Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 61

Gabrielle shifted her eyes at the studio's door. Initially, she was planning to visit everyone in the studio today. Unfortunately, she had to see Estelle. As such, Gabrielle had to reschedule her visit to the studio to a later date. Moreover, she was also afraid that the wounds on her face might scare other people.

It didn't take long for Austin to arrive with the car. As soon as Gabrielle got inside the vehicle, he gave her a bottle of water. "You can take off your mask since you're already inside the car, Gabrielle. Otherwise, you'll feel hot. I can already see the sweat on your forehead. It'll be painful if it contaminates your wound."

With a relieved sigh, she removed her mask and her jacket.

Meanwhile, Austin couldn't help but gawk when he saw the wounds on her arms and face.

"This is much more relaxing for me. Thank you, Austin." After removing the bottle cap, she took a sip of water. Since she had so much wrapped around her earlier, she felt quite relieved at the moment.

"How did you get those wounds, Gabrielle? Are you in pain? Have you disinfected and dressed it appropriately?" Feeling pity for her, Austin couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

When he noticed the gauze on her forehead, he knew that the accident must have badly hurt her. However, he had no idea how terrible her wounds were until he saw the rest of her face and arms.

"Okay, I'll be honest with you. I got these wounds while I was fighting women. However, it doesn't hurt anymore since Remy tended to me. Aside from some scratches on my skin, I have no major injuries. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Sloane. She's in a hospital right now because she was struck on the back of her head," Gabrielle said with a straight face. She wanted to be honest so that Austin wouldn't worry too much.

"Where are we heading now? Are you planning to meet Estelle, the woman who ordered that attack on you?" he asked, wanting to get to the point.

"That's correct. Unfortunately, we still have no evidence against her." Frustrated, Gabrielle could only look down.

Estelle was the main culprit. She only used those three pitiful women as scapegoats. Moreover, people didn't dare to offend the Johnson as they were famous in Antawood.

Although Austin wasn't completely familiar with Estelle, he had heard of her name before. The elite class of Antawood was small enough for him to be aware of her existence.

Estelle had a bad reputation. She was known as the arrogant daughter of the Johnson. Because of her family background, she grew up self-centered and had offended a lot of people. However, she was also generous. As such, most people adored her and treated her as the princess of the upper-class circle.

Hence, Austin realized that she wasn't a good person.

There was no way he could forgive Estelle for bullying Gabrielle.

"Gabrielle, since Estelle wants to bully you, I can help you retaliate. You're looking for proof that Estelle ordered the attack on you and Sloane, correct?" He briefly looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

Anger built up in his heart when he saw the wounds on Gabrielle's face. At that moment, he wanted to beat Estelle to a pulp.

How could Estelle do such a vile thing like ordering people to hurt Gabrielle? Austin was afraid of what else might happen to Gabrielle.

"Is that so? Can you help me find proof to indict Estelle? The Johnson is a powerful clan in Antawood. There's no way I can fight against them," she admitted with a sense of hatred.

The cruelty of her situation was that powerful people could sentence less influential people to death without any punishment. The Jones couldn't compete with the Johnson.
