After noticing Amber's brows in defiance, Gabriella finally turned her gaze to the butler.
"Auntie, please give us some privacy."
Getting the unexpected request, Minnie's eyes opened wide. "Are you sure, Madam?"
"Of course she's sure," Amber interrupted with a crooked smile. "She realized that I had known—"
"Please, Auntie."
Knowing the host felt threatened, Amber's lips grew wider. While laughing silently, she watched the butler descend the stairs.
"What do you want to say?" Gabriella asked, successfully bringing back the stiffness in the guest's face.
"I heard you have a high IQ. Shouldn't you be able to guess?" Amber' sarcasm made Gabriella's blood boil.
"Please don't beat around the bush."
"I know that someone asked you to leave Max."
A second later, silence froze the atmosphere. Gabriella seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own breath. Her lungs could no longer hide the worry.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Gabriella didn't dare move. Her husband was still asleep, like a baby prone on his mother's body. "Max?" the woman whispered, testing. After a few seconds, no sound was heard. The man remained unmoved. Knowing that her husband was comfortable with the soft pillows, Gabriella's lips automatically curled into a small curve. "You must be tired," she muttered as she touched her husband's hair. Silently, the woman watched the details of the face under her chin. The eyes that she often looked at, were hiding behind wide eyelids. The lips that often gave her warmth, were still silent. Slowly, sadness began to vibrate in her lungs. “I will definitely miss you so much,” Gabriella thought before swallowing hard.

"Good morning, Mia," Max said cheerfully.The young woman behind the desk was suddenly wide-eyed. With a stiff nod, she returned the CEO's greeting. "Good morning, Sir. Is there any good news today? Your face looks very bright."A smile immediately answered the second secretary's question. "There's no good news yet. I still haven't found a proper defense."Mia's brow arch instantly turned into a frown. Seeing that expression, the CEO snorted in amusement.“Today is my wife's birthday and tonight, we have a small party at home. Come if you have time," Max said, successfully clearing the woman's confusion."No wonder you look happy. It turns out, it's Miss Gabriella's birthday,” Mia nodded, pouting her lips."Not Miss Gabriella, but Mrs. Evans," the man corrected with narrowed eyes.In just an instant, the woman raised a hand over her mouth.

CEO's Love in Trap 83. Fact Reversal
“Is my guess right? All of this is my father's doing?" Max asked, still staring at the secretary's back. After a moment of silence, Sebastian finally turned to look at the CEO. “Why are you accusing your own father? Have you lost your mind?” he asked stiffly. Unexpectedly, Max's lips began to curl. After exhaling quickly, he grimaced while shaking his head. "I didn't think it was really my father. What should I do to fight him? I don't want to be a rebellious son," he muttered with a dreamy look. Knowing that Max had found the truth, Sebastian's throat felt dry. He was assigned to increase the pressure in the CEO's head, but instead he was pressed and at a loss for words. "I really don't understand, what I do wrong that you secretly stab me. Why am I given the trust if it ends up being dropped like this? Did my father tell you his motives?” Sebastian's lips trembled silently. His brain never finished processing a safe answer to say. Ju

Unfortunately, no matter how loud he called, his wife still didn't answer.Swallowing hard, Max clutched his head which felt like it was about to burst."There's no way she's running away again. No," he shook his head trying to deny it. “Gaby has promised to celebrate her birthday together. There's no way she could leave."After a brief contemplation, the man's eyebrows rose to the maximum. Without wasting any time, he ran towards the guard post."Where's my wife?" Max asked, no longer thinking about politeness. Two pale-faced guards automatically stood facing him.“Eng… that….”"Where?" The CEO's insistence made the guards gasp."Something has happened.""Tell the truth quickly!" Max rebuked. He had never been so angry before.With shaking eyes, a guard began to deliver a report.“This morning, while
CEO's Love in Trap 85. Herbert's Confession
Max's breath caught for a moment. The statement of the old man had deepened the furrow of his brows. "What do you mean, Dad?"Casually, Herbert sat down on the sofa and placed a stack of documents on the table. Instead of giving an answer, the old man opened the topmost sheet of paper.“As it turns out, today is her birthday. Oh, I'm so sorry," he muttered, successfully stealing the youngest son's attention.“His father is Tomy and his mother is Brenda. Tsk, I still wonder why they don't have last names.""Why do you have documents about my wife, Dad?" Max interrupted with clenched fists. Suspicion had returned to the surface.With slightly raised eyebrows, Herbert met the CEO's gaze. "Your wife? Do you still consider the woman who left you as a wife?

CEO's Love in Trap 86. Max's Choice
Getting a testing question, Max suddenly straightened face. His throbbing jaws became clearer, as did the angry look in his eyes. "Did you have this bad attitude back then?" he asked slowly and emphatically. Hearing those unexpected words, Herbert's eyes widened slightly. "What are you talking about?" A petty snort spontaneously escaped the CEO's mouth. "If you already had such a selfish and cunning mind in the past, it's no wonder that Mama cheated on you." In just seconds, the old man was standing with hands clenched tightly. “Watch your mouth! Why do you justify the despicable act of that sly woman?” Once again, the corner of Max's lips twitched sadly. "Then, can this despicable act of yours be justified?" A second later, the CEO stepped forward and straightened the crumpled sheet of photos. "Didn't you say that I was smart?" After asking, the man showed a photo of his wife receiving two pieces of paper from Herbert.

Having managed to get the white teddy bear, he got out of the car filled with deflated balloons.“Are you all right, Sir?” someone asked in a pinched voice.Unexpectedly, Max ignored like he didn't listen. The man continued to stagger while chanting his wife's name. No visible blood. However, everyone was worried by his pale face."Sir? How about we go to the hospital?”Max turned to the woman who was standing not far from him. Instead of answering, he whispered, "Gabriella?"Two seconds later, the man fell on the asphalt. Hysterical shrieks immediately rang out from the people surrounding him.“Call an ambulance!”"Is there a doctor around here?""How about we just take him to the nearest hospital?"Max had no idea about the panic around him.
