Ditch My Ex (Gabrielle and Timothy) novel Chapter 30

Chapter30

The guests around all stopped talking and looked over.

The atmosphere suddenly got a bit tense.

Stella’s face went pale and then green. Zachary stood up for her so bluntly, it made her feel embarrassed.

But she still wasn’t willing to give up.

“Zachary, I was just curious. After all, there weren’t many people you cared about this much.”

She forced a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

“This Ms. Gabrias looked pretty unfamiliar, so she probably wasn’t from our circle, right?”

“If it was from some shady source, don’t let it ruin your reputation.”

That was a really mean thing to say, hinting that Gabrielle didn’t come from a good family and wasn’t good enough for Zachary.

Gabrielle’s face fell too.

She could not care what others thought of her, but she couldn’t stand people insulting Zachary

Just as she was about to speak up, Zachary moved first.

He picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter’s tray next to him and threw it right in Stella’s face.

The moves were quick and decisive, no hesitation.

“Ah!” Stella screamed and wiped the wine off her face awkwardly.

The expensive dress and delicate makeup were ruined in an instant.

Everyone was shocked, no one expected Zachary to go that far.

Stella was the apple of the Griffith family’s eye.

“You… you dared to splash me.”

Stella was shaking with anger, pointed at Zachary, her eyes full of disbelief and hatred.

“What was wrong with splashing you?”

Zachary’s eyes were as cold as ice, and he stepped closer and closer to Stella.

“I warned you to watch your

words.”

Every time he said a word, Stella just couldn’t help but take a step back.

The strong aura coming from Zachary made her feel scared.

“Is it the Griffith family.”

“Go back and tell your father, before tomorrow, clean up those shady businesses you guys had in Swynhedge.”

“Otherwise, I didn’t mind giving him a hand.”

Stella’s face went pale in an instant.

Swynhedge’s business was the Griffith family’s gray area, and very few people knew about it.

How did Zachary know so well?

And from the way he talked, it seemed like he had solid evidence.

Once it was exposed, the whole Griffith family would be doomed.

“Not… not really… let me explain…”

Stella totally panicked and didn’t have any of that swagger from before.

“Get lost.” Zachary just spat out one word, his eyes full of disgust.

“Before I have someone throw you out.”

Stella looked at Zachary’s cold eyes and knew he was serious.

She didn’t dare say another word, covered her face, and ran out of the party in a panic under all those strange looks.

The garden fell into a strange silence.

Everyone was shocked by Zachary’s thunderous methods.

To protect this woman named Irene, he actually went so far as to offend the Griffith family directly.

This kind of love and determination was just outrageous.

All the looks at Gabrielle changed.

No one dared to look down on her or question her anymore.

She was Zachary’s untouchable bottom line.

Zachary acted like he just did something no big deal.

He turned around, took Gabrielle’s hand again, and the coldness in his eyes melted in an instant, turning into tenderness.

“It’s fine now.”

He soothed in a low voice, like he wasn’t the harsh man from before.

Gabrielle looked at him, feeling all kinds of things.

She knew Zachary did it to protect her, but this way was too intense.

“Zachary, was it too…”

She was a bit worried. Would there be trouble if she offended the Griffith family?

“Won’t.”

Zachary interrupted her, sounding sure.

“To deal with this kind of clueless idiot, you just had to smack them once.”

“As for trouble? The Griffith family didn’t have the guts to mess with me yet.”

His confidence didn’t come out of nowhere, but was built on real strength.

He looked around at the guests, his voice not–loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

“About what happened today, I hope you all have a clear idea.”

“Irene was my bottom line, Zachary’s. Whoever touched her, died.”

His words were a warning to everyone, and also a declaration.

The guests all nodded and said yes, not daring to have any strange thoughts anymore.

Roger walked over and patted Zachary on the shoulder.

“Alright, we know you care about your little brother and sister. Don’t do it again, okay? You scared us.”

He smiled and tried to smooth things over, hoping to lighten the mood.

Zachary curled his lips and didn’t say anything else.

The party kept going, but the vibe was clearly not as relaxed as before.

Everyone was really careful and didn’t dare talk to Gabrielle casually anymore.
