Chapter 919:

Jessica scoffed and continued playing a game on her phone, but Gianna suddenly suggested, “Perhaps we could explore a marriage alliance.”

The moment she made the proposal, Gianna found herself the focus of incredulous looks from both Jessica and Conroy.

“With whom?” Conroy asked, his voice laced with disbelief. “At this point, my situation is so desperate that no family would want me as a husband.”

Gianna’s face darkened. “Who said I’m talking about you?”

“Don’t you feel ashamed thinking about this at your age?” Jessica snapped. The moment she stopped speaking, she sprang to her feet and exclaimed, “You’re the one who should feel ashamed! You’ve never shown me any love since the day I was born. Now that you’re being ousted from the Vazquez family, do you expect me to marry for wealth just so you can maintain your luxurious lifestyle?”

“What are you talking about?” Gianna retorted icily. “Regardless of my flaws, I’m still your mother, the person who brought you into this world. Haven’t I done everything for your sake?”

Jessica’s expression twisted into a sneer, her words dripping with sarcasm. “Spare me the theatrics. You’re just refusing to face reality! Do you think I want to be your daughter? To everyone else, I’m just an illegitimate child. I hate you!”

With that, she snatched a cup from the table and hurled it straight at Gianna.

Conroy was about to rise and intervene, but he instinctively sat back down, dodging the flying cup.

Seeing Conroy about to rise, Gianna let her guard down. She hadn’t expected him to quickly sit back down, leaving her unprepared for the cup. The cup hit her face directly.

Don’t miss fresh updates on gαℓησν𝑒ℓs․cøm “Ah!” Gianna cried out, clutching her forehead as blood trickled down. Conroy’s eyes widened in shock, and he leaped to his feet, exclaiming, “What are you two doing? Gianna, you’re bleeding! Let’s go to the hospital now!”

Jessica let out a disdainful snort, spun on her heel, and stormed upstairs, leaving Conroy to take Gianna to the hospital by himself.

When Leyla had retired to bed the previous night, Bryan had not been there, so his presence in the Vazquez Mansion the next morning left her momentarily stunned. Then she realized what had happened.

With a knowing smile, she asked, “I didn’t hear your driver park the car. Where did you leave your car?”

“It broke down halfway,” Bryan shifted slightly, looking a bit uneasy. “I wouldn’t have shown up here in the dead of night if it wasn’t necessary.”

“You entered Eileen’s room, so you didn’t disturb me,” Leyla glanced around the living room and only saw Bryan and Gabriela. She quickly understood something. She summoned the servant and instructed, “Prepare breakfast, but set aside a portion for my granddaughter.”

“It’s still quite chilly, even though it’s May,” the servant remarked. “The portion might get cold quickly.”

“A cold breakfast can be reheated, but lost sleep can’t be easily made up for,” Leyla said jokingly.

Bryan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
