Chapter 5 You Are Indelicate!
After hanging up the phone, Gianna opened the window and looked at the blue sky outside indifferently.
"Mom! Who did you offend?"
When Gianna left the Geller family that year, she was only nine years old. The memory that lingered in her mind was the picture of her mother being bullied by Brenna, and her mother always ate humble pie.
However, Gianna's mother was actually a wise and capable woman, so Gianna didn't know why her mother just endured all the bullying and didn't resist.
After they left the Geller family, several parties of people chased them and wanted to kill them. Her mother's powerful martial arts and her acupoint block therapy made Gianna understand that she actually was capable to fight back. But her mother needed to stay in the Geller family to hide herself.
Until one day, her mother received a phone call. At that time, Gianna found something wrong, but she was so young and had experienced many escapes, so she just thought that someone came after them and wanted to kill them again.
But that night, her mother committed suicide with the poison she personally created!
Before she died, she asked Gianna to go to Lancaster Shrine to find Master Gerald Pratt, worship him as a master, and learn martial arts. Besides, for ten years, Gianna was not allowed to go down the mountain and she also had to hide her capacities and bide her time.
Her mother specifically told Gianna that she wanted to be cremated without a tombstone after she died. She also told Gianna to go back to the Geller family to find her father Sherman ten years later and marry Lloyd.
Gianna did everything else except for marrying Lloyd.
She had been living in the pain of her mother's death every day for the past ten years. She wanted revenge, so she would never let a marriage hinder her.
But now...
Gianna thought, "Lloyd was also involved in the matter of that year, but I have already broken off the engagement. It seems that I have to think of another way to approach Lloyd and investigate the matter of that year."
A violent knock on the door brought Gianna's train of thought to reality.
She opened the door and went out. Then she saw Brenna rushing in with a group of people from the Geller family, including Brenna's eldest son's family, the youngest son's family, and Alisa.
More than a dozen people filled the small living room.
The people were all very angry, especially when they saw Gianna come out. They would tear her apart for two pins.
"Gianna! You bastard! Who allowed you to break off the engagement? You bitch! How dare you!"
When Brenna saw Gianna, she was furious, just like a griffin puffing flames.
She never thought that Gianna would be at liberty to break off the engagement.
If it weren't for Damian's call, Brenna still didn't know about this thing.
Fortunately, Damian valued the engagement very much and did not give Brenna a hard time. He only said that although Lloyd was disabled, he would give half of his property to Lloyd in the future, and he wouldn't let Alisa be wronged if they got married. He also promised that he would support the Geller Group's business more in the future.
Because Gianna had just returned, the Geller family had not disclosed Gianna's identity, so Damian didn't know yet that it was Gianna, not Alisa, who was going to marry Lloyd.
Brenna didn't care about it. Anyway, Damian just asked the eldest daughter of the Geller family to get engaged to Lloyd. As long as Gianna married Lloyd, the Geller family would get a lot of benefits from Damian.
However, Brenna didn't expect Gianna to dare to break off the engagement!
Gianna squinted coldly and stared at Brenna without speaking for a while.
"I asked Gia to do that." Sherman stood in front of Gianna and stuck up for her. He said seriously, "Don't blame her. The buck stops here."
Brenna directly slapped Sherman and shouted angrily, "You ungrateful man! Do you know what this marriage means to the Geller family?"
Although Brenna didn't want Alisa to marry Lloyd before, she didn't really break off the engagement. It was because she wanted to find a way not only to get the Finley family's investment but also to keep Alisa.
But now, if Gianna's movement annoyed the Finley family, the Geller family would get no money.
"What does it mean?" Sherman sneered, "You did all this just for your dignity! You look down upon Gia, so you are willing to sacrifice her."
"Sherman!" Sherman's eldest brother, Enrique Geller, frowned and said, "How dare you say that! Mom is all for the good of the Geller family. Besides, the Finley family also said that Gianna would not be wronged if she married Lloyd."
"That's right. Sherman, although Lloyd is a cripple, his family is powerful and rich. Look at Gianna. She has been raised in the countryside since she was a child and has no higher education. I'm afraid she didn't even graduate from high school. She is now nineteen years old. If she can't go to university, she can only go to do some odd jobs..."
Sherman's second eldest brother, Chace Geller, continued to say, "On her terms, she can only find a job as a waiter, and she can only have an ordinary boyfriend in the future. There's nothing bad about marrying Lloyd. At least, she doesn't have to worry about money."
"Enough!" Sherman roared, "Gia is my daughter, and I have the right to decide who she will marry. No matter how good Lloyd is, Gia will not marry him."
"You!" Enrique flushed with anger and snapped, "You're being impossible."
Brenna looked at Sherman and said angrily, "You have no right to call the shots in the family. Since Gianna is a member of the Geller family, she should do something for the family. Our family won't keep idlers!"
Gianna laughed, with a touch of disdain in her eyes.
Brenna suddenly turned her head and looked at Gianna viciously. "What are you laughing at!"
Gianna raised her head and stared at Brenna coldly. She replied, "I'm laughing at your bad memory! It seems that I haven't spent any of your money since I was born. You have never raised me. Why should I listen to you?"
Although Gianna was so young at that time, she still remembered that Brenna hadn't even bought her a piece of candy.
"You!" Brenna was so angry that she didn't know how to retort. She looked at Gianna with a trace of resentment.
Brenna thought, "This bitch is really silver-tongued!"
"Gianna!" Enrique snapped, "How dare you talk to your grandma like this! She is your elder. Is that how your mother taught you?"
With her hands in her pockets, looking slouchy, Gianna smiled and said, "Sorry, my mother is dead. Why don't you go down and ask her about how she taught me?"
Enrique flushed with anger and scolded, "You are so indelicate!"
The rest of the Geller family was also angry with Gianna's impolite behavior.
Everyone didn't speak because Brenna was present, but they all looked at Gianna viciously, as if wanting to tear her apart.
Gianna raised her jaw slightly, not caring about their glances at all.
Brenna stared at Gianna for a long time and finally suppressed her anger after taking a few deep breaths. Brenna said in a soft tone, "Your mother betrothed you to Lloyd, and she will never hurt you, will she? Damian said he hoped you could marry Lloyd."
Gianna just looked at Brenna with a faint smile, without a word.
Brenna frowned and said coldly, "Gianna! Let me remind you! The house you guys live in is provided by me. If you don't marry Lloyd, I will take back this house. In addition, your father will also
be kicked out of the company. As long as I live, he will never find a job in Rheinsville City. Without money, he won't support his family!" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Gianna could speak, Sherman took a step forward and said with a serious expression, "You can take the house back if you want. I'm a healthy adult, and I can support my family. Anyway, I won't let Gia marry a cripple!"
Brenna was so angry that she wanted to give Sherman another slap. She suppressed her anger and looked at Sherman gnashing her teeth. Then she said, "Great! You have a backbone. I'll just wait and see how long you can last."
Brenna continued to say coldly, "I'll give you guys an hour to move out of here right now!"
