Gisele swiftly turned toward the source of the volce. As she saw the approaching person, her expression immediately darkened.
Gordon’s expression also shifted slightly. While he had intended to use Gisele’s infidelity as leverage against her, the prospect of others finding out was a completely different matter.
Worried about the situation escalating further, Gisele addressed the young man, “Thank you, but you can let him go. He’s my brother…”
“Even if he’s your brother, he shouldn’t be treating you like this,” the man asserted firmly before turning to face her with a cheerful smile. “You must be Gisele, right? I’m Leonard Anderson, Mavis‘ classmate, and your senior. Feel free to call me Leo.”
“Wait, what?” Gisele exclaimed, her surprise evident as she looked up at Leonard’s towering figure.
At nearly six foot two inches tall, he loomed over her, but his youthful face contrasted with his imposing height, giving him a boyish appearance.
But what surprised her even more was Leonard referring to himself as her senior.
Wasn’t that term reserved for fellow apprentices of the same master?
With a wink, Leonard offered her a sweet smile and said, “I’ve got a feeling you’ll end up becoming one of Professor Lyons‘ students. You seem pretty talented and hardworking.”
“Th–thank you,” Gisele stammered, her confidence bolstered by his words.
Suddenly, the excited woman rushed over, panting as she looked at Gisele.
Glancing up at Leonard, who stood at six foot two inches, she couldn’t resist asking you… the person
Gisele had an affair with?”
“Are
Without a moment’s hesitation, the woman quickly grabbed her phone and began snapping. pictures.
While Leonard certainly radiated the youthful charm she found attractive, there was something oddly boyish about his appearance.
“Aunt Zayla, he’s actually a student at Hearthfield Medical University,” Gisele explained, feeling somewhat exasperated.
Encountering Zayla in this exclusive restaurant caught Gisele off guard. Judging by her
appearance, she had likely just finished shopping nearby and was now ready to dine here.
Zayla sneered disdainfully, remarking, “Stop pretending. The way you two are standing so close, even a blind person can tell something is going on between you!”
“No, no, Aunt Zayla, it’s not like that at all. She’s here with me. Besides, how could my sister ever do anything to upset Mr. Jefferson?” Gordon, who was smug just moments ago, now cowered like a lapdog, his demeanor submissive.
With her arms crossed, Zayla held her phone and retorted haughtily, “Who do you think you’re fooling? I always sensed that something was off about you, Gisele. Turns out you’ve got a side piece!”
“Aunt Zayla, what exactly do you want?” Gisele asked directly.
Meanwhile, Gordon reached out to grab Gisele’s hand, intending to force her to kneel and beg for mercy.
However, before his hand could make contact, Leonard stepped in, firmly stating, “Let’s keep things civil. There’s no need to lay your hands on her.”
“Hey! What’s your issue with me touching my sister? It’s none of your concern!” Gordon exclaimed, anger evident in his expression.
Nonetheless, Leonard didn’t back down at all, standing quietly in place.
Amidst this tense exchange, Zayla suddenly had an idea. Waving her hand, she called out, Gisele, come here. If you promise me one thing, I won’t tell Don about your affair.”
Gisele glanced warily at Zayla, her body tense and unmoving.
“Gisele! Why are you just standing there? Go over there right now!” Gordon wished he could obey Zayla’s command himself.
Gisele’s lips tightened as she boldly stepped out from behind Leonard, positioning herself squarely in front of Zayla. She steadied herself, ready to face whatever was about to unfold..
Approaching Zayla, Gisele braced for a potential slap. Yet, to her surprise, Zayla leaned in,. whispering a few words into her ear.
Finally, Zayla cautioned, “As long as you take care of what I just mentioned, I will delete the photos I took earlier!”
“But if Grandpa Declan finds out…” Gisele spoke up as she furrowed her brows in concern.
Zayla waved her phone in Gisele’s face, her finger hovering over Dorian’s number as she threatened, “You better think carefully. Cheating on Don is no trivial matter! Or else, I’ll call him right this instant!”
As Zayla spoke, she pressed the dial button, shooting a provocative look at Gisele.
Despite the tension in the air, Gisele couldn’t help but find the situation somewhat amusing.
Zayla’s confident stance in confronting Dorian suggested she wasn’t naive; it seemed she was well aware that their relationship had come to an end.
“Gisele, what are you still standing there for?” Gordon’s anger flared up.
At that moment, Dorian’s cold and ruthless voice echoed through the phone, “Aunt Zayla.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
