Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 9: The Breaking News Was a Humiliation to Caesar

The next morning, when Gianna just got up and was sitting on the toilet, she received a phone call from Maureen.

Maureen was greatly excited. “Gina, have you read the news today?”

“…” She was about to read it.

“Your Caesar and Kingsley have made the hot topic!”

“Who told you Caesar is mine?” Gianna said gruffly.

“That means Kingsley is yours?” Maureen teased.

“Maureen, Torres!” Gianna was completely speechless towards her.

Maureen laughed so hard. “Anyway, just read the news. It’s kinda…interesting.”

After finished, she hung up.

Gianna could tell what the media would write without looking.

And she was right.

Gianna browsed through the hot topic lists from all popular websites.

#Charity banquet received funding up to billions, Kingsley Walker stood out among the wealthy#

#Caesar Kennedy refused to spend a large sum of money to marry Gianna Morris#

#Kingsley Walker is still a spendthrift, giving away jewel worth 30 million yuan#

It was the first time Kingsley did not make it to the hot topic due to his gossip news, he had even made it to the headlines of the economy, social and other official sites. He received both praises and criticisms.

And it was the first time Caesar getting teased and demeaned.

Caesar looked terrible when he saw the news.

He used to receive endless praises back then, yet he was criticized by the media this time. The media accused him of being stingy, that he did not love Gianna enough, and he was not as perfect as what was said by the rumors. They had even talked about the Kennedy family’s economical situation and claimed that something had gone wrong with the family’s capital chain.

That was indeed true, and that was why the family was so anxious to connect to the Morris family through marriage to gain unconditional funding from the Morris’s. Yet he never expected that Kingsley would nearly ruin his big plan at such a crucial moment.

What made him angrier was the fact that the Kennedy’s stock market had plummeted upon opening. To stabilize the market, the Kennedy’s had to utilize a large sum of capital. That was literally adding insult to injury.

Caesar was so enraged that he was trembling, yet he told himself to calm down.

The most important thing now was to marry Gianna.

The Morris family came second in terms of wealth among the four greatest families in Country B, just after the Walker family. If he managed to take over the Morris family, he could straightaway suppress the Walker’s with the wealth of both the Morris’s and the Kennedy’s, and Kingsley would not be able to beat him down.

Of course, once he took over the Morris family, he would have the capability to expand his own family.

Having thought of that, an evil smile broke upon his lips.

He would definitely pay it back ten times and more for the humiliations he received today!

…

Meanwhile at the Morris house, Gianna was reading the news and she was intrigued.

Maureen called her again. “Have you read it?”

“Yeah,” she replied. “By the way, why are you being so excited?”

“I’m excited for you!” Maureen sounded as if she should naturally behave like that. “I thought you have a bad judgment back then and I was going to advise you, but now I suddenly think you’re indeed wise that you could even find strength from Kingsley Walker that scumbag.”

Gianna had no idea whether she was praising her or not.

She said, “It’s not what you think between Kingsley Walker and me.”

“Then what it is?” Maureen was interested.

“You’ll know after that.”

“Are you starting to hide things away from me now? You’ve changed!” Maureen complained.

Yes.

She did.

She had become a vengeful person!

“Oh yes,” Maureen suddenly remembered of something. “Bruce Shawn has come back.”

“Oh yeah?” Gianna replied.

She remembered he had returned within these few days.

But she could not remember the details.

“He came back secretly last night, I was so shocked, the point is…” Maureen endured her urge to continue.

Gianna was intrigued.

“Anyway, he must be up to no good when he comes back, he must be planning to steal my family property!” Maureen said assertively. “I won’t let him do as he wishes.”

Gianna wanted to tell her.

That the one who was going to steal her family property from her was not her elder brother from another parent, but her lover who she always thought of.

Yet she felt that she needed time to make her believe.

“Since you don’t want Bruce to steal your family property, why don’t you go to work and take over the company?”

“Well…” Maureen did not answer.

It was obvious that she had a strong desire for enjoyment and she did not want to go to work at all.

She stammered, “Don’t I still have Brandon? He could help support our family!”

Maureen was just like her in the past.

She was naïve just like her.

She said, “Anyway, do consider my suggestion. Enough talking, my grandma’s calling me.”

There was indeed an incoming call.

“There won’t be any good news when your grandma’s looking for you,” Maureen said gruffly.

Indeed.

And that was why she had to spend time dealing with these people!

She hung up her call and picked up Joanna Richardson’s call.

“Hi, granny…”

“Who are you talking to on phone? How could you not pick up my call for so long! You’re just like your father, an impolite brat!” she clearly did not sound good. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Gianna’s hand which was holding the phone slightly tightened.

Because her grandma’s conservative mindset that prioritized males was especially strong, her grandma had never liked her and she always doted on Baron Morris, Abbott’s eldest son. She had always tolerated her grandma just like her father all these years.

Yet after being reborn again, she did not plan to endure it anymore, not a bit.

She asked, “What can I help you, granny?”

“Get your ass back to the mansion now!” After finished, she hung up abruptly.

Gianna pulled down her face.

She felt that it was time to give her a piece of her mind.

Or else she would really think she was the Queen of England!

She put down her phone, quickly cleaned herself up, went downstairs and was ready to leave the house.

“Gina, you’ve not even had your breakfast, where are you going?” Fiona quickly called her daughter.

“I’m going to granny’s house.”

“Why are you going there?” Fiona was clearly shocked.

She had fear towards her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart too.

Since she was married into the Morris family, her mother-in-law had not shown her any kindness, and the reason was Fiona was born in a poor family and Joanna disdained her. It was because Gianna’s grandpa liked Fiona very much that he agreed to their marriage.

After marriage, Fiona would try all she could to avoid meeting Joanna.

Now that she heard that her daughter was going back, she was certainly reluctant to let her go.

“Granny said she has something to look for me.”

“And what is that?”

“She didn’t mention.”

Fiona could not really oppose Joanna all these years, and she certainly could not forbid her daughter from going. After pondering for a while, she said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Are you worried that I’ll get bullied by granny?”

“When had she ever not bullied you?” Fiona said gruffly.

“You can’t do anything even if you go too,” Gianna spoke directly.

She knew too well that to avoid huge family conflict, her mother would certainly obey her granny’s words.

“At least I won’t let your granny scold you alone.” That was the biggest protection Fiona could offer her.

Gianna smiled.

Her mother was indeed too kind.

She said, “Let’s go.”

She secretly promised to let her see how she would deal with her evil mother-in-law.
