Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 38 Are You Surprised

Chapter 38 Are You Surprised

When Alisa was being stared at by Gianna, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

How scary she is!

Alisa subconsciously took a step back.

Everyone else was also intimidated by the momentum emanating from Gianna.

They couldn't help but wonder, "Is she really a country girl?"

The kind of aura she exudes is something that many young ladies from wealthy families don't possess.

The air was filled with an awkward atmosphere, and Sherman remained silent for a moment before asking Gianna, "Is there really no way?"

"Yes, there is. We just have to wait for the effects of the drug to wear off," Gianna replied with a much-improved tone towards Sherman.

Upon hearing this, Sherman only nodded his head. He simply said, "Since you can't solve it, let's go back then. If there's nothing important, we won't come here again."

These words undoubtedly humiliated Brenna publicly.

She suddenly became angry and said, "Sherman! What do you mean? Are you cutting ties with me?"

"Mother!" Sherman said sternly, "I still call you mother out of respect for giving birth to me and raising me. You are my birth mother and I won't cut ties with you. I will do my best to only take care

of you, but I won't bother you with my family affairs." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"You don't like Gia, and I won't bring her over to be humiliated by you again. She is my daughter, and if you don't care about her, I do!"

After speaking, Sherman took Gianna and left.

Brenna's chest rose and fell with anger as she cursed, "How dare you! I am the head of this family! I make all the decisions here, and since she is a granddaughter of this family, she should obey me!"

Gianna stopped and turned to look at her. "No one can make decisions for me!"

"You!" Brenna wanted to curse at Gianna, but couldn't say anything too harsh in front of so many guests, and was momentarily speechless.

Gianna ignored her and turned to Lloyd. "Mr. Finley, there is only one condition for our engagement: the dowry must go to Mr. Geller, my father. Lady Geller did not raise me, so she has no right to get the dowry."

Lloyd smiled and said, "Okay!"

Brenna, Alisa, and everyone else were completely stunned.

Brenna was the first to react, and her voice rose unconsciously. "Engagement? You agreed to the engagement?"

Gianna smiled slyly. "Yes, I agreed a few days ago. The engagement will take place in ten days. Are you surprised? Did you expect this?"

Brenna felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head, leaving her completely dazed!

It turned out that when Lloyd said the engagement was postponed for ten days last time, they had actually rescheduled it for ten days later!

She had been foolish enough to think that Lloyd was interested in Alisa!

If she had known earlier, why bother with all the calculations? Now, both her reputation and dignity were completely ruined!

Gianna, this little bitch! She must have done this on purpose!

"Gianna! Grandma is your elder and has always been in charge of family matters. The dowry should be given to her, how can you ask Mr. Finley to give it to Dad?"

Alisa also regained her senses, her hands unconsciously clenched, and she felt as if her face was being slapped!

Gianna had clearly promised to engage with Lloyd, but remained silent, causing them to make such a big joke!

What's more important is that the dowry is not given to them!

How could this be acceptable?

"Yes!" Brenna immediately took over, "This is a big act of unfiliality!"

"Heh~" Gianna sneered, "Say whatever you want, this is how I am!"

Having said that, she turned around and walked away without even sparing them a glance.

She could leave decisively like this, and Brenna should really be grateful for giving birth to Sherman!

Otherwise!

The cost that they had to pay today would be more.

The whole farce has finally ended.

The crowds of onlookers dispersed.

Although Brenna repeatedly made it clear that this was a disgraceful matter for her family and asked everyone not to spread it, it was still exposed by someone to the media.

That night, the Geller family became the top trending topic on social media.

The video of Chace having sexual intercourse with the maid was also posted online with blurred images.

[The waters in the high society are so deep. Grandma drugging granddaughter, even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray such a thing, would they?]

[I wonder what was going through the mind of the old lady. It's obvious that her biological granddaughter is much more beautiful than the adopted one, isn't it? I can't believe she took the side of the adopted. It's like she's completely blind!]

[I really admire Ms. Geller. Even after being drugged, she remained calm and managed to find an antidote for herself. And as for Mr. Finley, despite being disabled, he proved himself to be a true gentleman and didn't take advantage of Ms. Geller when she was under the drug influence. If it were any other man in his position, he might not have been able to control himself.]

[Wow! Ms. Geller and Mr. Finley have won me over as their fans.]

At the same time, "enthusiastic netizens" have exposed Chace's private life.

[Oh my god! This isn't drugging, it's clearly an affair! Chace and the maid have been having an affair for a long time, and they even have a secret child who is already six years old.]

[Chace bought a house for the maid in a residential community. I often see him appearing in that area. I used to think it was a house he bought for himself, but I didn't expect it to be their love nest.]

[This mistress looks so plain! Is Chace blind? His wife is much more beautiful. He has such a beautiful wife but still keeps a mistress? Oh my god! The world of the rich is really beyond my comprehension.]

As Chace's affair was exposed on the Internet, the Geller family fell into a mess.

After waking up in the hospital, Libby saw the posts on the media and felt a surge of anger, and nearly couldn't calm down.

She smashed her phone and sat up to go find Chace for an explanation, "Chace, you bastard! Not only did you cheat on me, but you also raised a secret child out there. I'm going to kill you!"

Her mother, who was taking care of her in the hospital, hurriedly stopped her and said, "What we read online may not necessarily be true. Don't get too worked up. What if your husband is being falsely accused? Let's investigate first. If it is true that he has cheated, it's not too late to hold him accountable after that."

"Why bother investigating?" Libby couldn't help but burst into tears. "The photos of his cheating have already been exposed. The woman in his arms is the maid! They were having an affair right under my nose, and I was so stupid that I didn't even realize it!"

Libby felt like slapping herself in the face out of anger and frustration!

She and Chace were college classmates, and they dated for five years before getting married. They had always had a good relationship.

After she married into the Geller family, she has been taking care of all the household chores and trivial matters by herself, working hard to be a good wife.

However, she often had arguments with Chace because of Brenna.

Brenna was a person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Libby knew her plan to drug Gianna earlier and had opposed it, but it was useless.

Nevertheless, she had never doubted her husband's love for her!

She believed that Chace would never cheat on her.

However, the evidence before her slapped her in the face!

"The media always exaggerates things. Besides, even if he's cheating, we need evidence," Mrs. Heppel consoled in a low voice. "You should rest first. I'll have your father investigate and if your husband did something bad, Mom will make sure justice is served!"

Libby pondered for a moment and said, "Let my father conduct a paternity test on that child!"

"Okay."
