Chapter 803
Holly still couldn’t speak. However, Archibald treated both of his grandchildren equally. He also hugged the baby girl and also gave her some pocket money. After that, Gwynn stepped forward. Looking at the authoritative old man before her, she still couldn’t help but feel a little distant from him. That didn’t stop him from looking at her lovingly, the way a father would his daughter.Her voice was a little choked up when she spoke. “Dad.”He stared at her profoundly. Anders, who was standing to the side, remained quiet while his wife wiped her tears away.After a brief moment, Archibald brushed his fingers through Gwynn’s silky hair. Walking back to his desk, he pulled open the drawer and took out several deeds as well as a passbook. He handed all of them to her and said, “Our ancestors were all businessmen and they left us with some of their properties! Anders has done a good job managing them too! “We have decided to give you these to show you how much we love you.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the party. The villa was filled with magenta stained glass pendant lights on that day. The light from within the glass cast a heartwarming pinkish hue everywhere.Numerous cars were parked both within the porch and outside the villa.All of the members of high societies in Brookesville were here. They heard that Archibald found his long-lost daughter and that she was merely twenty-five years old. Now that they thought about it, this was an extremely happy occasion, the first since the old man’s wife died a long time ago. They didn’t have anything bad to say about it.To them, it wasn’t weird that Archibald wanted to reconcile with his daughter.However, they could tell just how big of a deal this was for Archibald based on the scale of the party alone. It baffled them and made them curious about the young lady who made the old man act out of the norm. After all, Archibald was known for keeping a low profile because he didn’t want to invit

Gladys was exhilarated when she saw her mistress. “I’m here, Ms Gwynn! It’s quite a headache finding your way around when you live in such a huge villa!”Gwynn didn’t even notice Noah was there until she came closer. He glared at her and gritted his teeth. “Did you move into the Templeton villa?”Tears filled her eyes. “It’s true.”He looked at the bespoke gown she was wearing. He knew that it must’ve cost her a fortune. It had never occurred to him that she’d go this far to gain favor with the Templetons. She even moved into their villa, for crying out loud.He said coldly, “You seem to have forgotten that you’re still my wife!”“What does that have to do with me moving into this villa?”“It has everything to do with that!”Then, he asked Gladys to take Lorian away. The old servant could see that things weren’t going well between them. Worried that the little boy might be frightened by their fight, she quickly carried him in her arms and took him away.As soon as both of

It felt like the end of the world. Underneath the dim light, Noah’s face was ashen, as if all hope was lost to him. He had never let anyone see him like this. At that moment, countless thoughts were churning in his mind. It turned out that Gwynn and Anderson weren’t an item. He could’ve led a happy life with her because she was never one of the Worshems. She was innocent through and through. She should never have been a part of his revenge. Back then, he derived great, twisted pleasure when he saw how deeply she fell in love with him. Now, however, the thought of it was excruciating!He raised his hands before he glanced at her. There was nothing but bitterness in his eyes and misery in his heart. The truth was finally revealed. He had parted ways and reconciled with her countless times over the years, but it was all his fault. Gwynn was Archibald’s daughter. This revelation tore him to shreds. The most bitter pill to swallow was that she would probably sever her ties

Gwynn changed out of the expensive gown and took off the luxurious jewelry. She spent half a bottle of shampoo to wash out the products used in her hair. Walking out of the bathroom, she put on a snowy, silk bathrobe.It was a busy day, but she insisted on applying the conditioner.Within the huge mirror, she could see her hair cascading on her shoulder and the faint glow from her skin. Thanks to her wealthy life, she looked as delicate as ever. Her eyes were filled with nothing but affection when she reached out for the moisturizer. The wind was beating down on the ornate window, making a faint rustling sound. She wasn’t bothered by it.She merely applied the moisturizer meticulously. She even put on classical music to set the mood. The truth was, she loved quiet, serene moments in the night.At the next moment, someone opened the window. Noah was standing there. His sharp features looked more stunning in the dark of night. His black hair was swaying gently from the night br

Gwynn was lying on the couch as she was still trembling.She murmured, “It’s over, Noah.”…The moonlight was as bleak as a morning haze under the rising sun. Everything had changed between them. Noah left the Templeton villa and went over to the club, trying to drown his problems in alcohol. The manager knew Noah very well. He read the news about Gwynn rejoining the Templeton family and knew that she was going to stay there permanently. He knew just how to comfort a broken man. Sticking close to Noah, he did what he could to soothe the latter before giving the girl at the door a look, signaling her to come inside. “She has just graduated from college, but she was having a problem securing a job. So, she’s working here until things get better for her!”He added, “She’s a virgin!”However, Noah wasn’t interested. He waved and gestured for the girl to leave him alone. The moment he raised his eyes, he was stunned. The girl looked a lot like Gwynn back when she was twent

Noah was lying on the couch. His head hurt so much it felt like someone split his skull.Emma went over to open the door. It was Kim. She cast an inquisitive glance at Emma. The young girl resembled Gwynn very much. One glance. That was all it took for her to know what Noah was doing with the young girl. She cursed at her director internally, but she didn’t let it show on her face.Passing by the empty liquor bottles, she took brisk steps toward him and crouched. “You have to head over to the company right now, Mr. Noah. Something bad has happened!”He shielded his eyes and asked softly, “Did Archibald do something?”Kim didn’t even know where to begin. She paused for a while and said. “You know better than anyone how much power he wields and how vast his network is. He verbally promised us several projects before yesterday, but they’re all gone now.“What’s worse, we can’t do anything about it. Archibald’s background was too squeaky clean. We couldn’t find any dirt on him a

As soon as the limousine disappeared from their sight, Kim looked at Noah and asked, “Ms. Courtney won twenty million dollars in a single night. She must’ve been in a wonderful mood.”Noah stood in the dark of night. Lowering his head, he lit a cigarette.He took several drags and wisps of light-green smoke lingered in the air. Sneering, he said, “She wouldn’t have won the twenty million dollars if she didn’t want to help me.”What he didn’t tell Kim was that he set Courtney up back when he wanted to make a connection to Graham. He arranged for a dashing, young college student to sleep with her and took a video of them doing it. He still had the video. That college student had to be twenty-seven years old now. He had an office job during the day. At night, however, he’d serve her and be her plaything. They had slept with each other just once, but he managed to hold onto her. Noah had to admit, that was quite impressive!The neon lights on the street flickered and illuminated
