Gabrielle grew more restless as she put more thoughts into it. She couldn't help but think about the worst case scenario.
"Gabrielle, it's only between the Campbell Family and Bain now. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it. Just focus on taking care of yourself and living a happy life with Westley." Bonnie gave her a pat on the back to comfort her. She knew exactly what Gabrielle was worried about.
"But Bonnie… Everything happened because of me. How could you say that it has nothing to do with me?" Gabrielle anxiously asked.
It all started because of her. She knew it in her heart. That was why she couldn't convince herself that she had nothing to do with it. Gabrielle was not the kind of person to run away from her responsibilities.
"I know what's going on in that pretty little mind of yours. However, it's the Campbell Family's business now. Don't worry about it. We'll handle everything," Bonnie reassured her. She did not want Gabrielle to feel like a burden.
"Bain and the Campbell Family have been sworn enemies for years now. Sooner or later, a fight between us will break out even if this didn't happen. Besides, we should be thanking you. We can take this opportunity to settle the matters we've had before." What Bonnie said was true.
There had always been a grudge between Bain and the Campbell Family. Despite that, the two parties never offended each other so bad things weren't unraveled at all.
Bain's resentment towards the Campbell Family never disappeared. He had orchestrated countless ploys to sabotage their business. Definitely, the Campbell Family would not let him go that easily.
What happened gave them a reasonable excuse.
"Bonnie… If this thing explodes, will there be death?" Gabrielle asked. This was what she was worried about.
It was the reason why Westley sneaked into the forest by himself. He didn't want to hurt innocent people.
"Don't worry about it. We don't mean to hurt people. However, sometimes, it's inevitable. But we do our best not to." Bonnie knew what was running in Gabrielle's mind. After all, Gabrielle wasn't from the Campbell Family. She had never witnessed such horror. Gabrielle wouldn't understand.
"I see. I'll leave you to it then." Gabrielle was a sensible person. Now that Bonnie had clarified that it was the Campbell Family's business, Gabrielle had decided not to get into the middle of it anymore. On top of that, with Bonnie and Wilson taking control, everything would be fine.
Gabrielle couldn't help but wonder if the Campbell Family's intervention was planned from the very beginning.
'Maybe it was an excuse,' Gabrielle thought.
"I'm done picking flowers. Have you finished?" Bonnie asked with a smile as she gazed at Gabrielle.
"I'm done." Gabrielle picked out roses of each color. It was quite simple.
"Alright, let's go. I'll have someone carry them for us." Bonnie held her hand as they walked out.
The bodyguards outside the door were tasked to carry the flowers.
Gabrielle was a little stunned at the sight if two tall and strong bodyguards donning a black outfit. Everybody in the Campbell Family had been trained well.
"Gabrielle, does Westley often send you flowers?" Bonnie asked.
"He's not very affectio
nate." Gabrielle smiled as she walked towards Westley's car.
Hastily, Westley got out of the car to open the door for her. "Gabrielle, what flowers did you get?"
"Roses," Gabrielle replied.
