Ditch My Ex (Gabrielle and Timothy) novel Chapter 43

Either they used some shady way to get to the top.

But Gabrielle looked so “plain,” she was obviously not one of the former.

Zachary’s eyes went cold in an instant.

He hadn’t said anything yet, but Gabrielle gently put her hand on his.

She looked up, met Nathaly’s unfriendly gaze, and gave a slight smile.

“Mrs. Wyatt laughed and said, I wasn’t from any famous family.”

Her voice was clear and calm, without any sign of panic.

“I was just a lucky woman, who met someone willing to cherish me.”

“Compared to a powerful family background, I thought it was more important for two people to truly love each other and look out for each other.”

“What do you think?”

Her words were calm and confident, and she didn’t deny her “ordinariness.”

It also quietly pointed out that feelings were more important than family background.

At the same time, she also sharply reminded the other person that she was the one protected by Zachary.

Nathaly didn’t expect Gabrielle to answer like that and was at a loss for

words.

She had a whole bunch of things ready to say to mock Gabrielle for her low background, saying she wasn’t good enough for Zachary

But the other side just brushed it off with hardly any effort.

Roger next to him nodded to himself, thinking, The way my younger brother and sister handled this was really impressive.

He stood up for himself and didn’t make Zachary lose face.

Zachary looked at Gabrielle’s calm and confident manner, and there was a flash of admiration and pride in his eyes.

His woman really wasn’t a pushover.

Nathaly’s expression changed a few times, not willing to give up just like that.

The son behind her, the man who had been beaten, couldn’t help but cut in.

“Hmph, sounds nice, but who knows if it really is…”

He didn’t finish his sentence when he was stopped by Zachary’s cold

stare.

“Looks like last time’s lesson wasn’t deep enough.”

Zachary’s voice wasn’t loud, but it had a chilling edge.

The man remembered what Zachary did last time, got scared, shut up- right away, and shrank back.

Nathaly saw her son looking so useless, and she felt both angry and

anxious.

But she also knew, Zachary was really not someone she could mess with.

Going head–to–head would only make the Wyatt family completely finished.

She forced down her anger and managed a stiff smile.

“Mrs. Monroe was really a good talker, I was being rude.”

“Excuse me.

After she finished talking, she grabbed her son and turned to leave, looking embarrassed.

Looking at their embarrassed backs, Roger laughed quietly.

“Asked for it.”

Zachary held Gabrielle’s waist tighter and lowered his head to say in

her ear.

“Did a great job, my Mrs. Monroe.”

There was open admiration in his tone.

Gabrielle’s heart felt warm because of his affirmation.

She knew she was growing bit by bit and getting stronger.

Strong enough to stand by his side, not always hide behind him.

The dinner went on, with that little incident just now.

No one else dared to come up and pick a fight.

All the looks at Gabrielle had a bit of awe in them.

The auction started, and Zachary sat with Gabrielle in the front row.

The auction items were rare treasures donated by celebrities from all walks of life, and all the money raised went to charity.

The host cracked jokes, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Zachary didn’t make any bids on the previous lots.

Until a final highlight item was brought out.

That was an extremely rare necklace made of emeralds.

The main stone was huge, had a rich color, and was super clear. It was

a rare treasure.

The starting price was as high as five million dollars.
