Chapter 401 Heartless

"What are you trying to say, Mr. Dylan?""I want to invite you to audition for the role of Lila. Even though it's an audition, I have high hopes for you," Dylan said with a beaming smile.He was quite curious. If one were to say Gabriella might step into the entertainment scene—aside from playing Camila—there was no news of her auditioning for other roles or appearing in variety shows.But then again, if she was truly avoiding the limelight, there was that standout performance as Camila."I appreciate the offer, Mr. Dylan, but I'm afraid I'll have to turn it down," Gabriella politely declined. "Acting isn't really my thing. Taking on Camila was more of a last-minute rescue.""And here I thought you could rescue me too," Dylan said.Gabriella smiled awkwardly. "Very funny, Mr. Dylan."Dominic was in a tight spot at the time. They were already in the middle of filming and urgently needed a replacement for Camila. Finding a suitable actress with immediate availability was turning o

Chapter 402 Shameless Heartbreaker

"No. I don't want you to leave, Aunt Gabriella," Felise said, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you suddenly going abroad? Did Uncle Henry upset you? I need to talk to him!"She tried to jump off the sofa, her short legs scrambling.Gabriella stopped her, saying softly, "Lise, your Uncle Henry and I can't be together.""Why?" The little girl looked at her with teary eyes.Felise knew they had been making so much progress. They were about to get back together. Gabriella lowered her gaze. "It's a long story. You'll understand when you're older."Felise would still need to rely on Henry in the future. Gabriella couldn't speak ill of him in front of Felise, fearing it would only cause resentment.Initially, Henry had wanted to keep Felise partly because of Gabriella. He was using the child to win the bet.Now that they'd laid their cards on the table, it remained uncertain how Henry would navigate his relationship with Felise. Henry had already attained his goal, and now, th

Chapter 403 Last Goodbye

"Yeah, she showed up, but I shut her down," Gabriella said, glancing at Frank."You did the right thing. Yasmine messed up and deserved consequences. When Aunt Natalie comes bothering you, don't bother caring—just bluntly tell her to buzz off," Frank advised."I knew it. You and Mr. Caddel both have your heads screwed on right," Gabriella remarked.Frank lowered his gaze and changed the subject. "Why the sudden interest in going abroad?""No particular reason. I'm just tired of being here," Gabriella said, shrugging.She couldn't bring herself to mention the embarrassing incident.Observing Gabriella's expression, Frank casually mentioned, "A few days back, I spotted Henry and Ms. Hannah together at some event. They seemed pretty close."Unfazed, Gabriella replied, "Let's not talk about him. Here, a toast to you.""Cheers."Reading Gabriella's demeanor, Frank could sense that her choice to move abroad was likely prompted by the rekindled romance between Henry and Hannah.Fran

Chapter 404 Let It Be

As Carmila speculated about the woman's identity, Shawn took her hand and led her forward. "Mom, Dad, meet Mila."Carmila's head buzzed, her face growing pale as she nervously said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Toussaint."Feeling uneasy, she hoped Meredith wouldn't recognize her.Meredith was chatting with Gabriella. She casually glanced at Carmila, nodded faintly, and then continued discussing things with Gabriella.Carmila's heart sank. Stealing a glance at Gabriella, she felt a twinge of disappointment.Her mother-in-law's clear disapproval was evident. She didn't receive a warm welcome in the Toussaint Residence.If it were just at home, she could have brushed it off. But on her first visit to the Toussaint Residence, the cold reception left her questioning if anyone would ever respect her in the future.Carmila glanced at Shawn, silently pleading for some backup. However, Shawn acted as if he hadn't noticed and just led her to the couch.Watching Carmila's anxious deme

Chapter 405 Leaving Florin

On June 7th, around 10:00 am, Gabriella arrived at Florin International Airport with her suitcase. Colene was there to see her off.The 11:30 am flight required two layovers, spanning over 20 hours before reaching Draken.Colene accompanied Gabriella to check in and drop off her luggage. They went through security together and waited in the departure lounge.Around 11:00 am, the passengers formed a line at the boarding gate, getting ready for ticket checks and boarding.As Gabriella went on this journey, it would be months before she and Colene could reunite. Knowing this, Colene couldn't help but tear up.Embracing Gabriella, she said, "Once you're there, make sure to give me a call often. If … if things aren't going well, just come back, okay?""Okay."Hearing Colene's words, Gabriella felt a lump in her throat. "What if you come along with me?"Throughout their journey together, especially during Gabriella's challenging moments, Colene has consistently provided support and e

Chapter 406 Old Acquaintances

"Well, Pete, don't tell anyone about this," Gabriella said.She was worried that someone might take advantage of her amnesia to get close to her, and she couldn't tell the difference.She had only revealed the truth to Pete because she trusted that Frank wouldn't harm her.Pete also knew the seriousness of the matter and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If anyone asks in the future, just say that it's been a few years, and you've forgotten most of it.""Yeah, I know." Pete began to give her a new introduction to Draken, such as the museum over here, the city hall over there, and Draken Chatanesetown.When they reached the hotel, Gabriella checked in with the front desk and took the key card. Then, she took the suitcase from Pete's hand. "Thanks for the lift, Pete," she said. "It's quite late, so you should head back first.""It's not a big deal. I'll walk you up."Pete escorted Gabriella to her room and reminded her to lock the door at night."It's getting late, Pet

Chapter 407 Amnesia

A car accident stole parts of Gabriella's memory, leading her to lose contact with Bella upon returning to her home country. Therefore, she didn't recognize Bella when she first met her.The extended gap from their last meeting had made Gabriella feel like a stranger to Bella. As a result, she hesitated to reveal her true identity.Aware of the unlikeliness of the situation, Gabriella asked, "Did you happen to know the name of your friend in Chatanese?"Having had a Chatanese friend and currently having a Chatanese boyfriend, Bella had picked up a few Chatanese sentences, and her pronunciation was quite fluent.She replied in Chatanese, "Her name is Gabriella Carrington."Gabriella stood in disbelief, her mouth agape."You … you can't really be Gabriella, can you?" Bella asked incredulously, raising an eyebrow."I really am." Gabriella forced a smile.She could hardly believe it herself."Don't you remember me? You were the one who helped me find my way to class when I first s

Chapter 408 You're Much More Interesting Now

During the day, Pete took Gabriella to get a local SIM card.Gabriella shared her new number with Colene and Aster. As for her old Chatan number, she kept it but canceled the data plan, keeping only basic calling and messaging features.In the morning, Gabriella donned a white knit cardigan paired with a brown bodycon mini-skirt and leggings. She completed the look with brown ankle boots, creating an elegant appearance.After receiving Bella's call, she grabbed her bag and camera downstairs, planning to walk around and take some photos. Bella, being so pretty, was the perfect model for her."I wish I had changed into a nicer outfit if I had known you were bringing a camera," Bella lamented. "You look fantastic in anything," Gabriella said. "You'd even make a potato sack look good." Bella couldn't help but laugh. "Haha. Fay, you're much more interesting now.""Was I boring before?""Well, let's just say you seem happier now. Back then, you were always studying. Even during bre

Chapter 409 A Small World

Gabriella was well aware of the power of the Internet nowadays, with more and more people venturing into the self-media industry.Some people filmed interesting or informative videos to make money from views and advertising fees, while others filmed videos to showcase the charm of their original work and used the internet to attract customers.Gabriella thought she should belong to the latter, even though she had never filmed a video before.After understanding the customer's requirements, Gabriella negotiated some details with the customer and quoted a price. The students who had come to study there were generally well-off. Since they had messaged Gabriella voluntarily, they agreed immediately and paid a deposit, scheduling the shoot for the following weekend.Gabriella looked at a few photography studios on a job search website. Finally, she selected a few that she liked and submitted her resume, including the studio of Frank's friend.After finishing all this, it was almost m

Chapter 410 You've Snagged a Wealthy Friend

After securing the job, Gabriella had to consider her living arrangements.Despite having some savings, she hadn't planned on purchasing a house yet and had opted to rent a one-bedroom apartment near her workplace.At 8:00 am the next morning, Pete and Bella picked up Gabriella to go apartment hunting.Upon hearing that Gabriella had joined a photography studio, Bella expressed her delight. "That's fantastic, Fay! I posted the photos you took of me on Instagram, and several of my friends believed I had a professional photoshoot and asked about the photographer."Gabriella smiled and replied, "You're naturally beautiful, so any photo of you will always turn out great.""Fay, you're too modest. I've had numerous portrait sessions, but your candid shots have stood out the most for me.""I'm glad you liked them. By the way, the studio I've recently joined has a Chatanese dress photography project. If you're interested, you can give it a try."During the interview, Gabriella learne
