Chapter 50 Sloane Was Bleeding
Westley drove back to the restaurant and found Gabrielle squatting on the roadside five hundred meters away from the intersection. Her helpless and pitiful disposition made her look like an abandoned child.
The moment she heard Westley’s car come to a screeching halt in front of her, Gabrielle looked up. She was relieved to see Westley somehow. She tried to get up and open the door but sat back immediately. Her feet were numb and could barely move.
Seeing how weak and debilitated she was, Westley pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked up to her.
“Since when did you become so weak, Gabrielle?” he asked. His words were dripping with sarcasm, of course.
“L..I just sprained my ankle, so I had to sit down. And my legs have gone numb after sitting for such a long time,” Gabrielle replied, faintly. She looked up at Westley with red eyes. It was clear as day that she had been crying
Westley was still angry with her, but when he saw how vulnerable and pale she looked, he cooled down. What was it about women that bothered him so much?
He bent down and took her in his arms
“Oh! You don’t have to carry me, Westley It’s only a slight sprain. It’s not that senous… ” Gabrielle reasoned.
She wasn’t used to being cared for by Westley like this. She would rather he treated her with indifference like any other day.
“Shut up.” snapped Westley. “Stop wasting my time and lean on me. The rest of us haven’t been sitting idle like you. We have places to be… Things to do!” Westley threw her unceremoniously into the passenger seat and returned to the driver’s seat, after flashing her a cold glance. 1
Gabrielle fastened her seatbelt quietly. knowing all too well that Westley was right. He took time out of his busy schedule to come back and pick her up, after all. He didn’t have to do that. She thought it best to not argue anymore.
“I need to go to the Brilliance Hotel, Westley.” she said, with urgency. “Please get is there as soon as you can. And, thanks… for everything.” She blushed sheepishly as she added that last sentence. Gabrielle took out her phone and frantically dialed Sloane several times, but there was no answer. This upset Gabrielle and made her even more anxious than she already was.
Sloane had told her that she went to the Hall Group to look for Denny in the afternoon. So. why was she beaten up at the Brilliance Hotel tonight? It didn’t make sense.
Did this have anything to do with Benny? On that note, Gabrielle called Benny.
He didn’t answer the phone either. ‘What is he doing?’ Gabrielle wondered.
Westley drove the car fast. He glanced sideways at Gabrielle and saw the frightened look on her face. “Gabrielle…” he started.
“I know what you want to say to me, Westley. ” she interjected, “I had dinner with Micheal tonight only to thank him for saving my life. It didn’t mean anything else. If you are still angry with me, punish me later, okay? I have to save my best friend. I’m scared she’ll be in bigger trouble if I reach too late. I’m begging you.” Gabrielle’s eyes pleaded with Westley’s.
Westley only wanted to ask her how her leg was feeling. But now it didn’t seem as important. Her friend was in danger and needed their help, so that was what he would focus on right now.
He hit the pedal to the floor and sped up. They arrived at the gate of the Brilliance Hotel in a matter of minutes.
And now. he suddenly wanted to know everything more than ever.
‘Look at her go,’ he thought. Only a while ago. she had sprained her ankle. But the way she was fighting right now, it didn’t seem like she was in any pain at all.
“Ah!” Sloane screamed in pain and collapsed after one of the women hit her arm with the sharp heel of her shoe.
“Sloane!” Gabrielle shouted. In that nanosecond that Gabrielle looked at Sloane, she got kicked hard from behind and tumbled forward. Fortunately, she recovered quickly and stood up steadily, albeit with indignation
“Stop this at once!” Westley shouted in a cold voice. The women stopped fighting, startled to hear a man’s voice out of nowhere. They all looked at him.
How ironic was this? These women, who one would expect to dress beautifully and walk daintily, were in shambles: tangled hair, smudged make-up, and tom dresses,
“They all looked terrible,” he thought.
*Westley, to to the back entrance,” Gabrielle uttered. She didn’t see Sloane at the gate, so she figured the back entrance would be a good place to look for her.
“How dare she order me about? Who does she think she is?” thought Westley. He had never been ordered to do anything before. But it wasn’t the right time to argue. Finding and saving Sloane was more important.
When they pulled up to the back, Gabrielle gasped. There Sloane was, in a fight with three voluptuous women. And it looked like she was losing. 1
Before the car came to a complete halt, Gabrielle had already pushed open the door and gotten out of the car. She kicked off her shoes and ran towards Sloane’s attackers. “Those Taekwondo lessons she took with Bryce will finally pay off,’ she thought.
Gabrielle could easily resist and sidestep the attackers. She didn’t even need to retaliate that hard. But one look at Sloane lying on the ground with a bloody face was enough. Gabrielle went crazy. Her blood began to boil and her eyes gleamed with rage.
“Sloane! Are you okay?” Gabrielle asked as she knelt in front of her.
Sloane took a deep breath and smiled at her. “Gabrielle, you’re here!” she exclaimed. “I
knew you’d come for me. I’m fine. Now, let’s beat those bitches to death!”
As soon as Sloane uttered those words. Gabrielle, who was ready to cry, burst into laughter instead. “Okay. Let’s get them! How dare they bully you like this?” Gabrielle growled, looking at Sloane’s attackers menacingly.
“You’re going to pay, bitches! Nobody beats my friend so brutally and gets away with it!” Gabrielle stood up and tied the lower part of her long dress to her waistband. She glared at the three women fiercely. She was ready.
The attackers were visibly worn out from fighting with Sloane, but when they saw another woman appearing, they gathered themselves and prepared to fight again.
“Looks like you have a death wish, bitch,” spat one of the women. “But if that’s what you want, we’ll gladly help you get there.”
“Who are you, anyway?” sneered another. “After all, we need a name and address to send your corpses to.” Gabrielle’s lip curled slightly, betraying her composed face.
Now, she was really annoyed. Not only did these women beat her best friend, but also thought they would be able to knock her out. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“You want to be reckless. that’s on you,”
macked the third one. “I guess we’ll just have to send you and Sloane to the crematory
Gabrielle was done talking She lifted her foot, ready to fight.
In a flash, the three women ambushed her They were at each other’s throats. Sloane, who had been lying on the floor, joined the fight with renewed energy.
Meanwhile, Westley had been a few steps behind Gabrielle. When he entered the scene, it was far from anything imaginable. The brawling women were a shocking sight indeed. He had never seen women fight so fiercely before.
It looked like Gabrielle had the upper hand, but her face was red from being slapped and her arm was scratched and bleeding.
Her long dress was tied up around her thigh, and her white, slender legs caught Westley’s eye. When she lifted her leg to kick her opponent, he couldn’t help but notice how agile she was. He didn’t know Gabrielle could be so aggressive.
He could tell that she had practiced that kick many times before. “What else could she do?’ he wondered
Clearly, there was a lot he didn’t know about
