He would do anything to please his young wife regardless of his image in front of others. He also wanted to show that Yuriel was so important to him and to others. The guests around him were speechless.'Oh, Mr. Gilren, is he enslaved by his wife?'The thought almost filled everyone's head. A smile appeared on the corner of Yuriel's lips as she leaned on Aleandro's shoulder with an unhappy face while looking at the man who had been sarcastic.“That person already makes me unhappy for being sarcastic about me.”Aleandro looked at the man Yuriel pointed at. The gentle expression on his face as he coaxed his wife turned frozen. “Mr. William, do you not intend to apologize to my wife? Quickly apologize to her or I will execute your family company,” he said threateningly.Everyone shuddered that Aleandro used direct threats instead of behind the scenes like he always did.“One, two—” Aleandro started counting.“Mrs. Gilren, please forgive me for offending you.” Mr. William said frantically
“Yuriel knows that Mrs. Yunifer has a very rich husband. She let Mrs. Yunifer die in an accident to take her place in Mrs. Gilren's place. She's a swindler!" she exclaimed with a hint of deceit in his statement."What?!"“If true, that woman is too cruel to let Mrs. Yunifer die and take her twin sister's place!”The guests exclaimed in surprise, staring at Yuriel with various looks. The reporters got excited about getting important information on the Gilrens and took a photo of Yuriel who was pale, visibly dirty with wine spilled on her. The flash of the camera shoots him non-stop.“Th-that's not true….” Yuriel argued weakly, her body breaking out in cold sweat.She felt dizzy, her vision blurred from the camera flashes and the whispers around her made her head buzz."Nonsense!" A female figure in a red dress suddenly appeared and broke through the crowd of guests, approaching Yuriel."Who are you? How dare you slander my cousin! If what you say is true, where is the evidence? I sue y
Some of the women were still left whispering to hear her words.“Tch, Mrs. Katherine is shameless. She called her daughter-in-law a disgrace for using dirty methods to marry Mr. Aleandro. But proudly admitting Aleandro will marry Miss Sherly after seeing them sleeping together, even though she's just as dirty as Yunifer Jenkins."“Right, right, right, she brought the Gilren family's reputation down. Don't you find it strange that all of this is as planned?”“Mrs. Katherine really wants to get rid of her daughter-in-law and put her son to sleep with a bitch.”Katherine didn't care what the women were talking about and focused on answering the reporters' questions."Mrs. Katherine, then what about Mr. Aleandro's pregnant wife?" reporters were getting more and more eager to extract information from him.“Hmph, she's just a swindler. Aleandro's wife is actually dead!”"But the woman is pregnant with Mr. Aleandro's child.""It couldn't have been Aleandro's son." Katherine's words were vile
Yuriel's car spun on the slippery asphalt road causing a deafening screech of car tires. She closed her eyes and slammed on the brakes as the car slid into the barrier.Yuriel was flung forward as the car finally came to a stop. But the back of the car grazed the road divider. Fortunately, the airbag appeared and prevented Yuriel's head from hitting the car's steering wheel and the seat belt worked perfectly fine.Yuriel blinked her eyes, staring ahead wide-eyed. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.“T-thankfully….” She rested her head on the airbag over the steering wheel and sobbed. She lowered her head while extending her hand to hug her stomach.Tears welled up in her eyes as she mumbled, “Sorry, baby… I'm sorry….” She hugged her stomach very protectively. “You have to endure a lot, dear… I'm sorry.”Aleandro's car finally arrived at Yuriel's location after turning the car around to look for a shortcut. His heart sank. A large truck stopped on the side of the road and his Ro
As Cain had reported, grandfather Hendry's health was extremely poor.When Aleandro saw Grandpa Hendry lying in a patient bed with an oxygen mask covering his mouth, his eyes softened. The monitoring screen that kept track of Grandpa Hendry's vital signs was frail and unstable. A doctor and a nurse were examining his condition with a serious expression.Aleandro wore a mask and a cloth for visiting patients in intensive care units."How is grandpa's condition now?" Aleandro asked in a deep voice. The sound of monitoring echoed weakly throughout the ward. He had a bad feeling and his body stiffened involuntarily.The doctor shook his head, a look of regret on his face."His heart condition is dire. Old Master Gilren is also getting on in years, I doubt he'll make it through the night."Aleandro's shoulders slumped as if a rock had fallen into his chest.The doctor tapped Aleandro on the shoulder, worried."I have already informed your family of the old master's condition. Take your tim
Right? This was impossible. Aleandro would definitely tell her and wake her up if Grandpa Hendry died."Aleandro..." Yuriel muttered as she struggled to get to her feet, looking for the figure of her husband who had slept beside her the night before. She realized she was in a hospital room when she looked around.Aleandro was not in her room, and there were only two nurses gossiping beside her. Yuriel became worried when she couldn't find Aleandro and learned of Grandpa Hendry's death.This was simply not possible. Yuriel had to make sure of it herself, she reasoned, pulling out the IV tube and getting out of bed. Her movement jolted the two nurses awake.“Ma’am!” They stuttered and panicked. One of the nurses hastily turned off the TV and another nurse approached Yuriel."Ma’am, you can't get out of bed yet," she helped Yuriel to stand up straight and tried to push her back onto the bed."Let me go!" Yuriel brushed the nurse’s hand roughly and pushed her away. Despite the fact that h
"If Young Master Aleandro learns of your beauty and social standing, he will most certainly not reject you and throw that woman out."Grace simply smiled and did not respond.Not long after, Mayor Rollies came over, his secretary holding the umbrella."Grace, let's go say hello to Uncle Cain with me.""All right, dad." Grace smiled and followed her father to Cain, who was conversing with a colleague who expressed his condolences.When Grandpa Hendry's burial was completed, everyone slowly exited the burial area. Several people came up to the Gilrens to express their condolences. Aleandro was approached.People who tried to approach Aleandro were ignored. He looked silently at the rain-soaked mound of earth. Colleagues and relatives who tried to engage him in conversation simply smiled stiffly and moved over to the rest of the Gilren family."All right, Allen, let's go. Despite how depressed you are, you need to look after your health.”Sherly took the initiative to comfort him gently.
Because the Gilren family was not an ordinary family and was very noticeable, word of Grandpa Hendry's death had spread throughout the Capital. Several people were taken aback by the news. They only found out about Grandpa Hendry's birthday party and founding anniversary of the Gilren company last night. That night, it appeared, became the day he died. Television stations also covered the story, emphasizing Thalia, who revealed Yuriel Scott's true identity.“Mrs. Jenkins!” When a nurse who had just entered the room noticed a middle-aged woman convulsing on the patient's bed, she screamed.The monitor device that was monitoring her vital organs rang out loudly. Glass shards fell to the floor, and a television was on in front of her, broadcasting the latest news from around the Capital."It has been learned that President Aleandro Gilren's wife has died, and her twin sister, Yuriel Scott, has assumed the identity of Madame Yunifer as Young Lady Gilren."Mrs. Jenkins' gaze never left the
