All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 831 - Chapter 840

Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Royce slowly rolled into the Ziegler residence.Every member of the Ziegler family, from the youngest to the oldest, stood in an orderly line.Even Tyler and Karen were stretching their necks, curious to catch a glimpse of Landon's son. They wanted to see the kind of aura he carried, convinced he must have inherited Landon's charisma.The car stopped, and Landon opened the door, lifting Chanel out first.As soon as her feet touched the ground, Chanel struck a dramatic pose, like she was performing in a play. "Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Toby Ziegler, the pride of Uncle Landon! Look, he's stepping out of the car, walking down the grand path, the very road his grandparents paved for him. Let's hear it for Toby Ziegler!"The Zieglers couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads.Willow pulled Chanel over. "Let's not scare your cousin."Chanel huffed. "He won't be scared. Toby's got a mind of his own."With all her fussing, Toby's face tur

Late at night, a champagne-colored Audi slowly pulled into the Ziegler residence.After the guard opened the gate, he jogged over and greeted her, "Hi, Ms. Sherman. Toby got back just before 6:00 pm. The residence has been buzzing all evening, and dinner alone went on for two hours."Even though Willow and Julian had three children, the one destined to inherit the family business was still Landon. Now that Landon had a child, it was as if this side of the family finally had an heir, even if that child was raised outside the household.Thalia's feelings were complicated. She didn't want Toby to become the heir of Nebula Group. But clearly, both Landon and the Ziegler family had that intention.…She had been to the Ziegler residence many times. Familiar with the place, she parked the car with ease. Just as she was about to get out, someone tapped on the window.Then the door opened, and a tall figure slid inside. It was that familiar presence, laced with a tempting warmth.Her he

Thalia's eyes filled with tears as she stepped forward and embraced Willow, the moment moving everyone in the room.Even someone as composed as Julian reached out, patting her shoulder in comfort."All these years, Willow has never stopped thinking about you."…Thalia clung tightly to Willow, whispering apologies. Right then, she finally felt a sense of belonging.Raising a child alone in a foreign country while still studying had been anything but easy. But every time she felt she couldn't go on, she thought back to the day she was forced to leave Landon.She never wanted to live through that feeling again. Only by becoming stronger could she keep herself from losing everything.Tears clung to the corners of her eyes, showing her last bit of pride and her final act of defiance.Off to the side, Gabriella watched quietly. She realized maybe this was the reason Landon could never let Thalia go. There were plenty of beautiful, accomplished women in the world, but only Thalia cou

Greg figured Landon must've caught on to something to show up in the middle of the night like this.In situations like this, it didn't matter who was right or wrong. When he was up against a heavyweight like the CEO of Nebula Group, even if he was in the right, he still had to get down on his knees and apologize. And truth be told, he was guilty as hell.He came downstairs looking pitiful, keeping his distance.Forcing a smile, he said, "To what do I owe the pleasure at such an hour, Mr. Ziegler? Thalia's back, isn't she? Why aren't you busy patching things up with her instead of coming here to drink? Lucky for you, I've got a vintage '82 stashed away—"Before he could finish, a fist smashed into his face.His nose nearly snapped. Blood sprayed everywhere, looking messy.Landon wasn't done. He grabbed Greg by the collar, slammed him twice into the side of the black Range Rover, each hit so hard it felt like his bones might shatter.Wiping the blood from his nose, Greg finally cr

Thalia had way too much to drink, but she had a hard time throwing up.Leaning against the sink, she pressed a hand to her chest, feeling sick. The alcohol was hitting her hard. She had no idea what kind of liquor Tully had bought.The mirror before her swam in a blur, and her whole body felt weak.She forced herself to turn on the faucet. Cool water trickled down, and she cupped some in her hands, splashing it on her face, trying to sober up a little.Just then, footsteps sounded outside.She thought it was Tully. But it was Landon who walked in.The lights were harshly bright, shadows layering over each other. Tilting her head back, Thalia stared blankly at the reflection in the mirror. Her lips parted, and after a long moment, she mumbled without much awareness, "Landon, what are you doing here?"Landon slowly stepped closer, standing behind her.He gazed into the mirror as well and said in a deep and controlled voice, edged with anger, "Thalia, is this the life you left me
