Chapter 857
Evelyn was a ruthless woman. This was proven years ago when she abandoned
Jean without a second thought.
Jean was just a newborn baby at the time. Evelyn hadn't even glanced at her own
child before instructing her mother to give the baby away.
Ten months of pregnancy, a painful delivery, and the deep bond of flesh and blood
-yet she hadn't hesitated to discard her child just like that. What kind of
heartlessness did that take?
Although Gigi was also her daughter, Evelyn was well aware that Gigi was living a
good life. Therefore, she likely wouldn't pay Gigi much mind.
"You're living well with the Hamiltons. Why would she care about you?" Daniel
asked.
Gigi found Daniel's words logical. Her eyes darted around as she thought of an
idea.
She said, "Yes, I'm doing well-but I'm still her daughter. If I say I need her, she'll
definitely reach out to me, no? Mom's been hiding all this time. If she does
something that harms the Hamiltons again, what will we do then?
"Brad's not in Janctera City, and your health isn't great. I can't shoulder such a
heavy burden alone. We need to find a way to eliminate the threat Mom poses.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of monstrous things she might do next?"
Ever since learning about Evelyn's affair with Lucas, Gigi had felt nothing but
shame. It was often said that a child would never resent their parents' flaws. But
Gigi simply couldn't accept what Evelyn had done.
Now, the entire Janctera City elite circle was buzzing with rumors about Evelyn
and Lucas. The gossip was as vicious as it was relentless, leaving Gigi too
embarrassed to step outside the estate.
After some thought, Daniel nodded, agreeing with Gigi's suggestion. "You can try
reaching out to her. Whether she's willing to meet you, I can't say."
Seeing the determination in Gigi's
eyes, Daniel realized that she had
truly grown up. He stood, walked
over to her, and patted her on the
shoulder. "Just do your best and
leave the rest to luck.
"And one more thing... Go out more
often. Don't let what others say
bother you. What they say hasnoveldrama
nothing to do with you. You're still
young and need to experience
society and interact with people.
Don't keep shutting yourself in at
home."
The events at home over the past few months had made Daniel overlook Gigi's
growth. Now, seeing the maturity on her once-youthful face, he felt a pang of
heartache.
Gigi's eyes instantly reddened. Ever since Brad and Nadine divorced, the family
had changed entirely. It no longer felt like a home. Evelyn's betrayal only
deepened her resentment.
Sometimes, people were forced to grow up overnight.
Daniel's reassurance brought out the softest parts of Gigi's heart. Knowing that he
still cared about her filled her with profound warmth.
"Dad, you should also go out more often. Don't worry about what others say. No
matter what, you still have me and Brad," Gigi said.
Daniel smiled faintly and gently
pinched her cheek. He sighed before
saying, "Our little Gigi has grown up.
I know you want Nadine to be your
sister-in-law, but Brad has hurt her
deeply. It might be impossible to win
her back. If you have time, help Brad
out."
Gigi nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll do my best."
She continued, "I heard that Brad and Nadine are coming back today. I'll go pick
them up."
