Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 4: Teach That Goody Two-shoes a Lesson

After the call, Gianna could not sleep in.

She stretched, got down from the bed and went downstairs.

As she just reached the main hall, she saw Abbott Morris, her eldest uncle and his family visiting them.

That family was always up to no good.

Just because of her grandpa handing most of the family business to her father before he died, Abbott had held resentment and he would occasionally pick their flaws. He had even colluded with Caesar secretly to seize the family property, which sped up the Morris’s decline in the end.

Gianna examined the people in the living room without getting attention. She noticed Abbott had even brought his illegitimate daughter along today.

If she had not mistaken, Abbott’s purpose today was to let his illegitimate daughter work at the Morris Group. The person in charge of the Morris Group was now her father, therefore he needed to gain her father’s permission. Abbott even wanted to give his daughter a good job position.

Her father had indeed cared for Abbott’s pride and agreed to let his daughter join the company in her previous life, yet his daughter was quite ambitious and she had brought tons of trouble and chaos to the company.

Being reborn to the present, how would she let their plan succeed again?

She walked towards them absent-mindedly.

“Please have some tea, Gianna.” Gemma Morris, the illegitimate daughter held a cup of tea to her obligingly, looking utmost deferential.

Gianna extended her hand.

The moment she took it over, Gemma’s hands slipped and the boiling tea seemed to about to fall on Gianna’s hand, luckily Gianna who was reborn had known her tricks too well.

She pretended to be pitiful in her previous life, looking innocent, yet she was cunning and evil and had kept on setting tricks on her behind her back. She had even slept Caesar! She could not tolerate such a goody two shoes and she would not let her off easily no matter what.

Gianna was quick and agile enough to seize Gemma’s hand which she was going to retrieve. All the tea then splashed right onto Gemma’s hand. Gianna’s action was so quick that no one could tell.

Gemma’s shrill was heard from the main hall, followed by the breaking sound of the teacup on the ground.

“What’s wrong?” Abbott looked a little nervous.

“I know Gianna didn’t do that on purpose,” Gemma quickly said.

Tears were all over her face and she looked extremely fragile.

It was no wonder although she was an illegitimate daughter, she was still loved and spoilt by Abbott.

Yet the next second, Gianna landed a hard slap right on her face.

She had used all her strength and Gemma was stupefied at the scene.

Gemma stared at Gianna who was looking aggressive in disbelief.

She knew Gianna too well. She was a docile woman who abode by the rules. She would never do such a thing and she could not even bear to see her cry. As long as she cries, her heart would melt. So as the rest of the family members.

Yet Gianna had actually slapped her face now.

“Do you know how much grandpa loved this tea set when he’s alive? Could you possibly compensate for this after breaking it?” Gianna chastised with power.

Gemma’s face flushed and she cried even more fiercely. She said with a pitiful look, “No, it’s you who didn’t take it properly, it’s you who…”

“Is it me not taking it or is it because of you not holding it properly before I took it?” Gianna interrupted her. “Why, now you’re starting to tell lies?”

“No, it’s clearly you who…” Gemma shook her head profusely with an aggrieved look.

“And now you’re still arguing!” Gianna pulled down her face. “Turns out the daughter who doesn’t grow up with the Morris’s really isn’t up to standard. You can’t even hold a teacup properly.”

Abbott’s expression changed drastically when he heard Gianna’s teasing remarks against his own daughter.

Yet he had no idea exactly whose fault was it just now. Plus, Gemma was indeed an illegitimate daughter and it was inappropriate and difficult for her to join the upper-class community. He actually could not retort and could only hold back his anger.

“Helen.” Gianna turned to Helen Morris, Abbott’s formal daughter. “Your sister is incomparable to you at all.”

Helen actually did not get along well with Gianna too.

Although she was the authentic eldest mistress of the Morris family, she was made an offshoot just because her grandpa had left the family property to Gianna’s family and Gianna had become the official mistress of the Morris’s. She had been holding grudges about it.

Yet because of Gianna teasing Gemma now, she was utmost delighted.

If that bitch was not loved and protected by her father, she would have been beaten up to death.

“God knows what kind of debauched person has she grown up with, she knew nothing besides getting people’s sympathy. I’ve asked my dad not to bring her here and embarrass us. Great, now that she’s broken grandpa’s teacup, beating her to death is not even enough to relieve our hatred!” Helen said with disgust.

“Enough!” Abbott looked terrible and he bawled at Helen, “Shut your mouth up would you!”

Helen rolled her eyes unhappily.

“Alright,” Abbott stood up from the couch and acted as the Mr. Nice Guy. “Although it’s my father’s belonging, I’m sure he would not want the whole family getting unhappy because of this one single teacup. I’ll let the housemaid come clean this up.”

“Yes, yes.” Fiona quickly smoothed things over too. “Gemma’s hand has been scalded, she should hurry up and go to the hospital to let the doctor have a look.”

Although she was acting kind, she refused to mention Gemma’s swollen face due to her daughter’s slap.

Gianna could not help but smile.

Her mother did have some little thoughts in mind too.

“We’ll take Gemma back now, sorry for making you guys unhappy,” Abbott’s official wife, Juliet Reed said.

She did not actually want to help Gemma join the Morris group after all. Even if she had tolerated Abbott fetching his illegitimate daughter back to the Morris family, she would not treat her sincerely.

She was just acting because Gemma was loved by Abbott.

Juliet said while pulling Abbott. Abbott was looking terrible. He initially wanted to talk about the matter of Gemma joining the company. Now that Gemma was teased, he could not say it at all.

He tossed his hand hard and left with rage.

The whole family followed after him.

Gemma could not hide the fury in her eyes when she left.

She never thought that Gianna would treat her like that so suddenly. She seemed to have changed completely. She initially wanted to use her fragility to scald Gianna whom she had been jealous of all the time, as she would forgive her anyway. Yet not only things did not go as she planned, but her plan had also backfired her. Not only she was slapped by Gianna, but she had also even lost her opportunity to join the Morris Group.

No.

She must join the Morris Group!

She was also one of the Morris’s, but why should she be teased like that?

She wanted to impress all the people from the Morris’s and make them suffer!

…

Gianna let out a grim smile as she watched them left.

She knew clearly what Gemma had had in mind, and she was waiting for her to doom herself.

“Gina,” Alexander called her. “Why are you so aggressive today?”

They used to tolerate that family all the time for the sake of peace. Yet he had not expected his daughter who had been gentle all the time had suddenly behaved that mercilessly. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He felt inexplicably relieved too.

Gianna reacted and she let out a sweet smile. “I’ve suddenly learnt that a weak person is liable to be bullied, just like a tamed horse is often ridden.”

“I can’t believe you’ve even lied that it’s your grandpa’s belonging.” Alexander sounded like he was blaming her, yet he was saying that with love.

Gianna stuck her tongue out with a mischievous look.

There was no need for moral boundaries when dealing with a goody two shoes!
