All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

At dawn, an uninvited guest showed up at the ward.It was Stacy.While Jareth had been sick, Stacy and her parents had caused several scenes at the Frey residence. Seeing no hope for him, Stacy had been pragmatic, planning to demand more money to secure a comfortable life for herself in the future.But once she heard he was recovering, she changed her mind. After all, Vivian and Jareth were supposed to get divorced.So, she and Laureen suddenly dropped their shrewish attitude and tried once again to cozy up to the Freys. But they couldn't even get through the door. After all, Sapphire had already told the guards to keep them out.Still, their shouting outside could be heard clearly inside.Jareth tried to get up, wanting to handle it himself.Vivian stopped him gently. "I'll go."As she was about to leave, Jareth caught her wrist and said in a low voice, "No matter what happens, I won't have anything to do with her again. Vivian, I don't love her."Vivian looked at him, her ex

Tessa opened her car door and got in.Benedict was left standing alone in the fading glow of dusk. He watched the white Maserati drive away without a trace of hesitation. Then he looked down at the ruby jewelry scattered on the ground and the proposal ring she had thrown away.He still remembered the day he slipped it onto her finger with love, and now, she had tossed it without a second thought. She must've brought it along just to get rid of it.A dazed look crossed his face.Just then, a street cleaner swept past, and with a single stroke of the broom, that tiny ring was swept straight into the storm drain.Panic hit him. He dropped to his knees by the drain, trying to reach in with his hand. But his hand was too big.He ended up prying open the grate, digging through the filthy water with his bare hands. The diamond had sunk into the muck, impossible to find. Still, he scooped up handfuls of sludge, clawing through it like a madman.From a distance, Danielle quietly watched

At 5:00 pm, Adam went to the vice CEO's office to get Tessa.Tessa had already changed and was waiting for him.Even though he had seen her countless times before, he still couldn't help but stare, thinking she looked completely different tonight.She wore a fitted blue-striped shirt under a navy sweatshirt, paired with white cotton shorts, knee-high socks, and white sneakers. Her long dark hair was loose beneath a baseball cap, and she carried a square white handbag.She looked effortlessly chic, yet somehow still sexy, especially with those long legs.He had always thought of himself as a proper man, but at that moment, he wasn't so sure. After a pause, he found his voice again. "You look great, nothing like a vice CEO."She walked up to him with a smile. "I'm going as your junior tonight. What do you think?"He chuckled, a hint of affection flickering in his eyes. "Perfect."He reached out and took her bag, a surprisingly intimate gesture.She hesitated, then let him.When

A bucket of ice-cold water crashed over Benedict, drenching him from head to toe.He jolted awake.The first thing he saw was Dorian's furious face, followed by his parents' looks of disappointment, and that brat Jareth sitting on the sofa, happily sipping on a supplement, while Vivian sat nearby, quietly reading an embroidery book.He shook his head, and droplets of icy water splashed right onto Dorian's face, making him even angrier.He yelled, "If there were more useful people in this family, I'd be enjoying my retirement in a luxury villa in Hortosia instead of suffering like this. Look at you, drunk out of your mind in a bar. How have you not been carried off yet?"Rowan couldn't help but interject, "Dad, Benedict's a man."Dorian nodded. "You're right. Even if he's lying on the street, nobody would want him. Wait… someone did want him, didn't she?"That international movie star? Perfect match, I'd say. Shouldn't he be under the covers enjoying it by now, instead of getting

The Meridian Film Festival commenced right on schedule, with everything going according to plan. It was held at the Central Hotel, where the night was filled with high-profile guests and dazzling celebrities.Tonight would be Tessa's last night serving at Central Hotel. She had booked a midnight flight to Usna for two years of advanced studies.Six years ago, she had joined the Central Hotel because of Jareth. But over the years, she had grown to deeply love this place, so tonight, she was determined to give her career a perfect farewell.The hotel's front courtyard had a red carpet stretching several hundred feet.As the representative of the host hotel, Tessa stepped forward to greet the VIPs. She wore a sleek black uniform dress, her hair neatly pulled back, radiating the same graceful charm she had always carried.Adam watched from a distance, lost in admiration.Under the spotlights, the host's voice carried with excitement. "Coming up on the red carpet, we have internationa
