradled it carefully in her arms.Her pretty little face was warm and tender."Yeah, I got it all back."Maxim sat on the passenger’s seat, his slender hands resting on his long legs, his fingers slightly curved when he heard her sigh of relief.A flash of guilt appeared on his cool face.He fell into a long contemplation.Gianna wanted to get back her mother's box, she had been with him for so many years, it was clearly a matter of him saying a word and stepp
Gianna got back into the car again.Maxim told Edgar to drive the car to the apartment close to the school.In the car, Ellie asked in a low voice, "What did you two talk about? You're not going to make up, are you?"Her voice was low but the space inside the car is very close.Everyone could hear her.Gianna shook his head.“We didn’t make up and we won't make up."Edgar held his forehead helplessly on one side."Ahem!" He coughed twice to warn Ellie.Maxim was still here, it wasn’t right to taunt him.Ellie rolled her eyes.“What's there to hide? I'm not in favor of Anna and Maxim and getting back together. As long as Nadia is around, Anna will never be happy with him, so even if they get back together, it'll still a repeat of what happened before!"Ellie had watched Maxim leave Gianna behind for Nadia time and time again over the years.Even at the engagement party, he left her.The more she think about it, the more angry she got.She pressed on.“Even if they get back together, wh
For the longest of time, the only consolation to she and Maxim’s off and on relationship was that it was because he was unable to maintain firm boundaries with Carla.She had believed he never got sexually or romantically involved with Carla.She had been entangled with Maxim for four years now and he always assured her that he had never cheated on her.He told her that he only saw Nadia as his sister and he wasn’t attracted to her at all.Even if he and Nadia were very close to each other, the two of them did not act out of character in front of outsiders.Of course she knew that Nadia loved Maxim as a man.But Maxim didn’t feel the same.But now what?Nadia had a miscarriage?.The baby was Maxim’s?He got her pregnant?He slept with her?And heaven knows how many times they did it!He was such a bloody liar!Her hate for Maxim increased.He lied to her f
Edgar said with a lowered head, "He’s still at the emergency ward."Grandpa Lewis snorted coldly, "You better pray that he's okay, or else ....." He didn't finish his sentence, but the threatening undertone was unmistakable.At this moment, the door to the emergency room opened and the doctor walked out.Grandpa Lewis hurriedly went forward and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"The doctor shook his head wearily, "The injuries he sustained from the accident were too severe. We’ve done all we can. He’s in a comatose state now and his chances of waking up are slim. We can only hope for a miracle.”The old man swayed and nearly fell.It was hard for him to accept this fact, how could his grandson, the heir of the Lewis family, die like this?Gianna’s heart stung when she heard the doctor's words.She covered her mouth to keep from crying out.She walked over to Grandpa Lewis and said softly, "Grandpa,
