Chapter 223 Heartless


    Chapter 223 Heartless


    "What? Ste is missing?"


    Gabriel''s face immediately darkened.


    His icy gaze shot toward Thomas.


    Since yesterday, he had repeatedly reminded Thomas of enhancing security measures.


    He couldn''t believe that a living person had just disappeared under everyone''s nose.


    A surge of anger rose within him.


    Zoe''s prediction turned out to be correct. After the poisoning incident yesterday, the other party was


    still not content and dared to make a move.


    These b*stards were ying with fire.


    Thomas hunched his body, not daring to lift his head. "B... Boss, I''m sorry. It''s all my fault."


    He was too ashamed to face Gabriel.


    Although it was almost impossible to ensure the security of all personnel in such chaotic


    circumstances today, it should not be an excuse for Ste''s abduction.


    The senators all had serious expressions, sharing Gabriel''s indignation.


    Barry, in particr, eximed, "This is outrageous. How dare they snatch Mr. Gabriel''s people right


    under our noses? I will immediately mobilize the police force to seal off the entire city and find Ms.


    Turner at all costs."


    With trouble brewing in Silverwood and happening right under his nose, his reputation as the chief


    senator of Birchwood was challenged.


    He was eager to mobilize all the police forces and get Ste back for Gabriel.


    "Mr. Sullivan, thank you for your kindness." Gabriel''s expression remained cold. "Don''t mobilize the


    police force for now, so as not to provoke those people to harm Ste. I believe that whoever


    kidnapped her only wants to threaten me. Someone should contact me soon."


    Coincidentally, his phone rang.


    He quickly took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number.


    At this time, receiving a call from an unknown number was either a tel fraud or the person who


    abducted Ste.


    He was about to answer the call when Zoe pushed open the door and entered. "Gabriel, don''t


    answer it. Hang up!"


    "Zoe!" Gabriel stopped just as he was about to press the answer button.


    Although he didn''t know why Zoe didn''t want him to answer the call, he still hung up.


    "Zoe, do you have a way to save Ste?" Gabriel asked anxiously.


    Zoe nodded and said, "Gabriel, I have a method, but it''s very risky. If sessful, we can find Ste


    soon."


    ...


    ...


    In the lobby on the first floor, chaos ensued as everyone was lost and confused.


    The Twelve Birds were all crestfallen, afraid of provoking Gabriel.


    Those girls were panic-stricken and at a loss.


    Gabriel and the others walked out of the elevator.


    Anger was evident on their faces.


    Ava hurriedly approached Gabriel and asked anxiously, "Gabriel, did the bad guys take Ste?"


    Although she had been jealous of Ste all along, she held no ill will toward Ste.


    After spending some time together, they formed a slight bond.


    Ste being abducted genuinely worried her.


    "Yes!" Gabriel nodded, but he appeared rxed, showing no signs of excessive concern.


    This instantly confounded Ava.


    What was going on? Ste had been taken by the bad guys, yet he seemed indifferent.


    Gabriel smiled and said, "It''s not important. What matters is the grand opening of the club."


    "So many guests are waiting. There''s no need for me to be distracted by one woman. Throughout


    my life, I''ve nevercked women."


    "Look at these beautifuldies. Are any of them worse than Ste? Don''t you think so, Mr.


    Sullivan?"


    He was referring to Ava and others.


    Indeed, these women were all enchanting and stunningly beautiful.

    Barry burst intoughter and said, "Mr. Gabriel, you''re absolutely right. It''s just a woman. Those


    kidnappers are truly idiots if they think that snatching a woman will affect you. Women are like


    clothes. You can just change them as you like. After the opening ceremony, I''ll have people seal off


    Silverwood and slowly dig out those kidnappers."


    The conversation between Gabriel and Barry left Ava and the other girls dumbfounded.


    What was happening?


    When did Gabriel be such a heartless person?


    Just then, Gabriel''s phone rang once again.


    This time, he answered the phone.


    "Gabriel, your woman is in my hands!" A sinister voice came from the other end.


    But Gabriel just chuckled. "Whatever! Today is the grand opening of my club, with many high-


    ranking officials present. I can''t be bothered with you. As for that woman, do whatever you want with


    her. Once you''re done, you''d better think about how to escape."


    After saying these words, Gabriel hung up the phone.


    Such actions once again stunned Ava and the others.


    Ava''s mouth hung open as she stared at Gabriel in disbelief.


    Even the kidnapper called, yet Gabrielpletely ignored Ste. Was he still the same man she


    knew?


    "Thomas!" Gabriel suddenly called out.


    "Boss!" Thomas hurriedly stepped forward.


    Only then did Gabriel''s expression turn serious as he said to Thomas, "It''s just a woman, and I don''t


    care. But my sister is someone of utmost importance to me. You must protect her well."


    "There are many people at the club today, so personally take some people and escort my sister to


    Dynasty Hotel. Protect her with your lives."


    "Remember this, my sister is more important than those useless women. If you fail to protect her


    well, I will take your life."


    "Yes, sir!" Thomas acknowledged the order.


    Gabriel''s tone softened, and he turned to Zoe. "Zoe, I have an important ribbon-cutting ceremony to


    attend. I won''t be able to personally apany you. Stay at the hotel, and don''t wander around. I''ll


    come find you once I''m done."


    Zoe nodded and followed Thomas to leave.


    Under the astonished gazes of the women, Gabriel invited Barry and the others, saying, "Mr.


    Sullivan, let''s take a break inside and wait for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. It''s just an unimportant


    woman. I will give her brother a sum of money to settle it."


    "Gabriel has changed." Ava was on the verge of tears.


    The way Gabriel acted terrified her.


    He showed such heartlessness towards Ste. Would he abandon her like this one day too?


    Not far away, at the staircase, a waitress smiled as she observed everything before her.


    A deep voice came through her earpiece. "I just called Gabriel. That kid doesn''t care at all about his


    woman. He''s truly heartless. We''ve been wasting our efforts."


    "Dad, Gabriel has too many women. He doesn''t care about the one you took. But I just received


    news that the person Gabriel cares most about is his sister. His sister is on her way to Dynasty


    Hotel, being watched over by a few useless people. Gabriel is busy with the ribbon-cutting


    ceremony and can''t take care of these matters. How about you go and capture her?"


    "Good. I''m on it."


    Just as the waitress hung up the phone, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.


    She turned around abruptly and was immediately startled.
