Maxim's dark eyes were still staring at Ellie even as he dropped to the floor and passed out.His eyes still held that questionWhere is Gianna?Ellie had never seen him like this before.He always had this cold and powerful aura but now,he looked wretched and insane.It was as if he was going to drink her blood if she didn't reveal Gianna's whereabouts.It was terrifying for Ellie.Trevor watched as Maxim on the floor, he was panting.Maxim's outburst was clearly an attack.He would never hurt his friend's sister if he was in his right senses.He hasn't even had an attack in over a decade.What triggered it?Gianna leaving him?Trevor didn't dare to delay and said to the bodyguards, "Carry him.Let's go now."The bodyguards carried the unconscious Maxim away.Trevor said to Ellie, "Avoid him for now, he's not mentally stable!"With that, he hurried off.Trevor was really in a tough situation right now.He had thought the only health crisis Maxim had left was his very low tolerance to a
It's been a week since Gianna came to this town, she completed the enrollment procedures, and started classes.She went to class in the morning, and then in the afternoon,she sketching with her classmates and professor.Then she went home in the evening to rest and revise.Her days are simple and fun.She quickly adapted to the pace.Ellie had already informed now that Maxim was still looking for her and hadn't let her go yet, telling her to keep a low profile and act carefully.Gianna had borrowed one of her classmates phone to call Ellie and that was how they've communicated a few times.Now, Gianna was skeptical about opening a bank account here.She was afraid he could traced her with that.But she needed to have her own money.She had been borrowing money from Scott since they got here.She was starting to feel really bad.He had done so much for her.She didn't want to take more from him.She asked around for any discreet pawn shop.She needed to sell that ring and have some money
The song, and the dance ended with thunderous applause from upstairs and downstairs.The man downstairs thought the applause was only for him and nodded his head gently in greeting.He was about to return to his spot to join his best friend when his cell phone rang in his pocket, he glanced at the caller ID and gestured to his friend waiting for him at the table that he was going out to take a call, getting a nod from his friend,he simply picked up the phone and walked out of the restaurant.And upstairs,Gianna thought the applause was for her and the pianist, she leaned down slightly to show her appreciation before sitting back down and eating.Scott looked at her with adoration."Anna, you're too good a dancer! You dance so well, how come you chose painting instead of dancing?"Gianna smiled and said, "Versatility!"Other than that, she didn't say much more.She has been learning to dance since she was a little girl and her favorite thing was dancing.She wanted to pursue that passi
Kate was especially excited as she talked to Ava in detail about the benefits of this matter."Huh?"Ava didn't even react to what was going on.Just a feeling of being hit by a pie.She hesitantly asked, "But Auntie, I'm not the person in the video, so if the person in the video comes forward, won't I be slapped in the face?"Ava wanted to mix with the entertainment industry and be a big star.She knew that if she seized this opportunity right now, she could make it big.But then again, this is an opportunity used poorly, and she will stain her reputation.Ava wanted to be popular.But this thing is too risky!Unless one can be sure that the girl in the video won't show up.But how can they be sure?That was what Kate should be thinking about, she said, "I'll make use of this video.Let's find this person as soon as possible, talk to her about cooperation, give her money, so that she doesn't come out, and give this opportunity to you."Ava bristled, her pretty little face all disappro
Maxim had been treated by Donovan since he woke up in Donovan's psychiatric clinic, and he was starting to look normal again,with each passing day,he got more and more sane.It was as if what happened that day at Edgar's house was just an hallucination.But the bruises on his face told him that it wasn't and that he had really tried to hurt Ellie.He still had Hank searching for Gianna, without giving up.But he wasn't threatening to kill anyone for now.The only person who knew how bad Gianna's disappearance had affected him was Grace.Since Gianna left, He would come back every day and lock himself in her room.He barely ate and would hardly step out of her room.He was like a machine now.Barely eating,only going to work during the door and coming back to sleep in her bedroom at night.It was as if all the emotions had been drained out of him and he had become a robot.************On this day,Maxim was in a meeting and left his cell phone in the office.After the meeting was over h
A few people stood idly and strangely in the moonlit doorway.Josh suggested, "Let's go sit in the cafe!""Okay."So the group of four people walked towards the cafe together, and Declan even helped Ava push her wheelchair.Josh winked at Declan and asked in a low voice,"You still don't think this is fate?"In Josh's eyes,Ava was the one who danced.The body was the same, the hair was the same, even the clothes they were wearing were the same.And again,Ava had posted of her doing that exactly dance on the morning of that day.So it couldn't be a coincidence.It was Ava without a doubt.But Declan was a bit cautious, because things like coincidences were sometimes very metaphysical indeed.When he saw Ava, he was almost certain that Ava was the person in the video.At that time, when he collided with her at the door, he clearly smelled the scent of the elegant Jasmine on her body.Ava's body smelled exactly the same.There can be no mistake.Declan smiled and nodded to Josh, "It is."
The man walked away quickly.Looking shocked as well.Gianna watched as the man who looked especially like Nadia disappeared into the crowd. She leaned against the train in a trance.She felt dizzyIt was as if the whole thing had drained her.Scott looked at her and touched her shoulder, his hand waving in front of her eyes."Don't tell me you actually saw a ghost?Gianna,there's no such thing as ghosts."Gianna gave her a false smile."Yeah, I must be making a mistake."Unless…That was not a ghost!Gianna's mind was a mess.Just now it was just a hurried glance, but she saw that face.It was Nadia's brother.Although,she never knew him personally but she saw him in pictures and Trevor had told her never to speak of him to Maxim.Apparently,him and Maxim had been good friends because he was killed in an accident.Nadia claimed her brother's loss her worsened her sickness and she clung to Maxim even more.It had happened six years ago.She recalled seeing a big mole on his forehead in
She was kind of heartbroken for Gianna.She had spent for three years with Maxim but all this while, she was the other woman.Ava was trying her best to hold back from laughing.She really felt like laughing in Gianna's face.A few people waited at the entrance, and soon, a limited edition Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the Grand Theater.Maxim walked down with his long legs.His slender body seemed to blend in with the night, and coolness was written on that cold face.He came straight to Josh and extended his hand to him."Where is it?"Josh smiled and placed the ring in his hand.Maxim opened the box, and what lay inside was indeed the Heart of True Love!Gianna was in this country!The ring box tightened in his hand, and he remained expressionless."Where did you buy it? take me there."Josh didn't care about Maxim's impolite attitude, having taken him a billion dollars, he could smile even if He Hansheng's attitude was hostile."It's not far, just around the corner, I'll show
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
“Maxim, I've never felt your love, but I felt every pain you caused me because of Nadia."“Just like after the engagement party, I saw your attitude of trying to get me back. As you know, the main problem between us is Nadia, and you've always said you wanted to send her away, but you never did."Gianna couldn’t say he loved Nadia.She knew he didn’t.He was just overly soft towards her because he felt he was the only one Nadia could depend on.And he also believed that Nadia was seriously sick.If Nadia was a good person and she was indeed sick, Gianna would have tried to compromise because that way, Nadia would know her place.But Nadia wasn’t a good person and she was doing all she could to get Maxim.Maxim was just so stupid to be manipulated by her for so long.And while he gave Nadia all his attention, he gave Gianna nothing.Every time he argued with Gianna in the past, he barely knew how to handle the situation, he always chose to leave indifferently without explaining or reso
