Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 64

Once Austin and Gabrielle asked the women involved, everything would be out in the open. Estelle believed that it would be irredeemable if the truth came from someone else. At least, if she were to confess on her own accord, Austin might be able to understand.

Because if it were proven, Estelle wouldn't be the only one facing the backlash, but the Johnson would also suffer the consequences. Sloane was lucky to get away this time.

"Estelle still has something to tell us, isn't that right?" Austin's cold eyes could freeze Estelle where she sat.

Their heated conversation caught the attention of the other customers. People stared at them with curious eyes.

They couldn't tell it was Gabrielle behind the mask, but they could clearly recognize the other two.

"Estelle, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't waste any more of my time. Besides, I don't want others to start talking about us. I'd hate to hear any rumors." Austin tilted his head, shooting a piercing gaze at the onlookers, making them scurry to their seats in embarrassment.

"Austin, I admit it. I asked those girls to teach Sloane a lesson. Could you blame me? She seduced the man I fell in love with, but I really didn't expect that they'd hurt her. Please forgive me. I'll do anything you say!" Estelle begged, eyes watery.

"Gabrielle," Austin called, tossing his head. "What do you think? It's up to you."

Gabrielle had been quiet for a while, but she broke her silence. "Do you realize what you did to Sloane? She's unconscious, lying in a hospital bed! All because of your selfish jealousy." She sneered. "We'll decide what to do with you when Sloane wakes up. Don't you even dare think of running away. If you do, I'll make sure you'll never be able to come back to this city again. Got that?"

Feeling threatened, Estelle nodded, agreeing without hesitation. "I won't leave! I'll do what you want!"

"Let's go, Austin." Gabrielle gave Estelle a cold parting glare and walked out of the room.

She fiercely raised her head and strode confidently. But as soon as they got out, Gabrielle felt her knees going weak.

"Austin, thank you so much." She held onto him for support. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to face Estelle like that." She was able to unmask the arrogance off the wicked girl's face. Seeing Estelle tremble made her feel powerful. Gabrielle was immensely pleased with herself, and she couldn't help but smile.

Bringing Austin was a good idea. He could easily influence people just by talking to them.

"Are you satisfied now?" Austin helped her stand. He knew she was wearing a smile of victory.

That was enough for him.

He came here to help Gabrielle settle the score with Estelle, but more than that, he wanted to make sure she was feeling alright.

"I am. I couldn't have done without you. Ahh, the perks of having big shots as friends." Gabrielle giggled, teasing him with a praise.

"Gabrielle." Austin's eyes softened, looking at her affectionately.

"Won't you let me stay with you?" "Austin, you..."

"I mean, whenever you need to keep up appearances, you can always call me for help. Then, you can take me to dinner as a treat." Austin chuckled, trying to change the subject. Gabrielle didn't pursue the topic anymore.

"Of course, I'll invite you to dinner. You've been such a huge help, after all. Fighting fire with fire. You were able to easily make Estelle admit to her

faults because she knew you were above her."

Even behind the mask, Austin could tell Gabrielle was grinning.

Gabrielle was beautiful, especially when she smiled. Her lips would curl, and her eyes would sparkle like diamonds.

"From now on, let me help you. You can use me as much as you want," Austin offered generously.
