Chapter 356:
Stewart masked his astonishment behind a playful grin. “What happens if Gabriela’s heart wanders to another man p>
“Impossible!” Myah’s voice rang with unwavering conviction. “Gabriela adores my brother beyond measure — no one else could ever capture her affection p>
Stewart smirked, his eyes gleaming with mischief. “Actually, Gabriela already belongs to Wesley now. She’s over your brother p>
“You’re fabricating lies p>
The mention of Wesley’s name ignited a fierce rage within Myah. Her arm swept across the table in a violent arc, sending the reading lamp crashing to the floor, where it exploded into countless glittering fragments.
The thunderous crash drew Gabriela rushing into the room. She immediately seized Myah’s trembling hand, her eyes scanning for injuries. “What just happened? Did you hurt yourself p>
“I’m perfectly fine, Gabriela.” Myah pressed her palm against the fresh wound, her voice dropping to a whisper. “Mr. Williams never intended for this to happen. Please don’t hold it against him p>
Stewart’s jaw dropped as he finally noticed the crimson drops trailing from Myah’s palm.
“This wasn’t my fault…” He began his protest, but Gabriela’s disapproving frown silenced him before she turned to instruct Delia to retrieve the medical supplies for Myah’s care.

Every person in the room gravitated toward Myah, leaving Stewart completely forgotten.
He stood there, stunned.
A young girl had thoroughly outmaneuvered him. Unbelievable.
Once they had successfully stemmed the flow of blood from Myah’s wound, Gabriela’s gaze settled on Stewart with unmistakable hostility as she observed Myah’s ashen complexion.
Frustration coursed through Stewart’s veins, particularly because Myah’s continued defense of him made clearing his reputation impossible.
Deep into the evening hours, he drove Gabriela back to Rosemont Gardens in contemplative silence. Unable to contain himself any longer, he spoke up. “Myah’s injury had nothing to do with me p>
Gabriela offered a gentle nod. “I understand it was accidental. I harbor no resentment toward you p>
Stewart’s eyes rolled skyward in exasperation.
As Gabriela prepared to exit the vehicle, he quickly stepped out and caught her arm. “Gabriela, you must listen to what I’m saying. Myah’s psychological condition appears unstable. You should consider taking her to see p>
A brilliant beam of light suddenly pierced the darkness around them.
Gabriela turned to discover a familiar vehicle positioned nearby.
That was Wesley’s car.
Gabriela swiftly pulled her hand free from Stewart’s grasp.
Wesley emerged from his vehicle and approached them with measured steps. His movements carried an air of refined grace, yet his expression remained frozen in displeasure, resembling a winter frost that made Gabriela feel uneasy.
Wesley’s attention bypassed Stewart entirely, focusing solely on Gabriela. “Have you been pushing me away because of this man p>
Stewart’s eyebrow arched upward with interest.
Despite the misunderstanding, he found the scenario rather entertaining.
He interjected smoothly, “Mr. Moss, I was merely concerned about Gabriela traveling home unaccompanied, so I offered to drive her back. Please don’t jump to incorrect conclusions p>
His explanation only deepened the shadows across Wesley’s features.
Stewart positioned himself protectively in front of Gabriela. “Mr. Moss, if you have grievances to air, direct them toward me. Leave Gabriela out of this p>
Gabriela remained positioned behind Stewart, maintaining her silence. She understood that Wesley’s refined upbringing would never permit him to cause her physical harm.
Stewart was deliberately provoking the situation, yet she felt no inclination to offer clarifications.
Her only desire now was to sever all connections with the Moss family and ensure Truett remained permanently beyond their reach.
Wesley’s penetrating stare remained fixed on Gabriela as he spoke with controlled composure. “Come here p>
Gabriela abandoned her previous pattern of obedient compliance. She lowered her gaze and replied quietly, “Mr. Moss, exhaustion weighs heavily on me. I need to return home and rest p>
With that, she pivoted and headed toward her villa.
Wesley moved to follow, but Stewart intercepted his path once again.
“Gabriela has demonstrated no romantic interest in your advances. Continuing this futile pursuit seems beneath your dignity p>
Wesley studied Stewart for several tense moments before delivering his warning in an icy tone. “Maintain your distance from her p>
