"What is this?" Old Man Quigly exploded. "What the hell is this?"
"Sir…. They just exposed Miss Lyle's connection to the gang."
"But… that's not true. I am not a member… what are these photos?" Lyle immediately panicked. "That Gabrielle… did she do this?" she couldn't help but mumble. Right now, she couldn't understand what was happening. How could it be possible that the bumpkin Gabrielle, who is in love with her brother… wait… that must be it!"
"Grandfather… I know why she did this." Lyle immediately said. "That woman is jealous."
"What?"
"She wanted to ruin my reputation because… I asked my parents to marry her cousin." Because of Alfons's status, Lyle's father didn't dare to mention him in front of the old man. However, Lyle doesn't care about status. All she wanted to do is prove her love to Alfons. That's right… she can still marry Alfons as long as she asked her grandfather to take care of that woman!
"You are saying that Miss Sutton did this just because she was jealous of you?"
"Sister, didn't you want to teach her a lesson first?"
Lyle scowled at her brother. Everyone in the family knew that her grandfather favored her so much. This has caused her brother to get jealous, too. Right now, they wanted to kick her while she was down. "Brother… unlike you… I am the type of person that would always pay someone back for humiliating me. Always believe that humiliating me is like humiliating grandfather and the whole Quigly family! I just did it because I didn't want to embarrass the family!"
"Ha? Then what's happening now? How come we are all over the news?"
"Enough!" Old Man Quigly scolded. "You — every one of you! Shut up! I will call some prosecutors… we can still do something about it."
"Yes, grandfather."
"And… tell me everything that you know about this… Gabrielle Sutton."
"Yes, grandfather."
....
"Are you not scared?" Cyrus asked Gabi. It was still early In the morning and Gabrielle was already busy reading some documents. Well… for a businesswoman, reading some documents isn't really surprising. What was surprising is the fact that Gabi woke up at four in the morning to exercise, take a bath, read a book, eat her breakfast, have her coffee, read a lot of newspapers, then read another book before reading the documents.
Isn't that a lot?
It wasn't even nine yet and Cyrus already felt exhausted just by watching this woman accomplish all that reading.
Moreover, since this morning, Gabi didn't say anything to her.
She was too engrossed in what she was doing.
"She's weird," Cyrus mumbled. Aden already told her that this woman was so normal it was weird, that she was different from everyone else. But she didn't expect her to be like this…. Boring to the point of being abnormal.
In fact, Aden also assigned Cyrus here to observe Gabi. They wanted to know where she got all of her information, but so far, this woman was not doing anything. She didn't have friends and just chose to stay at home all the time.
She doesn't even go out and socialize! Given her status, Gabi could easily find someone to talk to in the upper echelons. Instead, she chose to read and read and read. To be honest, Cyrus couldn't understand it.
Perhaps Gabi was planning something. Unfortunately, she couldn't read Gabi's mind.
"Scared of what?" For the first time today, Gabi looked at Cyrus.
"You were too silent. I am wondering if you were traumatized or something?" Yesterday, Gabi instructed their people to behead a few of the people that they caught and send their heads to the Quigly family.
And Cyrus knew that few people would be able to say something like that without even blinking.
"Ah… I was just thinking."
"Thinking?"
"Yes."
Cyrus wanted to ask what she was thinking about but chose not to. "The news about Miss Quigly's involvement in Gang was already out. What are you planning to do next?"
"Nothing," Gabi said while reading the documents.
"What does that mean?"
'It means… I am not doing anything."
This woman… "I know what it means. I am just curious about the why."
"Oh… that old man couldn't really touch me so he would direct his anger to the man that he could touch."AKA Alfons. She had attracted enough attention to make the old man want to know more about her, the woman who provoked the whole Quigly Family.
This means that he would surely know that Alfons and Gabi are related and that my relationship with him is currently bad. Meaning, he would try to hurt Alfons instead. And he would do this to try and warn Gabi not to touch his family again. It was like a threat.
Sadly, this threat wouldn't work for someone like Gabi.
Just as Gabi expected, the involvement of Lyle was immediately hidden from the other outlets of the media. Moreover, they never mentioned the Quigly Family anymore.
It was a shameless move.
Really…
Sadly for them, she wasn't done.
Just after the trending died down, another trending appeared. This time, it was about Lyle's father, Soren Quigly, and his open marriage and habit of sleeping around.
This news isn't really surprising to most people, since Soren was a well-known womanizer since he was younger. However, this country had a lot of conservative people who would hate the idea of an 'open marriage.'
This time, though, the news didn't really shake the country. After all, a lot of people didn't know Soren.
While this news didn't have any major effects, it made more and more people curious about the Quigly Family.
[Why is it that in two days, two members of the Quigly family become like this?]
[55555 The Quigly's are bullies!]
[I know Lyle when we were younger. She loved to his her grandfather's connection to bully people.]
[muhahahaha… someone finally called this shameless family out]
[Truth about the Quigly Family click the link www]
[Wow, I just look into Miss Lyle's social media. She is really beautiful though.]
[Lyle? Isn't she Volunteer Sutton's girlfriend? I thought she was a kind woman!]
[Whoa… the woman of Volunteer Sutton? Maybe Volunteer Sutton is unlucky when it comes to relationships!]
Reading at the comments, Gabi smiled. It looked like she was able to achieve her goal this time. The goal was pretty simple. Drag the Quigly reputation. And she knew it would be impossible in one night. However, the power of social media would take care of the rest.
All she wanted was for Alfons to cut ties with Lyle Quigly. Given Alfons' fake persona, he would surely condemn Lyle for being a bully. Then he would stop all contacts and show that they were not close in any way.
After all, Alfons would never let that woman tarnish his kind and generous reputation.
In the end, she won.
People are now tagging Alfons, asking him about his opinions. If Gabi was not wrong, Alfons would probably unfollow Lyle on all social media before this day ends. This means a tantrum from Lyle. This is so entertaining. She was starting to giggle just from thinking about it.
'Huh?' Seeing Gabi smiled and chuckle, Cyrus became even more confused. Did she miss something this time? "I uh… are you alright?" she could only ask. If this woman had problems in the head, then… it would be good to tell Aden about this so he could recommend some facility for her, right?
Gabi ignored Cyrus' question as she was reading the comments from the article. She was really enjoying all these people judging everyone without even knowing the real situation. It was entertaining.
"Miss?"
"Ah, Kasper… did something happen?"
"Miss Aren… wanted to see you."
"Really?"
"Yes, it looked like she couldn't stand it anymore."
"Good. Then release the news to some paparazzi."
"Yes, Miss."
"Oh… what about the Sealey Family?"
"Well…" Kasper looked at Cyrus who stood a few feet away from where Gabi was reading her book.
"It's fine. You can say it here."
"Well… the younger Sealey hasn't seen his wife yet. Since he married her."
"Really?"
"Yes. He is staying in his girlfriend's villa and doesn't even go home. His parents are not doing anything about it."
"Unfortunate, isn't it?" But then again, this is Miss Aren's choice. She wanted to stop living like a maid. So… she became a rich man's wife who doesn't even think of her as a woman. Obviously, Gabi knew that Aren was also looking forward to the divorce settlement.
If Gabi's guess was right, Aren was looking for an opportunity to tell her own husband about her plan. After all, she knew that she was helpless and alone in that place. The wise option would be for her to divorce her husband.
Well… since she wanted this then… why not use her to ruin the Sealey Family?
