Chapter 138 Visiting Gabriel For The Last Time

• Evelyn took a deep, stabilizing breath, forcing her voice to remain completely detached and formal. "Mr. Thorn... regarding the catastrophic events of the last forty-eight hours, you have my absolute gratitude. If a proper opportunity presents itself in the future, I will personally visit your estate to formalize my thanks."
• Could a man of his vast intelligence decode the underlying subtext of her words? She was offering her gratitude through a strict business boundary, refusing to offer her own body or heart as payment for her survival.
• Erica let out a soft, condescending chuckle, breaking the atmosphere as she adjusted her posture. "Miss Sin, pray do not overthink the weight of the situation. My Michael is a man who naturally values loyalty and honor above all else. If it had been any other associate trapped in that villa that afternoon, he would have deployed the exact same level of lethal force to rescue them! Furthermore, the exact second his physical injuries are fully rehabilitated, we will be immediately returning to Gag Country to finalize our wedding arrangements. I am afraid Miss Sin simply won't have the luxury of time to visit our estate to offer thanks."
