Chapter 56
Zachary looked up, his eyes cold. “What is it?”
He didn’t like being disturbed in his private time, especially when he was alone with Gabrielle.
“Sorry to bother you, I’m the head of the Meyers Group Northmere branch, my last name is Gentry.”
Rafael Gentry handed over a business card.
Zachary didn’t answer and gave the bodyguard next to him a look.
The bodyguard stepped forward and took the business card.
“We, Mr. Meyers, Cristofer, wanted to ask Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Monroe to come over and have a talk.”
Rafael explained why he was here, and his eyes went back to Gabrielle.
Cristofer? He was at this restaurant too?
Gabrielle’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped her knife and fork tighter.
Zachary’s face darkened, and he gave off a cold vibe.
“Didn’t see.
He refused briefly and firmly, and his tone left no room for doubt.
Rafael seemed to have expected this result, and his smile stayed the
same.

“Mr. Monroe, our Mr. Meyers was very sincere.”
“He said maybe Mrs. Monroe would be interested in some old stories about Balamoră.“.
Rafael put extra emphasis on the words “Balamora old stories.”
He stared hard at Gabrielle, trying to find a flaw on her face.
Blatant threats and testing.
Gabrielle’s heart felt like it was gripped by an invisible hand.
Cristofer was pushing her, pushing her to admit her past.
Zachary’s eyes suddenly looked really scary.
The strong air pressure made the air around feel like it was frozen.
The other customers in the restaurant seemed to notice the tense atmosphere here too and glanced over.
Zachary squeezed out a word through his teeth, his voice cold enough to freeze.
The smile on Rafael’s face finally started to fade.
He didn’t expect Zachary to be so direct, so disrespectful to the Meyers family,
“Mr. Monroe, maybe what you did wasn’t so good?”
“You knew about the Meyers family’s influence in Balamora.”
“We just wanted to…”
“Do you need me to say it again?”

Zachary interrupted him, looking at him like he was already dead.
“If you don’t get lost, I don’t mind dragging you out.”
Rafael was stunned by the murderous look in Zachary’s eyes.
He had no doubt that if he said one more useless word.
The man in front of me could really make him disappear right then and there.
Mr. Meyers was awesome, but a powerful dragon can’t beat a local snake.
If you went head–to–head with Mossvale and Zachary, you definitely didn’t get anything good.
“Yes, I got it.”
Rafael swallowed hard, his face a bit pale.
“Sorry to bother you, Mr. Monroe, Mrs. Monroe.”
After he finished talking, he didn’t dare stay any longer and hurriedly turned around to leave.
Watching Rafael leave in a mess, Zachary’s face was still gloomy.
Cristofer actually dared to use Gabrielle’s past to threaten him. He was really asking for it!
“Zachary…” Gabrielle looked at him worriedly.
She knew Cristofer’s provocation had completely pissed off Zachary
Zachary took a deep breath and pushed down the urge to kill.

again.
“It’s nothing, just a clown jumping around.”
“We kept cating.”
He didn’t want these annoying things to mess up his dinner with Gabrielle.
But Gabrielle knew things weren’t that simple.
Since Cristofer dared to send people over to provoke us directly, it meant he might really have something on us.
Or you could say, he wasn’t satisfied with just testing things out in secret anymore.
He wanted to get in touch with her more directly and confirm her identity.
They might have even started making plans to “take her back.”
This meal, in the end, was eaten kind of absentmindedly.
Neither of them said anything else, and they finished dinner in silence.
On the way back to the villa, the atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy.
“Zachary, Cristofer, what did he… really want to do?”
Gabrielle couldn’t help asking.
She had to know the other person’s purpose so she could handle it better.
Zachary was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.
“Something might have happened inside the Meyers family.”

“What is it?” Gabrielle asked.
“The details were still under investigation.”
Zachary’s brows were furrowed.
“But based on some scattered info, it seemed to be related to the Meyers family’s inheritance.”
“Cristofer was the heir in name, but his position in the Meyers family wasn’t solid.”
“There were lots of factions within the Meyers family, and things were tense under the surface.”
“He needed some… special chips to solidify his position.”
Gabrielle’s heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely caught a clue.
“This chip had something to do with me?”
Zachary nodded, looking at her with a complicated expression.
