Chapter 218 Heartbreak
Neither of them spoke. The air seemed to be frozen. There was only the sound of breathing, and the aroma of coffee, along with the musky smell of the room. The mixture of scents made settled heavily on Gabrielle’s lungs.
“Gabrielle, you said it yourself. if he didn’t do it, you know what’s going to happen, don’t you?” Clutching her phone, Estelle sneered at her hostage. “There are two men inside, and four or five more waiting outside, that would be dreadful, for sure!”
Estelle‘s gaze was terrifying.
But Gabrielle had no choice but to stay calm. “Just call him. I mean what I said.”
Estelle dialed the number, but no one picked up. She tried again, but to no avail
“Did you guys break up?” Gabrielle couldn’t help asking Estelle’s eye twitched in annoyance.
“Ugh, shut up! We’re together, duh He’s just busy right now. Forget it; I won’t ask him. I know he won’t do anything to hurt me.
But you… I’ll see that you get a taste of humiliation today.”
“Estelle, let me go. Then we will have opportunity to talk about the business of the Johnson Group. If you do this, you’ll be destroying the Johnson family. Do you understand what I mean?” Gabrielle struggled to sit up. The ragged clothes could cover her a little bit. Although the two masked men next to her couldn’t see her, she still felt humiliated

“Don’t say anything.” Westley lifted her up and glared daggers at Estelle who was squatting on the ground,
“I already gave you a warning, Estelle. The Johnson family will bear the crushing weight of your sins. You better hide and live well, instead of biting people like a mad dog. Don’t blame me for what’s to come for you.” There was nothing but coldness in Westley’s sharp eyes.
“It‘s okay now, Gabrielle.” Westley gently stroked her hair and asked the bodyguard to drive back to Calf Moon Bay.
