Chapter 279 Unlimited Black Card

“All my life, I have never had anyone 1 could trust.

And somehow. I have come to realize that there is in fact nobody whom one can trust in all of one’s life.

The only person I can trust is myself.”

Westley frowned as he thought about those words. They pricked him like

What really had happened to Gabrielle while she grew up in the Jones family? What really had made her distrustful of other people?

What had made her live as helplessly as an orphan, although she was an adopted daughter of the Jones family?

“Gabrielle, you…”

“Well, this is not to make you feel sorry for me; sympathy is one thing I don’t need from anyone. This is only to make

VŪu know the truth about me. IM THE driven to do so much 5

T

H EY Racer. I do this for myself ! FIT portantly. I want to blend into society and have a wholesome life,” she Explained her voice mixed with delicate Passion.

She had always wanted this kind of life. a kind of life that was reliant on no one else but hersell

Cibriëlle didn’t wanit Westley to hear her final words. All she wanted him to know was that she could support herself, that she wasn’t one of those women wil couldn’t survive without having to depend on 3 ΠΑΠ,

She was independent and strong

Westley nodded slowly. watching the woman in front of him. He was quite so impressed by her. But he had a subtle fear that she would find it rather hard to fall in love, having built such thick walls around her heart.

“Don’t you think you’re only wearing yourself out, Gabrielle?” he asked finally. short of any other thing to say.

He had always assumed she learned so

many things because she loved to. But now, he was realizing that she had only sore through so much strains just to

Westley woned that her health might someday break dawn if she continued this way

For goodness sale. she went through mpare stress than him who was the CEO of the Moms Group!

“Not at all. I’m not wearing myself out. Instead, I feel very fulfilled. At least, I don’t have to steal to make money. I Work honestly for my money, and I owe nobody. Moreover, i don’t have to think too much when I’m busy. That’s one part of it I love so much.” There was a deep earnestness in Gabrielle’s voice as she spoke

She so much believed that people ought to get themselves busy, especially for the sake of their minds. People who were busy would have no time and enersy to think about anything. However, people who were free would not be able to control their minds from roaming wildly.

“Think too much?” Westley asked, squinting at her.

Not wanting to talk about herself anymore. Gabrielle ignored the question Instead, she fumed her gaze on the black card. “So you see how why I can’t accept this card from you.

She had still yet to collect the black card from Hui.

She didn’t want it at all. That was exactly why she had told him all those things about herself,

But Westley was not one whose offers or gilis could be spurned.

“I want you to understand this. Gabrielle. No one rejects the things I give. I give you this card because you jure my wife. It is yours, so accept it!” Westley thundered, patting the card on the table.

He had always been domineering and unreasonable.

“Westley, we are not real…”

“We are married for now. You can retum it to me after we are divorced,” he said bluntly

Gabrielle stared at him for a while, then at the card. Finally, she picked it up.

She feared this man would become mid and smash the table if she didn’t. Well, she would make sure to return it after divorce

Perhaps, only Westley gave people cards in such irogant way and with no apton

“T’I accept the card for now. But rest assured that you’ll get it back when we divorce in the future. Gabrielle said reassuringly. She didn’t want him to see her as a gold digger.

“See, Gabrielle, you have that card so that you can use it to buy whatever you want. You’re my wife, so you shouldn’t live a miserable life,” Westley reminded her in a cold voice. 4

He was sure that, although she had accepted the card, she wouldn’t want to pay for things with it.

A smile crossed Gabrielle’s lips when she heard him say ‘miserable life! She remembered the first time she had been to the Moris Mansion after they were both married. Westley had hated her clothes, saying they were shabby. But she could see nothing shabby about

them; they were just clean and molest

“Can I buy clothes

Westley thought it was high time she got some stylish clothes. He understood that she was still a university student, but that didn’t matter at all.

And he of course knew that then often were attracted to innocent and modest girls. Westley couldn’t even stand the thought of that.

“Oh, can I buy jewelry, too?”

“Of course,” he replied. He was glad she had ideas of buying jewelry.

Women ought to enjoy shopping for clothes, bags and shoes. They ought to enjoy seeking after luxuries. That was why they were women after all.

Westley was really marveled it Gabrielle’s modesty. She preferred working at part-time jobs and getting different skills instead of living a fancy life. He had never seen such a woman before.

“Oh, can I buy a car?”

“I have told you that you can buy whatever you want!” He clenched his fists and glared at her, exasperated by her questions

“Oh, how about a house?

“Surt. But why do you want to get a house? Don’t you want to live here anymore?”

Westley asked quite puzzled. He wondered what she was up to.

A car and a house?

Did she plan on getting everything and leaving here?

She wish

“No, that’s not it. I just wanted to know what the card could afford. This is the first time I’ll be seeing such a card, but I never expected it to be this powerful.” Gabrielle said, shrugging. She looked 50 innocent

Westley folded his arms around his chest, both annoyed and amused. Was she only trying to tease him? Or was she really IFnorant about the value of the card?

“Gabrielle, unlimited quota in the whole world. You know that you CAN U The card to buy everything you want on this earth. Do you understand,” he explained is though he were teaching an idio

“Oh, I now see. That means I can buy a plane of a ship if I want. That’ll be wonderful!” Gabrielle simpered,

Westley gaped at her. A plane and a ship?

Wasn’t this Gabrielle just an ambitious woman after all?

“Of course, you can buy any of them with this card. The only thing is that I have to personally sign in order that is worth more than ten million dollars. Just let me know whenever you have thought clearly about it,” Westley replied, raising his eyebrows.

Gabrielle couldn’t believe that this card was so powerful. The card felt hot on her palm that had become sweaty now. Of course, she didn’t want to buy a plane on a ship. She didn’t want to run away.

“I’ll take the card, Westley, I’m going OLE now. Stay home and get some rest,” Gabrielle said seriously now.

At this point, she noticed that Westley looked distant and cold, but she knew he was a very hard and cruel person with a cold sense of humor.

“It’s not right for me to eat alone, Gabrielle. After all, you’re my wife and Dught to take care of me at home. Hy the way. why do you have to 10 out dri weekends?- Westley asked, his deep. arrogant voice full of ridicule.

He was of course fine and didn’t need as much care as he sounded to need He could eat with his right hand since only the left arm was injured i

“I have to run along to attend to something important, but I’ll be back early tonight. What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.” Gabrielle said, stanng at him embarrassedly.
