Seeing her, some of her extended family members coughed before saying, “You know, Giya really is a good girl. She’s well aware that we can’t afford to offend the Long family. What more, hadn’t Mr. Long spent millions of dollars to save you when you were kidnapped? He definitely loves you a lot!”
In the room, Walton was the only one who knew the reality of the situation. Since he was worried sick, Giya had detailed the events that had taken place the night before to him. The others were completely oblivious to the truth of what had really happened.
Hearing the comments from her uncles and aunts, Giya only laughed as she expressed a wry smile. She understood what they were trying to tell her.
Despite that, Giya wasn’t angry at them at all. She was aware that the pressure from the Long and the main Quarrington family was really suffocating both her own, and her extended family.
What more, she knew that her uncles and aunts still needed to support their own families. That was the gist as to why she wasn’t holding anything against them.
Besides, she just couldn’t care any less about her situation anymore. What else could she do?
Gerald didn’t seem to care about her anymore. After all, he already had his beloved Mila.
While she had initially thought that there would still be a chance for her and Gerald to be together in the past, she didn’t even want to think about it anymore.
The way she saw it, the only way she could possibly be of any use in this situation was to sacrifice herself. At least then she would finally be able to help her family attain peace!
After taking a deep breath, Giya smiled before saying, “Dad, mom, I’ll go get ready first so that we can attend Yunus’s birthday banquet later!”
She then returned to her room.
Seeing his daughter like that, Walton couldn’t help but feel slightly depressed.
Meanwhile, Harry was together with Gerald and in his hand was a USB flash drive.
“Hehe… This is my gift to you, Mr. Crawford. I’m sure you’ll be very interested in it,” said Harry as he slid the USB into a laptop and began playing a video.
After watching the entire thing, Gerald couldn’t help but sneer before asking, “Did you record this last night?”
“Heh, I did! I may not have many skills, but if it’s regarding despicable or sneaky acts, no one can compare to me!” replied Harry as he patted his own chest twice.
“That’s quite enough. There’s no need to brag about that!” replied Zack as he smiled wryly.
