Chapter 148 He Has Done This Quite a Few Times
The people around were secretly astonished when they saw this scene. Rumor had it that Gabriel and Natalie had been at odds for a long time.
Why was he still the first person to rush out when Natalie encountered danger? They were already divorced.
Kelly heard the commotion and hurried over, looking Natalie up and down. "Are you okay?"
Natalie calmly shook her head, showing no sign of fear. She was well-prepared.
Even if no one came to help her, with Natalie's skills, this Eugene couldn't harm her in the slightest!
But Gabriel's appearance was too unexpected.
Eugene, lying on the ground, came to his senses. Despite the pain, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
He didn't hear clearly that it was Leo's voice just now, so he naturally didn't think the person who kicked him was Gabriel.
Before he opened his eyes, he cursed, "Who dares to meddle?"
He shouted furiously.
He thought, 'Is there really someone who dares to help Natalie? This person is really clueless!'
At this moment, his face was full of pain as if his internal organs had shifted, and he was gasping in pain!
Leo was amused. "Eugene, open your eyes wide and take a look. Are you tired of living?"
Usually, this guy was very timid in front of them.
Now, he dared to curse so vigorously? Leo really had never encountered such a person before!
Eugene now heard the voice clearly; it was Leo, who was often by Gabriel's side.
Eugene shuddered all over and opened his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
Gabriel's eyes were cold and deep as he glared at him, exuding a chilling and intimidating aura.
Disregarding the pain in his body, he crawled to Gabriel's feet.
He respectfully and nervously called out, "Mr. Kensington, why is it you?"
This shouldn't be happening!
He thoguht, 'Didn't Gabriel hate Natalie? Why would he stand up for her?'
There was no time to think about it; he quickly stated his position. "Mr. Kensington, it's a misunderstanding! I just wanted to teach this disrespectful woman a lesson. She has repeatedly spread rumors online to defame your reputation. It's really hateful. You are a generous person and can overlook it. But as your friends, we couldn't stand it. I had to make her understand the consequences!"
He sounded as if he was doing all this for Gabriel's good..
But as soon as he finished speaking, he received another heavy kick to the chest, his face instantly turning pale with pain!
Gabriel's expression was cold and indifferent. "Do you think you're so tough?"
Leo immediately ran to Natalie to clear things up for Gabriel.
He explained, "We're not friends with him. Gabriel doesn't even know him. This has nothing to do with Gabriel; he acted on his own, Natalie, don't misunderstand."
He knew very well that Gabriel had no intention of completely breaking ties with Natalie.
From the moment he sent Alyssa to the police station, Leo knew that Gabriel was probably falling for Natalie. He just hadn't figured it out himself yet.
So, he had to step up and explain things clearly to Natalie!
Not just anyone could be friends with Gabriel; Eugene was really shameless!
In front of everyone, hearing Leo's words, Natalie gave a cold, unfeeling smile.
Her smile was icy and devoid of warmth. "No need to explain. It's not the first time Mr. Kensington's friends have caused me trouble. Mr. Dixon did this kind of thing quite often back then."
So, what use were these explanations to her?
Did they think a few insignificant explanations could clear things up?
Did they think these explanations would make her grateful?
Natalie wasn't a fool; how could she believe they would be kind?
Seeing this, Leo felt guilty and fell silent, not knowing how to refute her.
Yes, as Gabriel's friend, during the three years he was forced into marriage, he did cause Natalie a lot of trouble.
His methods weren't much more sophisticated than Eugene's. He really had no right or position to refute Natalie's words.
Natalie's words hit the mark!
Leo instinctively glanced at Gabriel, who was standing straight ahead. His hands at his sides were tightly clenched, veins bulging.
No doubt, Gabriel must be feeling terrible inside!
Eugene, writhing in pain on the ground, looked pale and miserable. "Mr. Kensington, I was really doing it for you. I didn't know you still had feelings for her. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to do this!"
He thought Gabriel might still have feelings for Natalie; otherwise, why would he act against him?
If he had known, he would rather have died than dare to harass Natalie!
Leo paused for a moment and couldn't help but speak, "Shut up, Eugene. Do you think you have the right to speak here? When did Gabriel's matters become your business? Do you not want to stay in Rottloe anymore?"
This clueless idiot!
