Chapter 144 What Had She Done

One was the CEO of Morris Group, and the other was the CEO of Robinson Group. The two men were known for their arrogance and cold demeanor, which made people feel as though they were unapproachable.

But here they were, competing against each other by climbing up a mountain Westley even had a lady’s backpack on him.

He looked rather cute.

“They are acting so childishly. What kind of person is Mr. Robinson like?” Gabrielle asked Mia curiously. IL

Mia smiled and responded mysteriously. “My brother is always deemed as superior to everyone else in public, but when he’s around me, he’s really

childish.”

Gabrielle knew what Mia meant. Micheal was distant and cold outside but gentle and kind at home. After all, everyone

had different sides to them depending on where they were or whom they were with

“It seems to me that Mr. Robinson is also very kind.” Gabrielle said seriously.

“Of course he is. If you have a good friend, please do introduce her to my brother. He is a great man and he deserves a great partner!” u

“Grandma!”

“Grandma Miley.”

A man and woman’s voice abruptly interrupted their conversation,

They turned around and saw two people climbing up the steps towards them.

It was Holly and Austin.

Gabrielle knew them both, but she was surprised on seeing them together.

Although Austin and Holly knew each other, they weren’t that close to be climbing a mountain together.

How strange…

So Gabrielle could not help feeling curious because she thought that it was unlikely for them to climb the mountain together

“Grandma Miley, Gabrielle, how come you’re here?” Austin asked them curiously. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I wanted to climb the mountain in order to exercise so I asked Gabrielle to accompany me. What a coincidence to meet you here!” Miley said to Austin and then turned to Holly.

Technically she was talking to Austin, but her speech was actually directed towards Holly, because Miley knew her. Holly was Helena’s cousin, and she used to visit the Morris family often. Miley remembered Holly as an ingratiating person from those days, so it seemed she was popular amongst most people. z

“Grandma Miley, I feel very glad that I could climb the mountain with you today.. “Holly said seriously. 3

Miley smiled. “Yes, indeed, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. I’m really happy to have bumped into you.”

Miley knew Holly very well. She was a smart and shrewd girl; opposite of Gabrielle, who was an honest and innocent girl herself.

Hence, Miley had a clearer idea regarding the kind of person better matched for Westley..

“Me too. If you don’t mind, I’m happy to accompany you to climb the mountain today. You always look so young and energetic.” Holly looked at Miley and smiled.

“And you are still so beautiful and talkative,” Miley said in her kind and gentle tone.

“I’m flattered. Thank you.”

Holly wanted to stay closer to Miley, but Miley didn’t feel the same way.

“By the way, Holly, this is Westley’s wife, Gabrielle.” Miley introduced Gabrielle to Holly.

She was calm and measured in her introduction as she knew that Holly had feelings for Westley. u

When Holly would come to visit her with Helena, she always held back with her behavior and her emotions, but after Helena’s death, Miley saw Holly’s true colors.

“Westley’s wife?” When Holly heard Miley say “wife”, her face dropped. She felt her heart beating fast, and was unsure how to feel.

“I didn’t know Westley was married. Nice to meet you, Gabrielle. I’m Holly, and I’m Westley’s… Good friend.” Holly put on a

generous show of introducing herself.

She emphasized being a “good friend” on purpose, as if no one else knew that. Gabrielle Siniled in return,

“Nice to meet you, Miss Edwards. Yes, I’m Westley’s wife,” said Gabrielle softly with a slight smile on her face.

Holly smiled at her, but inside she was raging

She was shocked at how well Gabrielle could coax Miley into liking her. From the way Miley introduced Gabrielle, it seemed she was really fond of her

granddaughter-in-law.

“Nice to meet you, Gabrielle. I just got back to Antawood. I think we should meet up and get to know each other in the future, don’t you?” Holly put on a warm and friendly demeanor,

Since it seemed that everyone was pretending to act in a certain way. Gabrielle thought she should jump on the bandwagon and do her part, too.

“Well, if I have spare time, I would definitely love that, Miss Edwards.” Gabrielle smiled,

It wasn’t like they were really going to go through with it and be friends, anyway.

“That’s good. Austin didn’t plan to go out, but I’ve been too frustrated at home recently and wanted a change of scene in the outdoors. I couldn’t find anyone to accompany me at the last minute, so I asked Austin if he’d like to join me. Do you know him?” Holly asked Gabrielle deliberately.

“Of course Gabrielle knows him. She is his sister-in-law,” Miley said calmly.

“Yes, of course. Being his sister-in-law she would know Austin…” Holly echoed Miley’s words.

“Well, it’s getting late. Let’s continue with our climb.” Miley encouraged hastily.

She had initially only wanted to go with Gabrielle and Westley, but it ended up being a massive party- not only were the Robinson siblings here, but also Holly and her friend, Austin,

Miley felt uncomfortable. She was hoping just to be with Miley only. 5

“Grandma, let me accompany you.” Holly caught up next to Miley, fawning over

her.

“No, thank you. I would like to climb on my own; you feel free to climb on your own, too.” Miley didn’t need, not want her help and made it clear to her.

Holly didn’t push the subject after it was clear that Miley outwardly rejected her. It was obvious that Miley didn’t like her too much, and they all noticed it.

If Holly wanted to marry Westley, she had to do it calmly and gradually. Since Miley already had ill feelings towards Holly, she had to be careful in how she was going to proceed. She thought the best way to go ahead was by inconspicuously inviting herself over and in time, making Miley have a better impression of her

But now that Miley openly announced and acknowledged Gabrielle and Westley’s relationship in public, did she still stand a chance?

Why did Miley like Gabrielle so much, anyway?

She mentioned that Westley was here, too-did the three of them come together?

Did that mean that Westley had accepted that Gabrielle was his wife now?

The more Holly thought about it, the more questions she had and the more

uncomfortable she felt.

“Grandma, please, I’d like to be with you, * Holly said hopefully.
