Love Is a Sweet Addiction

When Amanda heard his words, she immediately said, “What’s the use of your apologizing? Anne lost all her face in front of so many people, and it also has brought disgrace on the Gibsons.”

“What do you think should be done? The wedding dress was indeed provided by Esther, but it was snatched away by Miss Anne. Now that there is a problem with the wedding dress and you blame Esther with no evidence. It is unfair to Esther.”

Amanda said angrily, “Evidence? Do we still need evidence? Even if I bought a wedding dress in a shop, it wouldn’t be as bad as this one, right? What’s more, it’s a wedding dress that Esther personally sewed for herself. If it wasn’t for the fact that she deliberately ruined it, how could the wedding dress have torn so easily?”

After Amanda finished, she turned to Clark and Gill, “Dad, Mom, am I right?”

Clark took a deep breath in annoyance and said, “Terence is right. We can’t blame Esther without evidence. We still need to investigate.” Clark’s gaze fell on Terence and he said, “If it was Esther who did it, Terence, you must take responsibility for this!”

Gill said, “Master Gibson, if it was Esther who did it, then she should take responsibility for this. How could she let Terence take the blame for her?”

Clark glared at her and said, “If Esther did it on purpose, this is not a small matter. Esther is the wife of Terence. If he does not discipline his wife well, does he not have to take responsibility?”

“But how are you going to let Terence take responsibility for this? You can’t kick Esther out of the Gibson family, right?”

Clark said, “If she did it, we won’t let her stay in the Gibson’s.”

Terence remained calm. He nodded to Clark and Gill, saying, “If it was Esther who did it, I would be willing to take the responsibility.”

Clark glanced at Terence and took a deep breath, saying, “No matter what, you must let Esther perform well at the banquet tonight. Don’t disgrace our family.”

“Dad, don’t worry.”

“Okay! You can go out.”

Terence bowed to everyone and turned to walk out of the study.

After Terence left, Clark punched the table angrily and said, “We shouldn’t let the two sisters marry into our family together. They haven’t even started to get along with each other, but they started fighting.”

Amanda said in a low voice, “Dad, it’s too late to say anything now. Anne is pregnant.”

Gill also shook her head and said, “They are sisters. They should help each other, but the two of them are like enemies.”

…

The banquet was held at Royal Hotel.

Esther knew that the Gibsons treated her as a vicious woman who deliberately took revenge on Anne for a wedding dress and let Anne make a fool of herself in public. She even heard that Terence was reprimanded by his parents for her.

Although she felt disappointed at Terence for not trusting her, she still felt ashamed when she thought of how he had been implicated by her.

She had always wanted to take back the wedding dress to study the cause of the accident, but the wedding dress had been taken away by the Gibsons to investigate.

She didn’t be afraid.

She felt that the Gibsons would no longer need her to attend the banquet, so she never left her bedroom after returning to the Gibson’s at noon.

At about four in the afternoon, when she woke up, the Gibson’s was quiet, and everyone must have gone to the hotel.

She picked up the cup and walked downstairs while rubbing her neck, intending to find some coffee. Just as she stepped down the spiral staircase, she was stunned by a sudden whistle from below.

She unconsciously stopped and opened her eyes. She found a young man slowly walking up from the bottom of the spiral staircase. The man was tall, handsome, and had a good temperament. However, he wore a faint smile.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The man was also looking at her with a coquettish smile. Was he the one who whistled just now?

Esther turned to look back and found that there was no one behind her. Then she was sure that this strange man was indeed smiling at her.

She asked with a frown, “Who are you?”

Although today was a great day for the Gibsons, they did not play host to guests in the Gibson’s, not even relatives. Why did this man appear in the Gibson’s?

“I am…” He stopped and smiled. He sized Esther up and said, “Let me guess, you must be the heroine who dared to disturb the wedding in the morning. Am I right?”

Esther was speechless. Even he said so…

It seemed that this thing had spread throughout City R in a day. But she didn’t do it. It was something unrelated to her!

“Miss, you don’t have to be embarrassed. I admire your courage to bow down to evil forces.” The man stepped forward and stood in front of Esther with a smile.

Esther unconsciously took a step back and looked at him, asking, “Why are you so sure that I did it? Who are you?”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kilborn.” The man suddenly reached out to Esther.

Kilborn? This name was a little familiar. Esther suddenly remembered that James had told her before that he had an older brother who had no blood source relationship. Kilborn was adopted by James’ parents. Because Kilborn was not a descendant of the Gibson family, he had been sent out by Clark to manage the branch company.

He was James’ older brother who was disliked by the Gibsons!

“You finally remember who I am?” Kilborn smiled at Esther, his hand still half-raised in front of her.

“I remember now. You are Kilborn. I should call you nephew, right?” Esther gave him a mocking smile.

“Don’t call me nephew.”

“Why?”

“If Uncle Terence divorces you because of this incident this morning, I will take you away.”

Would Terence divorce her? No!

At that time, the Gibsons agreed to let her marry Terence because she had the same blood type as Terence, and only she could give birth to a child for Terence. Clark searched all over the country to find a woman who had the same blood type as Terence, and certainly would not let her go so easily.

Unless Terence did not want to have children and did not want to get the property in the Gibson family, he wouldn’t divorce Esther.

“Alright, thank you.” Esther gave a smile.

“You want to leave after causing trouble? Do you think the Gibsons will let you go?” As a cold voice sounded, the two people on the spiral staircase turned to look downstairs at the same time.
