Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 73

A disturbing idea surfaced in Gabrielle's mind. Maybe Westley was still with Holly. If Gabrielle called Westley, she might interrupt their pleasure.

Then Westley would hate Gabrielle even more.

The very thought made Gabrielle feel as if her throat was blocked by shredded newspaper.

"Well, never mind." Mia didn't press Gabrielle any further. To be honest, it would be embarrassing for Gabrielle to let her husband see her like this.

"Gabrielle, I think I should call my brother. Even though he'll tell me off, it's better than staying here all night." Gritting her teeth, Mia took out her phone and dialed Micheal's number.

"Micheal, I'm at the police station with Gabrielle. Come and bail us out." Mia told Micheal the address of the police station and then hung up the phone.

"Gabrielle, my brother is going to skin me alive later. You've got to help me. Your words will definitely work on him." Mia looked at Gabrielle seriously.

Gabrielle could tell that Mia was really scared of her brother.

"Oh, don't worry. When Micheal gets here, I'll protect you. I won't let him hurt you." Gabrielle patted Mia's shoulder gently to comfort her.

About ten minutes later, a tall man appeared in front of Gabrielle and Mia. As he stood there, glaring at them, his face darkened and his eyes became like daggers. He looked very angry and intimidating. No wonder that Mia was afraid of Micheal. Even Gabrielle was a little scared now!

"Gabrielle, this is my brother," Mia whispered. Mia was such a coward that she had already hidden behind Gabrielle.

"Mia, quit hiding!" Micheal cast a cold glance at Mia over Gabrielle's shoulder.

How could Mia dare to face her brother like this? Mia knew that, if she did, her brother would rip shreds off her, so she stayed where she was and held Gabrielle's arm tightly.

"Gabrielle, please explain to my brother. He'll listen to you," Mia pleaded with Gabrielle.

"Mr. Robinson, well..."

"Miss Jones, I know what you want to say, but it's not the first time that Mia has made trouble. I got to teach her a lesson." Micheal looked at Gabrielle seriously.

Even if it was Gabrielle who was protecting Mia, Micheal was still determined to show Mia the error of her ways. Recently, Mia had been becoming more and more unreasonable.

"Mr. Robinson, it's my fault Mia fought with the others this time. Those two women have a grudge against me. Plus, they beat me first, so Mia was just helping me get even. If you really want to punish Mia, you should punish me first." Gabrielle raised her hand and straightened her back. She didn't just want to protect Mia; she wanted to truly reason with Micheal.

Gabrielle knew now that it was Micheal's anger driving him to act like this toward Mia. But what was the point of teaching her a lesson like this, so indiscriminately? It was completely unreasonable. How could Micheal do that?

"Miss Jones, are you trying to protect Mia?" It was true that Micheal didn't know the details of what had actually happened. He'd just received a call from Mia, saying that they'd been locked up at the police station, so Micheal had rushed over.

"I'm not defending Mia or what she did. I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the police officer if I'm lying." Gabrielle stared at Micheal, not backing down.

During the bail procedure, Micheal asked the police officer assisting him what had happened. It was just as Gabrielle had described. It was indeed true that the two other women had beat Gabrielle first, so Micheal had jumped to conclusions and misunderstood Mia's actions.

"Micheal, as I said, I didn't make any trouble. It was the two women who were out of line. They bullied Gabrielle first, so I ..."

"Mia, even if that's true, what you did was still wrong. Go wait in the car. I'll take you to the hospital later." Af

ter a look toward Mia that precluded any further argument, Micheal turned to Gabrielle.

"Miss Jones, I'll take you to the hospital. I can see you've sustained new injuries on top of old ones. You need to get that taken care of properly." When Micheal spoke to Gabrielle, his tone shifted completely.
