Chapter 291
Chapter 291:
Josh poured his heart into the plea, desperate to guide Marie toward redemption.
The live camera continued rolling, broadcasting his confession to thousands of viewers.
Wesley watched the livestream, his expression hardening into steel.
Gabriela had endured countless wounds, yet her smile never faltered. Even when Marie orchestrated her twisted suicide charade to destroy her reputation, Gabriela stayed composed. She refused to lean on anyone—including him.
After escaping the hospital’s suffocating atmosphere, Gabriela made her way to Wesley’s parked car.
He pocketed his phone and moved toward her.
Something in his expression made Gabriela frown, and she retreated a step. Had Wesley forgotten her rejection so quickly? Would he dare confess again with witnesses surrounding them?
Her muscles coiled, ready to flee, but Wesley merely lifted his hand and brushed her hair with unexpected gentleness.
“Hungry? Let me buy you dinner p>
Relief flooded through her. “That’s unnecessary. A feast is waiting for me at home p>
She had deliberately transferred to the sales department to put distance between herself and Wesley, yet the negotiations with Alphacom Electronics had brought her back to him. Now, she had to pretend to have forgotten his love.

Her confession to interact with him professionally.
Now that the deal was secured and Marie’s plot had crumbled to dust, she would vanish from his orbit entirely.
Before Wesley could utter another word, she slipped into Tyler’s waiting car like smoke escaping through fingers.
Gabriela assumed Wesley’s pride would prevent any pursuit.
However, she had gravely underestimated Loretta’s and Miriam’s determination.
Upon entering her home, she discovered both women occupying her living room sofa.
“Gabriela, you’ve finally returned.” Loretta launched herself upward the moment Gabriela appeared, tears pooling in her eyes as she captured Gabriela’s hands in a desperate grip. “Why did you hide your suffering from us p>
Miriam dabbed at her eyes and sighed. “Gabriela, how about you come back to Moss Manor with us? It’s alright if you choose not to marry Mr. Moss. Mrs. Larson and I care for you deeply, and we will make it our mission to ensure no one ever torments you again p>
Gabriela reassured them, “This was merely a small complication, and it’s been resolved completely p>
Loretta’s gaze swept the space behind Gabriela, noting Wesley’s absence, and her anger ignited. “Where is Wesley? I specifically ordered him to protect you. When such a catastrophic situation befalls his employee, he vanishes entirely. This is absolutely unacceptable p>
She reached for her phone to unleash her fury upon him.
Gabriela lunged forward to intercept her. “Mr. Moss escorted me to the hospital personally, but his heart condition is fragile, and I couldn’t bear to exhaust him further. Mrs. Larson, he requires rest above all else—please spare him your anger p>
Previously, Loretta had orchestrated elaborate schemes to bring her and Wesley together. If Loretta discovered Wesley’s love confession to her, Gabriela shuddered at the thought of what stunt the old woman might pull next.
