Chapter 47 I Heard You and Ms. Waverly Are Getting Married
Emily ignored Gabriel.
Immediately, Gabriel changed his mind about denying the engagement. Now, he wanted to see her response if he didn’t.
Emily was so desperate for a divorce, so he wondered if she could remain indifferent if she heard he was marrying someone else.
Driven by this twisted curiosity, he chose to stay silent.
His silence was all the confirmation the nurses needed, and the nurses‘ station erupted into another wave of cheers.
Amelia’s heart soared when Gabriel didn’t deny it–her gamble had paid off!
She quickly stepped forward and looped an arm around him. “Gabe, don’t listen to them. We haven’t even set a date yet.”
Amelia’s performance of playing the blushing bride–to–be sealed the rumor as a fact.
“Congratulations, Mrs. Holton!” someone shouted.
Soon, the title “Mrs. Holton” echoed around them.
Gabriel froze as he instinctively glanced toward Emily.
She had finally looked up, but her expression was infuriatingly calm.
Her reaction felt like a blow to his chest, and an unpleasant emotion began to surge within him.
By midday, the news of Gabriel’s engagement to Amelia had spread throughout the entire hospital. At the same time, Emily became the laughingstock of the hospital.
Yet, she carried on as if nothing was wrong. She made her rounds, updated patient charts, and assisted in surgeries.
Meanwhile, Gabriel was waiting. He waited for her to confront him, to demand an explanation. He even had Roman casually leak details about him and Amelia planning their wedding.
But nothing came.
Emily’s silence was more maddening than her previous pleas for a divorce.

A week later, Gabriel parked his black Bentley outside her apartment building. He leaned against the driver’s side door with a cigarette in his fingers.
He had been waiting for a long time.
Finally, the familiar, slender figure appeared under the glow of a streetlight.
Emily was walking home with a convenience store bag in her hand. She saw Gabriel, but she
didn’t slow down.
In the end, Gabriel put out the cigarette and forcefully blocked her path.
Emily calmly looked up at him.
She seemed to have lost some weight. Her chin looked sharper, which made her eyes appear even larger than before.
The empty expression on her face only fanned the flames of Gabriel’s anger. He thought she would beg and grovel after being humiliated. But, she didn’t.
Emily broke the silence first. “Can I help you, Mr. Holton?” she flatly asked.
Gabriel stared at her, then let out a low, humorless laugh. “What’s the matter? Not going to invite me up?”
Emily’s eyes swept over Gabriel’s face before she offered a faint, cold smile. “Congratulations, Mr. Holton. I hear you and Ms. Waverly are getting married.”
The words caught Gabriel completely off guard. Of all the reactions he had anticipated, this
wasn’t one of them.
He couldn’t believe she was congratulating him. He tightly grabbed her wrist. “You’re happy
about this?”
A sharp, bruising pain shot through Emily’s wrist. She furrowed her brows for just an instant before she regained her composure. “I wouldn’t say I’m happy about it. I just think the two of you make a great couple.”
Gabriel’s face darkened as he pulled her sharply toward him. “Is that so?” He leaned forward and viciously whispered, “I’m going to give Amelia the grandest wedding anyone’s ever seen.”
He stared into her eyes, watching for any reaction.
“But I’ll never divorce you, Emily.”
He wanted her to watch him with another woman. He wanted her to keep the title of “Mrs. Holton” while living like a hidden mistress. This was her real punishment.
“I’ll even bring you to every event where I’m with her,” he continued. “I’ll let everyone see

how I tossed you aside, but you still can’t leave. You’ll spend your life as the other woman.‘
Gabriel thought this would break Emily.
Instead, Emily laughed, and when she looked up, there was a scornful glimmer in her eyes. ” What if I post our marriage certificate online? Then, everyone will know Amelia’s marrying a married man. We’ll see who the real other woman is then,” Emily sneered.
A twisted sense of satisfaction rose within Gabriel.
This proved that Emily still cared.
“Try it,” he said, releasing her wrist. He then calmly adjusted his cuff. “I promise you, the second you hit send, you will receive a notice stating that Sterling Group is bankrupt.”
