Ditch My Ex (Gabrielle and Timothy) novel Chapter 51

Chapter51

His words were bossy and gentle, full of affection.

Gabrielle felt sweet inside.

“I’m fine, I just couldn’t stand the way they acted.”

“Thought having some lousy money meant you could just insult people.”

She wasn’t the Gabrielle who had to put up with everything anymore.

Whoever dared to mess with her, she’d make them feel even worse.

Zachary chuckled softly and pulled her into his arms.

“That’s right, I’m Zachary’s woman. Who dared to insult me?”

“That Eliana, and her clueless dad, I was gonna make them see the consequences.”

Zachary already gave the order, and a few important partnerships with Eliana’s dad’s company would be stopped right away.

The bank’s loans would also be pulled back right away.

In less than three days, they would be facing bankruptcy.

That was the price of messing with his woman.

Gabrielle didn’t stop.

She wasn’t a saint. When facing enemies who picked a fight, she didn’t go easy on them.

And she knew Zachary did this more to show her authority.

Let everyone know, she was someone you couldn’t mess with.

“By the way, you just said you also bought the clothes they liked and gave them to them?”

Zachary asked curiously, he was more interested in what Gabrielle did

next.

Gabrielle gave a sly smile.

“Killing someone hurts their heart, you know.”

“Directly slapping someone in the face only let out a moment’s anger.”

“Smash what they wanted in their faces, then tell them they could lose everything at any time.”

“This kind of fear and unwillingness was what really made them remember the lesson.”

She paused and added.

“Of course, mainly those clothes really didn’t look good, I didn’t want them.”

Zachary saw the clever sparkle in her eyes and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

“My Gabrielle was really getting more and more like a little fox.”

He liked her like this.

Smart, sly, with a little bit of hidden darkness.

Not the same dodder vine who just silently took the hurt anymore.

Instead, she could stand side by side with him, or even handle things on her own–a rose, beautiful but with thorns.

“Learned it from you.” Gabrielle mumbled, leaning against him.

Those who stayed near cinnabar turned red, those who stayed near ink turned black.

After being with Zachary for a long time, she also picked up some of his ways of doing things.

For example, either don’t make a move, or if you do, make it deadly with no loose ends.

The two went back to the villa, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

That little episode at the mall just now actually felt like a bit of a break.

Let their relationship get even closer when they faced outside provocation together.

Zachary handled some emails, and Gabrielle was looking into the snacks for afternoon tea.

The sunlight came in through the floor–to–ceiling windows, and everything was peaceful.

However, under the calm/surface, undercurrents were surging.

Zachary’s phone rang, it was a call from the subordinate in charge of investigating Cristofer

Zachary walked to the side and answered the phone, and his face gradually turned serious.

Gabrielle couldn’t hear what was on the phone, but she saw Zachary’s expression.

My heart jumped too.

Did Cristofer’s side really find out something?

Zachary hung up the phone and walked back to the living room.

His brows furrowed a little, obviously things were a bit tricky.

“What’s wrong?” Gabrielle asked worriedly.

Zachary sat down next to her and held her hand.

“Cristofer really wasn’t simple.”

“He came to Mossvale this time, on the surface to check out investment projects.”

“But actually, his main goal was probably you.”

Gabrielle’s heart tightened, “What did he find out?”

“There wasn’t any solid evidence yet.”

Zachary said in a deep voice.

“Our people found out, the Meyers family had a really strong intel network in Balamora.”

“They seemed to have been secretly investigating ever since you ‘got into trouble‘.”

“And they seemed to have found some… suspicious points.”

For example, the way they handled the car accident scene was way too “clean.”

“Also, after you ‘died‘, where some of the money went.”

Zachary’s face didn’t look so good.

He thought he handled it perfectly, but didn’t expect the Meyers family to catch on.

The Meyers family really lived up to their name.

Gabrielle’s face got a bit paler too.

The money flow–did Zachary leave a trace when he helped her move her assets back then?

“Doubt didn’t mean evidence.”

Zachary comforted her right away.

“Cristofer was just suspicious at that time, so he tested you at the dinner.”

“As long as we stuck to not admitting it, there wasn’t much he could do about us for now.”

“But we had to be more careful.”

Zachary’s eyes got sharp.
