Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 211 The Dispute Lance drove his car to the shopping mall in silence. As soon as they arrived at the mall, Gabrielle got out of the car in a hurry and waved Lance goodbye.
âThank you for driving me here, Lance. Bye. Drive safe!
Gabrielle smiled as she waved her hand and was about to leave.
âWait for me, Iâll wait with you. After all, it would be impolite of me not to greet my aunt. Iâll leave once I see her,â Lance said as he tried to get off the car.
He just wanted to spend more time with her and he was just looking for an excuse to do so.
âCome on, Lance. You know that you donât have to. Besides, you canât park the car here for a long time. You will get a parking ticket later. You should be focused on finding out where my brother and Nellie are as soon as possible. Thatâs the most important thing right now. Gabrielle reminded him seriously.
contingent Lance. It doesnât matter whether I get divorced or not, I just want to continue designing jewelry. Thatâs all I want to focus on, Gabrielle answered his question seriously.
Galwithatâs an At that moment, Lance knew what was going on in her mind. Her biggest dream was to become a well-known jewelry designer. It seemed that the Carter Group could branch out into this field. Since he already knew that Gabrielle had such a dream, he would do his best to help her achieve what she wanted.
âWell, Iâll take my leave now. Have a good time with your mother. Iâll inform you as soon as I get any more infomation concerning Bryce and Nellie. âWithout hesitating any longer. Lance started the car and left.
As she saw his car leave, Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief. She turned and went into the cafe on the top floor of the shopping mall and called Wendy.
âMom, Iâm at the Bio Mall. Didnât you ask me to go shopping with you today to buy a birthday gift for Grandpa? Well, if youâre available this afternoon, you can come right away. Iâll be waiting for you here.â Gabrielle said to her mom on the phone. As she sat at a table by the window, she felt better when she saw the pounding traffic and the pulsating crowds downstairs.
âOkay. Iâll be on my way to the mall now. Just wait for a few minutes.â Wendy couldnât contain her joy. It wasnât just because Gabrielle was accompanying her to buy a birthday gift, but because Westley was going to be there on that day.
She believed that as long as Gabrielleâs husband was around for Kyloâs birthday party, the marriage between him and Gabrielle would be made public.
And whether they liked it or not, once their marriage became public, everyone would know that the Morris family and the Jones family were now relatives because of their marriage. For this reason, no one in Antawood would dare to be rude to the Jones family.
After she hung up the phone, Gabrielle sat there quietly, waiting for her mother. Just then, she met an unexpected guest.
âFinally, I get to meet you, Gabrielleâ With a ferocious look on her face, Estelle stood in front of Gabrielle with one hand on her waist.
As soon as Gabrielle saw who it was, she cast a cold glance at her. âMs. Johnson, I donât think thereâs anything between us that makes you so happy to see me.â
âHappy to see you? You must be mistaken, Gabrielle. Donât flatter yourself too much. Well, thatâs by the way. Let me ask you something Several projects of the Johnson Group were originally finalized, but as I speak to you now, they are stuck Could this be as a result of something you are doing behind the scenes?â Estelle asked.
Knowing that several projects of the Johnson Group were hampered, the first thought that came to Gabrielleâs mind was that Westley was behind all this. By the way, it was Estelleâs friends who had beaten her and Sloane. They were severely injured that they were taken to the hospital, and to make matters worse, Sloane was still not awake yet. As far as Gabrielle knew, it was only Westley that could erect obstacles so easily to hinder these projects But she would never let this woman called Estelle know about it.
âMs. Johnson, do you think Iâm the one or do you think that the Jones family can block your projects? Why donât you have a rethink about this? Itâs possible that the Johnson family has already offended a lot of people and someone else did this on purpose to punish you.â Gabrielle said with a sneer on her face.
âThe Johnson family doesnât have so many enemies, Gabrielle. It was you and Westley, who set me up the last time. Are you...â
Gabrielleâs face darkened as she heard this and allowed the cold glance on her face to fall in Estelle. âWell, maybe it was because Benny felt guilty about what you did and he decided to do something for Sloane and so he took action against the Johnson Group. After all, he is capable of doing that, isnât he?â
As soon as Estelle heard Bennyâs name, her face turned pale instantly. âHow can that even be possible? Benny would never do such a thing to me. Besides, how would he deal with the Johnson Group for the sake of Sloane? He loves me...â
Thereâs one thing you need to be clear about. Estelle. Sloane is Bennyâs sister who has lived with him for more than a decade now. They have tics of kinship. But what about you and him? You both are just sex partners!â Gabrielle said coldly to her.
When Estelle heard the word âsex partnersâ, her face became as white as a sheet.
But Benny and I love each other. How could this woman say such harsh words to me?â she wondered.
âYou are such a shameless woman, Gabrielle. How could you say such a thing to me? You know very well that Benny and I both love each other.â At this point, Estelle was doing her best to deny what Gabrielle just said. How could she say that the two of them were just sex partners?
They werenât sex mates at all and this was because Benny had never touched her ever since they had been together. 4 He never took the initiative to contact her first. Estelle was the one who kept making efforts to keep in touch with him.
âReally? Do you both love each other? This is very ironic. Benny hasnât visited you ever since the accident happened to Sloane, has he? If you say he cares about you, how come he hasnât come to see you all this while?â What Gabrielle was saying was just a pure guess. 4 As far as she knew, she was unable to feel how they loved each other ever since she had seen them together. Gabrielle felt like they were just pretending to be together, just like she and Westley. Perhaps the only difference was that Estelle loved Benny so much.
âYouâre not making any sense, Gabrielle! Benny...â
âJust so you know, Benny tried to see Sloane on several occasions, but he was kicked out. He doesnât deserve to see her. After all, you were the one who hurt her. If I find out that he conspired with you, he would also be held responsible for all of this,â
Gabrielle said indifferently.
As soon as Estelle heard this, a flush went over her white face and she stared at Gabrielle with so much resentment.
11:20 *You donât have to be so mean, Gabrielle. What conspiracy are you talking about? My friends are still in jail.â Estelle was very angry right now.
âYou should have been in...â
Before Gabrielle could finish what she wanted to say, Estelle picked up the coffee cup and was about to throw the content on Gabrielleâs face but Gabrielle swiftly moved aside and blocked the coffee with her hand. As a result of this, the coffee poured all over Estelle.
The light yellow dress that she wore got Stained instantly and it was as if several brown flowers blossomed on her dress which was very obvious for all to see.
âGabrielle!â Estelle gnashed her teeth in anger as she stared at Gabrielle. It looked as if she wanted to snuff life out of her.
âThis cup of coffee is on me, Ms. Johnson. If you want to have coffee next time, just let me know. Itâs such a waste to spill it on your dress like this.â Immediately Gabrielle said this, she took her bag and left.
As far as she was concerned, the most important thing was to look for Bryce and Westleyâs runaway bride and bring them back from wherever they were hiding in Thailand, âI know. I will send more people to look for them and once they are found. I will make sure that they are forcefully brought back home. After that, I will send Nellie back to Westley and make sure that you and Westley get divorced as quickly as possible. Just think about what you can do after the divorce.â Although Lance had good intentions, he was indirectly giving her a difficult problem.
She was still clueless as to what she was doing to do immediately after the divorce.
What Lance was talking about was something that wasnât going to happen anytime soon and for this reason, she didnât want to think too much about it. The two who had eloped hadnât been found and she and Westley werenât divorced yet. It was still too far to think about the plans after the divorce.
âI havenât thought about it that much,
