Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 112 She Cut Her Hand
Gabrielle was changing her clothes when she received a call from Lance. She rushed her pace before grabbing her phone and
answered in a hurry.
“Lance, what’s wrong?” she asked.
“Gabrielle, is Westley at home? Did he do anything to you?” Lance asked, his tone was urgent and full of concern.
Gabrielle smiled slightly hearing his tone. She felt both sorrowful and thankful that there was someone worrying about her.
“Lance, Westley hasn’t come back home yet, but he is not as terrible as you think. You can be assured that he won’t do anything
to me.”
In fact, these words were solely for Lance not to worry about her. After all, she was the only person who knew Westley well and
how terrible he could be.
“Really? He won’t do anything to you?” Lance asked, a hint of doubt was evident in his voice. He found it hard to believe
Gabrielle’s words since judging from Westley’s words on the phone, the man was really angry and Lance knew that he wouldn’t
let Gabrielle get away easily.
After all, he brutally abused the two bodyguards. He quickly snatched the electric baton from one of them and severely knocked
out both of them with
it.
As for their failure, the bodyguards might have
underestimated Lance thinking a rich person like him wouldn’t have any skills compared to the sturdy ones like them. However,
they were wrong as they got defeated. They must have gotten the lesson by now that the more gentle and harmless one looked,
the more skillful he could be.
Lance cleverly used this psychological fact to defeat them and that was how he managed to take the electric baton from the
bodyguard so effortlessly.
“Westley won’t do anything to me. After all, I’m only a woman. No matter how terrible he is, he wouldn’t hurt a woman.” Gabrielle
tried to explain,

comforting herself at the same time.
However, although Westley didn’t beat a woman directly, he had thousands of ways to torture a woman. He used the harshest
words that could stab one’s heart repeatedly and he could also torment her in bed with many methods until she couldn’t endure
anymore.
At the thought of this, Gabrielle’s legs and feet instantly became weak. She thought that Westley really deserved his mighty
figure. He was a domineering man in his clothes, but a beast out of his clothes. The man was no less than a monster if he
decided to give someone a hard time.
” Then, I’m relieved.” Lance immediately sighed with relief, before continuing, “Gabrielle, if he really dares to bully you, just tell
me. I’ll help you teach him a lesson properly.” Lance was being serious; his voice carried a hint of chilling murderous tone as if
Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was tired of everything, She didn’t want to drag innocent people into her problems anymore,
especially Lance, who wanted to protect her at all costs, because she was aware that anyone who offended Westley would have
a bad ending. She was sincerely afraid that Lance would get hurt because of her. “Lance, listen to me. It would be the best if you
don’t interfere in my life anymore.” 1
“Gabrielle, 1...”
“Lance, I know that you are good to me, but it’s a matter between me and Westley. If you get involved too much, it won’t help me
but you will make him angrier instead. It’s already quite troublesome with the Jones family. I don’t want to get the Carter family
involved in this as well, okay?” Gabrielle begged softly.
Lance’s heart softened all of a sudden. He had never been able to refuse any of Gabrielle’s requests. He was also aware of
himself that she was his absolute weakness.
Alright, I promise you that I won’t meddle in the affairs between you two. But Gabrielle, if you take the initiative to tell me, I must
meddle in it to help you. It doesn’t matter if Carter family gets involved, ” Lance said in a stern voice, his tone determined.
She knew that it was the responsibility she couldn’t take if Carter family got involved in her affairs. Despite Lance being the
successor of Carter family. Wendy would never let Carter family and Lance be implicated by Gabrielle in any way. She absolutely
couldn’t afford to offend Carter family in her current state where she had a handful of problems already.

“I know, Lance. Don’t mention the matter of beating bodyguards today, and don’t provoke Westley,” Gabrielle couldn’t help
reminding him. She knew
that it was the time to be cautious about everything
Today. when Lance took the initiative to provoke Westley on the phone, it really scared Gabrielle.
“Lance is truly bold. Isn’t he afraid that Westley would kill him?’ Gabrielle thought.
“Don’t worry, Gabrielle. I don’t like to make trouble,
Lance replied in a gentle tone, the soothing voice he deliberately used to comfort Gabrielle.
Gabrielle smiled softly. “Lance, if there is nothing else, I have to hang up.” 2
“Gabrielle, don’t let yourself be wronged.” This was the only thing that Lance could tell her, for now.
If possible, he wanted to take Gabrielle away from Westley. He didn’t deserve her anyway. 1
“Okay, bye.” Gabrielle hung up the phone directly.
Suddenly, she thought of what Macy had told her about the retribution Mr. Smith received. Her curiosity rose and she wanted to
confirm it. So, she opened the campus website and found that there was indeed a notice of penalty for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith had been expelled from the school, and the girls who had been hurt by him were found and asked to cooperate in
testifying together in court. In that case, he would be seriously sentenced. 3
Gabrielle didn’t feel any sympathy for Mr. Smith. He deserved it
If it weren’t for Westley, this old lecher would have gotten away with everything he had done without receiving karma and hurt
more girls.
Somehow, she felt that Westley had really done a good thing this time.
After playing with her phone for a while, she checked the time and found that it was time to go downstairs to clean up the
ingredients and prepare the meal.

When she arrived at the kitchen, Sophie was already waiting for her there. She had put the ingredients she brought back on the
table neatly. When she saw Gabrielle come in, she immediately smiled with delight.
“Gabrielle, you came downstairs so early. In fact, if you are tired, you can have a rest in the room. I’ll clean the ingredients
beforehand and you can cook them.” Seeing Gabrielle’s weary appearance, Sophie knew that she was not in a good mood. She
was worried about her so, she offered her help.
“Sophie, I’m fine. I’ll handle it myself. You can go out and have a rest first.” Gabrielle politely rejected the older woman’s help. In
fact, Gabrielle didn’t like to be disturbed when she was cooking by herself. She found pleasure and tranquility in cooking alone
quietly.
She used to cook for Sloane in her apartment. Sloane knew her very well so, when she cooked, Sloane would obediently leave
the kitchen and leave her alone in her own world.
In that case, she could use her ability fully without any distraction
“Gabrielle, let me work here as a helper for you,” Sophie requested. Taking a look at the food on the table, Sophie found that it
was enough for four
dishes. It was a little bit of a work for Gabrielle to cook alone.
– Sophie, it’s really okay. If you help me here, I wouldn’t be able to do well,” Gabrielle rejected again softly. She didn’t want to
hurt Sophie’s kindness. After all, she had been with her in Half Moon Bay these days and treated her as her daughter
“Okay, I see. Then, Gabrielle, you can stay in the kitchen and do your own work. If you need anything, you can always call me.
I’ll be in the yard to water the flowers and plants.” Knowing what Gabrielle meant, Sophie left the kitchen.
The flower shop had sent the flowers they ordered this morning, and the workers were asked to help them plant the flowers. So,
it mnade Sophie feel much more relaxed since she didn’t have to plant the flower seeds by herself, which saved a lot of time and
trouble.
After Sophie went out, Gabrielle began to wash Vegetables alone in the kitchen.
She was not familiar with the kitchen, especially in cutting vegetables with a knife
Sure enough, while cutting them, she accidentally scraped her hand. It was not a big cut, but a few blood beads came out
immediately. Gabrielle rushed over, and pulled a few pieces of tissue to wipe it. After she pressed it for a while, it stopped

bleeding.
Gabrielle looked at the wound and made sure it was not bleeding anymore. Then, she took off the tissue and continued to chop
vegetables.
Despite being careful again and again, she still got
two or three wounds. Yet, she didn’t bother to stop at all and at the last attempt, she cut her little finger a bit seriously. Blood
flowed and the knife fell to the ground with a clang. 13
