Chapter 137
Christian’s face darkened with defiance. He let out a cold snort and walked around
Abigail without another word.
“Chris.” Daniella was clearly afraid of Stephen and immediately called out.
“What are you calling him for? Scared we’re going to eat you alive? If you’ve got nothing to hide, then come to the hospital with me and Ralph tomorrow Stephen kept the pressure on Daniella.
Daniella’s eyes filled with tears as she put on the most pitiful act she could manage. “Stevie, do you really have to be so aggressive?” She choked out between sobs.
“Come on. I’m just asking you to get a checkup. How is that being aggressive? Weren’t you the one who told everyone in this family that you had depression?” Stephen was so frustrated he almost laughed.
He couldn’t understand it. If Daniella was really sick, getting a simple test to prove it would be the easiest thing in the world. Unless she’d been lying this whole time.
Wyatt watched Daniella bite her lip and cry. “Dani, you haven’t actually been lying to us, have you?”
That question hit home, and even Bianca’s expression started to shift. “Did you really use a mental illness to deceive us?”
Daniella stammered, “I… I thought I really had it at the time, and the hospital didn’t exactly give me an official diagnosis-*
“I’m only asking you one thing. Did you take the medication they prescribed?” Bianca cut her off. When the doctor had written the prescription, he’d warned them about side effects like weight gain and skin problems.
But Daniella had never shown any side effects all these years.
Bianca had assumed Daniella just had a strong constitution and took good care of herself, but now it was obvious she’d been lying the whole time.
“Mom, I did take it! You even saw me take it sometimes,” Daniella sobbed. Being interrogated by everyone like this made her feel like she was
suffocating.
Abigail twisted open her water bottle and took a sip. She noticed Christian was still staring at her, so she looked back at him.
Christian wasn’t helping Daniella, not because he didn’t want to, but because there was no way to defend her in this situation. She’d lied about so many things and even deceived Bianca. ‘How could I possibly speak up for her now?‘ he thought.
Bianca shook her head. “Do you think your body can handle the hormonal chaos those herbal supplements would cause? I never questioned you before because I loved you and trusted you completely. But what have you been doing? Don’t I deserve your honesty at least once?”
Stephen immediately pushed her back. “Don’t try that pitiful act on Mom anymore. We brought this ungrateful brat into our home, and it’s our own fault!”
“Are you really going to act like the victim here? We’ve raised you in the Gibson family for years, given you the best of everything, and this is what we get? A pathological liar?”

“Stevic, I really messed up. I’ll never do it again…” Daniella was crying so hard she looked like she might pass out, tears streaming down her fare.
