All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 621 - Chapter 630

It was close to New Year's when filming for the documentary wrapped up. That day, the wind and snow in Crimsonir finally stopped.The production team threw a wrap party at Crimsonir's best hotel to thank the crew for their hard work. Velma reserved the best private room for the party—it featured a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked most of the city's glittering nightscape.It was freezing outside, but the private room was warm and toasty. A lamb feast had been laid out, and people dug in as they sat around several round tables. The air was filled with the aroma of food, and everyone happily dug in. The heat of the food soon had foreheads and noses glistening with sweat.Velma sat at Table 2, eating at her usual unhurried pace. She'd recently gained a bit of weight and wanted to lose the pounds.Just as everyone enjoyed themselves, Violet approached Velma while holding her wine glass. She smiled and said, "Velma, I just wanted to thank you for the help and care y

Gabriella smiled bitterly. Was she cruel? She didn't think so.In fact, if she took pity on Violet and went easy on her, the latter would seep into every corner of her life. Her relationship with Xavier would ultimately end in ruin.She looked at the neon lights that had dimmed slightly and said, "Look at the neon lights, Xavier. No matter how bright and pretty they are now, there will still come a time when they need to go off. That's what we're like, especially since we were never suited for each other."Xavier was silent for a while. Then, he asked, "What about you and Brody? Are you two good for each other?"Gabriella was frustrated. "This is between us. Brody has nothing to do with this."He snorted. He didn't think he'd done anything unforgivable. Maybe it was because he'd also grown up in the lap of luxury, but he was just as headstrong as Gabriella was. He didn't compromise or give in easily, and he was mad that she'd rejected him.They parted on bad terms. They didn't ha

Xavier immediately hurried over, but the paparazzi had already left.Unfortunately for him, money wasn't all that the guy wanted. He also wanted to go down in fame—he would get that once the photos he'd taken were published. He would be able to sell any information at a high price in the future. He'd be the top dog in the field!Snowflakes occasionally drifted into the apartment building's corridor. Xavier stood there and called Anna. It was late at night, but the latter immediately tried to handle the matter.Still, it didn't work. The photos went viral the moment they were released. They exploded across the Internet.It was a sleepless night, not just for Brightstone Group, but also for Starlight Media. After all, Gabriella and Xavier had once been married and were currently dating. They even had two children together.It was bad luck that this sleepless night had to come before New Year's.Xavier hurried to the company to have an emergency meeting with the PR department. Thank

The morning light was faint.Gabriella pulled her coat tighter around her again as she looked at Xavier. She asked, "Don't you find your questions funny, Xavier? Does any relationship truly end without leaving scars? Only a person who already has someone new can walk away unscathed."They'd had two relationships. One had ended because of him and Yvonne, and the other was because of Violet.Gabriella had thought about this seriously. How did she feel about Xavier? Were they just fooling around with each other? How was that possible?The first time she and Xavier had ended up together was out of pressure, but this second time was a choice she'd made after thinking things through. The children played a part in this, but it was also because she felt something for him. That was why she'd agreed to date him.How could she walk away unscathed when she'd put her heart into the relationship? Her weight loss and fatigue were due to her pain, but that wasn't enough to make her change her min

Rebecca sat on the couch, playing with something Fabian had gotten her. It was a token of respect, and she cherished it. When Xavier entered the room, she set it aside and glared at him. "Finally decided to come home, I see."He took off his cashmere coat and threw it over the back of the couch before sitting down. "Mom, why isn't the house decorated for the holidays?"Rebecca sneered. "The holidays? Your father and I are about to get aneurysms because of you. Do you just have to get entangled with Violet Johnston? What is it about her that's enchanted you so? Gabriella is leagues above her in looks and figure!"If it's the sentiment that's keeping you around, your relationship with her was just playing house compared to what you had with Gabriella! You two were married, and she bore you two children! Any other family would be lucky to have her, yet here you are, taking her for granted."Listen to me, Xavier. You'll miss out on Gabriella if you don't make the most of what you've go
