Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband
Chapter 85: A Fantastic Win - Cementing Herself as a Good Person

Everyone was completely shocked by Gianna's words.

Getting to the core of the matter revolving Florence, Gianna should be the biggest victim here. However, she was the one standing up for Florence too.

"Dad." Gianna tried to endure the pain on her back.

The pain was real.

Cameron really didn't hold back even if this was her daughter.

She continued, "We are all kind in heart when we are born. It's not entirely Florence's fault for becoming who she is today. We have showed too little of a concern for her, and our way of education is wrong too. Could it be that we never know the true longing of her heart? I don't think that Florence is the only one who should reflect on herself in this matter."

Her speech rendered Cameron speechless.

"Mum." Gianna called out to Caroline, "I know that you have sacrificed a lot for Florence, and you really do love her to the core. But do you really know what Florence wants? Florence just said that she couldn't live the life when everyone could go out and have fun and be themselves, no? Could it be that we have been too protective of her all along, which took away the chance for her to grow up independently? This might be the cause of her becoming such a twisted person like she is today."

Caroline was too unable to replace any words to respond to Gianna.

Was her love too heavy? Or she was ignorant of her daughter's need all along?

After getting reminded by Gianna, she started to think carefully about the way she used to treat Florence, about the righteousness of her actions.

"From when we were children, Florence had suffered too much because of her body, don't you agree? Do you really think things would change if you inflict even more damage to her body now? In my opinion, we should instead think of ways we can help her, and make sure she can return to being a normal, sane person. We shouldn't increase her hatred towards us!" Gianna spoke with sincerity.

Everyone seemed to be touched by Gianna's speech.

Even for Janice, who was always antagonistic towards Gianna was starting to respect this woman after a series of manoeuvring.

Not only she had exposed the ugly side of Florence this bitch, she had turn herself into the righteousness one, full of justice. She had won this match fantastically!

When she recalled all the years she was bullied by that bitch yet without an outlet to vent her sufferings, she used to be very depressed because of it.

She gnashed her teeth and tried to be unnoticeable to everyone.

At that moment, Florence didn't think that Gianna would come to her rescue.

Everyone chosen to be bystanders, yet Gianna, who she hated the most, had put in some words in her favour.

No.

She wouldn't accept.

She wouldn't accept Gianna's goodwill.

She didn't want everyone to think highly of Gianna!

When she was about to push Gianna away, Gianna whispered by her ears in the form of a warning, "If you really want to get beaten to death by dad, you can continue to dig your own grave."

In the eyes of the onlookers, Gianna looked like she was consoling Florence with her action of whispering by her ears.

Florence was indeed threatened by Gianna's words.

She was well aware that if she returned Gianna's kindness with vengeance, that would be the end of the amount of kindness and tolerance her family would show to her from that moment on. She might even die after a beating by her father!

She gritted her teeth.

She didn't think that Gianna would oppress her to such a degree.

Knowing well that Gianna was never sincere in her help with her motives of strengthening ties between herself and the other members and also gaining the favour of her parents as well as Kingsley, Florence in fact had no other way to stop her.

She was very hateful.

Yet she could do nothing at all.

"Florence, apologize to dad and mum now." Gianna urged Florence with a gentle expression.

It was true.

Gianna was on the receiving end of everything good here.

Now, she was just an unscrupulous, insidious, cunning and twisted existence. In contrast, Gianna appeared to be the bigger person here with her action of returning hatred with kindness.

She could imagine Gianna's status in the family from now on. She was practically shining brilliantly.

She could even imagine how well her parents would treat Gianna in the future!

Florence was super frustrated.

Yet, she had to appear to be sorry with the pressure given by Gianna, "I'm sorry, dad, mum. I am in the wrong here for disappointing you."

Cameron's temper was not so volatile anymore.

He even came to some enlightenment after hearing Gianna's words.

He replied Florence with poise, "What use is there for apologizing to me? You have hurt Gianna, not me. Apologize to her now!"

Florence bit very, very hard.

She turned to look at Gianna.

She could read on her face that a smile of amusement was hanging there.

She forced herself to say, "I'm sorry, Gianna. I won't do anything to you anymore. I won't... love Kingsley anymore.”

"It's fine." Gianna replied generously, "I know that you are liking Kingsley because you don't have many friends. When you can know other guys in the future, you won't be behaving like this anymore." Florence could only lower her head and nodded.

When she nodded, all of a sudden she felt her strength disappearing from her body. Her body crashed to the floor without warning.

Gianna managed to hold her.

Caroline finally couldn't suppress her feelings anymore since no matter what happened, Florence was still her daughter. No matter how angry and disappointed she was, she still felt genuine sympathy and worry.

"Florence..." Caroline gazed at her worriedly.

"Mum, can I get some rest now?" Florence was once again her feeble and pitiful self.

"Someone come help the miss to her room."

"Roger."

A few maids came forth and joined Caroline in helping Florence to upstairs.

After Florence was gone, the atmosphere in the hall finally softened.

"Gina, you should go back to your room and treat the wound on your back too." Evelyn said with concern.

At that moment, everyone finally remembered that Gianna was whipped hard earlier on.

Cameron appeared very guilty as he hastily offered, "Gina, daddy really put in too much strength just now. Faster get back to your room and let Kingsley to tend to the wounds, or if you need the hospital, we could send you..."

"It's alright dad, I can still stand the pain. It's not that painful." Gianna forced a smile.

She was trying to console him, which only made Cameron feel more sorry.

"I want to talk about Harriet before going back to my room." Gianna said bluntly.

The others looked at Gianna with doubt on their faces.

"No matter what happen to Florence, it still didn't wash away the fact that Harriet has done something unacceptable in the eyes of Florence. Putting aside the possibility of getting punished by her, Harriet herself might not be able to face her miss anymore from now on. Therefore, I propose to let Harriet leave the Walker family."

Cameron agreed to this suggestion, "I will reimburse Harriet with some money and allow her to leave us."

"Harriet has been a maid since young, and she doesn't have other skills. I know about her family situation and know that without this source of income, she won't be able to make ends meet for her family. So, I plan to hire Harriet to work for the Morris family." Gianna described her plan.

"That would appear to be the best possible scenario." Cameron was happy with the suggestion.

He couldn't help feeling impressed by Gianna's all-around ability when dealing with things.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
