Everyone was completely shocked by Gianna’s words.
Getting to the core of the matter revolving Florence, Gianna should be the biggest victim here. However, she was the one standing up for Florence too.
“Dad.” Gianna tried to endure the pain on her back.
The pain was real.
Cameron really didn’t hold back even if this was her daughter.
She continued, “We are all kind in heart when we are born. It’s not entirely Florence’s fault for becoming who she is today. We have showed too little of a concern for her, and our way of education is wrong too. Could it be that we never know the true longing of her heart? I don’t think that Florence is the only one who should reflect on herself in this matter.”
Her speech rendered Cameron speechless.
“Mum.” Gianna called out to Caroline, “I know that you have sacrificed a lot for Florence, and you really do love her to the core. But do you really know what Florence wants? Florence just said that she couldn’t live the life when everyone could go out and have fun and be themselves, no? Could it be that we have been too protective of her all along, which took away the chance for her to grow up independently? This might be the cause of her becoming such a twisted person like she is today.”
Caroline was too unable to find any words to respond to Gianna.
Was her love too heavy? Or she was ignorant of her daughter’s need all along?
After getting reminded by Gianna, she started to think carefully about the way she used to treat Florence, about the righteousness of her actions.
“From when we were children, Florence had suffered too much because of her body, don’t you agree? Do you really think things would change if you inflict even more damage to her body now? In my opinion, we should instead think of ways we can help her, and make sure she can return to being a normal, sane person. We shouldn’t increase her hatred towards us!” Gianna spoke with sincerity.
Everyone seemed to be touched by Gianna’s speech.
Even for Janice, who was always antagonistic towards Gianna was starting to respect this woman after a series of manoeuvring.
Not only she had exposed the ugly side of Florence this bitch, she had turn herself into the righteousness one, full of justice. She had won this match fantastically!
When she recalled all the years she was bullied by that bitch yet without an outlet to vent her sufferings, she used to be very depressed because of it.
She gnashed her teeth and tried to be unnoticeable to everyone.
At that moment, Florence didn’t think that Gianna would come to her rescue.
Everyone chosen to be bystanders, yet Gianna, who she hated the most, had put in some words in her favour.
No.
She wouldn’t accept.
She wouldn’t accept Gianna’s goodwill.
She didn’t want everyone to think highly of Gianna!
When she was about to push Gianna away, Gianna whispered by her ears in the form of a warning, “If you really want to get beaten to death by dad, you can continue to dig your own grave.”
In the eyes of the onlookers, Gianna looked like she was consoling Florence with her action of whispering by her ears.
Florence was indeed threatened by Gianna’s words.
She was well aware that if she returned Gianna’s kindness with vengeance, that would be the end of the amount of kindness and tolerance her family would show to her from that moment on. She might even die after a beating by her father!
She gritted her teeth.
She didn’t think that Gianna would oppress her to such a degree.
Knowing well that Gianna was never sincere in her help with her motives of strengthening ties between herself and the other members and also gaining the favour of her parents as well as Kingsley, Florence in fact had no other way to stop her.
She was very hateful.
Yet she could do nothing at all.
“Florence, apologize to dad and mum now.” Gianna urged Florence with a gentle expression.
It was true.
Gianna was on the receiving end of everything good here.
