Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

Chapter 12



Nadine was suddenly reminded of how cruel the world could be to a woman who did not stand her 

ground

She had treated Evelyn and Gigi like her own family, and how had they repaid her genuine kindness? By 

inviting Jean over and treating Nadine like she was no better than a pest. 

If that were the case, Nadine saw no point in treating them like her own kin anymore. 

She thought she had been well within her rights to call Gigi a giant log after the latter complained of her ” 

yapping

The housekeeping staff on the sidelines immediately knew what Nadine meant. They had to look down 

and bite on their lips to keep from laughing out loud. 

Some of them didn’t get the joke at first, but they struggled to contain their laughter when they did. 

The insult would have flown over Gigi’s head if she hadn’t heard the housekeeping staff’s suppressed 

laughter and finally cracked the meaning behind Nadine’s retort. 

Nadine had implied that Gigi was as dumb as a log. 

Flying into a rage, Gigi pointed at Nadine and seethed, “You bitch! How dare you call me stupid! I’ll rip your 

throat out for that!” 

She was fuming as she shrugged off Evelyn’s hold on her and stormed up to Nadine. She raised a hand, ready to slap Nadine. 

However, Nadine caught Gigi’s wrist in time and narrowly avoided the assault. 

Unable to move her right hand, Gigi raised her left one and attempted to slap Nadine a second time. 

Nadine did not give her the chance to do so. With two hands, she wrenched Gigi’s wrist until the pain silenced the latter and made all the blood drain from her face. 

Wincing, Gigi hissed, “You wicked bitch! Did you have to go so far just because I called you names?” 

Nadine did not let go of Gigi’s wrist and merely stared at her ferociously. 

She had lost count of the times Gigi had picked on her since she married Brad five years ago. Her behavior today was a warning to Gigi that she was not a pushover. 

Evelyn was relieved that Gigi had not been struck. 

She glared at Nadine and asked sourly, “What do you think you’re playing at, Nadine? Are you so high and mighty that you can’t take some criticism from Gigi?” 

Evelyn was furious that Nadine would resort to using violence against Gigi. Nadine was getting more out of hand after Adam sided with her, which made Evelyn’s blood boil. 

She decided it was time to put Nadine in her place. 

Chac12 

In the past, Nadine would have tried to maintain some modicum of peace within the family even if it 

meant putting up with Evelyn’s condescension. 

After all, Evelyn was Brad’s mother. It was Nadine’s obligation to respect and take care of Evelyn as she 

would her own mother. 

But Nadine had enough of putting up with Evelyn’s nonsense and contempt. Today, she would stand up 

for herself. 

Her knifelike gaze fell on Evelyn as she countered, “Criticism? Gigi blatantly insulted me, and everyone 

here can testify that I was merely responding to her snide remark. 

“Did you think I would keep quiet after being called a bitch? You said I was high and mighty; I think it’s 

because you feel so inferior that you have to put me down to feel better about yourself.” 

Nadine did not hold back. She did not care that she had crossed a line with Evelyn and Gigi today. She 

saw no need to spare them the admonishment. 

Evelyn tried to argue, but no words came out of her mouth. 

Gigi was in so much pain that she couldn’t even speak. She stared at Nadine with wide eyes, silently 

pleading with her to let go. 

Unfortunately for Gigi, Nadine ignored the plea in her eyes. 

Nadine turned to smile at Adam as she suggested, “Grandpa, I think you were right when you said Gigi is 

far too spoiled. Giving her a time–out might not be an adequate punishment for her. 

“Perhaps you should have her write lines instead. Mrs. Hamilton will be celebrating her birthday soon, writing lines could help calm Gigi’s temper and straighten her out before the big event.” 

Gigi wouldn’t suffer in a time–out. At worst, she would only have to go to bed without supper. 

Knowing Evelyn, she would find a way to break Gigi out of time–out or sneak her bits of food. As if Nadine would let Gigi get away with that. 

Writing lines was different; it was something Gigi had to complete on her own. 

She couldn’t enlist anyone’s help, either. Everyone’s penmanship was different and it would have been too obvious that she had someone write her lines for her. 

Adam seemed pleased with the suggestion. He gave Nadine a look of approval before addressing Daniel, “Nadine’s right. Gigi has been spoiled rotten by you and Evelyn, and now it’s time to rectify her behavior! 

“I want her to write out the line “I will not misbehave or throw a tantrum and always remember to uphold the family honor a thousand times. 

“That ought to calm her down and remind her how a young lady should behave, not to mention give the entire family some much–needed reprieve from her tantrums. It’s a win–win situation.” 

Daniel thought this was a rather trivial matter and saw no point in getting Adam upset about it, so he said, 

“Fair enough.” 

Evelyn, however, tried to plead Gigi’s case. “Adam…” 

“It’s decided, then!” Adam said with finality. “Gigi will write that line a thousand times and hand in her 

work to me in a week.” 

He gave Gigi a warning look. “If you even think about taking the easy way out, I’ll punish you the traditional Hamilton way!” 

Gigi barely had time to argue for her cause before the butler dragged her away to write her lines. 

Brad was silent the entire time and merely watched the whole ordeal with cold indifference. 

There was a dark look in his eyes as he turned his gaze to Nadine. He felt like there was something different about her. 

When peace resumed in the Hamilton household, Adam returned to the head of the table. He looked exhausted, and he had lost his appetite. 

“Go ahead and eat without me,” he said as he reached for Sean’s hand. “I’ll go for a walk with Sean.” 

With that, he and Sean left to take a stroll outside. 

Daniel watched as Adam left the dining room before glancing at Brad, who sat at the table and dined elegantly. 

“Things are complicated enough at home as they are, Brad. Haven’t you had enough of this nonsense?” 

Adam berated, upset that Brad had invited Jean over for dinner. 

This was supposed to be a wholesome family dinner, but Jean had ruined it with her presence. Adam 

even nearly had a heart attack because of her. 

Safe to say, Daniel did not like Jean one bit: 

“Brad, society expects you to be monogamous. We must maintain a united front as a family if we want. 

our stocks to do well on the market,” Daniel pointed out gravely. 

He continued, “How am I supposed to entrust you with running the company if you can’t even manage your private affairs?” 

Brad’s behavior was incomprehensible, and having his mistress show up at the family home and seated at the dining table with his wife was beyond madness. 

Daniel was convinced that Brad had lost his mind. 

Jean couldn’t bear the sight of Brad getting admonished and quickly came to his defense, “No, Mr. Hamilton, you’ve got it all wrong. This isn’t Brad’s fault, it’s mine. 

“I couldn’t stop pining over him, and I wanted to come by to see him. I ended up staying longer than ! expected, and I couldn’t turn Mrs. Hamilton down when she asked me to stay for dinner. 

“I should have said no.” 

As she said this, she stood up and bowed her head at Daniel in apology. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hamilton. I didn’t 

lean to cause you so much trouble. I promise I won’t show up here ever again!” 

ean bolted out of the dining room with her hands covering her face. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

urious at this, Daniel shouted after Brad, “If you take even one step out of that door, Brad, I will disown
