Chapter 105 Reveal Gloria's Identity!
Maria discussed with Alphonse about filming at the Williams family home. First, it would establish her as Mrs. Williams. Second, it would protect her by preventing James from forcing her to have an abortion during the live broadcast.
But she never expected to be so lucky that James would return to the country today, just in time for the production team's filming.
So there was James, tall and well-built in his suit, exposed to the cameras.
Meanwhile, Caspian looked at the gloomy sky. Although there was no snow in Silverlake Springs today, it looked like heavy rain was coming.
He desperately wanted to know if Gloria was okay.
Wasn't this Maria's deliberate doing?
Gloria was pregnant. How could she face James and the people she knew treating Maria as his wife?
There was only one solution to this situation.
James would walk through the crowd toward Gloria, take her hand, and clarify to the cameras that Gloria was his wife.
And Maria was just a fake!
Would he dare?
The consequence wouldn't just be losing the contract. Maria had already exposed that they had a child together. He would be condemned!
If James did this, his losses would be huge!
He had just secured several new deals abroad. His chip empire dream was about to come true.
What mattered more to him—Gloria or his bright future?
Caspian impatiently twisted his bracelet, hating that he had returned to Crystalbrook and couldn't be by Gloria's side at this moment.
Gloria's sleepiness vanished the instant she saw James.
For a moment she was stunned. Even the best screenwriter couldn't write such a dramatic scene.
Cold wind mixed with a few raindrops hit her face, pulling Gloria's thoughts back to reality.
Their divorce judgment was about to be finalized. She didn't want anything to happen at this critical moment.
It was as if only those three people existed in the world.
Fate had pushed James to the choice button, forcing him to make his final decision.
James's blood froze. His heart felt gripped by an invisible hand, and his throat was extremely dry.
When he saw all those crew members with cameras around, he had already guessed this was a filming.
He wanted to walk toward Gloria, but a contract appeared in his mind.
But soon he pushed those thoughts away. He had been thinking about revealing Gloria's identity recently.
Although today's cost was higher than before, if it was recorded they could just edit it out. He didn't want to miss Gloria again.
Just as James was about to walk toward Gloria, Mabel and Hannah appeared in the courtyard.
"James, you're back. I thought you'd be abroad for a few more days, so I didn't tell you Maria was filming a live variety show."
James's body stiffened. He said in a low voice, "Live broadcast?"
Hannah said with a smile, "Yes, James."
James's step forward stopped at that moment.
Hannah's boyfriend also came—the well-known playboy Henry Sanchez.
She deliberately ran up to Henry and held out the hand she had cut her wrist with. "Hello, I'm your fan. I've liked you for a long time."
Henry was terrified. He knew Hannah was somewhat crazy, but he didn't expect her to be so bold during a live broadcast.
The director cut the camera to Gloria. Caspian finally saw the person he'd been thinking about.
Through the slanting rain, he saw Gloria's slightly reddened eyes.
The way she looked now broke his heart. She made him feel so sorry for her.
Gloria lifted her legs and walked step by step toward James.
She never thought their first exposure to the media would be in such a setting.
Gloria wore a faint official smile. She took the initiative to extend her hand to James: "Hello, Mr. Williams."
Alphonse was thrilled to see this scene and quickly directed the crew: "Close-up! Hurry!"
These two meeting was as rare as Mars hitting Earth!
James looked into Gloria's calm eyes. It was as if he was just an unfamiliar stranger to her.
His heart ached faintly. Blood rushed to his head. The urge to reveal Gloria's identity grew stronger and stronger.
She was his wife. That was the truth!
