Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 23

Wendy arranged a driver to send Gabrielle to Vineyard Villa. She instructed him repeatedly to take her only there.

Gabrielle could tell why she was so erratic. She was afraid Gabrielle would run away.

"Ronin, stop the car!" Gabrielle urged the driver when they reached downtown.

Wendy had told Ronin not to let Gabrielle out of the car. She was rather stubborn. Wendy knew if she got out, it would be difficult to coax to get in again.

"Miss Jones, what is the matter?" Ronin asked in a low voice. He took a look at Gabrielle through the rearview mirror. She looked calm and composed.

Before Gabrielle could say anything, her phone rang. It was a call from Tobias.

She hesitated for a while, then answered the phone.

"What's up, Dad?"

She was in no mood to fake niceness.

"Gabrielle, have you reached Vineyard Villa?" Tobias asked anxiously.

"We are just crossing downtown. It will take a while. Dad, what can I do for you?"

Gabrielle knew something was up. Otherwise, Tobias would never have called her.

"Our stocks are falling! It must be because of Westley. When you reach Vineyard Villa, can you urge him not to brutally drive us to a dead end? The Jones has brought you up. I know you are upset with your mother. But I can assure you once this problem is solved, such a thing will never happen again!" Tobias was a middle-aged man. He had never been humble, and was dragged into this trouble by Wendy.

Gabrielle was shocked to hear him. Their stocks were falling?
