Chapter 287 Her Back Is Bleeding
Staying happy for long wasn’t written for Gabrielle, probably. Because, the moment she turned around to leave with Mail, they both saw the most adverse omen coming down the stairs. They stopped in their tracks, stunned at the person who met their eyes.
Emily also recognized them, clearly not expecting to see them in the shopping mall that day. She could still remember their fight in the restaurant.
To say the least, after recognizing her, Mia wasn’t the slightest happy
‘Fuck!” Mia almost snarled. Do I really have to meet Emily, turning around the corners?
Mia eased her expressions a bit, but the cold and killing frown never left her face. Emily was Molly’s cousin, and they both were, without a doubt, bitchy and cruel.
“What brings you here, Emily?”
Molly asked in the softest tone she could USC.
As if waiting to encounter them. Emily Wis already standing in front of them, E11grly glaring at Gabrielle. “Well, I came here to buy something, Molly. I just Silw you, so i thought, why not sily hello. How do you know her?”
With a nod of her head, Emily gestured towards Gabrielle, inquiring Molly about her.
Emily‘s resentment wasn’t going away easily. She was expelled from university. dropping all the blame on Gabrielle. When she had to go to another university in another city, she was forced to separate from Jax, as they weren’t in the same city anymore.
Her grudge against Gabrielle hadn’t been satisfied yet. And today was her chance to pay Gabrielle back for all that she’d done.
“L.. am not familiar with them. Miss Robinson is your cousin-in-law’s…”
“Emily. I’m your cousin-in-law’s ex girlfriend and also your cousin’s senior.”
Mia staad forward. “Well, I heard that you were expelled from the Alonth University” Mia raised her brows. “We met today after you were expelled 90… Congratulations!” Mia clipped her hands right in front of Enily’s face
If she could, Emily would have torn the world apart on the humiliation Mia was making her feel. She was pissed to her limits, just waiting for the final blow to blast her anger out. To put it together, Mia was visibly testing Emily’s limits. After all, who would want to get applauded for being expelled?
“I haven’t gotten even with you, Gabrielle. What kind of filthy trick did you play behind my back to get us suspended?” Emily’s eyes were blazing with anger
For sure, Gabrielle knew the reason for Emily’s suspension. It was Westley who did it. He was able to fire the dean with a snap of his fingers. So, suspending some students was a piece of cake for him.
Westley was a shareholder now in the university, making him the prince charming for the university. He was like an idol to fans, getting surrounded by
them wherever he went. This was Westley’s position, the son his demands were fulfilled within a blink.
Gabrielle tucked her hair behind her ear, pretending to be innocent. “What do you mean by that? Don’t you think it’s you who should know why you were expelled?’ Gabrielle’s tone had an un varying calerness in it as she facilely masked Westley’s deeds. Firstly. she wouldn’t accept that Westley did it. Secondly, Gabrielle couldn’t let others know about her bond with Westley.
“These people don’t deserve to know.’
“What are you being ignorant about, huh? How can you possibly think that I can’t find any evidence? When…”
A smile appeared on Gabrielle’s lips as she cut Emily’s sentence. “Talk to me after you find any evidence. Till then, don’t even dare to wrong me. I believe Alorith University’s decision must be fair and just. They are not so stupid to expel you without a reason.” Finally, Gabrielle became serious as she continued. “Instead of arguing with me, you’d better go to the university’s office and find the answers you are seeking.”
“Oh, to increase your knowledge, Gabrielle. I did go there. And they said that someone asked them to expel us. We weren’t told who did it, but I am pretty sure you had a hand behind all of this shit.” Emily gritted her teeth while clenching her fists.
Gabrielle was quite bored by Emily’s relentless accusations. “I will wait for you to bring the evidence then, Emily. Without it, stop talking nonsense and stop making a scene. Plus, I am just an adopted daughter of the Jones family. How can you possibly expect me to make you get suspended from the university? I hope you have a brain big enough to thirik about it.” It was rare for Gabrielle to argue with others like this, but still, she wanted to keep Emily in her place.
Emily’s attitude was making her burn in anger.
“Shut up whore! No one knows your intentions. And…” A dry chuckle left Emily’s lips. “Being a powerless adopted daughter of the Jones family, who knows how many nasty tricks did you learn? Maybe…
“Stop talking shit, Emily! I dare you to
start TUMDES About Gabrielle again. Otherwise you’ll be shredded by me. I will make sure the last person you’d want to offend in the Antawood… is me.” Mia had been silent through their conversation, but the more she heard Emily’s remorseless words, the more she burned in rage. If looks could kill, Emily would have been dead by now.
“She freaking has the most contemptible mniouth.’ Clenching her fists, Mia Was ready to strike her knuckles along Emily’s high cheekbone.
But Gabrielle held her hand back.
“Mia, we’re in a public place.” Gabrielle threw a sharp glare at Emily before looking back at Mia, “After all, we can’t argue with a mad dog, neither can we bite it back. So, let her be. If you still want to buy a watch, then okay. Otherwise, let’s head back.” Gabrielle’s mood was ruined. She felt emotionally tired, wanting to go back home.
“You called me a mad dog. huh?! Let me show you what it means then.” Emily. throwing all the remaining morals that she had at bry, swung her handbag and threw it towards Mia and Gabrielle, whose backs were facing her.
As soon as the unexpected blow hit Gabrielle’s back, she fell forward with the impact. The pain was too much to bear as the blood oozed out and stained her beige knitwear
