they arrived at Gigi’s ward. Evelyn was already there as she sat by Gigi’s bedside, embracing Gigi while helping her wipe her tears.
“Gigi, how could that bitch hit you? Why did she suddenly hit you till you broke your bones? Where is she? I’ll make her pay for her actions!”
Gigi felt more confident with Evelyn there. She cried in Evelyn’s arms and said, “Mom, that bitch led to me and tripped me. After that, she didn’t help me up and even took some photos of me.
“She said she’ll post them on the internet to humiliate me. I’m a well–known socialite in Janctera City. How can I stand it?
“Mom, you must tell Brad about it. She purposefully tricked me to go there and beat me up.”
Evelyn held onto her daughter and felt her heart ache on Gigi’s behalf. “Gigi, don’t be scared. I’ll call Brad and ask him to bring that bitch over
Brad and Nadine stood outside the door, listening to their entire conversation.
Nadine remained calm as it she had already expected such a thing to happen. She didn’t even look the slightest bit anxious.
However, Brad stood there with a tight frown. He felt a strong sense of displeasure deep down as he listened to his mother and sister refer to Nadine as a bitch repeatedly.
Without giving Evelyn a chance to call him, Brad kicked the door open.
He was already in a bad mood after arguing with Nadine all the way over here, yet falling to gain the upper hand. But his expression darkened even further after listening to what Evelyn and Gigi called Nadine.
He glared at them murderously with an ice–cold gaze.
Evelyn and Gigi immediately felt an overwhelming pressure when they met Brad’s gaze. Their hair stood on end as they exchanged gazes. Evelyn noticed Brad’s sour expression and coughed gently. She smiled and asked warmly, “Brad, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you knock? What’s with that expression of yours? Did someone upset you?”

Due to his dark expression, Evelyn wasn’t sure how much of her
er conversation with
h Gizi he overheard.
Brad’s gaze remained cold as he looked at Evelyn and asked, “Can she not come here?”
Evelyn’s name–calling and hateful gaze directed at Nadine made him uncomfortable. Even if Nadine was just a dog he owned, one should still think of him before bullying his dog.
Not to mention, Nadine was one of his people. Only he was allowed to reprimand her. Who did everyone think they were?
Evelyn met Brad’s gaze and inhaled “Brad, what are you saying? You know your sister hates her the most, yet here you are coming in hand–in -hand with her. Are you trying to anger Gigi?”
Nadine and Brad’s hands were still tightly intertwined despite already entering the ward for some time now. Evelyn was greatly displeased when she sawit
Only then did Nadine realize they were still holding hands. Her first reaction was to pull her hand back, but Brad was too strong. No matter how hard she struggled, she failed to break free from his grasp.
On the contrary, his grip seemed to have tightened instead.
Not only did Brad not let go of her hand, he lifted their hands to Evelyn’s face with a cold gaze and said, “Nadine is my wife. Whose hand am I supposed to hold if not hers? Yours?
“If Gigi can’t stand it, she can just not look at us! She can also choose to have her eyes dug out!”
