Westley's face softened as he let go of Gabrielle's hand. "Gabrielle, don't always piss me off like this," he uttered in a threatening tone.
The latter pursed her lips and thought she didn't do anything. It was Westley who felt good about himself and constantly bullied her.
"I'll go." After saying that, Gabrielle stormed out.
Meanwhile, Remy gazed at Westley hesitantly, which made the latter slightly upset. "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't you stare at me like this, or I will think that you have fallen in love with me."
"In love with you? Huh! Are you out of your mind?" Remy joked. He was obviously amused by Westley's words. "Remy, when did you learn to tell jokes? I'm not very skilled with that."
"I know. A married man is like that." Remy flashed him a coy smile.
"I suggest you have a brain check. You're acting very bizarrely." Westley didn't want to talk to Remy anymore, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, he suddenly stopped when he heard him ask, "Westley, does Gabrielle mean something to you?" This time, no trace of any antic or teasing could be extracted from Remy's voice. Instead, he sounded pretty serious.
"Yes. After all, she came to me for atonement." As those words escaped Westley's lips, Remy was relieved that Gabrielle was not here to hear it; otherwise, it would definitely hurt her.
'Is it necessary to say that about Gabrielle?' Remy thought, wanting to ignore this arrogant man.
"Westley, women yield to gentle approach. But they reject force as they prefer to be coaxed." Remy wondered if he was overthinking it all. However, in reality, Westley really treated Gabrielle differently from Nellie.
In the past, whenever Nellie got hurt, Westley would ask her to go to the hospital by herself or ask Alvin to send her there. He would never personally drive her to the hospital.
"Remy, you are so good at coaxing women. It seems that your grandpa will have a granddaughter-in-law soon. Should I share this good news with him?" Westley asked and looked at Remy with a snicker.
In an instant, the latter turned pale as paper, obviously alarmed. He didn't want to be in dispute with such a sophisticated man as Westley. So, instead of bickering with him, Remy just let it slide.
Given their age, the elders of their family had tried every means to urge them to get married. And Remy was the main target of the ploy in the Davis.
But he would always make an excuse that he was too busy working and traveling to get married. And if Westley went to the Davis, he would definitely have a hard time.
It was true that Remy and Westley were frenemies!
"Westley, take care of yourself. I hope you don't regret hurting others. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Anyway, I'm leaving now." After saying those words, Remy finally left without hesitation.
When Westley went to look for Gabrielle outside the operating room, he saw her quarreling with a man from a distance. In an instant, he recognized the latter from his clothes. It was Benny.
"Benny, listen to me carefully. Sloane doesn't need you here. You were the reason why she was severely injured tonight. And now, she is lying in the operating room. No one knows whether she is still alive! How dare you come to see her?" Gabrielle blamed the man in an evidently frustrated tone. She was furious, and she didn't dare to hide it. If more, every word that escaped her lips showed her deep-seethed hatred for Benny.
Meanwhile, Alvin had already learned the situation in the hotel. The three women who bea
t Sloane were all Estelle's best friends. Estelle had probably orchestrated the entire thing because of her hatred and jealousy of Sloane.
For her, Sloane was the only reason she couldn't be with Benny. Estelle had made many threats and caused so many troubles for Sloane, none of which had endangered the latter's life. That was why Benny ignored it before.
