WantNovelChapter 492
Darleen couldn't stand Gerard.
Everyone is supposed to be equal, but Gerard always acted like he was above everyone else.
He never even acknowledged her presence.
Darleen could see the disdain in Gerard's eyes.
The way he looked at her was as if she were nothing but trash.
Yet, tand tagain, she felt compelled to play the fool and try to win
Gerard's approval.
Why should she have to?
Gerard's mother was nothing more than a homewrecker, so what right did he have to be the young master of the
Lindsay family?
She was born a daughter of privilege, with noble blood, so why should Gerard treat her with such contempt?
If Carole hadn't stolen Jonah from Edna all those years ago, she would be the rightful heiress of the Lindsay
family, and Gerard wouldn't even be in the picture.
Gerard was just an illegitimate child!
He had taken everything that should have been hers!
"What is Darleen doing standing over there?" Jasked as she entered the room, supported by Delia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarleen turned around with a smile, the malice in her eyes vanishing instantly, as if it had never been there.
"Grandma, | was just trying to say hello to Gerry! But it seems like he didn't notice me..."
As she spoke, Darleen lowered her head, looking dejected.
Janet's face showed her displeasure at this.
Gerard was becoming more and more disrespectful.
He knew how much she liked Darleen, and she had even considered having Edna
and Darleen join the Lindsay family. Yet Gerard kept giving Edna and her
daughter the cold shoulder.
Everything she did was for his benefit!
At her age, she could pass away at any time, and she didn't want to leave Jonah and Gerard alone.
Jonah's health was poor, and Gerard was still just a boy.
Without a woman in the house, she was genuinely worried!
But alas, neither father nor son seemed to appreciate her efforts. Not only that, they were openly dismissive.
With a heavy sigh, Jsaid, "Don't worry, Darleen. When that boy comes back, I'll make sure to give him a
piece of my mind!"
Darleen looked up, dutifully responding, "Grandma, | don't blGerry. Please don't be hard on him!"
Jfelt comforted, saying, "Darleen, you're such a sensible girl."
Delia chimed in with a smile,
"Madam, you're truly blessed. Darleen might not be your biological granddaughter, but she's just as good as any
granddaughter could be! Which other granddaughter would be so devoted?"
Indeed, Darleen was so devoted!
She cby almost every day to keep Jcompany.
Who else could match Darleen's dedication?
Jagreed wholeheartedly with Delia, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her face full of warmth. "Absolutely!
Having Darleen as my granddaughter is this old lady's greatest blessing."
Darleen smiled back, "Grandma, don't say that. Having you as my grandmother is my real blessing!"
Jwas even more delighted by her words.
But as the laughter faded, Darleen's smile dimmed, replaced by worry. "Grandma, do you think it's something I'm
doing wrong that makes Gerry dislike me?"
Jpulled her into a comforting embrace, "No, no, Darleen, you're a wonderful girl. It's Gerry who's being
thoughtless!"
"Darleen, are you badmouthing Gerry to your Grandma again?" Edna walked in from outside.
"Mom, | didn't!" Darleen looked up at Edna.
Edna's face was stern, "Darleen, how many times have | told you? You and Gerry grew up together. You might not
be siblings by blood, but the bond you share is irrep Why can't you learn something positive instead of
gossiping? Now apologize to your Grandma!"
Feeling wronged, Darleen apologized to Janet.
The mother-daughter duo's back-and-forth only made Jfeel even more protective, "Edna! You've got it all
wrong this time! Darleen is
a good girl and wouldn't gossip behind anyone's back!"
