Thinking up to this point, Cynthia swiftly sat in front of the computer. Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard as she searched for information on the Yorks family.However, there were barely any information on the Yorks family. Her search yielded only two pages worth of information pertaining to the Yorks family. Cynthia was surprised. She clicked on an article that had been published three or four years ago. It contained only a brief summary regarding the struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family. It mentioned that there was a struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family but hardly any other detail was provided.Cynthia clicked on another link. A blogger had attempted to estimate Gabriel’s net worth — coming to a conclusion that it cannot be estimated.Cynthia randomly clicked on a few other links before losing interest. Apparently, the Yorks family was in control of the media, which was very much in line with Gabriel’s tyrannical disposition.At this moment, Linda knocked

After waiting for a while, the man became miffed and displeased.Why was she taking such a long time in the washroom?Gabriel continued to wait a little longer. He soon came to the realization that she had long exited the washroom and was avoiding him.Damn, this woman had the audacity to avoid him?This seemed to stir up his anger.He strode around the hall looking for Cynthia. After making a round, he still could not find her. His gaze landed on the hallway leading to the buffet area. Eyes narrowed, he headed there.There was a romantic ambience in the dining hall. The roses added a special touch to the dining tables — a perfect setting for a dinner date.With food on their plates, Cynthia and Zack took their seats by the window. They had eaten for quite a while. She seemed a little distracted. She began to wonder whether Gabriel was currently looking for her.Forget it. They did not come to this event together anyway. There wasn’t any need to attend to him.“Ms Cynthia, I’m sure yo

Just as she shakily rose to her feet, his strong arms lifted her by the butt and settled her on his back. This action startled her into wrapping her arms around his neck. That was how she ended up being forcefully piggybacked by him.“Gabriel, put me down. I said that I’m able to walk.” She struggled in protest.Who would have known that he would pat her on the ass — twice. “Be good and hold still.”A blush stained her pretty face. The little boy who was walking in front of them in concentration was oblivious to his mommy’s mortification.Cynthia did not dare to put up a struggle any more. Gabriel carried her all the way back to his place. Zack had already fetched the first-aid kit. Cynthia sat on the sofa while the ointment was being applied on her knees. Fortunately, the wound was not deep.“Mommy, let’s not go anywhere today. We’ll just stay at home, okay?” The little boy was so distressed that he wasn’t even in the mood to play.Cynthia was at a loss for words. She couldn’t believ

Cynthia looked at her coldly. “Mrs. Leonard, do you need something?”“So you’re aware that I’m Mrs. Leonard. Cynthia, let me warn you, you’d better stay away from my husband.” Face all done up, Angela glared at her.“I hate to break it to you, but I’m not interested in trash.” Cynthia replied, derision evident in her voice.“That’s what you’re saying now, but whether you’re keeping your word, I wouldn’t know. I heard that you’ve got a son. Is this true?”Cynthia’s face drew taut. “It’s none of your business.”“Though what I’m not sure is whose bastard it is. Cynthia, I’ve got to hand it to you — getting pregnant right after you went abroad. You must have been really lonely.” Angela assumed that Cynthia had conceived her son while she was abroad.Hearing the word ‘bastard’, Cynthia became livid and gave her a slap to wipe off the smugness on her face. Cynthia had not been able to do so back then, but today, she would not hold herself back.Exclaiming in pain, Angela cupped her smarting

Time flew by as she read the news. She left her room after looking at the time. The crystal chandelier in the living room had been turned off. Only a few wall lights were left on and had been dimmed. As Gabriel was nowhere to be seen, she thought he must have gone to bed.She walked into her son’s room with light, feathery steps. With only the wall lamp switched on, the little boy was tucked under the covers, sleeping soundly. She swept her hand across his forehead to see if he was sweating.When she was done checking up on him, she walked lightly to the door. After observing the little boy for any movement, she gently closed the door.She turned around only to be confronted with the sight of a pair of pitch-black eyes. Her heart pounded with fright. Her red lips parted as she was about to cry out in alarm.The man quickly muffled her cry with a palm over her mouth. His handsome face neared hers. “Shh…”The cool masculine breath caressed her face. There was an inexplicable sense of da
