She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1207

"How... how is any of this my fault?"

"Because you didn't help me."

Elara's tone was dead certain, despite looking so broken and frail.

"You just stood by and watched. That's why Alistair felt emboldened to hit me harder every single time."

Being blamed out of nowhere left a sour taste in Gabriel's mouth.

What did this have to do with him?

It wasn't like he was the one throwing punches.

And as for saving her...

Elara wasn't his woman, nor was she his friend.

If anything, she was the enemy!

Why on earth was it his responsibility to come to her rescue?

He had the logic completely sorted in his head, yet he still couldn't stop the quiet gnawing of guilt.

"You're clearly just using me as a punching bag."

Gabriel planted his hands on his hips, thoroughly annoyed.

"I can't help you. If you don't want Alistair to beat you anymore, you need to have a serious talk with your parents and break off the engagement. That's the only way to stop him."

Hearing his brilliant advice, Elara let out a chilling, wretched laugh.

"Break the engagement... You want my parents to break the engagement with Alistair. And then what? The Bennett family wouldn't just be targeted by the Whitmores; we'd be hunted by Alistair as well. If that happens... we'd be utterly ruined."

That statement caught Gabriel off guard.

He tilted his head, his face a mask of confusion.

"Since when... did the Whitmore family target the Bennetts?"

Elara rolled her eyes so hard it hurt.

Gabriel stood there, waiting for her to unload her grievances, but she suddenly went dead silent.

The way Gabriel saw it, Elara was the one who struck the first blow against his family.

He still remembered the product launch for the new diabetes drug, where Melanie publicly played that damning audio recording of Elara.

Elara hadn't just tried to tear his brother and Melanie apart.
