Westley, you bastard!”

He must have thought very highly of himself to believe that everyone in Antawood would pander to his every whim.

Westley cast a cold glance at Gabrielle, thinking to himself, ‘I can’t believe how childish she is.’

“Gabrielle.” The deep and low voice drew her attention as she tumed around to see Mindy walking over to her with another man.

Westley. I never thought we’d see each other here, especially as family.” lance was how in charge of running the Carter Group. As he was the one who overlooked most of the company’s projects, it was customary for him to keep contact with the power holders of other big companies.

As for Westley, the CEO of the Morris Group and the leader of the biggest business empire in Antawood, it was almost impossible to get an appointment with him let alone be in the same room.

Lance didn’t expect to run into the cold blood demon of the business world, especially as the husband of his cousin.

This change of pace was both surprising and interesting but Lance was an experienced businessman who knew how to quickly adapt to the social conditions around him. Besides, Mindy had already given him the lowdown on what was going on.

“Lance, don’t get ahead of yourself. We might not become a family just yet,” said Westley coldly. Then he tumed around and walked inside without saying another word.

Confused, Lance stood there wondering what he had meant by that.

“Cousin, please don’t take it to heart. Westley just can’t help being pompous all the time.” Gabrielle tried to comfort Lance immediately.

“I’m fine, but… Gabrielle, why did you may Westley? When did this happen? I didn’t even believe it when Mindy told me that you had gotten married to him.” The smile on Lance’s face disappeared as he looked at her with solemnity and seriousness.

Gabrielle lowered her face in shame, averting Lance’s inquisitive eyes.

“Gabrielle, did something happen? Did Westley force you to marry him?” That was the only possibility Lance could think of when he noticed her hesitation to speak up.

When he saw them standing together just now, they looked more like strangers than two people who were married to each other.

“No, it’s not like that. I married him willingly just three days ago.” Gabrielle finally looked Lance in the eyc.

No one knew what kind of a person she was better than him because he had known her Since she was just a child.

EVETY time she would lie, her eyes wauld start to flicker and she could never look him in the eye.

If she didn’t want to marry him, why did she have to throw her life away like that?

“Gabrielle, tell me the truth. Who forced you? Was it Aunt Wendy or Westley…”

“No, Cousin, Mom didn’t force me, let alone Westley! I agreed to marry him willingly. Why wouldn’t ? Westley’s a great guy. Every Woman in Antawood wants to be with him. How could I pass on such an opportunity? Don’t you agree with me, Mindy?” Even Gabrielle wanted to slap herself for what she had said just now.

Indeed, Mindy was one of the women who dreamt of marrying Westley, but Gabrielle was nothing like her.

“Gabrielle, I know who you are. You wouldn’t marry him for such a superficial reason…”

“Auntie. I just got back yesterday. I came here to give you the gifts I got for you. I’ve already asked the housekeeper to get them from my car. Lance hid his gloomy face and looked at Wendy gently.

“Gabrielle, you’d better not keep Westley waiting.” Wendy glanced at Gabrielle indifferently,

“I see. I’ll go inside now, mom.” Gabrielle hurried into the room.

Although Westley was sitting next to Tobias, the atmosphere was so depressing that Tobias didn‘t even dare to take a deep breath.

This young man, Westley, was as cold, cunning and unapproachable as an old fox who had been in the business circle for decades.

“Gabrielle, you are here! Come sit here with Westley. I have something important to deal with in the study.” As soon as Tobias saw Gabrielle, he jumped up from his seat and scampered to the study.

The moment Gabrielle walked into the room, she could sense the thickness in the air even though Westley was sitting on a sofa far away from her.

“Westley, if you really don’t want to be here, you may leave. No one is going to stop you.” Gabrielle plucked up the courage to speak her mind.
