Chapter 524 The Betrayal

In the end, between being a member of the Nygards and protecting Gianna, Maxwell chose the family without a second thought.
Gianna collapsed onto the floor. Her face went pale. She held the DNA test report tightly in her hands, her fingers turning pale from squeezing it so hard.
She could not believe it. The Nygards’ bloodline, which she had always been proud of, was a complete lie.
Regina, her mother, who always said she loved her and planned everything for her, had been lying to her from the very beginning.
No way. She refused to believe Regina would lie to her about something like this.
There had to be some special reason behind it.
Gianna didn’t say a single word. Staying there felt pointless now.
She turned around and ran out of the hospital.
She was going home to ask Regina for the truth!
Raymond didn’t care whether she asked Regina or not.
After he finished dealing with everything here, he would settle things with Regina himself.
After Gianna left, Maxwell was still confused. He asked, “Dad, is this really true?”
Raymond said, “Is it true or not? You saw it with your own eyes.
“Maxwell, even though you’re the dumbest of the four siblings, you still need to use your brain sometimes and think about what led to this.”
Maxwell was speechless.
Fine. In the end, he just wanted to point out that he was the dumbest one.
Maxwell felt like he got blamed even though he did nothing.
“Amelia, are you coming home to eat with us?”
Raymond didn’t bother answering him. Instead, he looked at his daughter with hope in his eyes.

“No. I still have things to do,” Amelia replied.

Amelia, who had been quiet the whole time, clearly saw the hopeful look on his face.
Even though she felt Raymond had changed a lot lately, she still turned him down.
What happened at the hospital today did not surprise her at all.
What she did not expect was that he would choose this moment, this place, and this way to reveal that Gianna was not his biological daughter.
He must have known that once he said it himself, Gianna would rush back right away to confront Regina.
Wasn’t he worried that Regina would grow suspicious?
After holding it in for so many years, why did he suddenly stop holding back?
Or did he have another plan?
At this moment, Amelia found him harder and harder to understand.
Raymond said, “Then hurry back and get some good rest. Your mom and Miguel will still need to rely on you for a while.
“When you feel like coming back someday, then come back. We’ll always welcome you. I’ll tell your brothers and your mom the same thing.”
Raymond seemed to have guessed that she wouldn’t agree to come back today.
He felt disappointed, but not too much. It was something he could handle.
Amelia opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.
In the end, she did not respond at all. She turned around and walked
away.
If Raymond had said these words back when she first left the Nygard Residence and cut all ties, she might have been deeply moved.
But now, these words came too late, and their impact was much weaker.
Even so, Amelia did not know why, but she felt something hard to explain in her heart.
She felt that by refusing this time, she might regret it one day.
Then she asked herself, what was there to regret?

Had she not already made up her mind when she left the Nygards? Hadn’t she decided to cut everything clean and never let her feelings be shaken again?
