Lock You In My Heart Chapter 571
Lock You In My Heart
The Sanderson Family in Ensfield had nothing to do with Westley. They had no relationship whatsoever, either personally or professionally.
The only reason Westley cared about this matter was because Gabrielle was involved. Otherwise, he would not have interfered in the affairs of this family.
Each member of this family was dangerous, from the four sons to the seven grandsons. It wouldnât be easy for Westley to deal with them.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense would keep their distance from this family. Messing with the Sandersons was like having a death wish.
âYou said they have seven grandsons?â Gabrielle asked in shock.
She would never have believed that the Sanderson Family was so big. She thought there were at most five young men in this family and that Denton was the youngest.
Gabrielle was utterly stunned to discover that there were seven young gentlemen in the family.
âThese are not people to mess with. You could see for yourself how tough these three guys were. Well, their four cousins are just as tough. I found out that it was the third grandson of the Sanderson Family who was the mastermind behind the plot to assassinate Victor. It is quite possible that Nathan was also involved in it to some extent. Some time ago he came to Bangkok to supposedly attend a jewelry show. However, Iâm convinced he actually came for Victor. Luckily, we acted early and the Campbell Family took Victor. Nathan canât get Victor while heâs with the Campbell Family,â Westley said coldly.
They had been very lucky that the Campbell Family agreed to keep Victor. Otherwise, they would be in serious trouble now.
âI really feel sorry for Victor. How can brothers turn against one of their own like this? And the height is that they are trying to kill him... Is he at least still alive?â At this moment, Gabrielle was really concerned about Victor. After all, she was the one who asked Westley to save him.
Gabrielle felt it was all her fault. If she hadnât asked Westley to save Victor, she wouldnât have gotten into trouble with the Sanderson Family and they wouldnât be pursued so much by members of this sinister family.
Anyways, it was no use regretting now.
âHeâs alive. Donât worry about him. He is safe with the Campbell Family. Victor is smart and he knows that the best for him right now is to stay at the Campbell Familyâs place to heal his wounds. However, the Sanderson Family wonât give up until they have found and killed him. The fact is Victor is the only one at the head of the Sanderson Group. As long as heâs alive, no one else can get control of the business. So, heâs still in danger. At least six prominent members of his own family want him dead. But Victor is a cunning businessman and thereâs no way he would risk his own life.â Westleyâs face was expressionless as he spoke.
For her part, Gabrielle was rather uncomfortable. By now, she had understood the full extent of the threat hovering over them.
âThis place is safe for Victor, but itâs too dangerous for me. Letâs go back early, okay? No one knows what could happen tomorrow,â she said to Westley.
The last thing she would want would be to run into any young son of the Sanderson Family. She would not tolerate it if each of these brutes was after her. She had no intention of waiting to ask them what they wanted from her. She just didnât want to have anything to do with the Sanderson Family, especially after her encounter with Denton. âWeâll go back to Antawood in two days.
Soon, this whole town will be full of members of the Sanderson Family. We definitely canât stay here any longer.â After saying that, Westley started the car and drove back to the villa. Gabrielle was really nervous now. She had been wondering why the Sanderson Family was after her. Now she had her answer. What was this family where brothers turned against each other?
Gabrielle realized that she would have to be careful about who she got close to in the future. However, she also had this feeling that it was fate that caused her and the Sanderson Familyâs paths to cross. Perhaps God felt that since she married Westley, she was too happy, so he decided to put her into trouble. Westley noticed Gabrielleâs uneasiness and tried to comfort her. âDonât worry. When we go back to Antawood, we wonât have anything to do with the Sanderson Family anymore. Everything will be fine then,â he sai d gently. Westley said this both for Gabrielle and for himself. In reality, he wasnât sure that things would return to normal once they returned to Antawood. The fact was that too many things had happened during their stay in Bangkok.
Even though they wouldnât admit it, some things had changed. âI know that, Westley. I believe everything will be fine when we go back to Antawood,â Gabrielle said in earnest, holding Westleyâs hand tightly. By the time they reached the villa, Gabrielle was in a much better mood. Westley had managed to make her relax and forget the dire situation in which they found themselves.
Feeling better, Gabrielle went to their room to arrange the roses. After that, she took a long shower and changed her clothes. It was only then that she finally went downstairs.
Westley was in the kitchen, cooking. Remy was also there.
Remy hadnât come to the villa very often these past few days. Gabrielle figured he was probably busy, so she didnât ask.
However, she was really excited to see that he was back. âRemy, youâre back,â Gabrielle said happily.
âYeah, Iâm back at last.â Remy smiled at her.
âI hope youâll stay for dinner. Itâs been a while since we had you over for dinner,â Gabrielle said, looking expectantly at the man sitting on the kitchen chair.
Remy was a good friend of Westley, but with time, he managed to make a place for himself in Gabrielleâs heart too. She really considered him a friend now.
After all, they had been living together in Bangkok for a while. Gabrielle felt that they were now more like family.
âOf course Iâll stay for dinner. Just let me go to my room and take a shower. I think the dinner will be soon ready. Itâs a real pleasure to have a good ready-made food.â After saying that, Remy stood up and walked out of the kitchen happily.
Just as he walked past her, Gabrielle smelled a faint odor of blood covered by disinfectant.
However, she didnât think much. As a doctor, he definitely met many injured patients very often. So it was but normal for him to be exposed to blood.
after Remy left, Gabrielle walked to Westley and said in a relaxed tone, âWestley, Iâve arranged the flowers in our room. Itâs so beautiful now.â
âYou are a hundred times more beautiful than any flowers,â Westley said in a sweet voice. He was really honey-tongued. âYouâll make me blush if you keep on praising me like this all the time.â Gabrielle hit Westley playfully on the shoulder as she spoke.
She knew she was just fairly pretty. However, Westley showered her with praise each time as if she were a goddess. His constant praise made Gabrielle feel like she was a fairy. âI meant every word, Gabrielle. You are really beautiful. Now, go out and wait. The food will be ready soon.â Westley wanted her to wait outside so he could serve her as the queen she was.
However, Gabrielle refused. âI want to stay with you,â she said firmly. She then took a large red apple and took a big bite. Then she brought the apple to Westleyâs lips. Smiling, Westley also took a big bite of the apple. âHey, what have you done to this apple? Itâs so delicious,â Westley said ith a serious look on his face. âStop kidding! Apples all taste the same. Itâs not any better just because I gave it to you!â Of course, Gabrielle wouldnât believe each of Westleyâs sweet words. Suddenly, the look on Gabrielleâs face became serious and she asked, âWestley, where has Remy been these days?
â In act, the reason she stayed in the kitchen was to find out where Remy had been lately. Gabrielle knew it was not appropriate to ask about other peopleâs private affairs, but she really cared about Remy. âHe had been busy with his work. Actually he has been at a medical seminar in Chiang Mai for two days.â Westley didnât ind anything wrong with Gabrielle asking him about Remyâs whereabouts and he readily told her what she wanted to know. âOh, I see. Itâs amazing to see how dedicated Remy is to his profession. He must be really passionate about saving lives.â s she spoke, Gabrielle took another bite of the apple and then brought it to Westleyâs mouth again. In fact, she didnât believe that Remy was at a medical seminar. She had clearly smelled blood on Remy just now. Westley as definitely hiding the truth from her. Gabrielle could only hope that she was wrong and that it was just a seminar as Westley said.
