She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1208

Preston would never rest until the Bennett family was completely eradicated.

Therefore...

That was why the Bennetts had collapsed so catastrophically.

"If Preston hadn't choked off every single one of our lifelines, why would we be forced to rely on Alistair? Why would I be beaten half to death? Are you still going to look me in the eye and say none of this is your fault, Gabriel?"

Grilled by Elara's hoarse accusations, Gabriel's mind spun into chaos.

Wait, the logic here was entirely twisted, wasn't it?

He opened his mouth to argue, but ultimately swallowed his words.

She was already battered into a pulp. What was the point of arguing semantics?

Winning a debate wouldn't change the fact that Elara harbored a lethal grudge against his family, and against his brother in particular.

"Fine, fine! My fault. It's all my fault, alright?"

Gabriel threw his hands up in defeat.

He really shouldn't have come to visit her tonight.

The Bennetts and the Whitmores were no longer family friends; they were blood enemies.

He figured it was best if he steered clear of Elara's affairs from now on.

Reaching that silent conclusion, Gabriel's gaze drifted back to her one last time.

She truly looked devastatingly tragic.

He had always prided himself on being a gentleman. Seeing a woman beaten was his kryptonite.

Unable to bear the sight, he covered his eyes with one hand and spoke blindly to the bruised figure on the bed.

"Just... focus on healing. As for Alistair... try to talk to your parents again. After all, you're their only daughter..."

With that, Gabriel turned toward the door.

"Gabriel!"

Elara called out to him.

He paused for just a fraction of a second, but then stepped out into the hallway without looking back.

The sterile hospital room was once again dead silent, leaving Elara utterly alone.

Her eyes were red with a venomous mix of fury and humiliation.

Why... why was the universe punishing her like this?
