Chapter 1288
Gael hung up the phone, and his thoughts were unsettled for a long time. The night wind continued to blow, lifting the edges of his white bathrobe and ruffling his black hair. It revealed a few strands of early grey hair that spoke of his worries. Gael wasn't a fool. Yanni wouldn't make such a proposal without reason. Despite how disgusting she found him, she was willing to be Ella's nominal parent. This could only mean Ella's mother was back to reclaim her. Gael had checked and confirmed that Ella wasn't Keaton's child. Rather, she was Callan's daughter. On the snowy winter night, Gael lit a cigarette and stood in the wind, slowly inhaling. He thought and thought again. Yanni's proposal was indeed a profitable deal. If he became Ella's legal father and helped Yanni secure custody, then the latter would owe him a huge favor. With that, he could ensure his own wealth and glory for the rest of his life.However, Gael still felt uneasy inside. He had been married to Yanni
Chapter 1289
Keaton’s expression remained unchanged. At this moment, what was going on in his mind? On the surface, Keaton appeared to be a gentle and warm man. He was always approachable and kind in dealing with people. However, how could he have achieved so much in his career if that were all there was to him? His ruthlessness was like a lurking specter in the darkness.Yanni's arrangements were good, but Keaton didn’t intend to let Denise off the hook. Back then, he didn’t hold Denise accountable. Now that Denise had returned, she posed a threat to both Yanni and Ella. Whether it was for new grievances or old affections, Keaton was determined not to spare her this time.Keaton looked at Denise and didn't give a direct answer. He simply said, “No matter whose child Ella is, it has nothing to do with you! It's because she belongs to someone else. You don’t even have the right to sue, let alone the qualification to conduct a DNA test with her.”Keaton's parents, Gustavo Bright and Susan Wilk

The loss of his outstanding eldest son still weighed heavily on Gustavo's heart/ How could he not have lingering hostile feelings toward Denise? Meanwhile, Denise refused to leave. How could she bear to walk away? Ella was her biological daughter. With Keaton being so fond of children, she was just one step away from success. Everything had to be a lie crafted by Keaton. How could Ella possibly be someone else’s child? He must be deceiving her. With that said, where did he find so many actors in such a short time?Denise had lost her dignity. She shouted and caused a scene in front of the mansion, drawing the dissatisfaction of the servants inside. Naturally, Yanni also heard the commotion and stepped out from the gazebo.Yanni never needed to adopt an air of arrogance. Her family background and her parents’ looks endowed her with an innate grace. She exuded an air of nobility and intelligence even in a simple set of loungewear.Yanni stepped out of the entrance and stood on t

It was a dismal scene when Denise was driven away.Ella leaned against Yanni’s embrace, and she pressed her little face against the latter's body as she absorbed the scent of her. Although Ella had never been held by her biological mother, she felt that this was the smell of a mother at that very moment.Ella clung tightly to Yanni and refused to let go. The latter gently stroked the former. Then, Yanni greeted Gustavo and Susan, “Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Bright.”Gustavo and Susan exchanged glances. He managed to maintain some restraint, but she could hardly contain her joy. The Bright family had finally found Denise’s nemesis. Susan looked at Yanni with the affection of a mother-in-law toward her daughter-in-law. She became more and more delighted the longer she gazed at the latter.…The snow had stopped. The early morning sun shone through the thin mist, illuminating the snow like diamonds and draping the cold world in a golden cloak. It was lively and bustling inside the main hou

Yanni was getting married after all. Gael couldn't focus on work for an entire morning. He was fixated on that photo. He had no interest in answering even when Emilia called. After all, Gael had connected with Yanni. He wasn’t worried about Emilia's reaction. He just needed to wait for Carter to come out and undermine the wretched bitch.The office door was gently pushed open, and Grace entered. She sensed Gael's bad mood and cautiously said, “There’s a Ms. Denise who wants to see you, Mr. Gael.”Who was Denise? Gael initially had no intention of meeting anyone. His mind was elsewhere. However, Grace added, “She says she is Keaton’s sister-in-law.”Was Denise that bastard's sister-in-law as well as Ella's mother?Gael felt a flicker of interest. He wanted to see her and compare her to Emilia. That would help him figure out what common traits such venomous homewreckers possessed. So, he replied in a calm voice, “Please let her in.”Denise had come with genuine intentions. She was

The door to the director's office creaked open, and Emilia stood at the entrance. Her mind exploded with disbelief. She couldn't believe her eyes. Gael was with a beautiful young woman, who was half-leaning over the desk, and he was engaging in an intimate interaction. Anyone with half a brain could see what was happening.Emilia felt entitled as Gael's legitimate wife. She marched forward to confront Denise by grabbing the latter by the hair and yanking her away from the desk with fierce determination. Two sharp slaps rang out echoed in the office as they landed crisply on Denise's stunning face. “You shameless harlot!” Emilia yelled furiously.Denise was dazed by the unexpected blows. She took a moment to regain her senses. Before she could react, Emilia dragged her to the wall, gripping her hair tightly and slamming her against it. “Do you not have a husband? How dare you seduce another woman’s husband in broad daylight! I’m going to teach you a lesson today, you shameless s
Chapter 1294
After Grace finished cleaning up the director's office, she returned to the office and saw Gael staring blankly at a wedding ring. She had sharp eyesight and recognized it as the one that Yanni used to wear. She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions and called out, "Mr. Gael."Gael didn’t look up and continued to gaze at the diamond ring. He softly asked, "It was my own doing, wasn’t it? I lost someone as wonderful as Yanni."Grace could only sigh. She couldn't have answered that question.…As night fell, Gael finished his social engagements. He didn't want to go home, and he didn’t want to return to that house filled with memories of Yanni, especially since it was now occupied by Emilia. He had no desire to see Emilia at all.Gael didn’t drive. Instead, he walked through the quiet and dimly lit streets of the night. His loneliness was only accompanied by the cigarette between his fingertips, but even that was better than facing Emilia.There was a private male clinic besid
Chapter 1295
Yanni loved Gael, but that love was no longer there.The silver Bentley sliced through the night, passing under the yellowed streetlights as it slowly drove away from Gael. As far as Yanni was concerned, this brief moment felt like a walk through their seven years of marriage—the good, the bad, the sweet, and the bitter... all of it.She had seen Gael chasing after her, but what difference would it make if the car stopped? A few polite exchanges?They truly weren't suited for each other. This kind of cooperation was the best outcome now. At least they hadn’t become eternal enemies. As for whether Gael was suffering, it was no longer her concern. He chose all of these.However, there was still a blockage in her heart. It lingered until she drove back to the apartment and turned on the hallway light.As Yanni was about to hang up her coat, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She picked it up to see a WhatsApp message from Keaton."My mom prepared some handmade pizza, and I brought a
