Chapter 367: Chapter 367:1 Won’t Let Her Go

After the engagement banquet, Gavin Graves never saw Bella Foster again.

He did not like his woman causing trouble outside, and Bella Foster was not even his woman, so he had even less reason to tolerate it.

To put it bluntly, for Gavin, Bella Foster’s existence was like the neighbor’s child coming over to visit – familiar, but not necessarily a deep friendship.

Even though Gavin’s mother is close female friends with Bella’s mother, their friendship was built on playing cards, going to beauty treatments, and shopping together. When it comes to real interests, such relationships can be easily broken.

Bella Foster was rejected by Gavin and could not even enter the Graves Residence.

Her heart turned cold instantly.

Helpless, she called Gavin’s mother for help, but how could a mother side with an outsider over her own son? Bella’s pleading only made Mrs. Graves think she was incompetent and couldn’t hold a man’s heart. In the end, she just comforted her with a few perfunctory words.

Bella Foster was not reconciled and went to find Gerald Graves since she couldn’t see Gavin.

She was close in age with Gerald and had a childhood friendship. Gerald thought it was just an ordinary little conflict and brought Bella back with him.

After seeing her, Gavin spoke patiently, “You’re still young, and I can overlook your occasional mistakes. The Forresters will keep quiet, and no one will know about this. You can focus on your studies, and you don’t need to come to me again.”

Gavin felt that he had been benevolent and righteous to Bella Foster.

He helped her deal with the mistake she made and did not pursue her responsibility. Otherwise, Bella Foster would have already become a thorn in the eyes of both engaged families! Whose big happy day could continue after encountering such a drama?

But since Bella was brought there by Gavin, he felt that he should take responsibility if anything happened.

Bella Foster started crying as soon as Gavin told her not to come to him again, and sobbed, “Brother Graves, are you blaming me for the Purple Summers incident? I was framed by her!”

At that time, she was tormented by drugs and couldn’t think clearly, but after thinking about it, she became clearer – she had fallen for Purple Summers’ trap!

“It was Purple Summers who switched my drink! She deliberately set me up! Brother Graves, you can’t let that little demon get away with it!” Bella Foster wept and asked Gavin to stand up for them. She felt deeply wronged.

After hearing that, Gavin’s expression turned even colder. He didn’t want to talk more with Bella Foster and stood up to call someone to show her out.

Bella Foster’s heart skipped a beat, her tears gushing out more urgently and crying out in pain, “Why?! Why don’t you blame her? She set me up, and it’s disgraceful for you too! You should teach her a lesson! Why are you driving me away?!”

Originally, Gavin thought that Bella Foster was just too utilitarian and eager for success. But after hearing her words now, he felt that she was simply hopelessly foolish.

“The medicine bottle was still in your bag. Did Purple Summers force you to buy it? Did she force you to put medicine in the cup? Did she force you to go to Young Master Forrester’s room?”

Gavin asked her slowly, sentence by sentence, with a calm and restrained voice, carrying an invisible pressure.

“Bella, you need to be obedient. Right now, you are only forbidden to go to the Graves Family. But if you annoy me, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go to any family’s house.”

Just a little rumor that Bella Foster offended Young Master Graves would be enough for others to see the Foster Family on the blacklist of the social circle, and never do business with them again.

Bella Foster was stunned, as if her throat was being choked, and suddenly lost her voice, only tears quietly streaming down her face.

She knew that the men of the Graves Family were mostly cold and ruthless, but she always thought that Gavin treated her somewhat differently. Although she had never been his woman, she was always closer and more familiar with him than any other woman.

Now, he actually turned against her for a Purple Summers, without any regard for their past!

Bella Foster suddenly broke down, crying and shouting, “It was Purple Summers who harmed me! I won’t let her go! I won’t let her go!”
