Chapter 61 I Could Only Endure

Gabrielle shifted her eyes at the studio‘s door. Initially, she was planning to visit everyone in the studio today. Unfortunately, she had to see Estelle. As such, Gabrielle had to reschedule her visit to the studio to a later date. Moreover, she was also afraid that the Wounds on her face might scare other people.

It didn‘t take long for Austin to arrive with the car. As soon as Gabrielle pot inside the vehicle, he gave her a bottle of water. “You can take off your mask since you‘re already inside the car, Gabrielle. Otherwise, you’ll feel hot. I can already see the sweat on your forehead. It‘ll be painful if it contaminates your wound.”

With a relieved sigh, she removed her mask and her jacket

Meanwhile, Austin couldn‘t help but gawk when he saw the wounds on her artis ind face

*This is much more relaxing for me. Thank you, Austin.” After removing the bottle cap. she took a sip of water. Since she had so much wrapped around her earlier, she felt quite relieved at the moment.

“How did you get those wounds, Gabrielle? Are you in pain? Have you disinfected and

dressed it appropriately?” Feeling pity for her, Austin couldn‘t help but get teary–eyed.

When he noticed the gauze on her forehead. he knew that the accident must have badly hurt her. However, he had no idea how terrible her wounds were until he saw the rest of her face and arms.

“Okay, I‘ll be honest with you. I got these wounds while I was fighting women. However, it doesn‘t hurt anymore since Remy tended to me. Aside from some scratches on my skin, I have no major injuries. Unfortunately, I can‘t say the same for Sloane. She‘s in a hospital right now because she was struck on the back of her head.” Gabrielle said with a straight face. She wanted to be honest so that Austin wouldn‘t Worry too much.

“Where are we heading now? Are you planning to meet Estelle, the woman who ordered that attack on you?” he asked, wanting to get to the point,

“That‘s correct. Unfortunately, we still have no evidence against her” Frustrated, Gabrielle could only look down.

Estelle was the main culprit. She only used those three pitiful women as scapegoats Moreover, people didn‘t dare to offend the Johnson as they were famous in Antawood.

Although Austin wasn‘t completely familiar with Estelle, he had heard of her name before. The elite class of Antawood was small enough for him to be aware of her existence.

Estelle had a bad reputation. She was known as the arrogant daughter of the Johnson. Because of her family background, she grew up self–centered and had offended a lot of people. However, she was also generous. As such, most people adored her and treated her as the princess of the upper–class circle.

Hence, Austin realized that she wasn‘t a good person

There was no way he could forgive Estelle for bullying Gabrielle

“Gabrielle, since Estelle wants to bully you, I can help you retaliate. You‘re looking for proof that Estelle ordered the attack on you and Sloane, correct?” He briefly looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

Anger built up in his heart when he saw the wounds on Gabrielle‘s face. At that moment, he wanted to beat Estelle to a pulp.

How could Estelle do such a vile thing like ordering people to hurt Gabrielle? Austin was afraid of what else might happen to Gabrielle.

“Is that so? Can you help me find proof to

indict Estelle? The Johnson is a powerful clan in Antawood. There‘s no way I can fight against them,” she admitted with a sense of hatred.

The cruelty of her situation was that powerful people could sentence less influential people to death without any punishment. The Jones couldn‘t compete with the Johnson.

Additionally. Gabrielle was merely an adopted daughter of the Jones. Since she wasn‘t a blood relative, she didn‘t want to involve them in that matter. Otherwise, Wendy and Tobias would see her as a

disgraceful daughter.

Meanwhile, Sloane came from an ordinary family with not much influence. Although. she could rely on Benny, he had i complicated relationship with Estelle. As slich, he couldn‘t help Sloane and Gabrielle retaliate against Estelle

“Gabrielle, Westley is your husband. His influence in Antawood is more than enough to deal with both Estelle and the Johnson. Maybe you should ask him to help you, Austin suggested with a hint of curiosity as he was also interested in Gabrielle‘s marriage with Westley

If there was nothing wrong with their marriage. Westley wouldn‘t let something

terrible like that happen to Gabrielle. Moreover, he would do something about the culprit.

When Westley‘s name was mentioned. Gabrielle immediately stiffened. “Austin, you‘re Westley‘s younger cousin, correct? You already know his attitude. It‘s not easy to convince him to do anything I ask. Additionally. I only married him as a sign of atonement. Love and care don‘t exist in my relationship with him. Westley couldn‘t care less about my troubles.”

Austin didn‘t know what to say. Since they were cousins, he knew Westley very well. However, because their characters are almost opposite of tach other‘s, they weren‘t very close. It wasn‘t

surprising for them to not like one another

Moreover, Westley married Gabrielle, the girl Auistin desired. As such, the tension between the two grew worse..

Even since they were young Westley had continually bested Austin in everything they did. Now, Westley not only took away the woman Austin cared about but had also been treating her poorly. Hence, anger and frustration crept into Austin‘s heart as he thought about the marriage between the two.

“What‘s happening with your marriage with Westley, Gabrielle? How can you say that it‘s C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

merely a form of atonement? Even though You never knew each other before, you suddenly married. Why did you mitry even though he was intended for Nellie?” Austin wanted to get to the bottom of it. The mere thought of the situation was making him miserable.

“My brother ran away with Nellie. As such, i became Westley‘s bride as compensation The initial plan was to have a fake marriage. Unfortunately. Miley forced us to go to the courthouse for a marriage certificate. Despite our fake relationship. We are still legally mari. and wile. However, we will divorce each other once Nellie returns. Then, I‘ll cut off all my ties with Westley.” A painful expression painted her face as she explained everything

She took the blame for Bryce‘s ridiculous decision. Maybe it wils also her punishment from the heavens for liking the wrong person.

“Why are you the one being punished for Bryce and Nellie‘s decision to elope? Moreover, Westley is more than powerful enough to track them down and bring them back. No place in heaven and earth can hide then from his influence. There‘s no need for you to marry him.” At that moment, Austiu realized some aspects of Westley‘s personality that he still didn‘t know

As such, Austin couldn‘t understand how Westley let Hryce and Nellie off the hook so

Maybe he didn‘t want to offend the Collins.

Even though it had already been five years, he still hadn‘t moved on from Helena‘s death..

However, involving Gabrielle was stepping over the line even for him.

“I have no idea what‘s happening in Westley‘s head. Anyway, he told me that I CILD, TÄITY hini and wait for Bryce iind Nellie to return. Otherwise, he‘ll track down Bryce and kill himn. There‘s no way I‘ll let my brother be murdered. Therefore, I Gill only endure Westley‘s torture,” Gabrielle admitted in a miserable voice.
