Chapter 261 Something Might Have Happened

After lunch, Michelle left and Gabrielle was alone in the living room. She was sifting through a book on jewelry design when she received a call from Lance.

When Gabrielle had returned hom.Dom Lover’s Embankment last night, her phone had remained switched off because it had no battery. I had kept it on charge, but didn’t turut on until just then.

ve

When the phone chally switched on at noon, there are several missed calls and unanswered WeChat messages.

Gabrielle didn’t plan on replying to any of them after she read them through. Lance’s call was the first one to come in when she switched her phone on.

Gabrielle put the book down and answered her phone. “Hi, Lance.”

“Gabrielle, when did you leave yesterday?

Didn’t I ask you to wait for me? Are you okay?” Lance asked. He sounded very womed

“I was not feeling too comfortable so I came back early.” Gabrielle lied, making up an excuse

Lance realized she was being vague, so he didn’t probe any further There was a shift in Gabrielle’s demeanor after Westley had arrived to the party yesterday. Lance should have nown how much Westley impacted Gabrielle.

However, he felt truly sorry for Gabrielle because Westley had shown up with another woman at the ty.

All through the caight and the next morning, there are wide reports on the Internet abau Westley and Michelle’s relationship. Obviously, Westley was okay with such news being reported – no media in Antawood would dare to spread rumors or tear him down if he wasn’t okay with it

“Gabrielle, have you read the news on the Internet? The news about Westley and Michelle is being broadcasted over all the websites,” Lance questioned

Gabnelle anxiously.

Gabrielle, however, replied calmly. “Yes, I know. I’ve seen the reports.”

Michelle had showed her all the news on her phone at lunch time.

Michelle was the hottest topic and most popular name in the news. Westley had been right. Celebrities must have any sort of publicity surrounding them to stay relevant, even if it was bad press.

Sure enough, Michelle’s Game was the one everyone was talking about. And even though they weren’t saying nice things, she did noeem to pay too much attention to it

She evenersuaded Gabrielle to not overthink the situation. If the attacks got serious and out-of-hand, Westley would arrange for a lawyer for her.

Hence, the main victim was not worried about any of this – So neither should Gabrielle

Besides, after knowing the true relationship between Michelle and Westley, she had nothing to worry about.

But Lance didn’t know all this information, which was why he was so nervous and anxious for Gabrielle.

“You saw all of it?” Lance was in disbelief based on what Gabrielle was saying. His throat choked up and it took him a few moments to recover. “Well, if you’ve seen it, then you know they’re talking about Michelle and Westley being in an affair. Don’t you care that Westley has a mistress?”

From what he saw last night, he was very sure that Gabrielle indeed cared about Westley

In the face of such big news, it didn’t make sense that she was indifferent about it. She must be very sad inside but probably didn’t wtt to show it.

“Lance, I know you care about me, but my marriage with Westley is not real. Whatever he does is his freedom.” Besides, the news on the Internet was false. Westley and Michelle had orchestrated their familial relationship to look as though they were sponsor and mistress

This was hard to explain to Lance over the phone, and in such a short period of

to

drop it

Dn. So she decided altcether.

“Gabrielle!” Lance let out an irresistible shout.

Gabrielle pulled her phone il wily, the roar deafening her ear.

“Lance, it’s none of your business about mine and Westley’s relationshno. Anyway, do you know where Bryce Gabrielle quickly diverted him.

Lance fell silent for a while before Speaking: “Gabrielle, I have ut been able to find the two of them um not sure if they are missing or hung. Don’t worry. My people are trying their best to find them. We’ll do cerything we can.” u Hearing this Gabrielle felt a little uneasy,

She didn’t think Bryce was hiding: in fact, she had an uncanny feeling that something must have happened to him.

“Lance, do you think something bad may have happened to Bryce?” Gabrielle asked him uneasily.

Lance was not certain.

After all, Lance knew that other people

were looking for Bryce, as well.

There were too many possibilities, SO Lance was unsure whether Bryce was just hiding or if some harum had come his

“Gabrielle, listen to me. Nothing bad will happen. I’ll find them as soon as possible and bring them back. And then, I’ll make sure they won’t have any chance of escaping, okay?” Lance consoled he Gabrielle had no choice but ty believe him. After all, the only person who could help her find Bryce weis Lance. If she couldn’t believe him, he had no other help left.

“I know, Lancahank you. I believe you can do it.” Gabrielle pressed Lance – it was her kt Chance

“Gabrielle, I want to ask… If I can’t find Bryce, will you divorce Westley?” Lance knew he shouldn’t ask this Question, but he asked it anyway.

Gabrielle was stunned. Now that she was thinking about it, she realized she had never considered this. Back then, Westley had arrogantly given Gabrielle only one way out, which was by making

has a scapegoat through their marriage. The only end in sight he had ollered her was a divorce when Nellie came back to him

But what if Nellie couldn’t come back?

Would they really get divorced? “Lance, I can’t answer this question now. Just please help me find them fir-land we can discuss this later.” Sabhelle avoided the topic and attempted to bring an end to it there.

0 Lance picked this up, straightaway. He knew she didn’t want to mention this again.

Since she diet plan on divorcing Westley until Bryce was found, the first step was Ring him, which he would do as soon as possible.

“Okay. Gabrielle, I won’t ask you any more questions about this. Don’t worry. Have a good rest.” Lance regained his composure quickly and spoke to her gently.

“Okay, thank you. Bye.” Gabrielle hung the phone up, the uneasy feeling still lingering about her.

After the phone call. Gabrielle lay by herself on the sofa. She was in a daze, not reading or using her phone for
