Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 321

'Corpse!

Not a living person!'

Wendy was shocked upon hearing it.

Bryce was missing, and her people couldn't find him and Nellie. She had no choice but to ask Westley for help.

But if Westley really killed Bryce, how could Wendy bear it?

How could she accept that her dear son was now a corpse?

"Gabrielle... Are you scaring me, Gabrielle?" Wendy couldn't believe what she had heard, so she asked Gabrielle worriedly.

'How could Westley be so ruthless and cruel? How could he turn a living person into a corpse?

Did he think he was the king of hell or heaven? How could he just kill people?'

She couldn't believe that Westley was so cruel.

"Mom, I'm not scaring you. I believe you've already heard rumors about what kind of person Westley is. I don't have to say anything anymore. In fact, you know his reputation better than me." Gabrielle was feeling helpless now.

Everyone in Antawood knew what kind of person Westley was. Wendy belonged to the rich people's circle, so how could she not know Westley's personality?

"Gabrielle, you are now his wife. By this time, you most probably have a good relationship already. You can ask him for help. As long as he doesn't hurt your brother, I am willing to do anything." Wendy was holding Gabrielle's hand tightly. She was hopeful that Gabrielle would help her talk to Westley to just find Bryce without hurting him.

"Mom, I'm his wife, but we don't love each other. It's useless for me to beg him to do something," Gabrielle answered, wanting her mom to give up the idea.

'Was she too naive and confident to expect that Westley could find Bryce back without hurting him? How would it be possible?'

Gabrielle was not feeling well. She was feeling too many emotions, everything seemed to be complicated.

She had no objection to Wendy's support for Bryce. But Gabrielle still felt uncomfortable realizing that Wendy had been willing to sacrifice her adopted daughter so unconditionally for Bryce.

"Gabrielle, why are you saying that? Are you just going to watch and wait for Bryce to die? He is your brother. Although he is not your biological sibling, he has been nice to you since you were a child. Our family has treated you well and raised you for twenty years. Without us, how could you live a comfortable life and get a good education?" As usual, Wendy was crediting everything that Gabrielle had enjoyed and achieved to the Jones family.

Everything that Gabrielle had was given by the Jones family. She couldn't be ungrateful.

"Mom, I know the Jones family has raised me for twenty years, and I will never forget it. But you want me to sacrifice for Bryce again and again. How do you really feel about me?" Gabrielle didn't really want to say something like that. But Wendy was kind of making her feel worthless that she couldn't help but speak out her heart.

Wendy wasn't expecting that Gabrielle would bring back the past. She was surprised, and it took her a while to react.

"Gabrielle, what do you mean? Do you want us to talk about the past now, or what? Do you think that I have been treating you unfairly and not as a daughter? If I didn't see you as my daughter, then why did

I take you home from the orphanage? I bought you nice clothes. Everything you want, I give it to you. Now you're asking me like that? Do you still have your morals with you?" Wendy was totally pissed off at this point.

Gabrielle was such a timid girl, Wendy didn't expect her to be so devious.

She was accusing her of unfair treatment.

Wendy thought that she had raised Gabrielle well. Although she didn't really treat her as her own daughter, she had provided her with all kinds of food and clothes, much better than what the daughters of ordinary families were receiving.

Also because of her Gabrielle's life was much better than the girls who grew up in the orphanage.

'What an ungrateful woman! Why is she so unwilling to ask for help from Westley? Why did she ask me if I even see her as my daughter? How could Gabrielle ask me such a question?' Wendy thought furiously.

"Mom, let's get down to the real issue. I will never forget what you and the Jones family did to make my life better, I will always be grateful. But you want me to beg Westley for Bryce, it's another thing."

Gabrielle looked at Wendy helplessly, her eyes were pleading.

"Gabrielle, how can this be another thing? Bryce is your brother. What's wrong with asking you to help your brother now?" Wendy realized that Gabrielle wasn't really willing to help.

It only meant that she raised an ungrateful person!

'If only I had known, I would have chosen and raised a more obedient girl. It's Bryce's fault for choosing this girl immediately after seeing her.'

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to help, but I just can't." Westley had already made it clear that he would help to look for Bryce.

But it was hard to say whether Bryce would come back alive or not.

Westley was a very cunning man. He could do whatever he wanted, so Gabrielle didn't want to take the risk.

"Why can't you help? I think you are simply not willing to help at all. Our family has raised you for twenty years, and here you are, being ungrateful." Wendy wasn't controlling her words anymore.

'Ungrateful?'

Gabrielle couldn't believe that Wendy would accuse her of such a thing.

Once again, Wendy's words shattered her heart into pieces.

"Mom, I have told you many times before that Westley is not an easy person to negotiate with. If he gave you a chance, you should seize it. If you had only let Bryce come back here and admit his mistakes in front of Westley, all these wouldn't happen." Gabrielle was trying so hard to suppress her anger.

She really wanted to throw a fit now and tell Wendy that her adopted daughter was not a tool of the Jones family in protecting Bryce.

But when she remembered that Wendy hadn't really mistreated her for twenty years, Gabrielle hid her anger and spoke calmly.

Even if Wendy had called her an ungrateful person, Gabrielle had to endure it.

"I didn't expect that things would be so complicated. Westley just wanted a wife when he planned on marrying Nellie, and since you had already married him, he would forget it all. He would be fine after a while." This was what Wendy thought. She hadn't expected that everything would turn out complicated.
