The family had hoped that if Gianna showed real remorse, maybe she could win back a bit of respect for admitting her mistakes and changing her ways.

But no one expected things to end up like this.

It was obvious that Gianna had done everything on her own, without telling any of her brothers.

She must’ve sneaked around behind their backs, too scared to say anything.

Now that Emery and the other Nygard brothers found out, they were in shock.

Gianna had always seemed so kind and gentle–they couldn’t believe she’d done something like this.

Even though the news was hard to accept, the fact was that Gianna was now injured and in the hospital. The whole family felt a heavy knot of worry in their chests.

In a panic, they grabbed their coats, barely putting them on straight, and rushed out the door toward the hospital.

Right now, everyone had the same thought. How is Gianna? Is she badly hurt? Is she in danger?

No one wanted to think about why she’d done it yet.

All that mattered was seeing her and knowing she was okay.

Inside the VIP room, Gianna had secretly taken a healing pill Regina had given her, something way more powerful than any hospital medicine.

After swallowing it, the sharp, tearing pain in her body quickly faded.

That was why she’d dared to pull off her little “innocent victim” act in the first place.

Even though the pain was mostly gone, she still pretended to look weak and fragile.

Right now, only Marcelo was in the room with her. Instinctively, she wanted comfort—a gentle hug, maybe a few soft words.

So she turned toward him, her voice trembling sweetly.

“Marcelo … everything hurts, and I feel so sad.”

Her tone had that soft, whiny edge, full of helplessness and wounded charm.

Her weak, shaky voice carried an innocent sadness that made anyone listening feel a stab of sympathy.

Every word was like a sugar–coated hook, lightly tugging at the heart and making the listener want to protect her and listen more.

Gianna remembered how Marcelo had defended her earlier, so she dared to act spoiled again, hoping to win his pity.

“Heh.”

But instead, she heard a cold, cruel laugh.

The sound sent a chill straight down her spine.

Before she could even call out his name again, a strong hand suddenly wrapped around her neck.

“Gianna, stop pretending in front of me.”

The voice was Marcelo’s–cold, sharp, and filled with disgust.

Gianna froze, eyes wide with shock. She clawed at his wrist, trying to break free, but his grip was like steel.

Her breathing turned ragged, her face pale with fear.

…

“M–Marcelo … w–what are you talking about I don’t understand… ” She gasped, her voice hoarse as she struggled for air.

Marcelo’s face showed no hint of compassion. His eyes were dark, staring into hers like he could see straight through her lies.

“Cut the act, Gianna. I see through all your tricks now.

“Only Miguel and Maxwell would still believe your nonsense like a bunch of idiots.

“I used to think you were just obedient and sweet, but you’ve been scheming all along.”

Marcelo looked at her, remembering how easily she’d fooled him before.

Now that he finally saw things clearly, all the pieces fell into place, and it made him furious.

Gosh, I was so blind!
