"Yunifer, forgive my mom. Please don't be upset. If you leave, this meal will be incomplete. Please don't make other people sad.” Sherly said softly, soothing Yuriel.But she made it appear as if Yuriel had a temper tantrum and ruined the reunion dinner.Katherine and Rachel regarded Yuriel with disdain and contempt. Celine gave her a sneering look.Yuriel smirked, crossed her arms, and raised his chin to Sherly. They were mistaken in thinking she wouldn't fight back.Sorry, but she had never succumbed to the bad boys who bothered her and were known for their rebellious nature since she was in the orphanage. She had several arguments with the orphanage's director.She suppressed her rebellious nature as a teenager and as a member of society.But, as a result of the mishaps and repeated insults from these people, her fighting spirit has grown. She would not let herself be humiliated again."Make your mon apologize to me if you believe she was wrong."Gerard and Celine locked their gaze
Yuriel could feel Aleandro's heart pounding and his voice shivering."You should keep your distance from my wife." He sternly warned Leon.Aleandro abruptly turned around and dragged Yuriel out of the room. Yuriel was struggling to keep up with his long strides.From behind, Leon narrowed his eyes at the pair."Slow down, it hurts." Yuriel struggled to feel his grip on her hand.They never returned to the private room. Aleandro threw her into the passenger seat of the car and drove her to the underground parking lot. He then sat in the driver's seat.He started the engine and drove away quickly, without saying anything.Yuriel was too irritated and stressed by Thalia's presence to speak. She cast a glance out the window.Aleandro was enraged when he saw her give no explanation for what happened in the toilet and drove even faster. He broke the red light several times. Within thirty minutes, they arrived at the mansion.Yuriel tried to open the car door, but it was locked. She frowned
"Since that's the case, Miss Grinn, let's talk about it in my office." Leon was patient. He turned to face Yuriel."You two accompany me to the office."He turned away, not wanting to hear Ariana's words.Ariana frowned, dissatisfied with Leon's response. Leon, on the other hand, had already turned around. He couldn't help but stare at Yuriel.Yuriel snorted back at her before following Leon. Ariana clenched her teeth in a rage.Yuriel purposefully tripped on her leg as she was about to pass her.Yuriel had figured out the ruse. She mockingly snorted and kicked Ariana's shin hard, tripping him as she passed."Bitch!" Ariana screamed out in agony. She yanked furiously at Yuriel's hair as she passed in front of her.Yuriel swung her hand reflexively, striking her face.Ariana became enraged and retaliated by pulling her hair even tighter.Yuriel didn't want to lose, so she clawed at her opponent's face. So they fought in front of the campus hallway.Their screams and insults were audibl
"You..." Ariana's face flushed with embarrassment and rage.She couldn't even compete with Sherly, and now Yunifer, who came from a despised social class. This harmed her self-esteem."Why are you speechless?" Yuriel gave her a sneer."I'm not going to lower myself to argue with a commoner like you!" Ariana said, while she kept of her pride.Yuriel had a cold expression on her face.The atmosphere grew quiet.The rector was preoccupied with his thoughts.He was perplexed after hearing Ariana and Yuriel's conversation. The rector was concerned that Yuniver hasn't yet getting divorced by Aleandro Gilren, and he has already offended President Gilren by evicting his wife from the college.The rector still thinking whether to cancel Yunifer's expulsion from college or to continue to comply with the Grinn family's request.While the rector weighed the pros and cons, time flew so fast, and Aleandro arrived at Leon's office.The rector was uneasy when he saw Alejandro arrived with his assista
"Sh*t!" Ariana snorted angrily and threatened Yunifer with vengeance."I have a plan to get back at her," Thalia said, catching Ariana's attention.Ariana looked at her with interest. "Do you have any ideas?"As Thalia whispered to Ariana, her lips curved into a sinister grin.Thalia's suggestion made Ariana smirk. The two girls exchanged evil smiles as they looked at each other.Silence reigned in the car as it sped down the highway. Yuriel skipped class and went back to the mansion with Aleandro.She was bored, staring out the car window and not talking to Aleandro, whom he hadn't seen in a month.On the other hand, Aleandro, who had been waiting for Yuriel to speak up, was growing impatient with her silence."Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?" Aleandro gave her a cold stare."There aren't any." Yuriel replied matter-of-factly, her gaze fixed on the window."You made me come all the way here!" Aleandro stated sternly."So?" Yuriel responded casually, unconcerned. "Did I
"Perhaps that is her karma for stealing other people's happiness." Thalia's lips curled up involuntarily. She raised her eyes, fake tears streaming down her cheeks. "However, I still feel guilty. Every time I think about it, I feel tortured." Hearing Thalia's fabricated story, Yuriel's body shook with rage. She intended to call her a liar and a hypocrite! She couldn't, however. Thalia would definitely kill her if she recognized her as Yuriel Scott. Furthermore, Aleandro would strangle her for impersonating her wife in order to obtain 20 trillion. Yuriel calmed herself by staring straight ahead. She must not act hastily in order to carry out her revenge plan. "Because Yunifer resembles my best friend, it reminds me of her." Yuriel turned around with a fake smile after hearing Thalia's words. "Is it right? You must be 'tormented' to see me, don't you?" She wished Thalia had been tortured by guilt and accused of murder, as she claimed. Thalia looked at her with a guilty expressi
When Yuriel arrived, her classmates had already arrived. It appears to be crowded, inside. Students from the Department of Architecture in grades one through three were all present.Some people dance on the freshly swept dance floor. Some people socialize with others.Yuriel was lonely. She didn't know anyone close to her classmates. She simply shook her head and went to the bar counter."Did you order anything?" A bartender inquired in front of herm."Please give me a glass of juice." Yuriel never drank alcohol because she doesn't like the strong odor.Her order raised the bartender's eyebrows. She gave Yuriel a strange look as she replied."I'm sorry, but juice isn't available at this location.""Really? So, what kind of drinks do you offer?" Yuriel inquired, her face innocent.She'd never been to a bar or a nightclub before, so she didn't know anything about their drinks.The bartender simply smiled knowingly at the young lady in front of him and mentioned a low-alcohol drink.Yuri
"How could that lowly bitch marry Mr. Gilren?!""Hopefully, he'll be kicked out! The Gilren family was thoroughly polluted by this repulsive woman," said one of the girls who was envious.After hearing Ariana's words, the girls began cursing Yunifer. Various curses and words of negative jealousy were directed at Yuriel.Nobody realized Yuriel was under the influence of the aphrodisiac."Hey, Mr. Gilren, is that you?"When Aleandro appeared at the door in his casual clothes, a girl exclaimed.It was clear he wasn't going to the party or the bar.Aleandro swept his gaze across the bar, as if looking for someone.He's like a husband who suspects his wife of cheating on him."Wow, just in time while his wife was having an affair with another man." One of the girls said with an interested expression, as if she were watching a good drama."Does Mr. Gilren will catch his wife who was cheating on him?""Certainly! Otherwise, how is he going to get in when the bar is booked all day?""Yunifer
Aleandro wiped away his tears and rushed out of the room to the next room.The room smelled like a nursery, with milk and powder wafting through it. Where the crying had come from was a crib in the middle of the room.Aleandro peered into the crib and saw a small baby dressed in girl's clothing crying aloud. Like Aleandro, she had thin black hair. His expression softened. He was worried because he had forgotten his child while attending Yuriel's funeral and was drowning in grief.Aleandro reached into the crib and carefully held the baby. The baby's crying still didn't stop. He was worried and panicked because he didn't know how to calm a crying baby."My dear, stop crying, okay?" Aleandro's heart was sour. His daughter's cry was reminiscent of Yuriel's cry a moment ago.The baby had hiccups, her tiny eyelids slowly opened to reveal her mother's green, teary eyeballs.Aleandro's heart melted when he saw his daughter's green eyes, which were identical to Yuriel's. He held the baby in h
Aleandro knelt and placed a white rose bouquet on the grave. He knelt beside the mound of dirt, oblivious to the fact that his body was drenched in rainwater.“Yuriel...” Aleandro gently stroked Yuriel's name on the tombstone, as if he were touching the skin of the woman in his memories. He seemed to be able to see a smiling face in front of her. In a hoarse voice, he said. "It’s all my fault. You are free to hate me and leave me. But I can't...you can’t leave me like this and then never return…"Aleandro had a sad expression on his face. Looking at the grave, tears welled up in his dark eyes. His heart couldn't accept Yuriel's departure."I'm sorry I locked you up and made you suffer."Aleandro could still see the look of rage, disappointment, and hurt in Yuriel's green eyes when he locked her in the villa and tortured her. Under his torture, the smile that had always graced her beautiful face with arrogance was gradually replaced with hatred, pain, and terror. Her eyes gradually los
Sherly grimaced, holding her head. She was dizzy and a warm liquid ran down her temple. Her eyes welled up with tears as she saw the blood on her head and looked up at the cold-hearted man with pitiful eyes.Aleandro snorted and walked out of the room casually.“Aleandro!” Sherly sobbed as she called out to him. Why was he so cruel to her? She only loved him, but he was cold to her.The bedroom door was wide open, and several maids who passed by whispered to Sherly.Sherly looked very sad. She was still dressed in her wedding dress and sitting on the floor, her head dripping blood and staining her wedding dress.Their wedding night turned out to be a nightmare. Aleandro left Sherly in her bedroom, proving that her position in Aleandro's heart was nothing, despite the fact that she was his wife.“Poor Miss Sherly, she was abandoned on the wedding night.”"Our master only has feelings for madam, but Miss Sherly insists on marrying our master. It's no surprise he left her in her room."H
Yuriel stared blankly out the bedroom window at the vast expanse of sea. The sun was setting and twilight rays were floating on the sea's surface. Seagulls soared through the sky. She didn't know how much time had passed because she hadn't counted since her confinement days.Yuriel shifted her gaze to the seafloor. The room was on the edge of a cliff. This kept her from breaking the glass and escaping. What if she shattered the glass and jumped? It made no difference whether she drowned or hit a rock to get away from this place or that devil-like man. She was ready to die.While deep in Yuriel’s thoughts, the bedroom door opened and a maid cautiously entered the room with a tray in hand. She looked at the woman sitting under the large french window pane.The woman stared blankly at the sea stretching outside like a caged bird longing to fly freely."Madam, it's time for lunch," the maid said, placing a tray of food in front of her. But the woman didn't move or even look at her.The ma
“Aleandro, I'm not going to let you insult my daughter. My daughter was obviously still a virgin at the time. Because she only likes you, she can't possibly sleep with another man!" Celine screamed in defense of her daughter, pushing aside her fear."Come on, mom. In either case, it was an accident. Aleandro was not to blame." Sherly pretended to be sad while holding Celina's arm so she wouldn't attack Aleandro. She gave Aleandro a sad and pleading look. "If you don't want this child, that's fine. But I beg you, please give my child a surname. So others cannot offend him."Aleandro was growing impatient and didn't want to waste time arguing with them."Then you have two options: abort it or raise it yourself. One thing is for sure, I will not marry you or give your child my family name. I only take into account the child that was born inside Yuriel."You can't do that, Aleandro. Because Sherly's child is the Gilren family's grandson, you are not the only one who can decide the fate of
18:00, GN Group.Aleandro massaged his throbbing temples as he considered the slightly bleak financial reports of late and Mayor Rollies' intensifying media attacks.There was a soft knock on the office door."Come in," Aleandro said, his gaze fixed on the document in his hand.Viktor's figure entered with heavy steps as the door opened. He looked doubtful at his boss, who was checking the financial documents in his hands while massaging his head."What is it?" Aleandro asked coldly as he noticed Viktor standing by his desk without saying anything.“There is news regarding Thalia Gibson, sir,” Viktor said as he grimaced at the boss."What news? Have you fixed it?” Aleandro asked indifferently and went back to checking the documents in his hand.“Thalia Gibson ran away after her family's company went bankrupt. I've been looking for her and found her in a suburban hotel. But…she was already dead before we could find her. The hotel representative said she committed suicide by drowning he
Thalia walked up and down the hotel, carrying her suitcase, waiting for Sherly's men to pick her up.Soon after, the hotel room doorbell rang.Thalia flinched and moved her gaze to the door. She approached the door with trepidation. She was afraid it was Aleandro's messenger. She saw a man in a black jacket standing alone outside her hotel room door through a small hole in the door.The man's face was only visible because his large jacket hoodie covered it.Thalia gulped nervously. She didn't immediately open the door and asked behind it, "Who’s there?""Miss Sherly asked me to pick you up," the man said, his voice hoarse and uninterested.Thalia rubbed her face, exhaling a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, she broke out in a cold sweat. She opened her bedroom door with relief and asked enthusiastically, "You've come, can we go now?"The longer Thalia stayed, the more terrified she became when she thought about when Aleandro Gilren would come to get her.The man smirked as the corners of h
Yuriel blinked slowly as she opened her eyes. With a dazed expression, she looked around. The room's monotonous white tone and the strong odor of medicine stabbed her deeply, causing her consciousness to fully recover. She flinched and reached out a terrified hand to feel her stomach as she remembered what had happened to her before losing consciousness. Her stomach ached and felt empty. Her heart sank as she felt her stomach flatten. Tears streamed down her cheeks.The baby had vanished."This can't be..." Yuriel was in a trance, unable to accept that her baby had died. She forcibly withdrew the IV needle in her hand, oblivious to the state of her body, which had just undergone surgery.“I have to confirm myself…” Yuriel muttered with a pale face in a hurry to get off her bed. Her stomach was immediately attacked by pain. She trembled and clutched her stomach. Her pale face was drenched in cold sweat. Her knees felt so weak that she was about to collapse on the cold floor. She straig
“You really are two-faced! You were trying so hard a week ago to fawn over and flatter me. Now you changed your face so fast and showed your real attitude. Your life is truly amazing living by fawning over other people. You’re disgusting," Yuriel mocked cruelly.Yuriel's blatant insult made Grace's face flush with rage. True, some of them engage in sycophancy for personal profit. Everyone knew it, but no one said anything about it.Grace's pride refused to accept Yuriel's words as an indirect slap in the face. Also, just hearing her last sentence was insulting and disgusting to her.Commoners remained commoners. They were very uneducated and barbaric. She was not going to lower herself to his level.Grace lifted her chin, smugly looking at Yuriel."I'm not going to debate you. But I have some advice for you: you should leave Aleandro Gilren. You and Sherly have both brought shame to the Gilren family. You'll never be accepted into the Gilren household.""You spoke as if you were a mem
