Chapter 89: Being Fooled
In the hall of the Morris' Old Mansion…
Because of Gianna's sarcasm, Joanna's face changed at once.
At that moment, she was so furious that she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Not only she but also Abbott and his family's faces were also ugly.
It was a good thing that Helen didn't come.
If she had come, she would have been pissed off.
She should not dare to go out now.
After doing such a humiliating thing in front of so many people, she should have been locked up by Abbott.
For a while, the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
Alexander, who stepped up to be a peacemaker, hastened to greet her, "It's all in the past. Let's not mention it. As for why Gina and Kingsley came back a day late, it's also because something happened at Kingsley's home. I told them not to rush back. Although they didn't come back, they asked Harriet to bring back a lot of gifts, which made me a little embarrassed. We didn't give a dowry, but received a bunch of bride price ... Look, they are carrying so many things back again. The Walker family is really too generous."
At this moment, he saw the maids bringing in the things Gina and Kingsley brought back from the Walker family.
There was so much stuff that even Joanna and Abbott were surprised.
But both of them had a very good understanding to pretend not to see.
Joanna also deliberately changed the subject and said, "I didn't come here today to argue with you guys. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Please speak." Alexander was still respectful of Joanna.
After all, she was his mother.
It was also because of Alexander's filial piety, Joanna was arrogant and domineering. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
In the past, Gianna was like her father and obeyed her rampant grandmother in everything.
But in the future, she wouldn’t be so kind.
She just remained indifferent and saw what her grandmother was going to do again.
Joanna didn't keep them guessing, and said in a bossy tone, "I brought Gemma here today. I have no other purpose than to tell you that Gemma is going to work at the Morris Group tomorrow. Just let her take Helen's place. Helen has been in a bad mood, so I'm letting her stay at home for now."
She said she was going to discuss it with them, but her words left no room for discussion at all.
Gianna felt a little sarcastic.
Joanna’s wishful thinking was wonderful.
She was aware that Helen's life and work were ruined, so she tried to support Gemma.
Alexander obviously had some problems with Joanna's arrangement.
After all, Helen had been working in the company for more than a year and just got familiar with her work at hand. Now Joanna suddenly wanted to replace her, and let Gemma, who had never been exposed to the workplace, take over her position. He didn't feel right at all.
He was about to say something when Gianna said, "Okay."
Alexander was stunned and turned his head to look at Gianna.
Hadn't she always refused to let Gemma into the Morris Group?
Why did she suddenly say yes again?
Alexander was not the only one who was surprised, Joanna and Abbott were also shocked by Gianna's words.
They had prepared a lot of other excuses, and they just didn't know whether it would be Alexander or Gianna who would make things difficult for them. They didn't expect Gianna to be so straightforward, which made them feel a little apprehensive.
During this time, they were really confused about Gianna's performance.
At the moment, she was so out of the ordinary again, which made them wonder if Gianna was up to something.
Gianna certainly knew what these people were thinking.
The reason why she said yes was that Joanna had come here personally to say that she would let Gemma work at the company. So she must have been completely prepared, and she didn't want to waste her breath and get into trouble. She might as well just let Gemma into the company and let Joanna and Abbott have nothing to say.
"It's really not appropriate for Helen to be in the public eye at this time. And since Gemma is willing to share the workload for Helen, we certainly won't let Gemma down." Gianna said in a dignified way and looked generous, "Dad, do you think so?"
Alexander nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, since Gemma wants to help her sister, of course, we will support her. You can just follow your father and your brother to the company and report tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle Alexander, and thank you, Sister Gianna," Gemma hurriedly thanked.
She hadn't expected her to take Helen's position so smoothly.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.
So, it would not be too difficult for her to take Gianna's place next.
"The problem of Helen's job is easy to solve. Uncle, I wonder if you have thought about how to solve the matter of Helen's future life?" Gianna suddenly said kindly.
Abbott thought that Gianna was going to sarcastic him again.
No matter what, Helen was hooking up with Caesar behind Gianna's back. It was unreasonable for Helen to do so, and she also soiled her family's reputation.
So at the moment, his face went ugly, "Helen will reflect on herself. Don't you worry about that!"
"In fact, I don't think this is Helen's fault. It takes two to make a stupid sexual decision. Caesar also bears a large part of the responsibility. Uncle Abbott, didn't you ever think about holding Caesar responsible?" Gianna reminded.
Alexander was stunned and probably didn't think about it at all.
He only thought that his daughter had done something disgraceful, but did not think about getting any benefit from this matter.
Gianna said seemingly carelessly, "On the day of the wedding, when I knew that Helen and Caesar were having a relationship behind the scenes, I did hate them extremely. After all, for so many years, I thought Caesar only loved me. So after this happened, I was out of proportion in dealing with it and thought about how to get justice for myself. Now that it's over and I've calmed down. I think that since Caesar and Helen are in love, why don't we make it work for them? If they really became a couple, it would be a good story on everybody's lips. Then they wouldn't need to suffer the ridicule of so many people now."
Alexander was obviously moved by Gianna's words.
But he didn't think Gianna was so kind after all, so he didn't comment easily.
Gianna added, "Of course, I also say it for myself. After I got married to Kingsley, I also heard some controversies. If Caesar and Helen became a couple, it would be a happy ending for everyone. In that case, there will be no one to gossip it."
"You think the best of everything." Abbott clearly wanted this outcome but was unwilling to admit it.
Gianna pretended not to hear, and said simply, "In fact, I still want to find the opportunity to thank Helen and Caesar. If it were not for their relationship, I would not have been able to marry Kingsley. Only after I married Kingsley did I know what true love is. It was probably due to the childhood attachment, which I misunderstood as a liking, that I used to be with Caesar. Now, I just sincerely hope that we can each find happiness."
The more she said it nicely, the easier it was for Abbott to fall for it!
