Leaving You Bereft のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 661 - チャプター 670

A week later, Violet joined a film production crew. It was a spy thriller produced by Viridian Films. She was cast as the female lead.The male lead was a rising star from Starlight Media who had gained significant fame in recent years.On the day filming began, Xavier accompanied Violet to the set. Deep down, he was wondering if he would bump into Gabriella. Knowing her style, she'd usually show up to support the talents under her agency.But she didn't. Only Velma came on behalf of Starlight Media. She was dressed in a crisp white suit, sharp and composed.The moment she saw Xavier and Violet, she gave a cold smile. She didn't even bother to fake politeness. "Move. You're in the way."Xavier frowned.Violet bit her lip and said softly, "Velma, are you still upset with me?"Velma gave her a sideways glance and said, "Upset? You picked up someone's trash. I should be thanking you."Violet said nothing more and just forced a smile.The launch ceremony was grand, but Xavier's mi

Violet's condition was far from good. Aside from physical injuries, the tragic incident took a heavier toll on her mental health, and she couldn't give her statement to the police for the time being. When the doctor came over to check on her, Xavier went out into the hallway with the two police officers. Once the door was closed, one of them leaned on the railing and looked at him."Mr. Lund, based on the initial investigation and Ms. Johnston's account, the culprit is Kurt Faulkner, a lightning technician on the film set. They know each other. In fact, he worked on the lighting for the documentary, "The Blind Well." "She told us that they had shared a meal together several times, with the presence of others, and there was no bad blood between them."Speaking of, Kurt quit his job at Starlight Media over a month ago and got hired by another film studio. "We went to his rented place to see what we could find, and we discovered a huge amount of cash that he couldn't take away in

This wasn't the first time Landon and Xavier had traded blows, but none of their previous brawls were as deadly as this one. This time, they were out for blood. There was a time when Xavier called the Ziegler residence his home as well. Now, however, he barged in and attempted to harm Gabriella for Violet's sake. The sound of flesh hitting flesh rose in the air, and streaks of blood burst out, splattering crimson on the earth. Landon's voice was deep, hoarse, and laced with rage as he spoke."Xavier, have you gotten a screw loose? Coming here in the middle of the night to throw a tantrum over that bitch?"Xavier didn't give any ground. He swung his fist, slamming it into Landon's cheek and drawing blood. Two tall, poised men traded blows nonstop, both out to mess the other one up. "Landon, are you the one who did it?"Landon scoffed and said, "You wanna know something? I feel fucking fantastic now! Xavier, a bitch like her had it coming, and a loser like you deserves to have y

Rebecca's eyes welled up with tears. "Xavier, it's time for you to look after yourself. You're a grown-up now."He responded, "Mom."She flashed him a helpless smile as she brushed the dust off his shoulder. "Don't come back here anymore. Jerome and I can still walk fine. Should we have trouble with our legs, we'll hire a private nurse."Xavier's heart wavered. "Mom, why are you telling me this?"Rebecca parted her lips, but she ended up biting her tongue and gently shaking her head. As the night deepened, Xavier drove out of Lund Manor and returned to the hospital. …At the same time, everyone in the Ziegler family was packing up their suitcases. It was early summer. Gabriella, frail as she was, wore a thin cardigan over her long dress as she sat in the lounge, reading an evening newspaper. Willow was in the walk-in closet. The newspaper carried the announcement of Xavier's marriage. He and Violet had gotten a marriage certificate, and their wedding ceremony was in four

At the end of June, Xavier received a letter from Rainbow Tots. It was the kindergarten Ash and Lynn were meant to go to. They must have passed the assessment but never went to school, prompting the kindergarten staff to send them a letter. He looked at the letter and spaced out. As it turned out, Gabriella used his address when she registered the twins for school. After Xavier meticulously went through the letter, his body relaxed, and he leaned against the back of his chair, shielding his eyes with his arm. An explicable wave of loneliness washed over him. As it happened, Anna opened the door and came in with a stack of documents, and saw him in his depressed state. Putting down the documents, she asked in a puzzled tone, "Mr. Lund, you've just got married. Why aren't you happy about it? Also, why have you been working overtime every day?"Xavier sat upright a little and leafed through the documents. Anna saw the letter from Rainbow Tots and picked it up. After she read
