On their way back home, Gianna continued saying to Fiona with a serious look, âMom, besides stop obeying granny blindly, you donât have to tolerate Uncle Abbott and his family all the time.â
Fiona smiled in the grievance. âYour dad doesnât want to cause a family conflict either. According to the rules, the right of inheritance of the Morrisâs 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.â
âBut that shouldnât be the excuse Uncle Abbott and his family treating us badly. Mom, we have a wrong mindset in the past, that itâs 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 wasnât the eldest son unable to inherit the property but the second son?â
Fiona was startled. She had not thought about that indeed.
âThatâs because the eldest son is useless and is incapable to hold responsibility for the family, thatâs why grandpa chose my dad. Not only that we shouldnât feel guilty, but we should also be proud that weâre the ones who supported the family business. The Morrisâs, including Uncle Abbott, should show gratitude towards us instead of teasing and treating us badly.â
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, âSo mom, be confident when you face them. Or else theyâll think theyâre the right ones!â
âOkay.â Fiona agreed. âIndeed, giving in not only wonât appease them, but itâll also even encourage them to bully us further.â
âMy momâs smart as expected!â Gianna praised her.
Fiona smiled lovingly. âHavenât you already showed that clearly to me from your behavior today?â
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 Morrisâs 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, Gemmaâs plan was not made for Helenâs benefit.
Everything she did was to bring Helenâs down.
Gianna let out a grim smile.
Thankfully she was reborn, so she could know everyoneâs nature and utilize their evil and cunning mind to achieve her purpose.
After all, it was not easy to find Caesarâs 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 Fionaâs surprise, Alexander also came back when they returned home.
He was still a little surprised when he saw them going out together. âWhere have you gone this early morning?â
âGrannyâs house,â Gianna replied.
Alexanderâs facial expression clearly changed and he said slightly sternly, âWhy didnât you inform me? I should have kept you company.â
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 Kennedyâs to doom them to death!
Gianna did not utter a word.
Fiona smiled and said, âGo focus on your work in the future, you no longer have to worry about anything in the family.â
Alexander was clearly baffled.
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.
âOh yes, why did you suddenly come back? Has anything gone wrong?â Fiona digressed.
Alexanderâs mind was initially full of questions, having remembered something, he did not ask further and answered instead, âOsmond asked us to go have lunch at the Kennedyâs house this noon to talk about Gina and Caesarâs marriage next month.â
As he said, he glanced at Gianna.
Gianna smiled and said with composure, âWe should go.â
âHavenât you decided to cancel the marriage?â Alexander could not help but ask.
âThatâs what is going to happen afterwards. Weâll now do anything the Kennedyâs asks and cooperate with them fully...â
They should act according to their wish so they would be more embarrassed when their plans backfire afterwards.
âAlright.â 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 Kennedyâs villa.
Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, Caesar, and Caesarâs younger sister, Bernice Kennedy were all welcoming them at the villaâs entrance with enthusiasm.
Gianna used to think the Kennedyâs 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 Kennedyâs 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 Kennedyâs seemed to have displayed their greatest hospitality.
âWe 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 weâre a little excited for it too, thatâs why we choose to meet you today. I hope it doesnât affect you!â Osmond spoke and he looked totally like an honest guy.
Gianna let out a grim smile.
She was afraid that the Kennedyâs had other thoughts in mind when their reputation was damaged and their stock market dropped yesterday.
âWeâre all family. You donât have to be so courteous!â Alexander had been in the business world for decades and he was a natural at communicating with people. âWith my age, Iâve handed all the work to my subordinates. Why should I care so much about it now?â
âIâll help Uncle Alex with the work in the future,â Caesar quickly spoke and he behaved courteously.
âThatâs what Iâm waiting for. Iâll expect you to take good care of the Morrisâs business after you marry Gina,â Alexander said with a carefree look.
Gianna smiled.
Her father was actually good at acting too.
âDonât worry, uncle, Iâll definitely give my best.â Caesar was brimmed with joy when he heard him say that.
