Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 26: Provoking Discord

“Can’t you be more serious?” Gianna was shy because of what Kingsley called her.

This man can say anything without feeling guilt or shame.

Gianna had even heard Kingsley calling people ‘babe’.

Gianna said she didn’t mind.

After all, they were eyeing the greater benefits.

“Did you misunderstand the difference between being serious or not?” Gianna loved the way Kingsley talked when he was smiling. It made his voice sounded pleasing.

Gianna frowned.

Kingsley was still smiling, “I’ll let you know next time.”

“Kingsley,” Gianna called Kingsley’s name before he hung up the phone.

“Yes?”

“Don’t forget our date tomorrow.”

“I’ll be there as long as you’ll be there.”

It sounded like Kingsley was giving Gianna a commitment.

Gianna replied without thinking much, “See you tomorrow.”

“See you.”

Gianna hung up the phone.

The next second, the phone rang again.

Gianna’s expression changed. She took the call, “Caesar.”

“Bernice told me that you beat her up,” Caesar said in an interrogative tone after Gianna’s picked up the phone.

Gianna could hear Bernice’s voice over the phone saying, “And Maureen. I have aches all over. Caesar, you have to stand up for me.”

Gianna replied coldly, “Caesar, you’ve known me for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? When did you ever see me beaten up anybody?”

Caesar was stunned.

He didn’t know how to answer Gianna’s question.

“Ask yourself. Haven’t I treat your sister well enough? When did I not helping her or give her what she wanted? If I didn’t stop Maureen when we’re in school, they ought to fight for the hundredth time by now. And now you’re questioning me? How do you want me to answer you?”

Gianna sounded livid.

Caesar remained silent.

“I have nothing to say if you trust your sister more. You’re free to believe what you want to,” Gianna wanted to hang up the phone.

“Gina,” Caesar could feel Gianna’s fury over the phone. He quickly stopped her from hanging up the phone, “It’s not what you think. Bernice came home with wounds on her face. I feel sorry for her. I know who you are. You wouldn’t have beaten Bernice.”

“Caesar, it’s real. Gianna and Maureen attacked me. How else would I get hurt? It was her!” Bernice was screaming over the phone.

“Enough. Gianna won’t do that to you. Shut your mouth,” Caesar scolded Bernice.

“It’s her. Caesar, I’m telling you. It’s her! Why didn’t you believe me?” Bernice was triggered.

Gianna said coldly, “Well, I didn’t stop Maureen.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Caesar fed up having Bernice screaming beside him.

He walked to a quieter corner, “Why didn’t you? You know Bernice couldn’t stand feeling offended.”

Caesar sounded like he was complaining.

Gianna sneered.

Can’t stand feeling offended? Who did Bernice think she was?

Gianna replied, “Your sister said you didn’t like me at all and that you’re dumping me. She also asked me to stop dreaming about our wedding next month.”

Caesar was triggered, “Nonsense. Don’t listen to her.”

“Caesar, marriage is a big matter between two families. I don’t want to be the reason to cause discord between you and your family. I know you have been spoiling your sister, and I treated her sincerely, but your sister obviously didn’t like me. If that’s the case, should we call off our wedding?”

“What are you thinking? My sister likes you,” Caesar quickly explained, “She said what she said because she was mad at Maureen. Bernice has been telling me how much she likes you and how happy she is to have you as her sister-in-law.”

“I understand where you’re coming from, but it hurts to hear what Bernice said.”

“Gina, my sister got mad, and she wasn’t thinking straight. Be good. You’re not the petty type of girl. Stop overthinking.”

“Probably because I cared too much, and that’s why I was hurt,” Gianna wasn’t compromising.

Caesar understood Gianna’s implications, “Is your mother’s birthday tomorrow?”

“Yes?”

“I’ll ask Bernice to apologize to you tomorrow?”

“Bernice is going to hate me more,” Gianna said in a worried tone.

But she wasn’t going to turn down Caesar’s offer.

“She won’t, silly. Bernice won’t want any misunderstanding between you two. That’s it. Stop overthinking. We’re getting married next month. Don’t let anything affect your mood. I heard women are going to have wrinkles if they overthink. You won’t look pretty if you have wrinkles on our wedding then,” Caesar was buttering Gianna up.

All these years when Gianna was with Caesar, she had her best interest in him, but he never cared about her emotions.

Caesar took Gianna for granted.

He even thought she was dumb.

It felt ironic.

One day, Gianna will bring Caesar down and made him regret what he did to her.

Gianna continued their causal chatter a while before hanging up the phone.

Caesar’s expression changed the moment he hung up the phone.

He rushed to the living room in fury.

The family doctor was cleaning Bernice’s wounds. When Bernice saw Caesar coming into the living room, she quickly asked, “Caesar, did you scold that bitch? She helped Maureen bully me! You should give her a piece of your mind and make her regret what she did. Ask her to apologize to me tomorrow, or I’ll never forgive her…”

“Enough!” Caesar shouted.

Lindsay was in the living with Caesar as well.

She felt sorry to see the injuries on Bernice too.

Lindsay was startled when Caesar got mad.

“What’s wrong?” Lindsay asked.

“What’s wrong? Bernice scolded Gianna and told Gianna that I was going to dump her. Now Gianna is angry with me and wanted to call off our wedding.”

“Call off the wedding then! Gianna doesn’t deserve a good man like you, Caesar. I bet she’ll beg you to take her back if you call off the wedding for real…”

“Do you know what’s going on with our family? The Morris family gave us two billion. We won’t get anything done without the two billion the Morris family gave us. The share price of our company is dropping, and we might have to announce bankruptcy if it drops any further. Our wedding is what

stabilizes the share of the Kennedy Group. Are you trying to push our family to bankruptcy by messing up with my wedding?” Caesar was furious.

Bernice felt aggrieved.

Everyone in the family had been pampering Bernice since the day she was born. No one had ever scolded like this.

“I’ve promised Gianna that you are going to apologize to her tomorrow. Don’t let her think that you don’t like her,” Caesar told Bernice.

“I should apologize?” Bernice widened her eyes.

Gianna was always an easy target for Bernice to pick on.

And Caesar wanted Bernice to apologize to Gianna? No way!
