Lazily Yours.

"Gabi, why are you doing this?" Alfons asked. This was the first time that he saw such anger in Gabi's eyes. "Why would you force the Sealey family like that?"

"Aren is a maid of the Sutton Family. I am not going to let that man go without having him face the consequences of his own actions."

"Gabi, this has nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Gabi glared at him. "I was doing my job inside my office. But what if I didn't ask Aren to put some new freshener inside the room? What if I was the one who walk inside and put the freshener myself? What do you think would have happened, then?"

"I— "

"That man would have touched me."

"But— "

"And if something happened to me, brother, are you just going to let that man go?"

"Of course not!"

"I thought so."

Alfons furrowed his brows. "But isn't this doing too much for a mere maid?"

"Maid or not… she has rights too."

"You — " Disbelief flashed in Alfons eyes. Who would have thought that Gabi would react like this? "I don't think that is a good idea," he said.

"Why not?"

"Don't you know that the Sealey Family is the rising superstar in the construction industry? The family is doing so well. I am certain that they won't just allow a mere maid to marry into their family." To his surprise, Gabi just smiled at him and said nothing. What is going on here? What is she doing?

"Gabi?" he asked. "Did you hear me?"

"Brother… you don't really know that."

"You— "

"How did you know that they won't let a maid marry into their family?" Especially someone that the young master of the Sealey family rap*d?

"Are you not scared that they would attack you instead?"

"Attack me? Why would they do that? Did I do something wrong?"

"Gabi, how did you become like this? The Gabi that I knew— "

"Wouldn't let anyone powerful bully a mere maid." She interrupted his words. "I would never let anyone bully someone working inside this mansion, brother. That is my way to protect the Sutton family."

"You— "

"No need to worry. I am sure that the Sealey's would make the arrangements as soon as possible."

"What if they… hurt the maid instead?" Alfons asked. Of course, he wanted to know if Gabi have something special that he could use against the Sealey Family. If Gabi had something, he would surely take it away from her and prevent her from doing anything stupid.

However, if she didn't have anything that could protect that maid, then there is no reason for Aren to live anymore.

"Then the Sealey Family will regret it."

"You are going to fight against the Sealey's just because of a maid?"

"Why not?" Gabi smiled. "You just said it. They are one of the rising stars. They are not there yet. A simple scandal would ruin them."

Gabi was using his own words against him! Alfons hid the anger in his eyes. "I think we should talk inside. We need to talk about your plan. This isn't something that you can do without proper planning!"

"No need. I already prepared everything." Gabi smiled. Why would she reveal her card to a snake? "Moreover, you are friends with Mr. Sealey."

"Are you saying that I would betray you to protect Harry?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then why don't we…"

"As I said, there is no need for us to talk. Of course, if you want to involve yourself, then… you can come with me. Let's go to their home right now and propose marriage. What do you think?"

"That — "That would never happen!

"What's wrong, brother? I thought you would always support me." Gabi sighed. "But it's alright. I understand that you value Mr. Harry more than me. I should just — "

"Gabi please don't say something like that."

"Then why won't you help me?" Gabi looked aggrieved as she stared at Alfons. She couldn't help but wonder what would this man do now that she was putting him in a tough position. Proposing a marriage would surely affect his relationship with Harry.

However, not accompanying Gabi would mean that he chose Harry over her.

For someone like Alfons, who always values benefits above anything, this is going to be a troublesome thing to decide.

"What is it, brother?"

"I — I don't think I would involve myself in this matter anymore."

"Just as I thought. You would choose a rap*st over me. I should have known."

"Gabi! What are you talking about? I just said that— "

"Not supporting me simply means that you are not willing to confront your abusive friend. That's it. There is no in-between. It's either you are with me and help me uphold justice or you stand behind a criminal."

"I would never do that."

Gabi laughed. "I recalled a saying. The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." She leaned forward. "You are that tragedy… right now. How disappointing, brother. I guess… I am really alone in this world."

With that, Gabi walk towards Mr. Glen. "Let's continue. I needed to finish everything before nine. I have an appointment later." She didn't spare Alfons any glance anymore.

"Alright… " Glen enthusiastically said and the two of them started running again.

Seeing Gabi like this made Alfons speechless. Something must have happened. He could no longer ignore the changes that is happening around Gabi.

No, he couldn't let this continue!

Right now, Gabi is slowly distancing herself from him. However, he was really in a dilemma right now. He needed to choose between Gabi and Harry. Both people have enormous potential. However, Harry had been in his family's business now. He is slowly building his influence. Moreover, he was also considered a genius in the business industry.

Compared to Gabi who still has nothing but her family name, Harry is considerably a better ally. With that, Alfons immediately called Harry.

"She is going to tell your mother about that incident,"Alfons said the moment Harry picked up the call. "Tell your mother not to go to this… meeting tomorrow."
