Chapter 112 She Cut Her Hand
Gabrielle was changing her clothes when she received a call from Lance. She rushed her pace before grabbing her phone and answered in a hurry.
“Lance, what’s wrong?” she asked.
“Gabrielle, is Westley at home? Did he do anything to you?” Lance asked, his tone was urgent and full of concern.
Gabrielle smiled slightly hearing his tone. She felt both sorrowful and thankful that there was someone worrying about her. “Lance, Westley hasn’t come back home yet, but he is not as terrible as you think. You can be assured that he won’t do anything to me.”
In fact, these words were solely for Lance not to worry about her. After all, she was the only person who knew Westley well and how terrible he could be.
“Really? He won’t do anything to you?” Lance asked, a hint of doubt was evident in his voice. He found it hard to believe Gabrielle’s words since judging from Westley’s words on the phone, the man was really angry and Lance knew that he wouldn’t let Gabrielle get away easily.
After all, he brutally abused the two bodyguards. He quickly snatched the electric baton from one of them and severely knocked out both of them with
-
it.
As for their failure, the bodyguards might have
underestimated Lance thinking a rich person like him wouldn’t have any skills compared to the sturdy ones like them. However, they were wrong as they got defeated. They must have gotten the lesson by now that the more gentle and harmless one looked, the more skillful he could be.
Lance cleverly used this psychological fact to defeat them and that was how he managed to take the electric baton from the bodyguard so effortlessly.
“Westley won’t do anything to me. After all, I’m only a woman. No matter how terrible he is, he wouldn’t hurt a woman.” Gabrielle tried to explain,
comforting herself at the same time.
However, although Westley didn’t beat a woman directly, he had thousands of ways to torture a woman. He used the harshest words that could stab one’s heart repeatedly and he could also torment her in bed with many methods until she couldn’t endure anymore.
At the thought of this, Gabrielle’s legs and feet instantly became weak. She thought that Westley really deserved his mighty figure. He was a domineering man in his clothes, but a beast out of his clothes. The man was no less than a monster if he decided to give someone a hard time.
” Then, I’m relieved.” Lance immediately sighed with relief, before continuing, “Gabrielle, if he really dares to bully you, just tell me. I’ll help you teach him a lesson properly.” Lance was being serious; his voice carried a hint of chilling murderous tone as if
Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was tired of everything, She didn’t want to drag innocent people into her problems anymore,
especially Lance, who wanted to protect her at all costs, because she was aware that anyone who offended Westley would have a bad ending. She was sincerely afraid that Lance would get hurt because of her. “Lance, listen to me. It would be the best if you don’t interfere in my life anymore.” 1
“Gabrielle, 1…”
“Lance, I know that you are good to me, but it’s a matter between me and Westley. If you get involved too much, it won’t help me but you will make him angrier instead. It’s already quite troublesome with the Jones family. I don’t want to get the Carter family involved in this as well, okay?” Gabrielle begged softly.
Lance’s heart softened all of a sudden. He had never been able to refuse any of Gabrielle’s requests. He was also aware of himself that she was his absolute weakness.
Alright, I promise you that I won’t meddle in the affairs between you two. But Gabrielle, if you take the initiative to tell me, I must meddle in it to help you. It doesn’t matter if Carter family gets involved, ” Lance said in a stern voice, his tone determined.
She knew that it was the responsibility she couldn’t take if Carter family got involved in her affairs. Despite Lance being the successor of Carter family. Wendy would never let Carter family and Lance be implicated by Gabrielle in any way. She absolutely couldn’t afford to offend Carter family in her current state where she had a handful of problems already.
“I know, Lance. Don’t mention the matter of beating bodyguards today, and don’t provoke Westley,” Gabrielle couldn’t help reminding him. She knew
that it was the time to be cautious about everything
Today. when Lance took the initiative to provoke Westley on the phone, it really scared Gabrielle.
