Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 69 Who Was She

Chapter 69 Who Was She

Sherman was taken aback when Gianna suddenly mentioned her mother.

In all the time she had been back, she had never brought up her mother on her own, and he was afraid it would make her sad if she remembered her mother, so he didn't mention her mother either.

Sherman paused momentarily and said, "Your mother is very kind and righteous. She would sacrifice herself for others and put their needs above her own. In short, Gia, the person who loves you most in this world, is your mother. I can't compare to her even a little bit."

Sherman intentionally avoided going into too much detail when it came to Nora.

Perhaps he was afraid of stirring up painful memories for Gianna.

Gianna nodded in response to his answer and didn't ask any more questions.

However, Lloyd started to ponder. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sherman had been deeply fascinated with Nora to the point where he even stood up against Old Mrs. Geller back then. Despite such deep feelings, Sherman only described her as kind and righteous without hinting at romantic sentiment.

"Indeed, Nora... she's quite something!" Damian's expression darkened when they talked about Nora but quickly returned to normal. However, there was a trace of appreciation for Nora on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lloyd looked at Damian as if he had grasped the most crucial thing.

He had forgotten that his grandfather knew Nora.

His grandfather and Nora arranged the engagement between him and Gianna.

Damian's words took Gianna aback, and she paused for a moment.

She didn't know how her mother had met Damian, and her mother had never mentioned him to her.

Initially, she thought they had reached an agreement that led to her engagement with Lloyd. But now it seemed that Damian's relationship with her mother was more than just an acquaintance.

There was a deeper connection between them.

But why was Lloyd investigating her mother and the potion?

There were some things she didn't dare to delve into, as the more she probed, the more people would be implicated.

Gianna looked deeply at Lloyd and stood up. "I'm going to school."

Sherman was taken aback, "Go to school?"

He had been busy getting acquainted with his new company for the past few days and was unaware that Gianna had gone to Ranson High School to become a teacher.

"You... even when your daughter has been a teacher for two days, you don't even know it." Laney, who had finished washing the dishes, glared at Sherman and said, "Gia is now the homeroom teacher for Class 38 at Ranson High School. And in just one morning, she had already disciplined those students properly."

When Gianna first mentioned becoming a teacher, she and Sherman thought she was joking. But then, yesterday afternoon, Ms. Levine came to find Gianna, and after chatting for a while, Laney found out that Gianna had become a homeroom teacher of Class 18.

"What's more, Gia earns fifty thousand dollars a month, equivalent to your previous annual income at the Geller family's company."

"Really?" Sherman stood up excitedly and laughed, "Haha, I knew it! My daughter is the best. Who said my daughter is from the countryside and doesn't know anything? And my mother always compares Alisa to Gia. Now, Gia will be the teacher for her most proud granddaughter!"

Gianna replied, "...Mr. Geller, I'm just a substitute teacher for Class 18, not Alisa's teacher."

"It's all the same. Alisa still has to call you teacher!" Sherman laughed so much that his mouth couldn't close, "Oh, I can finally hold my head high. Alisa always talks down to me and looks down on Gia. She openly and secretly mocks Gia for not being as outstanding as her. Now I'll see how she continues to brag in front of me."

Gianna: "Alisa is your adopted daughter. Is it appropriate for you to say things like that?"

Laney patted Sherman and apologized to everyone, "Sherman has gone crazy with joy. Please don't mind him."

Sherman came to his senses and chuckled, "Sorry, sorry, I got carried away."

It wasn't that he didn't want his adopted daughter anymore after finding his biological daughter, but Alisa had been driving him crazy these past few years, especially after Gianna returned. Alisa had used various means to spite Gianna, which had infuriated him.

Now that he saw Gianna outshining Alisa, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Damian and Lloyd didn't say anything, but they felt that Sherman was truly being himself.

Gianna had to go to work, and Lloyd didn't have classes today, so he didn't need to attend school. He went back to the mansion with Damian.

Once they entered the mansion, Lloyd asked Damian, "Grandpa!"

"What's wrong?" Damian was in a good mood today, with a smile on his face as he spoke to Lloyd.

"Do you know Gianna's mother?" Lloyd's deep gaze fixed on Damian's face.

"Of course, I know her. How could I arrange an engagement without knowing her?" Damian chirped.

"How did you two meet?"

"That's a long story. Let me tell you..." Damian's smile suddenly faded as he caught the calculated look on Lloyd's face. He immediately changed the subject that would come out of his mouth. "Oh, my mind isn't working properly. I can't remember many things anymore. Uh-oh, I might be suffering from senile dementia. I should call Joey immediately and have him look at me."

"Yesterday, Joey gave you a full check-up and confirmed that you don't have senile dementia."

"Is that so?" Damian continued pretending. "Well, maybe his medical skills aren't that good. I'll have Gia look at me in a couple of days."

With that, he tried to go upstairs but was stopped by Lloyd. "Grandpa! Pretending won't work. This matter is critical, and you must explain it to me."

"You little rascal, how dare you force your grandpa!" Damian lay on the ground, kicking and screaming. "Look at this troublemaker bully me. Nobody supports me. His grandma, why did you leave me alone? After you left, this unruly grandson don't respect me anymore..."

"Oh, my life is so miserable. I'm old and still get beaten up by my grandson!"

Lloyd, "!!!"

Here we go again!

Crying, temper tantrums, and threatening suicide-will it ever end?

"When did I beat you?" Lloyd rubbed his temples, feeling speechless.

"You beat me to the ground and still say that you haven't beaten me? Are you a man? Dare to act but not admit it!" Damian perfectly demonstrated his tantrum skills.

Lloyd sighed lightly. "Stop it. It is not a joke. It concerns many people's lives."

"You stubborn kid. I said I forgot, but you insist on me telling you. So annoying!" Damian was very dissatisfied.

Through gritted teeth, Lloyd said, "If you don't tell me, I'll call the police to talk to you!"

"Then let me die. Damn it, Lloyd wants to send his grandpa to the police station just because his grandpa has senile dementia. His grandma, open your eyes and look at your good grandson..." Damian said as he tried to hit the wall.

"Stop!" Lloyd shouted, "Grandpa, I know you want to protect Nora. But do you want to harm Gianna? Have you ever considered that some things related to Nora may bring danger to Gianna?"

Damian immediately stopped.

He fell silent for a moment, then said with a severe expression, "It's not that I don't want to say, but I don't know much either. Nora saved our family's lives. I only know that she is capable. She won't let me know more. Lloyd, we owe her and must protect Gianna at all costs."

Lloyd stared at Damian for a long time and was sure he wasn't lying this time.

Who was Nora exactly?

If she saved the Finley family's lives, why doesn't he remember?
