Gabrielle's threat worked. At least, Holly didn't dare to play any tricks for the time being. Besides, she did catch a cold, so she wouldn't have any energy left to act like a brat.
Seeing that she had backed off, Gabrielle smiled calmly.
“I came up alone." Holly held her anger and replied firmly.
She only came here because she knew Westley had come. There wasn't any other reason for her to come to Novo
Resort alone. .
"I know. You came for Westley,” Gabrielle whispered in a low voice.
Holly felt a chill on her spine and trembled. She did come for Westley. Why else would she be here in the first place?
“What are you implying, Gabrielle?" Holly asked, trying to regain composure.
Even if what Gabrielle said was true, she wouldn't just admit it.
Since she knew that Gabrielle wasn't as naive as she looked, she had to be cautious.
If Gabrielle saw right through her, she'd lose it. Holly had always wanted to be in control of everything. However,
since meeting Gabrielle, she had felt as if things had slipped from her grasp. Holly had assumed that because
Gabrielle was only an adopted daughter of the Jones family, she was free to pick on her as she pleased.
But it seemed that she had underestimated Gabrielle.
She wasn't easy to deal with at all. Gabrielle turned out to be a very scheming woman. Holly had to play her cards
carefully.
Gabrielle had the potential to ruin her life and she didn't want that to happen. In addition, Gabrielle had Westley on
her side.
She knew that messing with Gabrielle could lead to irreversible consequences.
“I wasn't implying anything. I wanted to remind you to watch your step since the mountain road is rocky. You
wouldn't want to slip and fall. Be careful." Gabrielle calmly reminded her, as if she was genuinely caring about Holly.
But in Holly's eyes, this was an obvious threat. Gabrielle was being sarcastic.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Jones, but I'll be fine. I've been here several times with Westley and the others
before. know my way around here," Holly retorted.
Even though Gabrielle had Westley now, she had known Westley for years and they were very close.
