Chapter 11 I'm Your Guardian Angel

She had to consider her child. "You may leave now..." Helene sneered. "You're not even worthy of standing beside Mr. Bradford." "What?" Gabriel wanted to argue. As the Marshal of Numenis, money meant nothing to him, but how dare she look down on him? "Gabriel, you really disappointed me. There's no way we can be together. Leave and never come back." Xanthe scowled. Hearing that, Gabriel felt heartbroken. Right then, a young man entered with a few bodyguards behind him. "Why is no one welcoming me at the door?" "Mr. Bradford!" Helene exclaimed when she saw him. "Please, come in..." Bradford was their benefactor. Helene had to flatter him. Even Beaumont approached and welcomed him. Xanthe was stunned. She felt awkward. She didn't want to marry Bradford at all, but she had no choice. However, Gabriel had returned, and she was torn. Why, Gabriel? Why did you come back now? Xanthe's mind went blank. She tried to calm down. "Do you want to marry him?" "I..." Xanthe was speechless. She didn't know what to say. "Xanthe, don't just stand there. Come over here and talk to Mr. Bradford!" Helene beckoned. "You don't want to marry him, do you?" Gabriel asked, staring at Xanthe. It seemed like he could read her mind. Xanthe turned around. She didn't want to look Gabriel in the eyes. "Ask him to leave. I can give you everything you want." Hearing that, Xanthe's heart skipped a beat. She was stunned. Gabriel's face darkened. He then walked over to Bradford and said, "Xanthe will not marry you, please leave now." "What? Who do you think you are?" Bradford was furious. Helene was shocked and slapped Gabriel in the face. "Gabriel! What are you talking about? Get out of here immediately!" Right then, Bradford remembered and recognized Gabriel. "Oh, so you're Gabriel Skarsdale, the rapist. How dare you speak to me like this? Believe it or not, I can kill you!" Bradford then turned to Xanthe and warned, "Xanthe, you should feel grateful that I like you. How dare you associate with this man? You're such a b*tch!" Glaring, Bradford continued, "Your family is begging me to marry you, not the other way around. Do you understand? Please ask him to leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me if I harm him. I will give you one million, but you must promise me not to see him anymore!" Tears welled up in Xanthe's eyes. She knew Bradford very well, and he meant what he said. "Gabriel, I think you should leave... You can't fight Mr. Bradford. Moreover, I can receive one million if I marry him. Please... leave us alone." Hearing that, Gabriel felt a surge of pain. He approached and wiped Xanthe's tears. "You're my woman. No one can bully you as long as I'm around. Whether you accept me or not, no one can harm you. I'm your guardian angel." No one could force Xanthe, especially those who looked down on her and didn't appreciate her. "Damn!" Bradford was infuriated. He was angry that Gabriel still hadn't left. It seemed that Gabriel didn't take Bradford seriously, and Bradford felt humiliated. "Guys, take him down and break his legs!" Bradford shouted. Hearing that, Xanthe was shocked. She quickly begged for mercy, "Mr. Bradford, please. Let him go, and I'll marry you." "Are you sure? Well, I'll still break one of his legs..." Bradford continued, "And, prepare yourself and wait for me at the hotel tonight, okay?" Before Bradford could finish his words, he was kicked from behind and immediately spat out blood. "Who do you think you are? How could you do this to my woman?" Gabriel glared and stepped on Bradford's chest. Once again, Bradford spat out blood, and instantly, the place fell into dead silence.
