Chapter 212 A Changed Man
Gabrielle left Estelle after the coffe incident and went to the first floor using the elevator. At that moment, she thought about the situation of the Johnson Group that Estelle told her about: She felt that it was only Westley, who could hinder the projects of the Johnson Group
Although Gabrielle had told Estelle that Benny could also do so, she felt that he wouldn’t just stand in the way for the sake of Sloane. Gabrielle decided to stop assuming and called Westley.
When she called him at first, he didn’t answer the phone but after a while, he picked up the call. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you have a good meal with your dear cousin?” Westley said with a sneer.
His malicious voice made her feel very uncomfortable
“I met Estelle some minutes ago. Westley. ” Gabrielle said calmly.
“Really? Do you need to share the encounter you had with me?” Westley already knew why Gabrielle called him to tell him about Estelle.
When Sloane and Gabrielle were severely beaten by Estelle’s friends, he had deliberately asked someone to mess with one or two projects of the Johnson Group to teach Estelle a bitter lesson. Besides, Sloane was still in a coma. All he was trying to do was to keep both Estelle and the Johnson family occupied with other matters
However, after he was done with his arrangements, he found out that someone else was also planning the same thing. He asked Alvin to find out who it was and they discovered that it was Benny
‘What does Benny mean by doing all this now? Is he feeling guilty because of what happened to Sloane? He is probably going this so that he could make up for what Estelle and her friends did to his sister, “Westley thought,
But as far as Westley was concerned, it was Benny’s business and whatever he did had nothing to do with Westley and

for this reason, he wouldn’t let Gabrielle know. But right now, he didn’t expect that she would meet Estelle.
“I just want you to be sincere with me. Are you the one who got the Johnson family into trouble?” Gabrielle asked straightforwardly.
“Well, honestly speaking, I made some arrangements. But whatever issues they’re facing is not all because of what I did. What I did was just because of you, but someone else was also behind the scenes doing something for Sloane. Do you understand?” Westley said in a relaxed tone.
Gabrielle was Smart enough to understand what he said, ‘This means I nailed it didn’t I? Benny also has a part to play in this,’ she thought with a smile.
“This means that I should thank you for all you have done for me. I’m very grateful.” Although Gabrielle expressed her gratitude to him, it was not sincere
at all.
“You know that I don’t want verbal gratitude, Gabrielle. What I want is your action,” Westley said to her. He was
indirectly making a request.
“My action? Do you want me to invite you to dinner?” she asked. This was the only thing that Gabrielle could think of right now. I
By the way, it was as if there was no other way for them to properly thank each other.
“Come on, you should know that there are so many people who want to invite me to dinner. You are good at cooking, aren’t you? You can cook for me tonight, ” Westley demanded.
Right now, Gabrielle was in a dilemma. “Are you sure you want me to cook for you, Westley?”
“Why not? Or are you trying to poison me?” he asked bluntly.
Gabrielle took a deep breath when she heard his question. “I won’t be so blind and stupid to do that. Besides, I don’t want to go to jail yet. I’m just asking because I’m afraid that you won’t be able to eat the food I cook.”
Westley had been living an extravagant life ever since he was a child and there
were always delicacies on his table. The dishes she cooked were just to fill the stomach and she felt that Westley would refuse whatever she cooked.
“Well, I wouldn’t know until you’ve cooked it. Just cook for me tonight. I’ll be expecting. Bye.”
it was obvious that he was in a much better mood than before.
“Wait a minute. Before you hang up. I want to ask you for a favor. Can you please help me find out who the other person is? I just want to know.”
Right now, she was as curious as a cat. She wanted to know if her guess was right. She wanted to know if it was Benny, who had also messed up with the projects of the Johnson family.
“If Benny is the one who did it, what. point is he trying to prove? Sloane is still in a coma and it would be very useless even if he destroyed the Johnson family.’ Gabrielle thought to herself.
“Why do you think I’ll want to do that? Why should I investigate that just for your curiosity? Is that how you think of me, Gabrielle?”
Westley said as he raised his voice and pretended to be angry.
“Okay. What if I make you another meal?” she asked tentatively.
“Humph… Well, I can tell you who the other person is if you make me dinner for a week,” he requested.
‘Cook dinner for him thought wide-eyed.
for a week?” she

“Mr. Morris, what’s the matter?” Alvin asked as soon as he walked into the office. He saw a faint smile on Westley’s face and knew that his boss was happy. “Maybe something good happened to him, ‘he thought with an imperceptible shake of the head
“Cancel all the social engagements for tonight.” I
Westley said bluntly without batting an
eyelid
“Ah, but Mr. Monis, you just came back. I have already booked an appointment with…”
“Are you the boss or I’m the boss? Oh. you’re trying to say that my words don’t matter anymore, right? Just pretend that I didn’t come back today.” Westley said as he gave Alvin a sharp look
This made him scared and he quickly agreed to what Westley said. “You are the boss. Can I ask what you want to do tonight? So that I can make another arrangement.”
“Don’t worry about it. I can deal with it on my own. By the way, don’t make any
plans in the evenings of next week. All the meetings should be scheduled during the daytime. If any social engagements cannot be postponed, you can deal with thern on my behalf,” he said calmly.
‘My boss is about to lose his temper. What else can I say in refutation?’ Alvin wondered.
But how would he not attend any social engagements for a full week? Alvin knew that this was not Westley’s way of doing things. Under normal circumstances, he always had a full schedule of work and was either working overtime or busy socializing at night.
“How come he has changed all of a
sudden?
Is he now addicted to the regimen instead of being a workaholic?’ Alvin pondered deeply. 3
“Do you understand what I just said?” Westley asked when he saw that Alvin was looking at him in disbelief as if he was a monster. This made Westley a little unhappy
“I understand. I’ll arrange everything right away.” Alvin muttered and decided
11:21
not to waste more time about it. He left Westley’s office quickly.
