All Novel Sweet
Chapter 58
Gig despised Nadine for many reasons. She harbored resentment toward Nadine for marrying her brother and effectively replacing Jean, the woman she had always felt close to.
Whenever Nadine was around, her father and grandfather turned cold toward her. She resented Nadine for taking away her father’s and grandfather’s love
It felt as if Nadine was their biological daughter, while Gigi was an outsider. From that moment, a seed of resentment toward Nadine sprouted in her.
Whenever the three men were away, she would bully Nadine. After all, this stupid woman wouldn’t dare complain to Gigi’s grandfather, so she took full advantage of the situation.
In the dead of winter, she forced the heavily pregnant Nadine to kneel outside the door. She not only demanded meals cooked by Nadine herself but also never stopped badmouthing her to the rest of the family.
Similar incidents happened repeatedly.
Seeing Nadine’s unwavering response, she eventually grew bored and stopped after a while. Only then did she calm down.
However, she still frequently attacked Nadine verbally, deriving great pleasure from it.
She had bullied Nadine for five years, and this was the first time she had ever witnessed Nadine fight back. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She’d always considered Nadine weak and easily bullied. The Hamilton family’s maids even tormented her with impunity. Therefore, she never took her sister in law seriously.
Not until today, after experiencing Nadine’s shoulder throw, did she realize Nadine was never a weak sheep to be slaughtered.
Seeing her brother come downstairs, she immediately burst into tears.
“Brad, I’m your sister! This woman just bullied me. Aren’t you going to do something about it? Look at how she threw me! Now, my back is killing me.
“Oh, Mom! Help me up! My back hurts so bad! Where’s the doctor? Did you call the doctor?”
The maid hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes. We did. The doctor is on his way. It won’t be long. Ms. Hamilton. Please bear with it a little longer. He’ll be here soon.”
Seeing her daughter in tears from the pain, Evelyn couldn’t be bothered to argue with Nadine anymore. She quickly helped Gigi up and gently asked, “Gigi, where exactly does it hurt? Is it serious? Did you break a bone? Let me help you onto the couch, alright?”
Gigi gasped in pain several times before finally relenting. “Fine, help me sit down.”
However, before she could even settle onto the couch, she let out a shriek.
“Ah! I can’t sit down! It hurts too much! Help me up!” Evelyn and the maids had no choice but to help her up again.
Nadine knew that Brad hated her. He hated her so much that even the way she breathed seemed to grate on him
Therefore, despite being confronted with Evenlyn and Gigi’s accusations, she didn’t even bother to explain. She simply lifted her chin high, looked out the window, and remained silent.
What was there to explain? Brad wouldn’t believe her anyway. Brad prioritized everyone over his wife. Explaining herself would only make her appear guilty.
Despite the torrent of accusations from Evelyn and Gig, Nadine remained silent, offering neither a comment nor a glance in his direction. This infuriated Brad.
As he stepped out of the second floor, he witnessed several female bodyguards from the Hamilton family restraining her.
He also heard Gigi’s verbal abuse. He wondered why she didn’t stand up for herself and reveal the truth. If he were the one being falsely accused, he would definitely cripple the other person. Even if he didn’t kill them, he would leave them half–dead.
Since Nadine remained silent, he had no choice but to ask, “Don’t you have anything to say?” Even he didn’t notice the subtle gentleness and flicker of anticipation in his voice.
Nadine heard the softness in his voice, but she wasn’t prepared to say much. She gave him a cold look and said, “I have nothing to say! Your sister was acting like a bitch, and I couldn’t control myself. That’s all.
Until now, Brad hadn’t lost his temper with her yet, which greatly puzzled her.
