Holly's words made Gabrielle smile. Her smile was soft yet icy, as if she were staring at a clown.
“I've always thought you were a very smart woman, Holly. But I didn't expect you to be so stupid.” Gabrielle rolled
her eyes. Her every word hurt Holly like a sharp knife.
Holly had never felt so humiliated before. What Gabrielle said was too harsh. Holly was used to praises and flattery
and it was the first time someone had treated her like this.
“Who do you think you are to talk to me like that, Gabrielle? How dare you call me stupid!?" Holly stood up, her
eyes glaring.
In contrast to her anger, Gabrielle,was cool as a cucumber. She merely stared at Holly indifferently.
“You're the one embarrassing yourself. Do you honestly believe I'd get myself in trouble just for someone like you?
Besides, what reason do I have to kill you? We're barely friends nor enemies. Murder is such a heavy accusation. You
should watch what you say." Gabrielle flashed a mocking smile. Holly thought she was complacent.
“You married Westley, Gabrielle. That makes you my enemy." Holly's mood had become so sour. The only thing she
wanted right now was for this woman to leave in front of her.
"Isn't that right? Since I'm the winner, why would I waste time hating you? I should be savoring my victory and be
happy like every winner is. I'm sure seeing me and Westley being so in love is a far worse punishment for you. I
don't even need to get my hands dirty. Jealousy will be a slow death, ripping your heart out inside and [| couldn't
care any less." Gabrielle was smug. :
Holly clenched her fists. What Gabrielle said was too much that Holly wanted to rip her face apart.
"You get out right now!" Holly shouted angrily.
It would be Gabrielle's pleasure. She didn't intend to watch Holly eat. Bringing her food was just an excuse to rile
her up. She didn't care whether Holly wanted to eat or mot, even if she starved to death, it wasn't any of her
business. - oo
"Fine, fine. I'll leave now before you blow a fuse. Westley is waiting for me outside. I don't want him to catch a cold.”
Gabrielle sighed. I
“Are you saying that Westley is outside right now?" Holly couldn't believe it.
"That's right. Surely you didn't think I came here all alone? After all, it's my first time coming here. He was so
worried about me getting lost that he took the time to accompany me here. He just decided to wait outside because
he doesn't want to see you." She stressed the last few words.
“Bullshit! Westley couldn't possibly have said that. You're definitely lying." Holly stood up excitedly. She yanked the
needle from her hand and headed for the door.
“Are you sure you want Westley to see you like that? You'd probably frighten him away." Gabrielle chuckled.
“What do you know, Gabrielle? Leave me alone. I'm going to see Westley...”
Holly had thought she was so special, but it was all a farce.
So when Helena died, she became nothing more but a stranger to the manshe loved.
Gabrielle was right. If Westley had feelings for her in the slightest, Nellie wouldn't have been Westley’s first choice
back then.
Even if she knew that, she couldn't bear to hear it from Gabrielle.
"I believe you understand what ['m saying, Holly. No matter how much you love Westley, he can't return your
feelings. He is my husband now and we love each other very much. ] will protect what's mine with everything I have.
I will not allow anyone to touch or take Westley from me. If you keep doing this, I will not just sit around, so don't push me, Holly. I don't want to hurt you," Gabrielle warned.
Holly was tongue-tied and couldn't say a single word. She simply felt as if all of her thoughts had been exposed in the open.
She felt so defeated and lost all the strength to say thing back.
"Now that I've brought you the food, it's up to you if you'll eat ‘it or not, but you better patch the back of your hand
since it's still bleeding. I'll be taking my leave.” After saying that, Gabrielle opened the door.
Holly stood there for a while, shaking with resentment. Like a lunatic, she snatched up the fruit knife on the table and dashed over to Gabrielle.
"Go to hell, Gabrielle!"
With sharp senses, Gabrielle fortunately, reacted quickly and whirled around to avoid Holly's attack. She grabbed Holly's hands and moved away from the knife's sharp end. Otherwise, she would have been stabbed.
"What in the world are you doing, Holly? Are you crazy?!" Gabrielle pushed her against the wall with all her might.
