Ditch My Ex (Gabrielle and Timothy) novel Chapter 29

Zachary cut her off, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

“As for the rest, there was no need to explain to anyone.”

“Whoever dared to ask more, I would let him know the consequences.”

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and that was a warning to anyone who might hurt her.

Gabrielle saw the determined look in his eyes, and finally felt relieved.

Yeah, with him around, what did she have to be afraid of?

She just needed to stay by his side, feeling safe and loved by him.

The weekend came quickly.

In the evening, guests arrived one after another.

The road outside the villa was packed with nothing but top luxury cars.

Not many people came, maybe twenty or thirty, but every single one of them looked impressive, obviously important.

Zachary held Gabrielle’s hand and stood at the villa door to greet them.

Gabrielle wore a light purple dress that Zachary picked out himself.

The dress had a simple and elegant design, and it perfectly showed off her slim figure.

She wore that Galaxy pink diamond necklace around her neck, which made her skin look fairer than snow and gave her an elegant, unique

vibe.

She put on a little makeup, had a polite smile on her face, and stood next to Zachary like a perfect couple.

“Zachary, this is your wife, right? She’s really pretty!”

A man in a well–tailored suit, looking gentle and refined, walked over first.

He was one of Zachary’s childhood friends, the heir to the Browning Group, Roger Browning.

“Roger, just call me Irene.”

Zachary smiled and introduced, while tightening his grip on Gabrielle’s hand.

Gabrielle’s new name was Irene Gabrias. It sounded like her real name and also meant peace and safety.

“Ms. Gabrias, hello, this is Roger.”

Roger reached out to Gabrielle, his manner gentle and polite.

“Hello, Mr. Browning.”

Gabrielle also shook hands with him generously.

Next, Zachary introduced Gabrielle to a few other close friends.

There was an entertainment tycoon who controlled the lifeblood of Northmere’s entertainment, and there was a financial giant who stirred up trouble in the international market.

There were also a few well–connected, low–key kids from powerful families.

These people, every time they stomped their feet, they could shake a whole area.

They looked at Gabrielle with curiosity and scrutiny, but mostly with respect because they knew Zachary.

Zachary brought this woman to them so seriously, and the meaning was obvious.

This woman named Irene was nothing like those other girls around him.

She was the one Zachary cared about most.

After everyone finished greeting each other, they moved to the garden.

The garden was brightly lit, and the music was soft.

Delicate dishes and fine wine filled the long table.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Zachary always stayed right by Gabrielle’s side.

He carefully got food for her and blocked unnecessary socializing.

He showed everyone how much he cared about and loved Gabrielle with his actions.

Gabrielle also gradually relaxed and chatted a bit with a few ladies who looked friendly.

Even though their backgrounds were worlds apart, her good manners helped her handle things well, neither overbearing nor servile.

Just when everyone was getting along, an untimely voice broke the mood.

“Zachary, is this the Ms. Gabrias you’ve been so into lately?”

A woman in a tight red dress, with perfect makeup but an assessing and proud look in her eyes, walked over.

She was Stella Griffith, the daughter of the Griffith family.

The Griffith family was one of the old money families in Craighaven, and they also had some connections with the Monroe family.

Stella had liked Zachary since she was little and always thought of herself as Zachary’s fiancee.

Even though Zachary never admitted it.
