Chapter 99 Aleena Comes
Facing the apologies from Amari and Jason, Gianna remained expressionless, showing no extra emotions on her face. However, when it came to Dillan, she said, “Last time, according to procedures and regulations, there was no evidence or arrest warrant. It was within the proper procedure for you to summon me to assist in the investigation. You are an upright person, so after you were suspended, I didn't make things difficult for the Harper family."
The corners of Dillan's mouth twitched. While Gianna hadn't made things difficult for his family, her fiancé had done it.
Last time. their business had been severely damaged, but Lloyd had only wanted to give them a lesson. This time, Lloyd showed no mercy and aimed to bankrupt the Harper family.
But Dillan didn't say that. They were here to apologize, not to accuse.
Gianna raised her eyes slightly, and her fair and delicate hand tucked the strands of hair that had fallen on her cheeks behind her ears. She calmly continued, "Mr. Harper, do you remember how you reached your current position?”
Dillan's body shook. Looking at Gianna in shock, he was unable to speak for a while. He remembered. Of course, he remembered!
The current status of the Harper family was not achieved solely through the efforts of his parents, nor was it solely due to his own efforts. Instead, the Harper family had been supported
They didn't know the identity of the person supporting them. After elevating the Harper family to its current position, that person had only given one instruction: Never use power to oppress ordinary people, do more good deeds, and build more positive relationships. If the Harper family does evil, someone will take away everything they possess now.
Not only Dillan, but also Zaid and his wife were shocked by Gianna's words.
After a long while, Zaid croaked, feeling his spine go cold, "Ms. Geller, who are you?"
Gianna didn't answer him but took out a ring from her pocket and put it on.
Seeing the ring, Zaid felt his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. With a single glance from Gianna, he barely managed to stand still "King Organization..."
He had only said half of his sentence when he suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped
Gianna coldly glanced at him and spoke without any expression, "I hope this is the last time.”
"Yeah, yes, we understand. There won't be a next time." Zaid felt his throat dry as he spoke.
"Take your daughter and leave,” Gianna said calmly.
Zaid didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly left with Amari
After they left. Lloyd's deep eyes stared at Gianna for a long time. Then, his gaze fell on the hand where she had taken off the ring just two seconds ago.
He had seen that ring once, but the one he saw was slightly different from the one on Gianna's hand. The difference was subtle, and it wouldn't be noticeable without careful observation.
He didn't know why Gianna had that ring, but he knew that the ring represented power, a power even greater than the force he had secretly cultivated.
Who exactly was Gianna?
Gianna didn't know what he was thinking and just glanced at the student who had been panicking after receiving a demerit from Mr. Galvan. Finally, her gaze fell on Alisa. Her eyes were profound, and she didn't say anything. She turned and left.
As Gianna walked away, the group of students, who were surrounding her and wanting to help Alisa seek justice, exchanged glances. This incident reminded them of how they had suspected Gianna of forging her qualifications and how they had been proved wrong And the main culprit behind it all was Alisa.
For a moment, they began to doubt her.
Seeing their expressions, Alisa understood everything.
Fortunately, her phone rang at this moment. It was from her grandmother, Brenna.
She felt her heart tighten and anxiously answered the call. "Grandmother, I just saw the news. How are you? I'll come to see you now." After hanging up the phone, she called her class teacher for leave and then went to the hospital.
In the hospital
Alisa hurriedly arrived at her grandmother's ward and saw her rarely-returning aunt, Aleena, sitting inside.
She was taken aback for a moment but immediately smiled. “Aleena, you're back?"
Aleena glanced at her with a cold indifference and replied, "Yes."
Alisa's expression stiffened. She didn't like Aleena, who was always cold towards her. Every time she saw Aleena, Aleena was so cold to her, like she owed Aleena money or something.
She ignored Aleena and turned her gaze to her grandmother, only to find both her grandmother and Enrique looking at her.
Her grandmother was still amiable on the surface, but her eyes were filled with darkness. She beckoned her over. "Alisa, come here. Grandma has something to tell you."
"Grandma hopes you can post a Twit to clarify the matter of Gianna taking credit from you," Grandma said.
Alisa's heart sank. "I understand, Grandma."
Ranson High School.
Just after Alisa posted the clarification and apology on Twitter, Gianna saw it.
Alisa recorded a video, admitting that Gianna had indeed cured Lilian and had not taken credit from her.
She claimed that she had falsely accused Gianna out of jealousy and sincerely apologized to Gianna, asking for her forgiveness.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
However, public opinion didn’t improve much.
Although Alisa clarified the matter, she cried in the video, evoking sympathy and making herself look like she had suffered the most grievance.
Comments under the video didn't believe what she said at all. People thought that Alisa must have been coerced by the Finley family to past such a clarification.
For a moment, online abuse towards Gianna intensified.
Gianna sneered. Alisa's reluctant video only led public opinion to be even more unfavorable towards her. "Is she still trying to play the game?” Gianna wondered. “Interesting.”
At this time, Gianna's phone rang. It was an unknown number, and her brow furrowed as she picked it up. "Gia." A gentle voice came from the phone. "This is Aleena. Do you remember me?"
"Aleena.” Gianna paused for a moment, and her heart softened as the face of a gentle woman appeared in her mind.
How could shevorget? When she was a child trthe Geller family, besides Sherman, there was only ber aunt Aleéna who treated her with kindness. Aleena used to play with her, Buy her delicious food, and tell herstories. a
In her memories of the Geller family, Aleena occupied half of the happy moments.
She heard that Aleena had moved to Acostan with her husband later on, so she didn’t expect her to suddenly return.
‘It's me. De-you still remember me?" Aleena’s voice softened. "I have been thinking about you all these years. It's great that Sherman found you. Giag-t would like to see yous that okay?" . “
Gianna remained silent for a moment and replied, "Okay."
She had thought that her heart had already beerthardened like iron during heNten years at Lancaster Shrine. _Hewever, encountering peopleyike Laney and Aleena, who sincerely treated her well, made her heart melt. Content be ongs to a

"I also want to see Calvin.” Aleena’'s tone was full of anticipation. "When Calvin finishes school, can we take him to the amusement park?”
"Sure." Gianna agreed.
