Love Full of Sins

North City.

On the round-the-city highway, a red sports car roared past.

All of a sudden, the car began to sway from side to side as if it were a drunk person. However, the speed of the car wasn't slowed. Only crazy car horns sounded.

However, before the surrounding cars could react to it, the car bumped against the traffic barriers hard and turned over into the nearby ditch...

Gabrielle Morton was thrown out of the car and fell on the ground heavily. At that moment, her mind was clear. She felt that there were many holes in her body. The blood and strength all over were flowing away...

So, that was how death felt.

But she didn't want to die. She still had a lot of things to do. She couldn't let her grandfather have the grief of saying goodbye to the deceased young.

"Little Gaby, hold on..." Being in a daze, she saw a person run towards her and carry her into the car, "Little Gaby, don't sleep..."

Feeling some tears on her face, Gabrielle smiled slowly, opened her mouth, and tried to say something. But she spat out a mouthful of blood and then lost consciousness.

Without knowing how long it had been, Gabrielle sat up abruptly and gasped for breath. It seemed that she still had the pain, but...

Looking around, she realized that she sat on the rural adobe Kang (a bed made of bricks), where there was a bamboo bed-mat for summer and a cotton blanket printed with some peonies. A white mosquito net was hung overhead. Beside her, some papercuts were pasted on the wooden windows. There was a brown wooden comb and a pink round mirror on the windowsill.

The sun slanted through the windows, which made her feel warm.

Gabrielle stretched out her hand and took up the round mirror from the windowsill. A very delicate small face, the arch eyebrows, and a pair of almond eyes appeared in the mirror with a lot of classical charms. She looked a little childish because she was young. Moreover, she looked pale from these days' misfortune.

The owner of this face was Joyce Cotton, who was seventeen years old. She had grown up in Cotton Village since she was little.

Cotton Village was eight hundred kilometers away from North City.

Three days ago, Joyce's grandfather, Leon Cotton, who brought her up, passed away. She hadn't eaten or drunk for three days. After having his coffin buried this morning, she fainted on his grave mound.

At last, it was Gabrielle that woke up.

"Joyce, you finally wake up." An old woman with white hair came in while carrying a bowl. "A dead man cannot be restored to life. Don't feel too bad about it. Leon also hoped you could live well, didn't he? Have some congee first."

"Thank you, Edith." Gabrielle was indeed hungry. But she still took sips of congee and nearly finished half a bowl due to her breeding. The millet gruel was very delicious.

"Take care of yourself from now on." Edith Hill smiled.

Gabrielle nodded. It was hard for her to have her rebirth. She would look after herself carefully.

However, David Parker and Tiffany Lam, She swore that they would taste twice as much of all that they had done to her.

Three days later.

Sitting on the small hill behind the house, Gabrielle held two newspapers in her hands. One of them was three days ago. The other was for today.

Three days ago, the headline news of the front page of the newspaper was about the Morton Family of North City. It said at two o'clock this afternoon, Miss Gabrielle Morton, the president of the Morton Group, drove over the speed limit and had a serious traffic accident on the round-the-city highway. Miss Morton died on the way to the hospital. After learning of the news, the chairman of the board had a stroke and was hospitalized...

Drove over the speed limit?

Bullshit! The car was out of control because its brake didn't work.

In today's newspaper, it was reported that losing the helmsman aroused much fear in the Morton Group. Its stock price had been falling to limit down for three days running. As a sequential successor of the Morton Group, Tiffany Lam, who was also Keefe Morton's granddaughter, was entrusted with a mission at a critical moment. She took over the Morton Group and became its president...

Having the devastating hatred in her eyes, Gabrielle clenched her fists. She couldn't calm down until her fingernails pierced her palms where some blood dropped.

Looking at her bright red palms, she thought that blood debts must be repaid in kind.

Keefe, you must wait for little Gaby to get back!

When Gabrielle tried to find an opportunity and a reason to go to North City, someone came here from Bankstown.

"Are you Joyce?" At the moment when Yves Johnson saw Gabrielle, his eyes reddened. "I'm your father."

Gabrielle blinked her eyes. Unexpectedly, Joyce was Yves's daughter?

She knew Yves, who was the head of the Johnson Family in Bankstown and the president of the Johnson Group.

In her previous life, she met with Yves a few times. In order to cooperate with the Venus Group, this old devil used some dirty tricks. Although he didn't get his way, what he had done was quite disgusting.

However, in the end, the Venus Group had signed the contract with the Morton Group.

The god of destiny made fools of the people. She was reborn as Yves's illegitimate daughter.

Yves's assistant, Will Johnson, quickly handed her a paper bag.

Gabrielle glanced at Will, who was absolutely a loyal lackey of Yves, stretched out her hand, took the paper bag, and opened it. There was a paternity test report inside.

"Two months ago, Mr. Cotton found me and told me about you. He also brought your hair to me. He said that he had a fatal illness and would die soon. He couldn't bear to leave you alone in the world. I didn't know that I had a daughter outside until I heard these..." Yves hastily took out a tissue and wiped his eyes, "Mr. Cotton said that there was a lady's gold watch in your swaddling clothes at that time, which I specially ordered for your mother in those days..."

Gabrielle turned around, walked into the house, and took out a velvet bag. There was a Swiss gold watch in the bag indeed.

"KC was engraved on the back of the watch, which are the initials of your mother's name, Kelly Cotton." Yves smiled, "I never thought I would see this after all these years."

Gabrielle's eyes reddened, "I've never seen my mother. And now, Leon is gone too."

"It's okay. You're the third daughter of the Johnson Family. You're my biological daughter. I will take good care of you from now on." Yves stated his position quickly.

The third daughter of the Johnson Family, this identity sounded pretty good.

Although the Johnson Family was also a dangerous place, she had to go there. She needed to be the third daughter of the Johnson Family and return to the high society of North City as soon as possible. And the real Joyce also needed to be approved.

Two days later, Gabrielle entrusted the house and fields to Edith, who lived next door. She only carried a bamboo case and got into the jeep that came to pick her up.

The driver's name was Jacob Cecil. He was the bodyguard and driver of the Johnson Family.

"Lady Joyce, sit tight. This part of the road condition isn't good." Jacob pinched his right wrist and started the car.

Gabrielle glanced at Jacob and nodded slightly.

In Joyce's memory, the road, which went out of the village wasn't smooth. After experiencing it personally, she found that it was full of bumps and hollows. The jeep swayed so hard that she wanted to vomit. Fortunately, the jeep chassis was high. Otherwise, they might not be able to leave the village.

"Jacob, how long have you been working in the Johnson Family?" Gabrielle asked casually.

"Lady Joyce, I came here at the end of April of last year." Jacob didn't hide it, "I signed a one-year contract."

"You were a soldier?"

"Yes." Jacob nodded his head.

Gabrielle smiled. Both Keefe and Leon had been soldiers. Thus, she was well disposed towards soldiers. She also paid her inexplicable respect to them.

Jacob glanced at Gabrielle. Her light smile suddenly made him feel very warm.

While staggering, the car didn't leave the village so far. All of a sudden, a loud crash of thunder sounded. Then, it rained heavily. The unsurfaced road, which wasn't smooth, became harder to drive on.

"Stop the car." Gabrielle suddenly said.

Jacob was stunned, "Lady Joyce?"

"I'll drive the car," Gabrielle said in a low voice, but her tone was firm.

Jacob frowned. He wanted to say no.

"You've hurt your right wrist. It doesn't heal up because you didn't have a timely medical treatment at that time. If you continue to put into gear with force, your right hand will be disabled."

Jacob subconsciously braked the car and goggled at her in surprise. Wasn't this the second time for them to meet each other? The first time, they didn't even speak.

"One of the Cotton Family's ancestors was an imperial physician. Leon had been working as a barefoot doctor in the village for years." Gabrielle glanced at Jacob. "I had been imperceptibly influenced by what I constantly saw and heard. Isn't it normal for me to perceive your injury? If we have a smooth road and good weather, it'll be fine. But in this case, it's not good for you to drive. I have a driver's license. You can trust me."

Jacob just realized that he had forgotten himself. He quickly calmed down and crawled to the front passenger seat.

Gabrielle crawled to the driver's seat from behind and started the car skillfully.

Jacob lowered his head and rubbed his wrist. Indeed, the weather was bad. The road wasn't smooth. Thus, he needed to shift gears frequently and hold the steering wheel with force. His wrist began to hurt faintly and become weak.

"I can cure you." Gabrielle looked straight ahead and said faintly.

Jacob instantly turned around his head and looked at Gabrielle.

"I said I could cure your hand." Gabrielle smiled and gave her mind wholly to drive the car.

She was a good driver. Plus, this car had high performance. So, she drove onto the asphalt road after a short while. However, because of the heavy rain, she had poor visibility and drove very slowly. It was getting late. They had no choice but to go to Stones River County for a night's rest.

In spite of being a county, Stones River County was a very important cultivated base of vegetables. So, it was bustling.

Gabrielle directly parked the car in front of the Stone River Hotel, which was the best hotel in the county. There was a giant billboard on its outside wall, which was an advertisement for a world-renowned cosmetic. The spokesperson was the new film and television star, Lora Johnson.

It rained heavily a moment ago, but now, it magically stopped. The dark sky also became bright.

Jacob went first to book the room.

Gabrielle lagged far behind. She just walked a few steps when a red sports car came from a nearby road.

Because of the heavy rain, there were a lot of rain puddles on the ground.

Unintentionally or intentionally, the driver drove through the rain puddles, which made the mud and water immediately fly in all directions.

Although Gabrielle instantly took a few steps back, she couldn't dodge. She was about to curse, but she saw the driver's face flash by. His features were distinct and angular. But, under his dashing eyebrows, there was a pair of slender amorous eyes with laughter, which looked three times more charming than a woman.

Bryant Scott, it was him!

Gabrielle's eyes reddened immediately.
