Chapter 8 Rely on the Acting Skill

Gabrielle remained silent.

"Lady Joyce, it's all my fault." Ross walked towards her suddenly, raised his hand, and slapped himself twice on the cheek. "I beg you to forgive me."

Gabrielle squinted slightly. Ross was a ruthless man.

"Lady Joyce." Mrs. Florence also walked over and directly knelt down, "It's my fault. I apologize to you." While saying these words, she made kowtows to Gabrielle with bangs.

Gabrielle screamed in fear, directly hid behind Jacob, who was next to her, and shed more tears. "I don't want to stay here. I want to go back to the village... According to Edith, if the senior makes kowtows to the junior, the junior will be punished by God and die young. I want to go back...Leon..."

Feeling stiff in his body, Jacob didn't dare to move.

"All right." Faith stared at Gabrielle. All of a sudden, she yelled at Ross and Mrs. Florence, "Get up. It's not decent."

Mrs. Florence stood up quickly.

"Joyce, you feel wronged today. Don't worry. It won't happen again." Faith walked to Gabrielle and pulled her out from behind Jacob. "Do me a favor. Forgive them. Otherwise, how sad Yves will feel!"

"Right, Joyce." Lora also walked to her, "Don't be angry."

"Well..." Gabrielle raised her eyes, "Nobody can touch my things from now on."

"We won't touch." Faith shook her head.

"Thank you, Faith." Gabrielle softened her expression, "Leon left this jade cigarette holder to me. He said that it was from the imperial palace of the Qing dynasty. It's priceless. You'll pay for it."

"We'll." Faith smiled and glanced at Yves.

Yves took his wallet out of the pocket and handed her a wad of notes. "Here is two thousand yuan. You..."

Gabrielle raised her eyes abruptly and looked at Yves as if he was a fool. "Am I your biological daughter?"

"You... Of course, you're my biological daughter. How could you say this?"

Without saying anything, Gabrielle held the case and recoiled again behind Jacob. The Johnson Family was a giant stage. Whether she could survive and whether she could use the Johnson Family to achieve her purpose would depend on her acting skill.

Jacob suffered a little breakdown. He wasn't a wall. Why did she always hide behind him? Should he continue to stand here?

His hand hung in the air awkwardly. After a long while, Yves smiled, withdrew his hand, and cast a glance at Faith.

A hint of dislike flashed in Faith's eyes, but she still nodded.

Then Yves took out a bank card. "Here is half a million yuan..."

"Mr. Johnson, this jade cigarette holder came from the imperial palace of the Qing dynasty. Once, someone offered Leon three million five hundred thousand yuan. But he didn't sell it..." Gabrielle raised her eyes. Her voice was soft, but her tone was full of disdain. She glanced at Yves and lowered her head again, "I've seen on TV that Lora's watch costs more than a million yuan."

Half a million yuan? Would he like to get rid of a beggar through this amount of money?

Lora subconsciously hid her wrist behind her back. But she felt bad about it and took her wrist back. After glancing at Yves and Faith, she walked up to her and took off the watch. "If you like it, I'll give it to you as a gift."

"Really?" Gabrielle raised her eyes pleasantly.

Lora bore the pain very reluctantly and put the watch on Gabrielle's wrist. "Have a look. How beautiful it is!"

"Thank you, Lora. How nice you are!" Gabrielle looked excited, raised her wrist, and looked at the watch back and forth.
