Chapter 113: The Adopted Daughter Turns Out to be an Ingrate
Translator: 549690339
“Did I have a reason when I hard Joshua?”
“When you dragged into being your accomplice, did you consider my reasons?”
Inside the room, Isabelle also felt resentful and whispered, “If you didn’t do anything wrong yourself, I wouldn’t have been able to make you an accomplice.
It’s all for your own selfish desires.”
Hearing this, Amanda stood still, her face pale and cold sweat seeping down her back.
She recalled one day when Gillian was talking on the phone and seed to have ntioned the words “silence soone.”
Who was she trying to silence?
She never expected that Gillian wanted to silence Joshua!
Why hurt Joshua? There was no other reason but the paternity test incident.
Gillian had always wanted to prevent Molly from returning ho.
What a vicious heart!
Rembering what Gillian did to Molly, Amanda felt a mix of shock and anger, making her whole body tremble.
She never would have guessed that the daughter they raised for years would beco ungrateful and turn against her biological daughter and son.
With her hand tightly gripping the doorknob, Amanda’s chest heaved violently,
and her head buzzed!
If she opened the door, the mother-daughter bond would shatter.
Leaving now would cover up the peace, but would endanger the family even more.
Amanda decided to break the silence.
She could not allow a woman with such a malicious heart to remain in the family.
She pushed the door open forcefully.
With a “click,” the door opened.
Gillian and Isabelle were startled by the sound.
“Mom!”
When Gillian saw Amanda, her face was filled with astonishnt, and her entire body seed to have lost its voice, her eyes widening with fear.
Isabelle also froze in place.
She quickly looked at the soulless Gillian, and a wave of pleasure rose from the bottom of her heart.
She had already gained a bad reputation, why should Gillian, her accomplice, avoid being tainted by it as well?
Now the retribution had co.
“Was the car accident with Joshua your doing?” Amanda approached Gillian and pressed her intensely for the answer.
Gillian’s lips moved, resembling a puppet that had lost its soul.
She realized that Amanda was no longer the insane woman she had been before.
She was cured of her illness.
Cured by Ivy.
Gillian clenched her teeth tightly, bowing her head.
She never expected to be caught red-handed. Her heart raced in fear.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it; I heard everything.” Amanda scolded coldly, “I can’t believe the person we’ve worked so hard to nurture turned out to be ungrateful. You don’t know gratitude and would even harm my children! ” The words “ungrateful” inflicted great pain on Gillian’s heart.
Her face turned pale as she looked up at Amanda, “Yes, you raised , but you never treated as your own, especially you. You always treated like an outsider! ”
“You adopted and gave a na that led to ridicule since I was a child.
You adopted to alleviate your guilt and fill the emptiness in your hearts. What right do you have to judge ?”
Gillian’s emotions surged, tears spinning in her eyes. Her gaze sharp, she spoke fiercely, “I knew that when Ivy ca back, everything that belonged to would be taken away, because the only child you ever acknowledged is her. I didn’t want her to co back. What’s wrong with planning ahead? Everyone knows that I, Gillian, am nothing more than a tool! A tool for longing for sister’s return!”
With a “slap,” Amanda raised her hand and slapped Gillian hard on the face.
Gillian covered her face and let out a miserable laugh, tears falling like beads.
Choking back sobs, she sobbed, “Well done! Anyway, I’m useless now. If you want to hit , just kill .”
Hearing her say she was useless, Amanda’s eyes fell on Gillian’s legs, her pupils trembling slightly.
It was her fault, too, that Gillian had ended up like this. Being sick for years, Gillian lacked motherly love and grew up to be selfish, thanks to the family’s indulgence.
But this wasn’t an excuse for her behavior.
Why didn’t Ivy, who had been raised by her grandmother, have a heart as vicious as this?
“It’s true; you’re adopted, and you don’t deserve to be a part of our family.” Amanda shook her head in disappointnt. “We don’t have such cruel people in our family.”
Gillian clenched her teeth, her heart aching.
Her eyes tightly shut, her shoulders shaking.
Pinching the soft spot between her thumb and forefinger, the pain finally brought her back to her senses.
“Yes, I’m not a Thompson, I’m the ungrateful adoptee.” A twisted smile crept across her wretched face, pulling her mouth into a sarcastic curve. “Now that you see clearly, what are you going to do? Send to the police station and have executed, repaying your upbringing.”
Hearing her words, Amanda’s anger gradually dissipated, replaced by disappointnt and sadness.
“You keep saying that we’re biased, but over the years, your dad and three older brothers have been good to you, haven’t they? They truly treated you as their own daughter and sister. Joshua has been protecting you since you were young. How could you do such a terrible thing? The one you pointed the sharp knife at was your own brother!”
“Has Joshua not been good to you?”
“Why did you want to harm him?”
“No, I didn’t intend to harm him!” Gillian Thompson defended herself passionately, her lips trembling like a sieve. “I didn’t want to…”
Thinking of Joshua’s kindness to her over the years, she covered her face and cried loudly: “I just didn’t want him to recognize Ivy as his sister. I never thought of harming him. I really didn’t want to hurt him.”
Recalling her brothers’ kindness towards her, Gillian wept ceaselessly with deep regret.
“Gabriel, you won’t have brothers anymore.”
Amanda Leaford’s words made Gillian’s cry stop abruptly.
No more brothers…
If the rest of the Thompson family found out about what she had done, they would definitely sever ties with her, and she would be kicked out of the family.
No one would pamper her anymore, including her most beloved second brother.
What would she have left without the Thompson family’s love?
Nothing.
Thinking about the consequences, Gillian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
“Gabriel, for the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, I hope you can turn yourself in.” Amanda’s eyes were full of mixed emotions. “Mom wants you to recognize your wrong and take responsibility for the mistakes you’ve made.”
Turn myself in?
Gillian looked up at her in shock.
Just then, Isabelle was walking toward Amanda, carrying a large vase.
Seeing Isabelle, Gillian’s eyes widened.
Isabelle sneered and t Gillian’s eyes with a sweet smile.
Turn herself in? How could that be possible?
She had finally gotten out, how could she let Gillian turn herself in?
Once Gillian turned herself in, everything she did would be exposed.
Dead without proving it, she should remain dead without any evidence.
It was too bad that Amanda showed up at an inopportune ti.
Isabelle smirked and raised the vase…
In a corner of the Gallagher family’s banquet hall, Daniel Thompson was having a drink with soone.
“Mr. Thompson, is it true that your wife has recovered from her illness?”
“I’ve seen such news on television before, but I didn’t expect there’d be such a miracle in real life.
“Congratulations!”
Daniel’s face was full of triumph, and he was in high spirits.
Since Amanda had recovered, he felt like he had regained the passion of his youth, and his whole spirit had improved.
“Indeed, my wife has recovered. Later, I’ll ask her to greet you all.” As he said this, he rembered that Amanda said she went to find Gillian.
Why haven’t they co back after so long?
Sohow, he felt a little uneasy.
Daniel frowned, just about to go find them himself when there was a “crash” sound from upstairs, like the sound of porcelain breaking.
A scream rang out.
Daniel’s face changed drastically, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground.
It was Gillian’s voice!
Molly Walker, Damian Thompson and the other two younger brothers dashed upstairs.
Inside the room, Amanda lay on the ground covered in blood, and Gillian crawled towards her.
“Mom!”
Gillian cried so heartbreakingly that it was hard for her to catch her breath.
Seeing this scene, Molly’s vision suddenly went black and a hand caught her.
“Be careful!” The voice was deep; it was Michael Gallagher.
Molly imdiately steadied herself, preventing herself from falling. She looked around and saw Isabelle standing nearby.
Feeling a fierce gaze, Isabelle quickly explained, “A vase was falling from the cabinet and was about to hit Gabriel, and Mrs. Thompson blocked it for her.”
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.
Looking at Gillian crying and gasping for breath, it couldn’t help but evoke emotion.
What a deep mother-daughter love….
