Chapter 581
Chapter 581:
Rebecca frowned, still anxious.
Wesley showed no interest in her, and with their engagement still unofficial, she feared he might back out. Desperate and without a better plan, she had resorted to crude tactics to drive Gabriela out of Okburg.
“No more excuses,” Lauren cut in. “Leave these matters to me p>
She was no stranger to dirty work, even murder. Disposing of Gabriela would be trivial.
Rebecca’s face lit up with relief. “Thank you, Mom p>
Leaving the Howards’ house, Gabriela turned to Tyler with a grin. “I scored a hundred million today. I’m splitting it with you p>
Tyler chuckled. “You earned it fair and square. Why share it with me p>
“Because you helped me fight off those thugs and get the truth out of them,” she replied. “You can treat your men to a meal with this money p>
Without waiting for his protest, she transferred fifty million to him, leaving no room for refusal.
When they arrived at Tyler’s place, Aubrey and Tessa crowded around with concern, eager for an update.
Gabriela recounted what had happened after their visit to the Howards.

Aubrey’s eyes widened with envy. “The Howard family is really loaded. They handed over a hundred million just like that p>
The Howard family’s empire of supermarkets spanned the country and beyond, with other lucrative ventures hidden beneath the surface.
Even the richest families paled in comparison.
Gabriela smirked. “Now that I think about it, I went too easy on them. I should have demanded two hundred million p>
Her bold words left Aubrey and the others speechless. Her exposure to wealth made a hundred million seem like pocket change.
Gabriela then headed to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared an extravagant feast for Tyler’s birthday.
Urged on by the women, Tyler closed his eyes to make a wish. Gabriela and the others showered him with gifts, bringing tears to his eyes.
At nearly six-foot-three, the tough-looking man had a surprisingly tender heart.
Tessa raised her glass to toast Tyler, her smile warm as she wished him a happy birthday. Tyler, flustered, quickly reciprocated.
A gruff guy by nature, he rarely remembered his own birthday. Yet this year’s simple celebration felt unforgettable.
After dinner, Tyler drove Gabriela and the others home.
It had been a joyful day for them.
But not everyone shared their happiness.
Word of Gabriela’s clash with the Howard family reached Jasper’s ears.
He was genuinely surprised. “Gabriela is really something p>
It had been years since anyone dared to confront the Howard family so boldly.
Luther looked troubled as he continued, “There’s more bad news, Mr. Howard p>
“Go on,” Jasper urged.
“The Haynes Group hasn’t halted the hotel project,” Luther said quickly. “Gabriela secured a loan recently and got another hundred million from Miss Howard today p>
The financial gap had been bridged.
Jasper’s expression darkened. “So we can’t take back the hotel p>
Luther nodded. “It seems that way p>
Due to the contract Orion and Gabriela had signed, in which he was at fault, the hotel had to be unconditionally gifted to the Haynes Group.
Jasper’s plan to reclaim it after her financial collapse had fallen apart.
Rebecca, who had entered quietly, overheard Luther’s report. Her anxiety surged. “The hotel Jasper sank five hundred million into was just handed to Gabriela? That’s ridiculous p>
Luther shared Jasper’s frustration, but the reality was undeniable.
Gabriela had an uncanny ability to turn the tables, no matter what hardships she faced. Despite being a small-scale entrepreneur, every move Jasper and Rebecca made against her backfired.
Now she not only received a hotel for free, but had also gotten a hundred million from the Howards.
