Novel1Chapter 289 The sound of breaking porcelain echoed through the room as Gigi's face contorted with rage. "Mom! I'm going to make that bitch Nadine pay for this!" Evelyn felt a pang of sympathy when she saw Gigi's swollen eyes. She quickly pulled her into a comforting embrace and whispered, "Gigi, don't get so worked up. It's not worth it. Don't let it get to you. Someone will take care of Nadine." After a moment, she added, "You mentioned there were issues with Nadine's pregnancy timeline. I'll have someone investigate it." Evelyn had never liked Nadine. Despite Daniel and Adam's affection for her, Evelyn had resisted accepting a woman from humble origins into the Hamilton family.
She had always disapproved of Brad marrying Nadine. As a woman who had given birth herself, she now also questioned the discrepancies in Sean's birthdate, as Gigi had pointed out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Gigi heard her mother was going to investigate further, she stopped crying immediately.
"Mom, make sure to dig deep. Find out everything, and if possible, expose Nadine to get her out of the Hamilton family and ruin her reputation! Once Brad sees her true colors and gets rid of her, then Jean can be my sister-in- law. She's been so good to me. I don't want Nadine as my sister-in-law." Evelyn gently touched Gigi's swollen eyes. "Alright." "Let's go. I'll take you to get something to eat first, and then we'll head to time-out. Brad is really angry this time, so try not to provoke him any further." Evelyn and Gigi left Phoenix Villa and headed back to Clover Villa. As they did, a cold winter rain began to fall outside.
After Nadine went upstairs, she went to Sean's room instead of her own room. Standing by the window, she gazed at the unexpected winter rain in a daze.
Her mind was in turmoil, as if two voices were clashing inside her head. One reminded her that Brad had stood up for her and even taken a hit, she should set aside her anger for now. She needed to be grateful because he had saved her.
The other voice countered, reminding her that while she should be grateful to Brad for saving her and repaying him, she shouldn't forget about the divorce.
Although she agreed not to mention it until Adam was discharged, the process requires a month's notice to the registrar's office. She needed to bring up with Brad again and ideally get the divorce certificate after Adam's discharge.

In her memory, Brad had always disliked her. She couldn't help but wonder why he stepped up for her and why he was making Gigi- apologize. If he truly didn't care, why would he go through all this for her?
A chill and dampness hung in the air by the window, with a faint breeze seeping through the crack. However, the biting cold was swiftly chased away by the warmth of the heater. Nadine watched the rain flow down the window and reached out to touch it. The rain was cold, but the warmth inside made it feel less so.
The yellow light from the room cast a soft glow through the misty glass, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The rain trickled down the window in delicate streams, distorting the view outside.
She heard the door handle turn, followed by a faint breeze that m quickly faded, Alight scent of fresh grass filled the room, and a set of familiar footsteps approached. Even without turning around, Nadine knew who it was. She stood by the window, gazing at the rain in a daze.
She wondered where her fractured marriage with Brad was headed.
