Chapter146.

At the top floor of the Campbell Group.

The CEO's office was quiet, except for the sound of Gabriel flipping through documents. After receiving the news,

Ezra hurriedly knocked on the door and said, “Mr. Campbell, Byron called and said that Ms. Robinson and Leila

had got to the Campbell's mansion for the banquet!”

Gabriel knew why Arthur arranged this banquet, so he deliberately stayed at the company to work overtime.

When he heard that Hazel took Leila to the banquet, his breath couldn't help but get faster. He lapsed into

silence.

As tpassed, a glimmer of brightness gradually appeared in his eyes.

Gabriel said, his voice filled with a hint of anticipation, “I'll go back to the mansion.”

He got up and grabbed his coat, walking briskly outta the office.

After hearing Byron's words, Ezra knew Gabriel would definitely not sit still upon learning that, so he had already

instructed the driver to wait in the underground garage downstairs.

And he was right!

Within less than two minutes, Gabriel decided to go home.

Ezra hurriedly ran over and pressed the elevator button. The two of them quickly left the top floor.

In the elevator, Ezra recalled what he had just noticed. Emma was still working. He couldn't help but exclaim,

“Ms. Morris is so hardworking.”

Although Gabriel was a workaholic who worked tirelessly throughout the year, he did not impose. strict demands

on his employees. As long as they completed their work, they could leave on time. However, Emma was always

the last one to leave the office.

“Arrange the work reasonably in the future.”

Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Ezra pondered over the recent workload he had assigned to other secretaries and

realized that he hadn't assigned Emma too much work.

He thought, “Emma is diligent, but she has to work overtevery day. Does this mean her ability is poor?”

Little did they know, in the secretary's office at that moment, Emma was sitting in the most secluded corner with

a satisfied smile

a satisfied smile as she saw Jade’s reply on her phone.

Jade sent Emma a text, “I'll work with you.”

Before Emma left the office, she locked her gaze on Gabriel's office covetously and then headed towards the

employee elevator.

The four-inch stiletto heels made a clattering sound on the tiled floor, making the office particularly dark and

eerie after the lights were turned off.

However, as the elevator door opened, Emma casually glanced at the surveillance camera above the elevator.

Her gaze had already becamiable, as she warmly greeted her colleagues who were working overtime.

Chapter 146

The three kids held hands and left the lounge.

Only Hazel and Arthur were left in the room, which was reigned by silence. Arthur first asked her about her

situation in the past two years, and then subtly inquired about Leila’s biological father.

Hazel was extremely grateful that the hospital she had chosen was a private hospital owned by the Morans. With

Joe's help, she managed to conceal her second pregnancy flawlenly. She looked calmly at Arthur and

said, “Actually, I also don’t know who Leila’s biological father is.”

“When | saw the trending topic back then, seeing Gabriel getting close to Gianna with Jaxon and Joshua, | felt

disheartened and wanted to have a child of my own. So, | went to the sperm bank and bought a sperm.”

Hazel’s eyes showed no signs of panic, and her smile was composed.

Her explanation sounded reasonable, but Arthur was shrewd.

Leila’s facial features resembled Hazel’s a lot. However, as Gabriel grew up with Arthur since childhood, Arthur

knew better than anyone what Gabriel looked like when he was young

Leila looked at least 30% like the young version of Gabriel. How could Leila be the child of a sperm Hazel bought

randomly?

Arthur's thoughts wavered as Hazel asked him to take a paternity test.

No matter what, he'd take the paternity test first.

He assumed Gabriel's and Leila’s samples had already been sent for a test.

Arthur ordered Byron to do all this in secret, and Gabriel was unaware of that.

Actually, Arthur had wanted to do this ever since the day he found out that Hazel had a daughter “Zell, let's put

aside the matter of Leila for now. Whether she is my great-granddaughter or not, really like her. In the future,

whenever you have time, bring her here to see me.

Hazel neither agreed nor refused, but politely smiled.

She knew that Arthur invited her over not only because he suspected that Leila was his great-granddaughter. He

must be up to something else.

She thought about it and recalled that she had sent Yusuf to jail. This was the only thing that was possibly

related to the Campbell family.

No matter how Jade married into the Campbell family, she was still Gabriel's stepmother. Did Arthur want to

stand up for her?

Or was it...

Hazel didn’t want to think about another possibility, nor did she want to.

She later found out that it was actually Arthur who sent Andrew to see her at school.

The person who truly wanted her to marry Gabriel was Arthur.

But now, she only wanted to stay far away from Gabriel. It was best for them to keep a distance, except for

matters involving Jaxon and Joshua.

But Arthur didn’t seem to think so.

“Gabe’s mother, a very cold but highly capable woman, was always busy with work and never

showed Gabe much maternal love.

“You must know what kind of person his father is.”

Arthur sighed as he spoke.

Scouples through arranged marriage might fall in love after getting married and live a happy life.

He thought Gabriel's parents could also do the sand fall in love as they got to know each other, but little did

he know that his son was such a troublemaker!

In the end, Andrew cheated on Evelyn and even brought back the ill-mannered Jade, which made Arthur SO

angry that he almost expelled Joshua from the Campbell

Campbell family.

No matter what, Arthur felt he had made a mistake.

Hazel remained silent for a long tupon hearing that.

Then, she heard Arthur heave a long sigh.

“Zell, Gabe has been brought up bysince his childhood, and although I've taught him a lot, | myself am not

good at relationships.

“So, he has always had problems with relationships.

“You must have suffered a lot during the five years.”

Hazel smiled and locked eyes with Arthur, calmly saying, “Arthur, it has all passed.”

She was not someone who liked to look back. Whether it was about relationships or her career, she always

preferred to move forward.

Whether she had suffered or not, it was all in the past. Being too concerned about the past would only make her

mentally drained and stop her from embracing a better future.

Noticing that Hazel was smiling from the bottom of her heart, Arthur still wanted to put in a few good words for

his grandson in the end.

“Zell, | know that you and Gabe got divorced back then because your heart was broken. It was indeed Gabe's

fault. He repaid kindness to the wrong people foolishly, missing out on the real treasure. The suffering of these

past two years is what he deserved.”

Arthur may not have realized it himself, but no matter how rational he tried to be, he would still subconsciously

favor his grandson in this matter.

“But Jaxon and Joshua are only six years old, they need a stable family and their biological parents to be by their

side. This is better for their growth.”

Arthur's voice deepened as he asked her, “Even for the sake of the two children, you still don’t want to remarry

Gabe?”

Just a door away, Gabriel held his breath.

Hazel was infuriated by Arthur's words. Who said that children would definitely not have a good life if their

parents got divorced?

Hazel didn’t wanna show respect for Arthur anymore.

She said, “Arthur, Gabriel and | are merely divorced. It's not like I'm dead.”
