Chapter 1916 A Filthy Woman
“No, wait, Larry, why do you need so much money all of a sudden? Did something happen?” Caspian asked in concern.
“Let’s not waste time talking about this for now. I’ll explain it to you later. Just prepare it for me!”
The truth will come out. Gabriella, Gabriella, you’re leaving yourself with no way out by taking it to such an extent.
Larry clenched his fingers tightly in a fist, a livid glint in his eyes.
“Stop right there! Why are you calling Larry? What’s happening? What’s with our previous agreement? Are there no more rules?” Gabriella chided aloud.
Lonnie sniggered.
Rules? Money is the only rule!
“Are rules more important than Mr. Newman’s life?” Lonnie looked at the brutal woman with a wrathful expression.
Never would he have expected that this woman had been actually spying on him!
“I can give you the sum of money you need. I’ll save your boss’ life!” Gabriella answered coldly.
It’s too late!
I’ll never trust what this woman says anymore. When she previously talked Mr. Newman off the roof, I had thought she was a good woman. But now, I see that she had only done so because she needed his help. Now, when he’s in great danger, she gives no damn at all, and even refuses to lend us money to pay for the medical expenses! What a wrench! And now, when she realizes I’ve contacted Larry, she reneges on her words and says she’ll save Mr. Newman!
How can I ever believe such a woman!
“There’s no need,” Lonnie replied dispassionately.
All at once, an irate glint glowed in Gabriella’s eyes, and she clenched her fists tightly.
You’re making me do it the hard way!
Gabriella asked in a low voice, “Don’t you want to become the boss instead?”
Lonnie widened his eyes in shock.
“Are you satisfied with being just the second in line?” she continued.
Lonnie snickered. What an atrocious woman. How dare she try to sow discord between Mr. Newman and I!
“Yes. I like to be the second in line.” With that, the man turned and left.
Gabriella was left alone on the spot with a steely glint in her eyes, so incensed.
Looks like I’m left with no other option!
She retrieved her phone and made a call.
“Hubert, Lonnie bullied me…” Gabriella wracked out some sobs.
“Wha—What did you just say?” Hubert responded weakly.
“Hubert, what happened to you? Where are you now?” Deliberately, Gabriella pretended to be anxious.
“I’m… at the hospital.”
Thirty minutes later, Gabriella appeared in Hubert’s ward.
“Hubert, what’s Lonnie trying to do? Even if our negotiation didn’t turn out well, you can’t burn your bridges. Look at what he’s doing now. He’s straight away selling me out!” Gabriella purposefully added that seemingly innocent piece of information.
Hubert had admired the woman for a long time. Naturally, he wouldn’t want to see her aggrieved, not even when the other person involved was his own man.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll talk to him,” Hubert replied in a low voice.
“Mr. Newman!” Out of nowhere, Lonnie barged into the ward with some supplements in his hands.
When he saw Gabriella, he froze on the spot, manifestly astounded. However, he regained his composure soon and put on his usual expression.
“Lonnie,” Hubert called out to him.
“Mr. Newman, if there’s anything you want to tell me, let’s wait until you recover, alright?” Lonnie looked at the bedridden man, deep concern in his eyes.
On the side, Gabriella was evidently agitated, which prompted her to grab the man by the shoulder. She started shaking it.
“Hubert,” she fawned.
At the sight of that, Lonnie understood the situation at once.
This Gabriella is such a filthy woman!
She won’t stop using others even when she clearly doesn’t like them!
Lonnie clenched his fist tightly, trying his best to contain his anger.
Hubert spoke with some difficulty. “Lonnie, I don’t know how much time I have left to live, so I want to ask you for a favor. Please protect Gabriella well. She is the woman I love most in this world.”
Tears started welling up in Lonnie’s eyes, and his heart ached in sorrow.
“Mr. Newman, stop it. You’ll get better!” Lonnie’s voice was trembling by then.
For a moment, Gabriella was moved by Hubert’s words, but the look on her face was soon replaced with her usual cruel and harsh expression.
Only Larry is worthy of my love. No one else can be the exception!
