Chapter 5 It Is Really A Good Scheme
“Austin, I don’t need these shoes. I’d better wear the pair I was wearing earlier.” Gabrielle could tell
Westley didn’t like her talking to Austin. She didn’t want the two of them to fight because of her.
“It’s okay, Gabrielle. Just take it. I’ll pay Miah from your side, don’t worry.”
Westley came to Gabrielle’s side. The feeling of his tall body next to hers made Gabrielle nervous.
Westley looked down at the blisters on Gabrielle’s white and tender feet with narrow eyes and pursed
lips.
“Mr. Morris, here is the ointment.” A servant brought a green opaque tube.
Westley, the second youngest master of the family, was the most frightening one. He had been enrolled
in the military for many years, and was trained to be strict and righteous. His mere presence scared
everyone else.
“Thank you.” Gabrielle was about to take the tube but Austin grabbed it first.
Gabrielle nced up at Austin. “Austin, let me do it.”
“Gabrielle, let me help you.” Austin opened the tube,pletely ignoring Westley.
“You two know each other? How intimate you are!” said Westley through his teeth, looking at him and
Gabrielle with using eyes.
“Westley, Gabrielle used to be an intern at Jason’s studio. We are friends,” Austin exined calmly. He
didn’t see why he shouldn’t be friendly with Gabrielle.
“No matter how friendly you are, from now on, Gabrielle is your sister-inw. The Morris family and the
Foster family must have taught you to respect the elders, haven’t they?” Westley’s face was calm, but
his eyes were cold.
Gabrielle could tell Westley was annoyed. In just a day, she had found out that he was a short-
tempered person.
“Gabrielle, you also cannot talk to him so casually. You are his sister-inw. Go and wait for me in the
car with the ointment,”
Westley ordered with his hands tucked in his pockets.
Without wasting another moment, Gabrielle quickly took the ointment, wore the shoes Austin had
gotten for her, and went to the car.
“Westley, I thought you were marrying Nellie. How did you end up marrying Gabrielle? How do you
even know her?”
Austin asked directly.
“That’s none of your business. Remember that she is my wife now. Don’t be too friendly with her. I don’t
want to hear any nasty rumors,”
said Westley in a low voice. His gaze was fixed on Austin’s face.
The two cousins were not very close in the first ce. Seeing that Austin already knew Gabrielle,
Westley found his nerves were set on edge. Although he did not like Gabrielle himself, he had still
married her. Now she needed to behave like Mrs. Morris.
“You are misunderstanding. Gabrielle and I are only friends!”
Austin smiled innocently.
“I only wanted to know why you married Gabrielle instead of Nellie,” Austin said without any hesitation.
He really wanted to know what was going on. He knew Westley had been in love with Nellie. Why then,
had he married Gabrielle? And where was Nellie?
On the other hand, Gabrielle was about to enter the car when Liana stopped her.
“Wait a minute, Gabrielle!”
Gabrielle turned around to find Liana standing with her arms folded against her chest. “Aunt Liana,
what’s the matter?”
Gabrielle knew Liana was thest person in the Morris family to like her. She was staring at Gabrielle
like an arch-nemesis.
“Gabrielle, don’t think that you have sessfully be the young hostess of the Morris family.
Westley only married you so the wedding didn’t have to be called off!”
Liana didn’t pretend to be polite. When she didn’t like someone, she made no attempt to hide it.
Gabrielle maintained a calm face even though she was nervous inside. She didn’t know what she could
say to Liana.
“Westley married you because he wanted a temporary substitute for Nellie. Don’t you dare think it is
that easy to enter the Morris family. You can never be qualified to sit among us. This position only
belongs to Nellie!” Liana warned Gabrielle overbearingly, taking a step closer to her.
Gabrielle had never wanted to be the young hostess of the Morris family.
In fact, she already had someone special in her heart.
“I know, Aunt Liana,” Gabrielle replied obediently.
“Good. Don’t be misled into thinking you will be here forever. When Nelliees back, you will
rightfully give this position up. Now tell me, didn’t Jones family n her escape? I must give it to you
guys, what a scheme you came up with! You got to marry Westley and your trashy brother got to marry
Nellie! Simply amazing!”
Liana hissed, observing Gabrielle’s astounded face. What a phony she was!
“You’re misunderstanding, auntie. That’s not what happened…” Gabrielle had no choice but to stand
there and take her insults. She didn’t like to be wronged at all, and Liana had used both her and her
family of something so cheap.
It was obvious Nellie had chosen to run away from the wedding because she didn’t want to marry
Westley. How sick it was that Liana thought this was all part of some conspiracy by the Jones family!
Ridiculous!
Liana was imagining things!
Did the so-called upper ss always go about using others like this?
“Good. If we find out the Jones family had anything to do with it, we will make sure you all disappear
from Antawood! And I am sure you know that is not an empty threat!” Liana, like Westley, did not
attempt to be nice to Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was well aware that the Morris family really had the power to drive the Jones family out of the
city.
“Mom, what are you doing out here?” Westley’s voice came from behind Liana.
“What could I be doing? I was only reminding Gabrielle of her ce. She should always be aware of
her identity and not get any ideas she shouldn’t have, you know? Only Nellie can be a part of this
family. When shees back, this woman needs to get the hell out of here!” Looking back at Westley’s
angry face, Liana’s own hatred toward Gabrielle was strengthened even more.
“Gabrielle, did you hear her clearly?” Westley cast a cold nce at Gabrielle.
“Yes, I did. I wouldn’t even dream of being where I don’t belong. I will leave the moment Miss Collins
comes back.” Gabrielle would leave earlier if it was in her hands.
Liana snorted at Gabrielle and looked back at Westley. “Westley, Nellie ran away because she got
wedding jitters. You were always on business trips and didn’t get a chance to meet her. She must have
thought you were not paying enough attention to her. You better send some people to look for her.
Don’t wait for her toe back on her own! What if she doesn’t? Some girls need to be coaxed…”
“Mom, I’ll handle it. I have something to deal with at work right now. I’m leaving.” Westley got into the
car.
“Get in the car! Are you waiting for me to carry you in? Or are you waiting for Austin?” Westley spoke
sharply, knowing it would make her feel guilty.
Gabrielle was shocked to hear him mention Austin’s name. How relentless was this man! She
suppressed her irritation and got in the car.

After a while, she thought she should address the issue before it became bigger. “Mr. Morris, I… Austin
is just a friend. It’s not asplicated as you think,” said Gabrielle, trying to break the ice.
“Complicated? I am not interested at all. If you want to seduce a man, you are free to do it. But don’t do
it in front of me,” Westley said heartlessly. What did he think of her? What had she done to inspire such
hate in him?
Gabrielle swallowed her displease bitterly and decided to let it go. The more she tried to exin
herself, the angrier Westley got.
“What’s more, spend more time looking for your brother. Don’t wait for me to send someone to look for
him. I don’t care if the Jones family loses their sole descendant, but I’m sure you do.” The car sped up
all of a sudden, causing her to jerk back.
Westley saw her pale face and pursed his lips. He was driving faster on purpose to scare this woman
since she obviously made him unhappy.
