Not only that, he acts like some stud, running around fathering kids everywhere. If I don’t keep my guard up. Vincent’s spot as heir could get snatched by one of his father’s illegitimate children!
“Mom. I really don’t want to marry Gianna…
”
“Enough, don’t bring it up again. You’re tied to Gianna for life!”
Before Vincent could finish his sentence, Diana cut him off.
She already had bigger and better plans in mind.
Maybe Gianna didn’t have Amelia’s skills, but she sure was lucky.
No matter how many times she made trouble, she always had a group of brothers to cover for her, and even Emery and Raymond cared about her.
Emery had said that Raymond would soon bring Gianna into the Nygard Group to gain some experience, and he would place her in a department with real authority.
Sometimes Diana honestly wondered if Gianna was actually Raymond’s secret daughter. Otherwise, how could he treat an adopted girl even better than his own child?
A lot of people in their social circle probably thought the same thing.
She’d secretly hired paparazzi to investigate, and nothing unusual ever turned up.
Plus, Raymond had always been known as one of the few good men in their circles, with zero rumors or scandals.
Otherwise, Emery would never trust him so much.
In their world, there were no real secrets.
If something had actually happened, the rumors would’ve been everywhere.
So Diana stopped worrying and figured Gianna was just ridiculously lucky.
“You don’t need to worry. Just focus on making Gianna happy. Win her over, and you’ll have the Nygards‘ support.”
“When you finally bring Gianna home and take over your father’s company, you won’t have to worry about finding better women.
“Just look at your dad. He’s the perfect example. Once he became the head of the Desters, he

had both power and romance, never missing an opportunity to fool around.
“And don’t forget, Gianna will join the Nygard Group soon. The Nygards spoil her, and they’ll never let her throw her future away for nothing.”
At this point, there really weren’t any better choices left. Gianna was the best option.
If they called off another engagement, no powerful family would ever want to marry their daughter into this mess.
“Yeah, I get it.”
Vincent wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find a single flaw in his mom’s logic.
In the end, he could only slink back to his room, feeling miserable.
Even though everything she’d said was right, he still felt obsessed with Amelia. He just couldn’t let her go.
I’m starting to wonder if that witch Amelia put some kind of spell on me. Why can’t I get over her?
Frustrated and with nowhere to vent, he ended up calling Marcelo.
They might have ended things as friends, but sometimes he still reached out to Marcelo when he needed help.
“Why are you calling me? Didn’t you say we were done? What do you want now?”
Vincent hadn’t even spoken yet when that annoying voice came through the phone.
What a petty, grudge–holding jerk!
Vincent complained to himself, then finally grumbled out loud, “Let’s grab a bite. I need to talk.”
“Please. If you just want to vent, say so. Otherwise, what’s left for us to talk about?”
Vincent couldn’t help but roll his eyes inside.
Why was this guy so annoying and long–winded?
“You coming or not? If not, I’m hanging up.”
Just as Vincent’s patience hit zero and he was about to hang up, Marcelo finally said,
“Fine, I’ll come.”
