Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 402

Lolita had always been smart enough to tell what Vivian's purpose was. Obviously, the woman wanted to create a rift between Lolita and Gabrielle.

'I'm not stupid enough to believe something as dumb as that!' she thought to herself.

Lolita tilted her head to one side while glancing at Gabrielle. "What's new, Gabrielle? Did Vivian tell you something interesting?"

"It's not a big deal, actually. It's not even worth mentioning it." Gabrielle refused to answer it, and she'd rather not listen to anything that came out of Vivian's mouth, either. Nothing good would come out of it. Even if she didn't go, Lolita would probably have to. 'Who knows what Vivian is up to?' she thought to herself.

'Whatever. She's probably up to no good.'

"All I'm saying, Gabrielle, is that it's a hundred percent great suggestion. Are you sure you don't want to share it with Lolita?" Vivian raised her eyebrows and smirked, like a bonafide villainess.

Gabrielle had found out about her news, so she brought it up. "Lolita, Vivian is offering us a chance to learn from our seniors. Would you like to come?"

Her words stunned Lolita for a moment, causing her to blink repeatedly. "A chance to learn from our seniors, huh? Gabrielle, how about you? Would you like to go?"

Lolita was well aware of Gabrielle's personality. The latter obviously didn't want to go there. For all they knew, Vivian just might be planning to play them for a fool.

Thus, Lolita decided not to agree.

"Thanks, but I think we're fine as it is. Besides, it's getting late, and we're planning to get dinner somewhere," she said with a smile.

"Is that so? You know, this might be the only chance someone like you could have. You'd best think it through. Or perhaps you just don't have the nerve to come with me?" It seemed that Vivian figured out that gently convincing them wouldn't work, so she changed her strategy by prodding them with such provocative words.

"Why wouldn't we have the nerve? We simply don't feel like going. That's all." Gabrielle wasn't that easy to provoke. And she wasn't going to let Vivian look down upon her.

"Really? Do you really not want to or are you just scared?" Vivian walked towards Gabrielle and leaned closer to the latter's ear. "I know about you and Mr. Morris. You don't want your good friend to find out about that, do you?"

Those words rendered Gabrielle speechless. 'What a conniving woman Vivian is! She's using my relationship with Westley as a blackmail?'

Vivian had mistaken Westley as Gabrielle's lover, but she still used it to threaten her.

Indeed, she was quite a daredevil.

Gabrielle certainly knew what Vivian meant. This woman was deliberately goading her by using the Westley card. It would be a pity if all of her "efforts" were to go in vain.

'If that's what she wants, then I have no choice but to go with her,' Gabrielle thought to herself.

Chances were that all of the seniors they would learn from were prominent figures of the jewelry industry. Even if Vivian had something despicable in mind, she wouldn't be able to do them in public.

This meant that Gabrielle had nothing to worry about. She simply didn't think that Vivian had the capability of causing even a little bit of chaos.

Besides, she could always count on Westley during an emergency. If Vivian hadn't mentioned him, she would've nearly forgotten about it.

In case something were to happen, Gabrielle figured she could ask Westley for help. After all, he had promised to protect and help her during any kind of trouble.

She had complete faith in him, for he was truly a powerful man.

With someone as excellent as him to rely on, she simply had nothing to fear, let alone someone like Vivian.

'I'm not even scared if there's ten of her!' Gabrielle proudly declared in her heart.

This wasn't the right time to be at odds with Vivian.

"Gabrielle, have I ever told you how smart and self-aware you are? That is exactly what the younger generation is supposed to be!" Gabrielle deliberately humbled her, and expressed her admiration for Vivian. The latter looked very satisfied with the compliments.

To her, it seemed as though Gabrielle was clever enough to behave in the manner she wanted her to. 'Perhaps she knows that her relationship with Westley is temporary,' Vivian thought to herself.

'For a man like Westley, changing girlfriends is probably as easy as changing clothes, even on a daily basis!

After all, the only thing Gabrielle has going for her is her pretty face. Men might find her attractive at first, but once they get bored of her, they'll abandon her right away! So, she might as well try to please me and beg me to meet the masters of the jewelry industry. It could be beneficial for her, after all!

I guess she's not completely stupid.

She's indeed worth teaching,' Vivian thought to herself.

All of a sudden, she became delighted, and her dislike of Gabrielle wasn't that intense anymore. 'If only she stayed away from Jason.

Gabrielle probably thinks she can count on Jason after she and Westley separate.'

When that thought crossed Vivian's mind, she became furious.

"You're absolutely right, Vivian. So, where are we going tonight?" Gabrielle asked with sincerity.

"Go hail a cab and then follow my car." Having said that, Vivian strutted away in her high heels.

She certainly wouldn't allow them to sit in her car, because she thought they didn't deserve it. Moreover, they would probably ruin her car.
