Chapter 42 The Truth
It was Monday today. Many people in the community were about to work at this time. There were four households on this floor. Because of Chace, all of them opened their doors and came out.
"What's wrong with you? This is a private residence instead of a food market. Please keep quiet!"
"Where is the security guard? Who allowed them in? I worked late yesterday. I was extremely cheesed off to be woken so early!"
"Be quiet! If you are deaf to advice, I will call the police!"
Hearing neighbors' complaints, Sherman apologized to them one after another, then pulled Chace into his house.
"Chace, what do you want to do?" Sherman frowned.
"Don't you know?" Chace roared with an ugly expression. "Stop acting the fool! Sherman, she is your daughter. She philtered me and disseminated those photos. She wants me to die!"
"You'd better guard your tongue!" When Sherman was about to say something, Laney spoke sternly, "Yesterday, it was you who put philter in Gia's beverage, but you didn't expect to have bad luck. Now you're blaming her? She is only nineteen years old, and you falsely accused her. What do you mean?"
"Laney, shut up! Who do you think you are? You don't have the right to speak here! You think you're a member of the Geller family because you married my brother?"
"Shut the hell up!" Sherman suddenly shouted, "She's my wife! How could you humiliate her?"
He didn't want to quarrel with Chace openly. Anyway, they were brothers, but how could he insult his wife in front of him?
Chace didn't expect his brother to get angry with him. After all, Sherman was good-tempered at ordinary times. He was absent-minded for a while and said, "How dare you speak to me like that? You've been bewitched by Laney and Gianna!"
"Chace! I had already made it clear to mom yesterday. From now on, we will not interfere with each other. You should not go to my house. You are not welcome here!"
Sherman had never behaved so toughly. He said clearly and seriously, "As for the matter that you were philtered, that has nothing to do with Gia. You should question mom! If she hadn't asked Alisa to put philter in Gia's beverage, such a thing wouldn't have happened. Moreover, you must have known it ahead of time. Gia is a victim, and you have no right to scold her!"
Chace was temporarily speechless owing to Sherman's words.
He did have known about Brenna's plan a long time ago.
He had also helped her with that.
But he didn't expect that the philter would be taken by himself. Lots of people had witnessed he and Stacy making love.
Stacy was the nanny last night.
Chace had been hiding their relationship from others, and no one had discovered it before.
However, after last night, this matter was exposed to the media. He couldn't cover it up. Most importantly, Libby even went to do a paternity test for the child and confirmed that the child was his biological son. Hence she made up her mind to divorce him and demanded compensation.
Libby's family were all in Geller's villa, demanding a solution to this matter.
He was extremely anxious and had no choice but to find Gianna.
He said, "I don't care. It is because of Gianna that Libby wants to divorce me. She must go to explain it to Libby clearly. Otherwise, you will have a hard time too."
"You!" Sherman was startled by his attitude and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Gianna sneered, "What do you want me to explain?"
"You should..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gianna interrupted him, "You mean you didn't cheat on Libby, or you didn't have an illegitimate child, or you didn't take your mistress into the Geller family?"
"I..." Chace blushed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You're too greedy. You not only want Libby to maintain your dignity, but also want your mistress to enjoy the treatment of your wife. Don't take Libby as a fool."
The news about Chace's love affair was not exposed by Gianna and she also disdained to do such a disgraceful thing.
"You bastard! I'm your uncle. How dare you talk to me like that?" Chace couldn't find a reason to refute Gianna's words, so he became angry from embarrassment.
"I not only dare to speak to you like this, but also dare to poison you again!" Gianna's eyes became cold as ice and her voice also turned cold. "Do you want to feel it again?"
"You bi*ch!" Chace pointed at her. "You put the philter. You scumbag!"
He raised his hand and wanted to hit Gianna. However, as soon as he lifted his hand, his body suddenly crumpled.
He fell down and sat on the ground. Furthermore, he had no strength to stand up.
Staring at Gianna, he gritted his teeth. "What did you do to me?"
Sherman and Laney were both stunned by this scene.
They would never have thought that Chace had been really philtered by Gianna.
What was even more shocking was that just as Chace was about to hit Gianna, Sherman instinctively wanted to protect her and saw Chace fall without warning.
They didn't notice Gianna do anything. She didn't have lifted her hand from beginning to end.
What happened?
Was Gianna a ghost?
Gianna was speechless.
Actually, she had raised her hand.
Otherwise, how could she put the poison on Chace?
It was just because she had done it so quickly that few people could see her movement clearly.
Gianna squatted in front of Chace and looked at him calmly. "I don't like to return good for evil. Instead, I'm interested in revenge. Chace, did you remember you came to my mother's room and wanted to rape her when I was five years old?"
"What?" Sherman suddenly widened his eyes and quickly stepped forward, anxiously asking, "Gia, is that true? He..."
Chace felt shocked as well. He didn't expect that Gianna would know about it.
Gianna sneered and looked down at Chace. "If it hadn't been for Libby's sudden appearance, you would have succeeded, right?"
Back then, her mother had concealed her identity in the Geller family for some reason. She had never exposed the fact that she knew martial arts and medical skills. Accordingly, the whole Geller family only regarded her as a rural woman who knew nothing.
Therefore, when Chace wanted to do frivolous behaviors to her, she just dodged.
In fact, if Chace hadn't stopped, she would have killed him directly and no one would have known who the murder was.
Chace should be grateful that Libby happened to appear at that time and hence saved his life.
Of course, Libby didn't see that scene. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"You!" Chace opened his mouth with fear. "How did you know that?"
Gianna gave him a bright smile and said, "I was behind the door!'
Her smile made people present shiver!
