Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 793

Avery turned nervous and asked, "What's going on?"
"Gabrielle went into the dressing room and asked me to help her get the clothes. When I took the clothes to her, I found that she has disappeared. I looked around and did not see her."
"Find her," Evan ordered Robert.
Avery turned around to Evan and said, "Let your men see whether Jackson is still there?"
***
Gabrielle changed her sleeping position and wanted to roll her hands. She found she was tied up.
She opened her eyes immediately. Where was she?
And she seemed to smell rosin and bamboo.
The smell of bamboo should come from the furniture made of bamboo in the room.
Bamboo?
Where the hell was this place? Who tied her here?
Gabrielle tried to recall what had happened. She only remembered that she and her sister played a play for Maeve in the theater. When she went backstage to change her clothes, she suddenly felt pain in her neck and then lost consciousness.
It was a relatively humble and remote place from the room where she stayed.
She was lying on the bed with her chin against the pillow. She was thinking seriously about whether she had recently offended someone.
She was surprised by her own thinking unexpectedly. Was she kidnapped by K's Clam?
He knew that she had leaked his secret, and he brought her here to kill her?
Gabrielle buried her face in the pillow, but at this time, she seemed to hear something.
It's the sound of high heels stepping on the bamboo.
The sound insulation effect of the bamboo wall was not good, so she could hear their conversation.
"Miss. Summer."
Immediately, there was the sound of slapping.
The man who called Miss Summer was slapped.
Miss. Summer?

Gabrielle suddenly remembered that she had seen Diana on her way back to the presidential palace today.
Is that her?
Why did Diana tie her here?
Although Gabrielle did not know the reason, she knew she was in danger.
She didn't know why Diana tied her up. Was she one of K's Clam?
"What's wrong with you? You have got the wrong person tied up!"
"We heard the servant calling Miss. Peters, and we thought that the one inside was the one you wanted to kidnap."
"Why don't we kill the one inside and tie another one up here?"
The man has beaten again and made a hum.
Gabrielle felt her heart was about to jump out. They originally had wanted to kidnap Avery?
And they planned to kill her. She had to save herself.
She was like a caterpillar crawling on the bed. She had to sit up and find a way to save herself.
Outside Diana began to talk again, "You are so stupid! You tied up Gabrielle, and you have alerted them. That woman is not as stupid as you. The presidential palace is full of Evan's men."
"That..."
"Go and tell Avery that Gabrielle is in your hands and that she could be the hostage if she wants to save Gabrielle."
"I never thought of it."
"Remember to remind her to come alone. If she tells Evan, we'll kill Gabrielle!"
"Yes! I'll do what you said."
"Wait." Diana thought for a moment and said, "The people of Ancient County didn't know that we have caught the wrong person. Don't let them find out or have doubts about our ability."
"But I am afraid that those people are not easy to fool, not to mention that they all have witchcraft."

"What are you afraid of? You can say we haven't caught..."
The sound of the door opening interrupted Diana's words.
"Why are you here, Lord Milburn?"
"I heard you brought the woman? Let me have a look."
"Well, whom did you hear from?"
"It's none of your business. Show me the way."
"Lord Milburn, the person inside is not the one you want to see. We haven't caught the woman."
"No matter who it is, I'll take a look. You are not happy about that?"
"No."
"Show me the way. I warn you don't be ungrateful and leave your benefactor in the lurch. Do you think we are fools? You have poison in your body. If you want to play some tricks with me, I will make you suffer."
"Don't you want to see the woman inside? I'll show you."
When Gabrielle heard that Diana was going to bring Lord Milburn in to see her, she lay down again.
She pretended she was in a coma and wanted to hear what they wanted to do.
She felt that they had another purpose. What were they planning?
The footsteps came to her.
She tried not to be nervous, breathed gently, and smelled the rosin in the air.
"Tina!" A powerful voice sounded.
Tina? What's going on?
Gabrielle closed her eyes and didn't know what the situation was now. Who was Tina?
"Her name is not Tina," Diana said.
"She is Tina. She must be Tina! There is hope in our country! The witchcraft will be handed down from past generations."
"Who is Tina?"
"She is the inheritor of witchcraft in our country, but a few years ago, she died from a kind of strange disease."
"A kind of strange disease?"
"The women of her family are born to inherit witchcraft with a thousand years of history, but after the inheritance, they couldn't fall in love with anyone; otherwise, they will die from a kind of strange disease. Unfortunately, Tina fell in love with the president."
Diana was shocked, "The woman you said has a sister called Yuki?"
"Yuki is only an adopted daughter. There is no blood relationship, and she doesn't have the qualification of inheritance."
Diana looked at Gabrielle, who lay quietly on the bed, "But she is from A Country. You called her Tina. Did she really look like Tina?"
"Not alike..." The master of town looked at Gabrielle closely, "They look exactly the same."
Diana gasped. She breathed so loud out of surprise that even Gabrielle heard it.
