Chapter 42 " These two are not comparable . " Bradley frowned . " How are they not comparable ? Just because Mr. Henderson is a man and Ms. Mendoza is a woman ? Nowadays , it's gender equality , Mr. Ferrell . " Giselle sat up straight and fastened her seatbelt . " And , considering what you said to Mr. Wellington outside about being a third - wheeler , I've been wanting to ask you a question . To you , who is the third- wheeler between Sarah and me ? " The atmosphere inside the car suddenly fell silent . Apart from the sound of the car engine , there were only the shallow breaths of the two . Giselle didn't expect Bradley to answer . She laughed self - mockingly . There's a saying on the internet that goes , the one not loved is the third - wheeler , I know your answer even if you don't say it . Now I understand that forcing something will never make it sweet . " She paused , then turned to Bradley . Both her tone and expression were very serious . " So , Mr. Ferrell , now that I've let go , can't you let me go as well ? " Bradley kept his eyes on the road while his lips were tightly pursed . The speed of the car was steady , yet he drove as if in a racing competition . After a long time , a suppressed anger finally overflowed from Bradley's mouth . " Did you come back well prepared for a divorce ? You lied to me that night at Brook Villa . " Although he already knew the answer , he felt the need to ask for the details . Even his tone was declarative rather than interrogative . Giselle seemed relatively calm . " Indeed , I was well prepared for a divorce . Don't you have the same preparation as well ? Why talk to me as if I'm the one who hurt you ? If you feel I've wronged you , I can apologise . " She admitted it openly , and her calm attitude made Bradley feel like punching into cotton . But was she wrong ? He was the one who initiated the divorce . Even if she had made up her mind early on , he had acted first . Why was he angry ? Everything seemed logical , but Bradley felt a burning sensation in his chest . He raised his hand and loosened his tie . He was unwilling to dwell on the topic of divorce with Giselle . Changing the subject , he asked , " How did you get to know the people from the Henderson family ? " Giselle glanced at him inexplicably . " Mr. Ferrell , how does that concern you ? It's personal privacy , and I don't want to answer that . " And by that , she meant it was none of his business ! Giselle closed her eyes as if wanting to rest . Bradley took a deep breath before patiently continuing with the topic . " The Henderson family used to be based in Jedburgh , and they suddenly showed up in Accreton with more than one Henderson family member . In all the years you've been with Grandpa Ethan , did you ever think they were approaching you with bad intentions ? " His words were tactful , but Giselle sensed a deeper meaning . The people from the Henderson family might have malicious intentions , or perhaps she , in her effort to climb the social ladder , was willingly divulging information to them . She wondered if Bradley had such suspicions . She , on the other hand , had . She opened her eyes and chuckled with a thick sense of mockery . Suddenly , she became curious about whether she was followed abroad because of Sarah or if Bradley were afraid she would disclose some secrets of the Ferrell Group . After all , in the eyes of outsiders , she was once Ethan's chosen successor as the next lady of the Ferrell family . Having been by Ethan's side for several years , how could she not have heard something from the old man's mouth ? In fact , she did know some things . 1/3 < Chapter 42 +30 Vouchers Otherwise , after Bradley took over the Ferrell Group , she wouldn't have secretly helped him by cooperating under the name of Vortex Studio . Ethan had mentioned that there were ambitious people within the company . With only Bradley left in the Ferrell family , it was inevitable that the company would face instability . She harboured the most sincere feelings for him at that time . Even though she was sent abroad , she still clung to the illusion of their relationship . She exerted every effort , hoping that he had no lingering worries after taking over the company . Hence , love was as intense as it was thorough . Did she hate him ? The answer was no . Loving him was her desire , and he had never given her any hope . Since Sarah appeared , his gaze had never fallen on Giselle . Still , he had never looked back at her from the beginning , so why harbour hatred ? She had tired herself enough by being overly sentimental . Why burdened herself even more ? But she still couldn't understand how the boy who once protected her from being bullied , even called her " little wifey , " could have changed so drastically . Was it really the case that children's words were too innocent to be taken seriously ? Even the slightest bit of kindness he had for her disappeared utterly . She slowly voiced her question , " Bradley , if things were as you suspect , would you kill me and make me disappear from this world ? " " Giselle , what nonsense are you talking about ! " Bradley interrupted her without hesitation . Could one speak so casually about matters of life and death ? How could he kill her ? He wouldn't do that no matter what . Just then , he sensed that his tone was a bit heavy , and Giselle's mood seemed off . He softened his tone . " Gigi , why would you ask such a thing ? " Giselle remained silent for a moment , then closed her eyes again . " It's nothing . I'm just asking . Don't take it to heart . " Based on Bradley's tone , he seemed unaware that he had sent someone to assassinate her abroad . But the clues Michael and the others found clearly pointed to the Ferrell family . Either Bradley was covering up , or Sarah was using his power to do something behind his back . But Bradley had no reason to lie to her . Forget it . It was not important anymore . She had wanted to ask Bradley , but without substantial evidence , he wouldn't believe her . Moreover , both of their divorces were already set . The reason why Sarah had been trying to eliminate her was due to title of Mrs. Ferrell . Now that their divorce was pending settlement , Sarah surely wouldn't engage in any more dirty tricks . It was too exhausting . It was better to just let it be . The car smoothly drove toward Brook Villa , and the night scene outside slowly passed . When Bradley looked at Giselle again , her breathing had calmed . Compared to when she had her eyes open and looked resentful , she now appeared much more obedient . It was just that the suit she was wearing was a bit distracting . He slowly reduced the speed of the car and played gentle instrumental music . Giselle had thought it was going to be a good dream . Still , she jumped awake . She dreamed of Bradley carrying her and that his scent surrounded her . Thus , she woke up from the dream . As soon as she opened her eyes , she was met with Bradley's zoomed - in handsome face . Giselle instinctively pushed him away . " What are you doing ! " Bradley was caught off guard . He staggered a few steps before regaining his balance . 2/3 < Chapter 42 +30 Vouchers He looked at Giselle with a helpless expression . " I saw you sleeping soundly and didn't want to wake you up . But just as I was planning to carry you back to your room to sleep , you woke up . Let's get out of the car . " Following that , he opened the car door . Like a gentleman , he invited her to get out of the vehicle . Giselle looked at him suspiciously , then stepped out with her high heels . Even though she was back in the familiar place , the feeling was completely different this time . While the divorce agreement stated that Brook Villa belonged to her , she didn't want it . She didn't want anything related to him . Without waiting for Bradley , she lifted her skirt and walked slowly toward the villa . However , Bradley had long legs . He caught up with her in just a few steps . " What did you mean by your question in the car ? " J Chapter Comments AD Watch Ads to Get 8 Vouchers יד
