Lock You In My Heart Chapter 461
Gabrielle had a bad feeling Rose was implying something, so she hurried to her side.
“What do you mean, Rose? What trouble?” Gabrielle wanted to think Rose was giving her some sort of
warning.
”It’s nothing serious. A person like you who can’t even stand the sight of chickens getting killed wouldn’t
be able to stir up trouble. Besides, it was Lance who brought you here. You two aren’t actually blood-
rted? As in, not biological cousins, right?” Rose curiously eyed her.
Even though Rose looked uninterested in these things, she was still a girl. And girls usually liked to
gossip. It was something they couldn’t help.
”Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem?” Gabrielle had a hard time following Rose’s topics. Most of them
were random and personal. She would ask about one thing and bring up another.
”No problem at all. I just realized something.” Rose smiled teasingly.
”What is it? I’m already confused enough as it is.” Gabrielle stopped in her tracks.
There weren’t many people she could talk to in this ce. She only trusted Lance. As a woman, she
thought Rose was also someone she could talk to about all sorts of things.
”The Lance I know isn’t the type of person to take risks. He brought you here, a sheltered girl who can’t
even wield a weapon to Bangkok and hid in the forest. Even though he said he took you here to see
your brother, I think there’s more to this journey. He wouldn’t risk his life for just a cousin. It’s very
obvious Lance adores you very much. He likes you to the point he’s willing to do anything for you, even
if he risks his own life.” Rose smiled knowing smile.
Rose’s words stunned Gabrielle. She didn’t think Rose would be very observant.
Lance did in fact, like Gabrielle in the past. However, he suppressed his feelings and epted the fact
that they were only cousins.
She couldn’t believe how sharp Rose was. Gabrielle hadn’t been here that long and Rose seemed to
notice so much about her.
”Did I surprise you, Gabrielle? I’m such a smartass, but it has nothing to do with my wits. If a person
loves someone, it really shows,” Rose firmly exined.
”He’s my cousin. It won’t be possible for us to have that kind of rtionship. Let’s move along.”
Gabrielle didn’t want to talk about it anymore and continued to walk forward.
Rose knew she crossed the line with her question, so she dropped it quickly and caught up with
Gabrielle.
“Gabrielle, you can see the vegetable field from here.” Rose was fast to change the subject so she
could clear the tensed atmosphere.
Lance sat, staring seriously at Bain. He was waiting for the boss to say something and wondered what
they could be talking about, but she was too far away.
”You called me because you have something to say right? Get straight to the point, Bain.” Lance looked
him in the eye.
“What’s your rtionship with Miss Jones?” Bain asked.
”My rtionship with Gabrielle?”
Lance raised an eyebrow.
He didn’t know why Bain would ask him this, but it was probably because he was curious about
Gabrielle’s identity.
She was new to this ce and Lance brought her here on such short notice. If Bain didn’t trust
Gabrielle, that means he found Lance suspicious.
”What do you mean?’ ”Gabrielle is my cousin. She’s like a sister to me. Didn’t I tell you before? Or are
you starting to doubt me?” Lance tilted his head.
He was carefully choosing his words. They were still in Bain’s turf, so he had to keep Gabrielle from
harm.
Seeing that Lance was getting tensed, Bain calmly smiled. ”If I didn’t trust you, why would I take Bryce
in? I did it because you asked me. We help each
other out, remember?”
”I know, but why the sudden question? You even asked Gabrielle to leave with Rose. Has she done
something wrong? She is Bryce’s sister. She came to Bangkok with me because I called and told her
about him. She wouldn’t havee with me if it wasn’t an important matter.” Lance defended
Gabrielle.
“Have you heard of the Campbell Family in Italy?” Bain changed the subject.
“The Campbell Family, you say? I’ve heard rumors about their n but I’m not really familiar with them.
All I know is that they’re supposedly the biggest foreign n in Italy. Didn’t you have a beef with them?
I thought you already settled it. What’s up with them now?” Lance’s jaw tightened and he crossed his
arms.
He felt the heaviness of the air when Bain brought up the Campbell Family. Everyone knew Bain was a
very cunning man, and he wouldn’t have survived for so long if he wasn’t capable.
”Yes, the small conflict between me and the Campbell Family was resolved long ago. We agreed not to
interfere with each other’s businesses. As long as we follow this condition, we can both live in peace,
and they have no reason toe here again,” Bain exined.
Bangkok was a big city and everyone was wee toe. Even the Campbell Family. They knew
the forest was Scarlet Scar’s territory, and yet they still sent their men to this ce. They weren’t here
for a vacation. They were after something.
Bain had heard they didn’t specificallye for him or his men.
It made him skeptical. Bain didn’t recruit anyone recently. The only thing he did was give shelter to
Bryce. And because of that, Lance and Gabrielle came to the forest.
”You’re telling me the people of Campbell Family came here with an unknown motive? Are they looking
for a fight?” Lance had heard some bad rumors about the Campbell Family.
“The n was vicious and arrogant. If they raided the ce, they would leave no stone unturned. As
long as anyone targeted them and messed up their ns, they would fight back and destroy their
enemies, leaving no one alive.”
It wasn’t just a myth, it was a fact.
With such a force, it was undeniable that this little vige would be burned to the ground.
No wonder Bain would be bothered by this.
”Bain, did something happen between you and the Campbell Family? Have you offended them in some
way?” Even though Lance was a bit clueless about the Campbell Family, he knew what kind of person
Bain was. This man didn’t seem to be someone who would enjoy being too cruel to others. He was
more like an old administrator. He knew how to act appropriately depending on the situation. But of
course, someone who had done something against thew couldn’tpletely be a good person.
Given Bain’s history of business and transactions within different industries, it was no surprise he would
encounter problems like this.

”The Campbell Family has no business with me this time. They were looking for someone else. Do you
have any idea who could it be?” Bain asked Lance again, eyes narrowed.
Lance couldn’t think of anyone that might be rted to the Campbell Family, but he knew this was a
serious matter.
”No, I don’t. I’ve never met them since they’re too far away. I had no chance of meeting them at all,”
Lance answered without hesitation.
”Even if you don’t know them, your cousin might.” A hint of disdain appeared in Bain’s eyes.
”Bain, that’s impossible. Gabrielle has never set foot in Italy since she was born. She couldn’t have
established that kind of connection, especially with such a dangerous n. There’s just no way.” Lance
was ready to protect Gabrielle at all costs.
