Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 243


    Chapter 243 Cut The Dress Directly


    Mindy trembled under Gabrielle’s cold gaze, spilling the whole ss of wine on the hem of Gabrielle’s


    dress.


    The hemline of her silvery white dress was instantly stained with crimson blooming like bright red


    flowers. The dress was ruined, but Mindy didnYeel any remorse at all. In fact, she used her eyebrows


    with pride.


    “Now look what you made me do, Gabrielle. You spooked me all of a Sudden! You should be grateful I


    didn’t pour the wine for above your head,” Mindy said, smiling sarcastically.


    Gabrielle narrowed her eyes in anger. If looks could kill, she would have stabbed Mindy several times


    over by now. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. Karma’s going to bite you back soon.”


    “What did you say, Gabrielle?” Arge cloud of displeasure had now spread over Mindy’s face.


    Gabrielle looked away and stopped a waiter striding past with a tray of sses in his hand. Picking one


    of the sses, she took a contrived sip of the wine. “Wouldn’t it be a pity to waste this wine that tastes


    so perfect tonight?” Gabrielle whispered, licking her lips.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Could I have a pair of scissors?”


    she said suddenly, turning to the waiter, a smirk on her face.


    The waiter hurried away at once. Ond before Mindy could do anything, Gabrielle poured the drink from


    mér ss on her chest.


    INN


    The wine flowed doch within and outside Mindy’s dress


    The red wine coon suffused her light champagne-colored dress.


    “What on earth is this, Gabrielle? !” Mindy bellowed


    “Ohh, Mindy. Isn’t it just courteous that I reciprocate your act? I spilled a ss of red wine on you as


    you did earlier. And moreover, I poured it from top to bottom as you suggested. But, girl, doesn’t your


    dress look just perfect now = thebination of light champagne and


    crimson/” Gabrielle said, her voice cold and a bitter smile in her dark eyes.


    “Damn you, Gabrielle! I swear I’m going to kill you this very inoment!” Windy Screamed, enraged and


    anxious.


    “Calm down, Windy. We’ve got a lot of important people present today in Grandpa Kylo’s birthday party.


    You’ll only be embarrassing yourself if you make a scene here,” Cherie said, holding Mindy back


    “But…”


    “Cherie indeed has more sense than you, Mindy. If you wish, you malot listen to her and I won’t mind


    helping you make the scene. After all, I’m only an adopted daughter of the Jond Family, and I have


    been criticized since I was a child. On the other hand, you are a real daughter of the Carter family. Do


    you think your grandfather will be pleased to see you making scenes at his birthday party? Don’t you


    think he will dislike you more then?” Gabrielle interrupted Mindy, the coldness still glowing in her eyes.


    Mindy had stepped back now, seething. She of course knew that Gabrielle and Cherie were right.


    “It’s not over yet, Gabrielle. I’ll bring you to your knees one day, and you will beg me miserably!” Mindy


    bared her teeth, wagging an angry finger at Gabrielle’s face.


    The waiter soon returned to the wine stained women backing off from a fight or a quarrel or just


    something just as dramatic. He nced calmly at them. In his stay here at the Twillight Hotel, he had


    be so used to seeing such upRer ss women fight each other like ittle girls


    “Here are the scissors you asked for, Miss.”


    Handing the scissors Co Gabrielle, he smiled gently as though he hadn’t noticed the scene


    “Thank you.” V


    “Is there anything else you need me to do for you?


    “I need you to forget whatever you just saw here,” Gabrielle said with a faint Smile, and the waiter left


    immediately. bowing understandingly.


    All the staff here were sophisticated and


    careful not to offend these rich and powerful customers of theirs who were very difficult to handle.


    Holding the scissors, Gabrielle nced at the part of her dress where Mindy had Spilled the wine. It


    was not all that terrible, though. Then she bent slightly and shipped off the hemline of her dress half an


    inch above her knees, exposing her slender white legs.


    Then almost at once, she shovedhe scissors and the cut hemlinduinto Mindy’s hands.


    “What is the meaning of this, Gabrielle?” Mindy asked, her voice trembling with both surprise and mage


    Gabrielle had messed her dress with the wine, and here she was gain giving her the scissors and her


    mine. 3


    “I am only handing the evidence of your crime over to you.”


    As Gabrielle replied, a malignant smile was found at theers of her mouth.


    Mindy glowered at her. Yet, deep within, her heart fluttered with slight fear. She wondered why


    Gabrielle had be this brutal and domineering. Was it simply


    because she was now married to Westley?


    The man obviously didn’t love her. He hadn’t even made their marriage public yet. So what on earth


    was Gabrielle proud of?


    “Thedy of the Morris family has arrived!” The butler’s voice rang from


    At once, Gabrielle beamed with smiles, and scurried towards the entrance a meet Miley “Grandma!”


    Gabrielle called het,” her voice lit with delight.


    I Col


    Standing beside the car we had just got off, Miley watched happily as the youngerdy ranowards her


    and embraced her. “Bid youe in order to pick me up, Gabrielle?”


    “Yes, Grandma.” She didn’t stop smiling. “Uncle and Aunt, let me take you inside to see Grandpa.” She


    turned to Mr. Morris and Mrs. Morris, the two people behind Miley. They were Westley’s parents.


    Mr. Morris smiled warmly at Gabrielle; he held nothing against her. But Mrs. Morris frowned at her. She


    didn’t like the youngdy at all.


    She had always preferred Nellie for a daughter-inw, and now she could only but me Bryce for


    Nellie’s escaping from the weddingSomehow, she still suspected that the Jones family had nned


    that out. They must be doubly happy now that they had their son taken a daughter of Collins fainily


    away and their daughter married to a son of the Momis family.


    The maniptive ways of the Jone family had always repulsed Mrs. More making her dislike Gabrielle,


    an adopted daughter of the Joness.


    She knew that, although youngdy looked quite harmless, hemind was full of maniption and


    malice. One couldn’t expect a faro Ny as uncultured as the Jones family hise a good kid.


    Miley had insisted oning to Kylo’s birthday party with them, and Mrs. Morris wondered if Gabrielle


    and Wendy had schemed that out, too.


    “Will the marriage between Gabrielle and Westley be announced at the party?” Then Westley wouldn’t


    be able to divorce easily if Nellie returned in the future, Since everyone had known that the


    Morris family and Jones family were united by marriage.


    The thought of it made Mrs. Morris burn with more hatred for Gabrielle.


    “Take me in to ineet your grandfather, Gabrielle. We are now rtives by marriage!” Miley said,


    grinning.


    The words “rtives by marriage’ made Gabrielle tremble. She gazed at Miley, her mouth agape in


    nervous embarrassment “Grandma, my marriage with West hasn’t been made public yet. Even


    Grandpa knows nothing about in could you please not say anything about it for a while?” 2
