Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 5

In the main hall…

Gianna’s phone rang.

She took a glimpse at her phone and picked up the call. “Hey, Maureen.”

“Hey, there’s a charity banquet tomorrow, would you join?” Maureen forgot to ask her when they separated today. She seemed to only recall that now.

Gianna paused and recalled the timeline back then.

There would be an annual charity banquet in Kouby City tonight and most of the high officials and noble lords of the city would join. Usually, she would not attend such a banquet, therefore she would basically reject. Caesar was tolerant too and he never asked her to accompany him to social events.

She really thought Caesar did that for her own good back then, yet she only knew now that he only wanted to restrict her in a cage and forbid her to socialize with anyone, so she would not have the power to overturn her fate.

“I’ll go,” Gianna answered.

“Did I hear it wrongly? I’m just asking.” Maureen specifically enjoyed taking part in various events and she would wish for someone to keep her company.

Yet she did not hold any hopes.

“Let’s choose our gowns tomorrow together,” Gianna suggested.

“You’re not lying to me, right?” Maureen was still doubtful because she would refuse to join the banquets no matter how she cajoled her.

“See you tomorrow.” Without giving further explanations, Gianna hung up the call.

Alexander was a little surprised when he heard his daughter’s words. “Gina, are you joining the charity banquet tomorrow? I thought you didn’t like to join such social events?”

Gianna felt that she was really a bad daughter in her previous life.

She had concentrated all her attention on one man and had never contributed anything to her family. She had even caused the destruction of her family in the end.

She swore, “Dad, from today onwards, I’ll protect our family, I’ll help you to manage the Morris Group. I’ll make our family continue to say glorious until the coming generations and no one could seize it from me, including Uncle Abbott and his family!”

Alexander was once again impressed by his own daughter.

She was never ambitious like that before. He had once thought to let her take care of the family business too, yet he never forced her. He knew she had had her heart all set on Caesar and he had planned to let Caesar take care of the Morris Group after their marriage.

Yet it was certainly better to let his own daughter take care of it. Alexander was thrilled and he said, “Good, I believe in you!”

Gianna let out a smile.

She would definitely secure the Morris Group with her own hands in this life and she would not be foolish enough to let Caesar take over it anymore!

…

In the afternoon the next day, Gianna and Maureen went to the luxurious gown area to pick their evening dress.

Both of them chose their favorite and put it on.

They then sat in the makeup room to dress up and put on makeup.

“Have you gone normal?” Maureen asked Gianna.

Gianna was startled. “What?”

“Yesterday, Kingsley Walker…”

“Maureen,” Gianna’s expression changed and she stopped her.

Maureen bit her lower lip and murmured. “I have no idea what’s so good about him!”

She certainly meant Kingsley.

“I heard that Bruce Shawn is coming back,” Gianna digressed. She was afraid that Maureen who was not good at keeping secrets would blurt it out.

They were now at a high-class gown area and everyone they came in contact with was all from the top of the upper-class community. If someone was eavesdropping on them, her plan would be exposed and ruined completely.

“So what, what does it have to do with me?” Maureen showed a deprecating look. “By the way, how come I didn’t know that he’s coming back? Isn’t he living a good life now overseas? Why should he come back?”

She clearly did not sound happy.

“I thought he should have returned after graduating from college.” Gianna acted dumb.
