Lady Invincible

Chapter 16

Gabrielle expressed intense resentment towards Diego, who created a useless wall between her and her dress.

It seemed like she had completely forgotten the fact that the person who purchased her dress a while ago was the one in front of her right now.

Diego, who forgot his regrets after raging at Gabrielle earlier, began to get angry again at his step-daughter, who in such a serious situation only spoke of such nonsense.

However, Gabrielle, whose nerves were already over her wall, did not notice Diego's anger.

"If you're going to punish sister Hilise, isn't there a way other than locking her up? It's so savage! It's such an old-fashioned way to lock her up!"

Gabrielle, who appealed with her tears, said that the atrocities of Hilise in the gardens a little while ago were barbaric and violent, was accusing Diego more fiercely this time.

Of course, it wasn't for Diego, but for the safety of her dress in isolation with Hilise. Diego struggled to swallow his anger and spit out a repressed voice from under his teeth.

"Just a room? Gabrielle, you even got Ricardo injured because of Hilise, but right now because of that dress..."

"What dress! Don't disparage my things that way! And father, too, sometimes you can argue with brothers. What are you so sensitive about?"

Gabrielle's contradictory remarks left Diego speechless.

In such a way of thinking, it was right to think that what happened between Hilise and Gabrielle in the garden was a trivial quarrel between sisters.

"I heard that he wasn't badly hurt either. It was just a slight scratch on his face!"

However, she did not seem to have such awareness.

"To such a degree of locking her up like this, father is too much!"

While being heavily criticized by Gabrielle, he became increasingly impatient and uncomfortable.

For the first time, he hated hearing Gabrielle's voice, which was always pleasing to his ears like the song of a lark.

"So father, get rid of these ridiculous walls right now...."

"No! I will not be changing my decision."

Diego cut off her words in a cold tone that he had never used against Gabrielle before.

"Gabrielle, no matter how much you say, nothing will change. If you say one more word about this, I won't stay still. Just so you know!"

It was a resolute attitude as he would not be having any more conversations with Gabrielle on this matter.

It wasn't enough to hear Diego's yelling, and now Gabrielle, who encountered his true heartfelt coldness for the first time, was stunned.

Diego's words widened Gabrielle's eyes in shock.

"And I wasn't going to allow you to attend Kalykia's ball anyway."

"What?!"

"Did I not tell you to ban access to the outside for a while? So, it doesn't matter if you wear a rag as a dress since there wouldn't be a place to wear it to anyway."

Diego then went down the stairs, walking past Gabrielle.

She was in great shock and stiffened her lips, unable to find things to say.

Her stunned eyes followed Diego again.

"Oh my God, is father angry with me again now?"

Gabrielle looked back at the employees who had been listening to the conversation between the two since earlier.
