Caspian easily dragged her to the entrance of Norton Corporation and threw her out of the building.
Gabriella almost fell to the ground from the shove. After regaining her balance, she became hysterical as she had never suffered such humiliation before, especially as a daughter of the prominent Ward family.
“You dog of the Nortons, do you know who I am? How dare you touch me!”
Gabriella continued to roar at Caspian, “Let me in, or else I will get Larry to fire you!”
Staring at Gabriella who had lost all senses, Caspian remained expressionless and replied calmly, “I’m sorry Ms. Ward, my boss has told me that everyone is allowed to enter except for you.”
“That’s impossible! Larry would never treat me that way. How dare you keep me out?”
Caspian’s words had only served to infuriated Gabriella further.
“You must have decided to not let me in on your own accord!”
Gabriella refused to give up as she charged forward again, screaming.
“Let me in! Let me in!”
Standing in front of her, Caspian’s body was like an immovable mountain.
“You’re just a dog of the Nortons!” Gabriella was so outraged that she hurled a slap at Caspian’s face.
However, Caspian managed to catch her hand and glared coldly back at her.
You crazy woman. I had wanted to show you mercy but it seems that you are not appreciative of it. Don’t blame me for being rough, then.
“You deserve this!” Just as he spoke, Caspian returned her slap.
Slap! As the crisp sound rang out, a palm print appeared on Gabriella’s face.
“You… you dare hit me?”
Gabriella looked at Caspian in disbelief. A mere bodyguard dared to slap me!
“My boss had ordered me to teach you a lesson if you continue to cause trouble. He said that he will shoulder the responsibility of whatever happens.”
After slapping Gabriella, Caspian was filled with a sense of gratification. However, he dared not push his luck. After all, she was a daughter of the Wards.
“Ms. Wards, my boss would like to warn you that if you continue to be difficult, he will expose you as the mastermind of the kidnapping incident. When that happens, I’m afraid you will have to go to prison.”
Running thin on patience, Caspian issued her an ultimatum.
Evidently, Caspian’s threat of sending her to prison shook her back to her senses.
However, unwilling to leave quietly, she glared at Caspian and scowled, “Just you wait, I’ll get back at you one day!”
Not wanting to be humiliated further, Gabriella quickly got into her car and drove away.
When she arrived home fuming and wanted to return to her room, she coincidentally ran into Landon.
She didn’t feel like talking to him, so she turned in another direction to avoid him.
“Stop where you are.”
Noticing that she was trying to hide, Landon called out to her. “Now that you’re back, I have something to ask you.”
Realizing that there was no avoiding it, she turned around and replied with her head lowered, “What is it, Dad?”
“Gabriella, I heard that the Norton Corporation has organized a press conference. Does it have anything to do with you?”
Landon was just informed that his daughter was now in an awkward position for fabricating lies. Storming downstairs in rage, he had wanted to find out the truth and didn’t expect to run into Gabriella.
“Dad, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
Unwilling to tell him, Gabriella planned to hide the truth from her father.
“Gabriella, I have heard some rumors. You must tell me everything truthfully. If you have gotten yourself into any trouble, I will definitely help you.”
Landon looked affectionately at Gabriella. Given that she was the only child, he couldn’t tolerate her being hurt in any way.
