"Gabriel?" Samuel laughed and said, "Are you genuinely unaware or just pretending? That little b*stard is already dead!
"To put it bluntly, his death is your fault.
"You took him to provoke Joseph, who is not someone to be trifled with. In the end, he got what he asked for."
Samuel's tone was filled with delight when he talked about Gabriel's death.
Stella suddenly felt Gabriel's grip loosen.
Their bodies were attached, but he had stopped moving.
She couldn't deny that Gabriel was different from the other scumbags.
When she mentioned returning the 800 thousand dollars, she could sense a change in his demeanor.
And now, as she listened to Samuel's words, she had mixed feelings once again.
It was true. If it weren't for helping her save her brother, Gabriel wouldn't have been chased by Joseph and nearly lost his life.
This man truly made her torn.
In the living room, Samuel continued, "After his death, the Foster family, Leon from the Apex Bank, and Gabriel's underling, Thomas, all faced grave consequences.
"My father set up a simple trap, and that old fool, Sophia, fell for it. Now, if the Foster family can't raise 500 million dollars, they will go broke.
"And her daughters... heh heh!
"Leon is a tough nut to crack. However, due to the assembly's interference, the hotel project has been temporarily shelved.
"The most ridiculous one is Thomas. I don't know where he got the money from, but he bought the bankrupt Gift Club. He's been busy recruiting and planning to reopen.
"But I doubt they'll be able to open for business.
"Originally, I wanted the Dragon-slaying Association to take action, destroy Thomas, and seize the property.
"But Joseph had the idiots from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall make a move. Tonight, they will go and wreck Thomas's yet-to-be-opened establishment.
"Wrecking the place is a minor matter. Thomas will probably end up dead.
"In short, anyone associated with Gabriel won't have a happy ending."
Gabriel released his grip and slowly retrieved his hand from Stella's waist.
He glanced at the bite mark and bloodstain on his wrist, then smiled devilishly.
Samuel was practically giving him insider information.
Things were getting interesting, and it was far different from his previous expectations.
Now it was time to go out and grade the Foster family and Thomas.
Then he could unleash his fury on the Davis family.
However, there seemed to be something missing.
He needed something to deliver a fatal blow.
Just then, Stella turned around, narrowing her eyes and whispering to him, "Gabriel, I want to make a deal with you! Do you really think you can take down the Davis family?"
Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts and smiled.
Stella's resolute demeanor was something he had never seen before.
It looked like she was about to bloom, and maybe what would bloom was a fatal rose that could destroy the Davis family.
With that in mind, he nodded slightly.
But it was enough to put Stella's mind at ease.
She turned and shouted toward the door, "One million dollars is fine. I'll sell the restaurant to you. We'll meet next Saturday at my restaurant and sign the contract face-to-face."
In the living room, Samuel laughed heartily, took a sip of water, and got up.
"Okay, I'll give you a few more days. See you next Saturday."
Having achieved his goal, he didn't linger but left Stella's room.
As soon as she heard the door close, Stella opened the bedroom door.
She looked around and went to the front door to look through the peephole.
Samuel was seen leaving, and she cautiously locked the door.
When she turned back, Gabriel was already sitting in the living room. His eyes flickered as he asked, "How do you want to work with me?"
Stella looked away, walking to his side and suddenly getting hysterical. "I hate the Davis family. They are filthy. I want them to be destroyed, and I want to avenge the Turner family."
When the stunner lost her temper, she looked terrifying with fierce eyes.
Gabriel crossed his legs, facing Stella's outburst with composure.
The pent-up hatred buried deep within this woman was finally released.
"The Davis family betrayed us, using despicable means to plot against my family and causing it to fall apart!
"My grandfather died after the disaster, and my uncles were killed by gangsters. My aunts and their children were killed in mysterious car accidents.
"My father was thrown into prison, and my brother and sister were threatened.
"All of it was done by the Davis family!
"They threatened me with their lives, asking me to marry Oliver.
"To protect them, I had to agree.
"I hate them. All these years, I've been thinking about revenge.
"If you can help me destroy the Davis family, I will be all yours!"
Her expression went from fierceness to pain, and finally to dismay.
When she spoke the last sentence, she seemed to have made a momentous decision.
Her chastity served as her final defense for survival, but she found herself unable to uphold it any longer.
This was the moment Gabriel had been waiting for.
He stood up, his lips curling slightly. "Okay, it's settled then. I'm a man of principle and not interested in your body, but I can't stand the Davis family's domineering ways. Of course, if you insist on offering yourself to me, I won't refuse. After all, there's no harm in accepting a reward for my efforts."
His words were half-true and half-false.
He had always intended to deal with the Davis family, and reaping the beauty was just a side task.
"I have crucial evidence to prove the Davis family has plotted against the Turner family. I also know of a major scandal within the Davis family. These will be enough to deliver a fatal blow to them," Stella added.
She scoffed at Gabriel's bold statement.
She was nearly thirty. Even if she couldn't find her true love, that didn't mean she would be a virgin all her life.
Before this, she simply didn't want to let this beast take advantage of her for nothing.
Now that he could destroy the Davis family, she was willing to offer herself to him.
Gabriel smirked, as it was just as he had expected.
Stella was the key to bringing down the Davis family.
He was determined to strike a fatal blow, and the missing lethal weapon was in Stella's hands.
"But!" Stella suddenly changed her tone. "These things are too crucial. Once I reveal them, there is no turning back. If the Davis family doesn't fall, my years of endurance will be in vain.
"So, if you want to get these things from me, you must prove that you truly have the power to overthrow the Davis family."
"How should I do it?" Gabriel shrugged and retorted, "Isn't everything I did to the Davis family enough to prove my strength?"
He broke James's legs and beat up Samuel.
And he scolded Michael in front of the congressman.
Weren't these feats enough to prove his strength?
However, Stella said, "But you fell into Joseph's trap this time. Although Joseph is not from the Davis family, you can see how close they are. Maybe the person who commanded Joseph to kill you is from the Davis family."
Gabriel was speechless, but her words made sense. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, why did it sound like she was trying to sow discord?
Stella extended her right hand and raised three of her fingers. "I want you to do three things to prove your abilities."
"What are they?" Gabriel asked.
Stella slowly spoke, "The first thing is about what we just heard. The Foster family, Leon, and your underling, Thomas, have been going through a rough time. I want you to help the Foster family overcome their economic crisis, assist Leon in breaking free from the constraints of the assembly, support Thomas in resisting Joseph, and protect my restaurant."
Each task was far from simple.
The Foster family needed 500 million dollars. Leon required the intervention of powerful figures from the assembly, and Thomas had to confront Joseph once again.
Gabriel licked his lips and said excitedly, "What you just mentioned is exactly what I was planning to do."
"Second, my sister disappeared three years ago. I'm certain that her disappearance is related to the Davis family. I want you to find my sister, dead or alive!" Stella demanded.
Gabriel nodded.
Finding a person shouldn't be too difficult.
"Third, ever since my father was imprisoned, the Davis family has hindered me. I've only seen him once. I hope you can take me to see him again," Stella stated her last request.
