Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 13: Negotiating on the Wedding

On their way back home, Gianna continued saying to Fiona with a serious look, “Mom, besides stop obeying granny blindly, you don’t have to tolerate Uncle Abbott and his family all the time.”

Fiona smiled in the grievance. “Your dad doesn’t want to cause a family conflict either. According to the rules, the right of inheritance of the Morris’s should be given to the eldest son, yet your grandpa has given everything to your father, and, understandably, your uncle and his family are unhappy.”

“But that shouldn’t be the excuse Uncle Abbott and his family treating us badly. Mom, we have a wrong mindset in the past, that it’s reasonable that the family business falls on the eldest son, and it would be disrespectful to the eldest son if the second son inherits the family property. But having a second thought, why wasn’t the eldest son unable to inherit the property but the second son?”

Fiona was startled. She had not thought about that indeed.

“That’s because the eldest son is useless and is incapable to hold responsibility for the family, that’s why grandpa chose my dad. Not only that we shouldn’t feel guilty, but we should also be proud that we’re the ones who supported the family business. The Morris’s, including Uncle Abbott, should show gratitude towards us instead of teasing and treating us badly.”

Fiona was actually persuaded by her daughter at that moment.

They had used to abase themselves to avoid family conflicts. Having thought about that now, the reason they could inherit the family property was because of their capability, and how could they suffer from so many criticisms?

Seeing her mother seemed to understand, Gianna said, “So mom, be confident when you face them. Or else they’ll think they’re the right ones!”

“Okay.” Fiona agreed. “Indeed, giving in not only won’t appease them, but it’ll also even encourage them to bully us further.”

“My mom’s smart as expected!” Gianna praised her.

Fiona smiled lovingly. “Haven’t you already showed that clearly to me from your behavior today?”

Indeed.

But she did not solely do that to demonstrate for her mother.

She was also triggering Helen on purpose from what she did today.

To be more accurate, she was aiming at Gemma.

She was now in the limelight and Helen must be jealous of her. After all, Helen thought she was the eldest mistress of the Morris’s and she would always compare with Gianna. She could not bear seeing Gianna having more things than her and was living a better life than her.

Helen would do irrational things whenever she was jealous. Yet Helen was not smart and she did not think as much as Gemma. Therefore, Gemma would definitely offer suggestions to her in order to please her.

Of course, Gemma’s plan was not made for Helen’s benefit.

Everything she did was to bring Helen’s down.

Gianna let out a grim smile.

Thankfully she was reborn, so she could know everyone’s nature and utilize their evil and cunning mind to achieve her purpose.

After all, it was not easy to find Caesar’s weakness before they get married. Caesar was also a cautious person and it was unlikely he was bold enough to hang out with other women before they get married. However, if someone took the initiative to sleep him…A guy who could not change his nature like Caesar would consent.

And she would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of the outcome.

To Gianna and Fiona’s surprise, Alexander also came back when they returned home.

He was still a little surprised when he saw them going out together. “Where have you gone this early morning?”

“Granny’s house,” Gianna replied.

Alexander’s facial expression clearly changed and he said slightly sternly, “Why didn’t you inform me? I should have kept you company.”

They had truly avoided those people from the old mansion like avoiding tigers in her previous life.

She felt indignant for her family had thought about that now.

After all, they had tried their best to please them with utmost humility, yet what they got in return was them collaborating with the Kennedy’s to doom them to death!

Gianna did not utter a word.

Fiona smiled and said, “Go focus on your work in the future, you no longer have to worry about anything in the family.”

Alexander was clearly baffled.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Fiona was always like a cat on hot bricks whenever she went back to the old mansion in the past, she would even go dejected for several days every time she returned. Yet she was clearly having a good mood this time.

“Oh yes, why did you suddenly come back? Has anything gone wrong?” Fiona digressed.

Alexander’s mind was initially full of questions, having remembered something, he did not ask further and answered instead, “Osmond asked us to go have lunch at the Kennedy’s house this noon to talk about Gina and Caesar’s marriage next month.”

As he said, he glanced at Gianna.

Gianna smiled and said with composure, “We should go.”

“Haven’t you decided to cancel the marriage?” Alexander could not help but ask.

“That’s what is going to happen afterwards. We’ll now do anything the Kennedy’s asks and cooperate with them fully…”

They should act according to their wish so they would be more embarrassed when their plans backfire afterwards.

“Alright.” Alexander did not say anything further.

Since he had consented to let his daughter settling the marriage herself, they would naturally listen to all her orders.

Without further adieu, the whole family changed their clothes and headed straight to the Kennedy’s villa.

Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, Caesar, and Caesar’s younger sister, Bernice Kennedy were all welcoming them at the villa’s entrance with enthusiasm.

Gianna used to think the Kennedy’s valued them and that was why they would welcome them so enthusiastically.

Now she knew they were only acting.

Gianna spotted the paparazzo that was hiding in the darkness the moment she got out of the car.

It was a high-class villa district and unless the paparazzo was permitted entry on purpose, even a housefly could not gain entry into it.

Without showing any sign, she accepted their enthusiastic welcoming just like her parents.

All of them entered the Kennedy’s villa.

They were just in time for lunch and everyone sat around a huge round table. The table was full of all kinds of delicacies and the Kennedy’s seemed to have displayed their greatest hospitality.

“We initially agreed to meet during weekends, since Alex needs to go to work, Caesar too, and the wedding day is around the corner, we have to admit we’re a little excited for it too, that’s why we choose to meet you today. I hope it doesn’t affect you!” Osmond spoke and he looked totally like an honest guy.

Gianna let out a grim smile.

She was afraid that the Kennedy’s had other thoughts in mind when their reputation was damaged and their stock market dropped yesterday.

“We’re all family. You don’t have to be so courteous!” Alexander had been in the business world for decades and he was a natural at communicating with people. “With my age, I’ve handed all the work to my subordinates. Why should I care so much about it now?”

“I’ll help Uncle Alex with the work in the future,” Caesar quickly spoke and he behaved courteously.

“That’s what I’m waiting for. I’ll expect you to take good care of the Morris’s business after you marry Gina,” Alexander said with a carefree look.

Gianna smiled.

Her father was actually good at acting too.

“Don’t worry, uncle, I’ll definitely give my best.” Caesar was brimmed with joy when he heard him say that.
