Chapter 11 Helena Collins

It would have been fine if Wesley hadn’t mentioned Nellie because Miley’s blood pressure surged at the mere mention of her name.

“Don’t mention her name in front of me again. After all, did she treat the Morris with respect? No! Besides, Gabrielle is your wife and I will only accept her as my granddaughter-in-law,” Miley said firmly.

“Grandma, please don’t be so angry. It’s okay that we don’t visit my parents today; besides, they aren’t expecting any special treatment anyway.” Gabrielle tried to placate Miley because she didn’t want them to have an argument because of her. More importantly, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to

Miley

“Gabrielle, you’re a good girl. Go back to your room and change into something nice. I need to have a few words with Westley. Don’t worry, I have the right to make a decision in this house. I won’t let anyone bully you,” Miley said in a soft voice. 18

Gabrielle felt upset, mainly because she didn’t want Miley to fight her battles for her as it would only make Westley angrier.

Just as she had expected, Westley squinted

down her spine. “Gabrielle, didn’t you hear what I said?” Miley pretended to be angry when she saw that Gabrielle still hadn’t moved from her place.

“Grandma, I’m going upstairs now.” Gabrielle didn’t say anything more and went upstairs obediently. glancing at Westley as she left.

His eyes were cold, hard, and dark gazing out at her. 3

They carried clear implications of warning to

Gabrielle

“Westley, I am going to pretend as though I didn’t hear what you had just said. Let’s start over. It’s already the third day after Gabrielle was married into the Morris. I want you to go to her parents’ home with her. I’ve already taken care of the gifts you need to bring there with you. Don’t bring disgrace to our family. Do you hear me?” Miley’s words were delivered with great seriousness.

“Grandma, as I have said before, I am not going to visit the Jones with Gabrielle. I will only go to the Collins if I have any in-laws to visit,” said Westley with an arrogant look on his face.

“Have you lost your mind? Nellie is the one

who abandoned you before the wedding. You may not feel embarrassed, but the Morris Cannot afford to be humiliated like that. The Collins has disrespect our entire family. Why do you still insist on siding with Nellie? 1 know that the Morris owes a lot to the Collins, but you have done enough to repay them in all these years. It’s time to move on. You shouldn’t have…”

“Grandma, I can‘t possibly compensate them enough for what happened to Helena in this lifetime.” Westley interrupted Miley impatiently.

“Helena‘s death was an accident.” Miley couldn‘t bear to see Westley spend the rest of his life in the shadow of Helena Collins’

death.

“Helena died because of me!” Westley gritted his teeth to stop himself from raising his voice. The fire in his eyes showed just how much pain he was in due to what had happened to Helena.

Suddenly, Miley fell silent, struggling to find the words to respond with.

“Even if Helena died because of you, it was an accident. The Collins has used her death to make many ridiculous requests to you over the years and you’ve always complied without question. You even agreed to marry Nellie, but she’s the one who broke the

agreement now, Why are you still defending her and the Collins?” Miley was furious.

Just talking about the Collins left a bad taste in Miley’s mouth. Ever since Helena died, the Collins had been taking advantage of Wesley like blood-sucking leeches, asking for literally anything of him.

As such, Miley had lost all her respect for Nellie and her family. i

In fact, Miley was the happiest to hear that Nellie had run away from the wedding and the moment she laid eyes on Gabrielle, who happened to be a temporary substitute found by Westley, Miley grew fond of her almost immediately.

“Grandma, I don’t want to talk about this anymore as I don’t want you to get so worked up.” Westley took a deep breath as he wanted to end the discussion then and there.

“If you don’t want me to be angry, go back to Jones today. It has to be today.” Miley softened her tone as well.

“Grandma, I have an important meeting to attend to. I don’t have time for this.” Needless to say, Westley had no intentions of going to visit the Jones with Gabrielle.

“Stop right there!” Miley commanded as soon as she realized what his intentions were.

Rylan! Call the board of directors on my behalf. Tell them to cancel all of Westley’s meetings today. Then call Wilson and ask him to get back here in two days and take over Westley’s position in the company for a month!” Miley’s blunt words proved effective,

Westley clenched his fists and turned around to face Miley immediately. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Grandma, My brother has enough problems to deal with right now. There’s no need to bother him. I promise that I will take Gabrielle to see her parents and family today, okay?” said Westley reluctantly.

Miley finally settled down, satisfied to hear those words from her grandson. ‘An aged ginger is more pungent, ‘she thought to herself.

“Why didn’t you just agree with me earlier? I want you to look happy when you visit them. I’ll have someone bring the gifts to your car.” Miley immediately called Neil over and asked him to have someone take the gifts she had prepared to Westley’s car.

“Westley, I want you to treat Gabrielle with the same respect a decent man would give his wife. Treat her well. She is not your enemy,” Miley reminded Westley.

They may not have been enemies, but the

relationship they had was far won.

Since Bryce could take away Nellie, it was not wrong for him to take her to suffer for Bryce’s crime.

The Jones was indeed shameless and

After getting changed, Gabrielle didn’t dare to go downstairs for a long time, fearing that she would get caught between Miley and Westley’s argument.

Fortunately, silence permeated the atmosphere and soon enough there was even a strange sense of harmony in the living

room.

“Grandma, I’m ready!” Gabrielle walked to Miley obediently.

“My, my, Gabrielle, you look so beautiful. Westley is going to take you to see your family.” Miley looked at Gabrielle with satisfaction

Gabrielle looked absolutely beautiful in a blue dress which suited her fair skin very well.

“I’ve already told the Jones that you two will be visiting them today. Westley, take care of Gabrielle.” Miley cast a warning glance at Westley

Westley want his wit’s end with his grandmother. Deep down, he wished he could just throw Gabrielle out of the car Oni the way to the Jones’ residence, so he could

et back to his work at the company. However, Miley seemed to have crushed all of his plans

“Let’s 20. Gabrielle,” said Westley coldly, as he turned around and walked out of the door.

“Gabrielle, Westley can appear to be harsh sometimes, but his heart is in the right place. He may seem unwavering right now, but soon enough, his heart will soften to you. As a child, whenever he would come across stray dogs or cats, he would buy thein food and bring them to the shelter. Just be patient. with him. I believe he’ll warm up to you in no time.” . Miley had a lot of confidence in Gabrielle.

Did she really expect Gabrielle to be the one to soften Westley’s hardened heart?

Gabrielle, however, knew herself well enough to know that she couldn’t do it.

“Well, you’d better go now. Don’t make Westley wait too long. You should be happy since you two are finally going to visit your parents together today.” Miley’s words comforted Gabrielle.
