Henry spotted Gabriella, who was standing in the doorway.Though he could not see her expression clearly, he had the feeling that she was staring right at him."I ran into Maverick outside, so I thought I'd come in and say hi," Gabriella explained as her eyes roamed across everyone in the room.“Are you here with your friends?" Henry asked."Yes."Terra smiled at her. "What've you been up to, Gabriella?""The advertisement for MQ, of course."Terra froze. She realized she had unintentionally brought up a ticking bomb.However, not everyone was privy to this. One of them even gestured toward Hannah. "The brand ambassador's right here, no?"Gabriella smiled lightly and poured herself a drink before toasting Henry. "To everyone's health. I'll be sure to treat everyone to dinner next time. To your health too, brother."Brother.Gabriella had not called Henry that since they got married. She downed the drink in one go and set the glass down."Thank you.""I'll be going now. Y

Gabriella immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. "He can't see me. He can't see me," she muttered to herself while trembling slightly. The man approached the bed, getting closer to her.Gabriella felt her heart leaping into her throat.All of a sudden, her covers were pulled off.Gabriella squeezed her eyes shut.She continued chanting to herself to pretend that she was asleep. He could not kill her if she did not see his face."I know you're awake. Open your eyes and look at me, or else I'll finish you off," the man whispered in her ear. Gabriella's mind went blank.As she opened her eyes in fear, she said in a quavering voice, "I opened my eyes. Don't kill me. Don't ..."Her words faded away as she took a clear look at the man's face.It was Henry.Gabriella froze. Her expression was a mix of fear, confusion, and embarrassment.How could she forget that Henry was still at home? On top of that, the villa had excellent security measures in place. No one

"I'll try," Henry said. Gabriella gathered the courage to ask, "What happened to Ms. Bennett?" She had a feeling Henry would not be coming back again, just like yesterday. She wondered what Hannah had told him to make him leave.Henry turned around and frowned. "Gabriella, you never asked so many questions in the past."Gabriella paled. "My leg hurts a lot. Can you ..." "Your leg injury isn't serious. If there's anything you need, just ask Maria," Henry said coldly. He left her room without hesitation. As Gabriella stared at his retreating figure, a surge of bitterness welled up in her heart.It was rare for her to show her weak side, but in the end, all she received in return was his coldness. Clearly, he did not love her. Well, they were about to get divorced anyway. It was not her place to ask him such questions.Henry had only tended to her injury, but she became so immersed in his tenderness that she forgot who she was to him.Once again, she had humiliated hersel

Henry's expression darkened as he sneered, "I have no right to control you? You are not only my wife but also my sister."Think about it. Why does he want you to go abroad? It's because when you are abroad, you won't have your family with you. That way, he can do anything he wants to you!"Gabriella did not know what the future held for her, but at that moment, she was overwhelmed by exasperation. She kicked her quilt in frustration and accidentally knocked her injured leg against something."Ouch!"A sudden wave of pain shot through her. She breathed sharply as tears pooled in her eyes. Henry pulled her quilt away and held her ankle. "What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself again?"She nodded tearfully.Henry brought over the medication and removed the dressing from her leg again. After cleaning off the previous ointment, he gently massaged her ankle and applied a new layer of medication.It was only then that Gabriella began to feel some relief from the pain.Henry put the me

Gabriella parted her lips to speak, but she did not know what to say. She took a deep breath as a pang of bitterness surged in her heart. No. She dared not bet against Imogen. Gabriella knew that in Henry's heart, she was incomparable to Hannah. Since he could push her out to block the shelf from falling onto Hannah, he could do the same this time by letting her endure the online backlash.Moreover, it was just online criticism. It would not hurt her in any way. When Imogen did not hear anything from Gabriella, she became even more arrogant. "Ms. Carrington, care to make a bet?"Without saying anything more, Gabriella ended the call.There was no need to make a bet she already knew she would lose.Maybe Henry would even express his support for Imogen's decision after finding out how she had handled the situation. However, Gabriella was not going to let things end like this. She needed someone to give her an explanation.The person in charge of the photo studio sent her t
