Chapter 669 Don't Mess With This Woman
Gabrielle's face darkened. It was awkward that she got scolded.
"Auntie, Gabrielle and Westley are newlyweds. She's still not used to the Morris family ways. It also took me more than one year to get familiar with everything. Please have some patience with her.”
Bonnie stood, defending Gabrielle as she pulled Tammy close.
All the people present knew that Bonnie was the eldest daughter of the Campbell Family from Italy.
She came from a noble family.
So no one dared to question her. > .
Even Liana said nothing. Bonnie might have been from an upper-class family, but she wasn't too proud or arrogant. She was a really kind person.
But Gabrielle was different. She was an adopted daughter of the Jones family. Even in their household, she was a black sheep. The Morris family didn't favor her either.
The gap between Bonnie and Gabrielle in terms of social status was simply an ocean apart.
But they didn't think Westley loved Gabrielle. It seemed as though he didn't marry out of love. After all, they didn't even have a decent wedding.
Because of this, they thought Westley disliked his own wife. If he didn't care for her, then it wouldn't matter how poorly they treated Gabrielle.
Even so, if Westley hated Gabrielle, that wasn't any people's business. They couldn't just do what they wanted to his wife. . :
“What Bonnie said is true. Gabrielle is still adjusting." Liana nodded slightly.
Even if she didn't like Gabrielle, she couldn't treat her daughter-in-law poorly. After all, Westley doted on her. She would be made a laughing stock if she caused a scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I'd like to take this opportunity to formally introduce my wife, Gabrielle.”
Westley held Gabrielle's waist and gently pushed her in front of everyone.
Gabrielle wasn't ready, but she couldn't chicken out anymore.
Her anxiety was off the charts, but when she thought that Westley was backing her up, she felt better.
"Gabrielle is a kind-hearted woman. I love her very much, so I hope all of you can respect her. | will not tolerate any ill-intentions towards my wife. An offense against her is an offense against me, and | will not let that go so easily. I believe everyone understands what I'm saying, right?" Westley delivered his words calmly but with conviction. He didn't need to shout. Everyone could hear the warning he was sending.
He would not allow anyone to hurt his wife.
What a joke! These branch family members had no say in the company's affairs and couldn't mess with the CEO. They were still expecting him to give them a fat check every year.
They knew better than to provoke Westley. If they did, they would lose all their investments.
"But of course, Westley!”
"We are delighted to have Gabrielle join the Morris family."
"I was wrong. I'm sorry, Mrs. Morris!"
There were rounds of applause, flattering Gabrielle.
"Thank you. I'll do my best for the Morris family. Please forgive me if I did anything wrong." Gabrielle
bowed.
Having a protective husband felt so comforting.
If Westley hadn't stepped in, people would've kept judging her.
Thinking about it made Gabrielle shiver.
“It's Gabrielle's first time celebrating the festival with our family. Everyone, relax and be good to her,’
Miley added.
If Westley and Bonnie didn't speak up, Miley was ready to come to the rescue.
Fortunately, her eldest granddaughter-in-law was a thoughtful person. And Westley was also a good
husband. He was responsible and knew how to protect his wife.
She was amazed to see it.
If he left Gabrielle on her own, Miley would've definitely taught him a good lesson.
"Miley is right. Since it's my first time meeting Gabrielle, 1 especially prepared a cash gift for her. Here
you go!" One of Westley's aunts handed Gabrielle an envelope.
Soon, his other grandmas and aunts swarmed Gabrielle with their cash gifts. It would be embarrassing not to give her when all others did.
“Well...”
"Gabrielle, please take it. It's the thought that counts," Westley said, looking at her tenderly.
His tender expression and tender voice shocked his elders to silence.
Westley wasn't one to connect with people. He had always been cold and indifferent. Even worse than Wilson.
The elders were scared of him because of that.
But seeing him so fond of Gabrielle, they knew she was important to him.
He wasn't making those things up. Gabrielle held a special place in his heart. If anyone crossed her, they would answer to Westley.
Luckily for them, they didn't offend Gabrielle.
As long as they treated Gabrielle right, there would be no problem.
Gabrielle might've looked innocent and harmless, but they still had their guards up.
They needed to be careful around her.
Else, Westley wouldn't think twice about buying all their shares in the company.
