Henry clearly saw through Elaine's thoughts. She wanted to get close to him, but her pride held her back. Her face darkened just like the last time he mocked her. She could only beat around the bush, which made things awkward. The last time Henry encountered such behavior was back in high school. A girl made excuses to give him breakfast. After he refused it, her face turned red with anger. She snatched back the breakfast and said fiercely, "Suit yourself. I don't want to give it to you anyway."The girl returned to her seat in frustration. During recess, she approached him again with a pen and asked, "Hey, is this your pen? I found it on the floor."It was obvious that Elaine had been pampered by her family. She was still a child in Henry's eyes, and he couldn't care less about her. "Of course, it's for something important," he replied. His short response infuriated Elaine. She wanted to ask more questions and extend their conversation, but she worried he would accuse her of b

Noticing his doubt, Elaine hurriedly explained, "Fay used to work at Colson Photography Studio. I went there for a photo shoot, and she was in charge of it."She continued, "I never thought she'd steal my necklace during the shoot, and the studio had fired her. If you don't believe me, you can ask the studio's owner!"Henry looked at her indifferently and didn't say anything. Elaine added, "I was shocked when I saw you with Fay at the restaurant that day because I knew her true colors. She's just using you for your money. Don't let her fool you!"Henry didn't buy her words. He believed that no one knew Gabriella better than he did. He sneered, "Is that what you call helping me? Do you know that Fay donated all her assets to establish a foundation?"Elaine was desperate when she saw him defending Gabriella. "You and Mr. Albert gave her the assets, didn't you? They were not her properties in the first place. She donated them to gain a reputation and your trust. Isn't it a smart m

"No matter her intentions, I won't let her succeed!" Henry said righteously. Gabriella chuckled. "I am glad you know what to do." Henry breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he had passed the test. "Gabby, you know her, don't you?" There was a note of confidence in his tone. Gabriella didn't deny it. "From what you've said, it seems that she's mentioned me to you before. What did she say to you?" "I won't believe anything that she says to me."Gabriella raised her eyebrows. "Henry, you're so quick on the uptake now that it amazes me." Henry laughed and changed the subject. "When are you coming back?""Soon." Before she returned home, Gabriella invited Bella, Pete, and the others out for dinner. She told them that she would be back when she got the chance. … At 8:20 am, Layla walked into the office area. She saw from afar that there was a cup of coffee on her table, as well as a takeout box next to it. When she opened it, there were five sausages, salad, two san

It was already noon. Henry told the driver to make a detour to a restaurant. The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor and politely handed them a menu.Henry had come here a few times before. Perhaps it was because he didn't like lamb, but he only just noticed that there were several signature lamb dishes on the menu. Gabriella looked through the menu and ordered a few at random.Henry heard her orders and told the waiter, "Add a braised lamb and lamb rack.""You have great taste, sir. These are our signature dishes." The waiter smiled and noted it down."Will it be too much?""It's okay. We can bring it back if we can't finish it." Henry gave the menu to the waiter. "That's all."While they waited for the food to be served, the two of them chatted casually.Henry told her in detail about all the affiliated companies under Toussaint Holdings and the new products the studios were about to launch. He asked Gabriella which of these she was interested in. As lo

Then she turned slightly to see that Felise was still fast asleep. However, they were so close that they might wake her up.Gabriella didn't want Felise to catch them in the act.Henry didn't answer. He blew hot air onto Gabriella's neck, and goosebumps prickled her skin. He caught her earlobe and sucked it hard.A jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through her, and she shuddered. She curled her toes and shrank back.Suddenly, Gabriella became fully awake, and she tightened around Henry's hand. "What… what are you doing?"Henry's mouth was next to her ear, and his breath was hot on her earlobes. "I'm helping you relax.""No…""When you're relaxed, I'll sleep."Gabriella remained silent. Then, she bit her lip. "No, Henry… don't… uh, Lise is beside me… don't…"A light seemed to flash across her brain, and she stiffened suddenly, and her eyes went out of focus as she stared at the ceiling. Her breathing turned heavy.Henry kissed her cheek and got some wet towels to wipe her do
