The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606 A Bombshell

Bridget noticed how defensive Brielle was getting over her cousin and chuckled to herself. Still too young and impatient.

She looked back at Amelia. The more she looked, the more she liked her.

It wasn’t just that she was gorgeous; she had this intelligence and calm confidence in her eyes. Just standing there, she naturally carried an air of quiet grace.

Standing off to the side, Gianna faded into the background, almost invisible.

It felt like nobody even noticed she was there.

Usually, she was the center of attention, so being ignored felt terrible.

Remembering why she came, she decided to speak up to get some attention.

“Cora, I may have come today with Brielle, but I’ve heard so much about you.

“Everyone says you were such a powerful, legendary woman when you were younger. I’m so happy to finally meet you today.”

Hearing Gianna’s obvious flattery, Bridget snorted quietly.

Still too young. Women their age in wealthy families had already heard this kind of stiff, fake praise a million times.

Clearly, Cora felt the same way.

She didn’t want to hear it, especially not from Gianna.

Cora already hated that Brielle had brought Gianna home, but now that she was trying to get noticed, Cora was even more fed up.

Especially because of Gianna’s background.

“Enough,” Cora said, cutting her off. Her voice was calm but very cold. “Since you’re a guest, just sit down and have some tea.”

It sounded polite, but Cora didn’t look at Gianna for even a second,

She turned right back to Amelia, her face softening, “Amelia, don’t just stand there. Come sit down.

“Floyd said he went to the study to get something from his collection for you. What’s taking him so long?”

This obvious difference in treatment felt like a loud slap across Gianna’s face. Her hand shook as she held her teacup, and her face turned red, then pale.

She was furious but had to force a smile that looked more like she was crying.

“Grandma, you’re playing favorites again! Why are you always so gentle and warm to Amelia?

“Gianna is my friend. We’re going to be like sisters from now on!”

Even though she didn’t fully understand, she felt like Amelia was hinting at something, which made her angrier,

“I’m saying you and Gianna are blood-related sisters. Can you accept that?”

Amelia stopped beating around the bush and cut straight to the chase.

It was like a bombshell dropped in the middle of the living room.

The confused look on Brielle’s face froze. Her face turned pale as her eyes widened in disbelief, like she had just heard something insane.

Her voice trembled. “W-what did you say? Me and Gianna? Blood-related sisters? Amelia, are you crazy? Do you even know what nonsense you’re saying?!”

She suddenly stood up, gripping the edge of her clothes so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her chest was heaving. She was in disbelief.

She was convinced Amelia was just saying this to humiliate her.

Sure, she hung out with Gianna sometimes, but who would want to be real sisters with someone who didn’t even know who their father was?

If that were true, it would mean…

Cora stayed silent. Next to her, Bridget was just as shocked. “Amelia, what are you talking about?”
