Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 42

Gianna responded to Caesar’s insincere talk.

She went back to the villa.

In the living room, Fiona had gotten nervous, “Gina, where did you go last night? Your father and I nearly called the police.”

“I got drunk with Maureen last night and stayed at her house.” Gianna lied.

In her previous life, she had been so naïve and would never lie nor harm anyone, and defenceless.

In this life, she had to learn to be adaptable.

She felt okay to tell some white lies.

“Geez. Why did you guys get so drunk? You don’t look good today.” Fiona was relieved to see her come back safely, despite being worry about her too.

“Where’s Dad?” Gianna changed the subject.

“He’s gone to work.” Fiona said, “There are so many things to do at the company. He can’t be away all the time.”

Gianna nodded.

However, she started to plan something at that moment.

“Are you looking for him?” Fiona asked, looking at Gianna, who was pondering.

“Nope.” Gianna shook her head, “Speaking of which, mum, have you seen the news today?”

“What news?”

“Haven’t you watched it? Let me show you.” Gianna hurriedly opened her phone and showed her the news, “See?”

Fiona took a look.

The big headline read “Low-profile Noblewoman Fiona Ross: Reacquaint Yourself With The Real High Society.”

On the newsfeed were a picture of Fiona’s stunningly beautiful face and that perfect body.

Fiona felt shy.

After all, she had never shown her face in public like this before for so many years. Last night, she felt like she was dreaming, being complimented, noticed, and envied.

She felt proud for the first time.

Her heart was even still pounding for a long time until now.

“I won’t say much about the news content, just some high-sounding descriptions. Let me read you the comments below.” Gianna was actually in a good mood.

In the limo on her way back, she read the news after hanging up Caesar’s phone and saw her mother’s headline news.

She was the one who had deliberately arranged the news, but it had nothing to do with her that the news had so many reactions.

She cleared her throat and read the comments.

“That’s what you call a surprise. Those trophy wives who used to flaunt their wealth, beauty, and love, don’t they feel ashamed?”

“The first noblewoman in Kouby City is none other than Fiona.”

“Who said that Mrs. Morris was born into a humble family and was not treated well? Let me ask those girls who were born into a wealthy family, will you still be able to have such a grand birthday party under your name years later?”

“Don’t fool me. This woman is clearly only 30 years old…”

“Gina.” Fiona suddenly interrupted her.

Gianna was still reading happily at the moment.

She raised her head and saw that Fiona’s eyes were red.

Gianna hurriedly said with concern, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“I feel that you have grown up.” Fiona smiled with teary eyes, “You even know to give me a surprise.”

Gianna was stunned.

“It was you that prepared the birthday banquet last night, right?” Fiona said straightforwardly.

“It was Dad’s thought too.”

“I always thought I didn’t care about all the fame, status or wealth. I thought I just needed to have a good time with you and your father, the three of us being together. But last night, I admit I was so happy to be the centre of attraction for everyone. And I just realized that even women have vanity…”

“It was Dad and me who neglected your feelings.” Gianna wiped the tears from her mother’s eyes.

“Gina.” Fiona looked at her daughter, “Thank you so much.”

“Mom.” Gianna held her hands tightly and said firmly, “From now on, I will make our family better! Letting those who once looked down on us be out of our league!”

Fiona was stunned by Gianna’s determination.

And she smiled the next moment gently.

In the future.

Fiona would never lower herself like this again, as well letting her daughter pressure herself so much!

…

In the Kennedy family…

Caesar turned gloomy instantly after he finished talking to Gianna on the phone.

Of course he couldn’t possibly go to work at the company.

It was true that he had indulged too much last night, resulting in no spirit at all today.

Just now, he was forcing himself to call Gianna, just to play with her mind…

That fool woman. She believed everything with just some sweet words.

He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

“Ah!” Lindsay suddenly let out a scream.

Caesar looked at his mother, “What’s wrong?”

“What do you mean the first noblewoman in Kouby City is none other than Fiona? Then what am I? What am I?” Lindsay read the comments on her mobile phone, and she had blown the gasket.

Caesar looked terrible, too, at the moment.

He was irritated when thinking of the Morris family making the news last night.

After all.

He and Gianna were getting married soon.

The Morris family had thrown such a grand party before their wedding. Were they attempting to make him plan a big lavish wedding?

He didn’t want to waste too much on Gianna!

“Mom, I want to kill Gianna, that bitch!” Bernice was also on the sofa at the moment, and her eyes were all puffy.

It was said that she had been crying since she left the Morris family banquet yesterday.

She had cried for the whole night and only settled down slightly this morning.

But when she thought of the mess she was in last night, she couldn’t help but gnash her teeth, hating to cut Gianna dead.

She didn’t even know how to mix in high society in the future.

She didn’t even dare to leave the house now or even showing up in those groups she usually chatted with for fear of being brought up for yesterday’s embarrassment.

“What’s the hurry!” Lindsay was also in a bad mood.

She had never imagined that Fiona would crush her to this extent one day.

In her mind, the only person who could compete with her among the gentry in Kouby City, or even the entire Country B, was Caroline, Mrs. Walker. Caroline also had an advantage because the Walker family was ranked first. When her son embarked on the family’s path, it was not a matter of being crushed by her soon.

Yet now.

Fiona, an ordinary person, had stolen the show.

She just couldn’t let it go.

She recalled herself giving Fiona a bracelet that didn’t match her at all last night and also contrasted it with Caroline’s gift. She even heard someone in the banquet saying that she was hypocritical, having no taste, and insincere…

Lindsay looked terrible and said viciously, “When Caesar married Gianna, I’ll have thousands of ways to torture her to death!”

“Me too!” Bernice looked vicious and even reminded Caesar, “Caesar, don’t be soft-hearted when the time comes!”

“Being soft-hearted?” Caesar sneered as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever.

For that woman that he didn’t love at all, he wanted her to die as quickly as possible after he was done using her!
