“Long time no see.” Gianna smiled.

In actuality, she didn’t have anything against Bruce.

Bruce was easy to get along with.

He always played the role of a big brother in taking care of Maureen. Of course, he did so too for

Gianna.

In her memory, Maureen was very repulsive towards Bruce, but he always tolerated her tantrums.

No matter how much bad blood Maureen had in between them, he would always try to be

understanding.

Gianna didn’t whether Bruce’s departure had anything to do with Brandon’s appearance.

Maybe it had.

Or else, why would he suddenly go off somewhere far away after being by Maureen’s side for so many

years?

Besides, Gianna had distanced herself from Bruce ever since Maureen had chosen Brandon from the

two of them.

In fact, putting aside Maureen, Bruce could be considered her childhood friend too.

In the past, she didn’t know the entirety of the truth, so she didn’t like Bruce too, but now that she knew

everything, she even felt some slight remorse towards this man.

Bruce returned her smile, “Long time no see too.”

“I really thought that you will never come back anymore,” Gianna said frankly.

“Well, I am here because I was forced by my mother.” Bruce sounded a little helpless as he explained,

“I am her only family, so…”

Actually, Gianna wasn’t feeling so repulsive towards his return.

In her last life, due to Maureen, she also maintained some distance between Bruce and herself.

Therefore, in Bruce’s opinion, she shouldn’t be so warm in her reception of him.

“Welcome back.” Gianna suddenly thrust out her hand.

There was a trace of shock on Bruce’s ever so gentle smiling face.

He slowly took Gianna’s hand and said, “Thanks.”

“Welcome. We may have a meal together when you’re free.”

“Okay.”

“Are you going to work in XH Bank after returning?” Gianna asked nonchalantly.

“No.” Bruce sounded very determined.

Gianna smiled again, “You have overhead my conversation with Maureen.”

He must have heard Maureen commenting that Bruce was back to wrestle away some of the family

inheritance.

All the while, Maureen thought that Bruce and her mother was hiding something malicious up their

sleeves.

She couldn’t blame Maureen for thinking like that.

When Eunice became part of the Torres family all those years before, Maureen’s mother was still alive.

Of course, it didn’t mean that Eunice had caused Maureen’s mother’s demise, it’s just that when

Maureen’s life was hanging on a tread due to a heavy disease, all Maureen’s father could think about

was Eunice, and he also didn’t show a lot of concern for Maureen’s mother. Although the couple was

divorced at that time, Maureen still thought that her father was too heartless. The final and most critical

came in the form of her father, George’s refusal to see her mother one last time at the time she was

giving her last breath.

This incident would be something Maureen would never recover from all her life.

“I won’t take part in the division of inheritance of the Torres family.” Bruce said bluntly.

“I know that.” She knew that it was true.

Bruce was still staring at Gianna with a strange light in his eyes.

He probably didn’t imagine that Gianna would trust him fully like this.

After all, she had been standing in Maureen’s shoes all the time throughout the years.

“I just think that if you are capable, can you influence Maureen to work at the company? I really can’t

ease my own worries about that…” Gianna began, “Maureen is really head over heels for Brandon.”

“Brandon is treating Maureen very well.” Bruce commented.

He said this without any hint of emotion.

Gianna continued to stare at him.

“Right. I heard that you are going to marry next month.” Bruce ventured into another topic as he wanted

to change the topic.

Gianna knowingly stopped lingering on the last topic.

After all, she was in no position to interfere in the problems of their relationship.

“That’s true.” Gianna nodded.

She was going to marry soon.

But her partner would not be Caesar.

“I wish you all the happiness in the world in advance.”

“Thank you.” Gianna smiled, “It’s getting late now. I’ll head back home now.”

“Take care.”

Gianna stepped into her car.

Her car slowly left the Torres’ villa.

She turned around and took a look at Bruce who was shrinking in the distance.

She would never forget the scene in her last life when Bruce laid eyes on Maureen’s corpse, and the

anguished and tormented look he had on his face.

In this lifetime, she would not allow such a tragedy to happen again!

In the Morris’ villa, when Gianna reached home, her father was still awake.

He was probably worried about her being out so late sending off Maureen from the nightclub.

Her mother on the other hand had retired to the bedroom.

“Dad.” Gianna greeted her father intimately.

Gianna was really grateful for being able to live a life with her parents by her side. She thanked God for

it.

“How is Maureen that kid?” Alexander asked with concern.

He was concerned because their family was on good terms with the Torres family.

Maureen always frequented their home, and coupled with the fact that Maureen despised her father

and stepmother, she had stuck to Gianna’s parents more often, and her parents indeed treated

Maureen like their own daughter.

“She’s drunk, but I’ve sent her back.” Gianna replied noncommittally.

“Great that you’ve sent her home. Ask her not to drink so much in the future. It’s bad for her health.”

“I’ve told her many times, you know.”

“It’s not early now. Go to sleep.”

“Dad, I have something I want to discuss with you.” Gianna’s voice sounded a little grave.

“Spill it.”

“You have been together with mum for many years and you guys have a great relationship. But have

you really contributed anything to her at all?”

Alexander suddenly froze.

It seemed that he was struggling with coming up with an answer.

“Mum never chases after anything, but throughout all these years, my mother has been looked down

upon by others! Nowadays, she rarely dabbles with the rich ladies in the circle, but do you really think

that is her own choice? Do you really think mum doesn’t want to make some friends? No. It’s just that

mum hails from a poor background, and those rich ladies didn’t want to have anything to do with mum.

And all those years, you never install her as an office lady in the family. You never told the others about

mum, about her position in the family.” Gianna continued gravely, “Those rich ladies probably think that

mum is just like any other maid, who is not worthy of being the lady in our family!”

In the past, under the education of her parents, she always thought that names and reputation were

superficial stuff, and as long as they could lead a good life, she wouldn’t care about how outsiders view

them.

However, she was different now.

She had changed into someone who could not afford any mistreatments.

She had changed into someone who didn’t want her friends and families to experience any

mistreatments.

In reality, the world was a huge food chain and only the fittest would survive. If they lowered their

stance, they would get bullied even more.

Alexander couldn’t help being angry after listening to Gianna’s words, “Who dares to spout that

nonsense?”

“That’s not the point. The point is that those rich ladies do indeed have such an opinion.”

“I can’t allow your mother to get looked down upon like that!” Alexander cut her off firmly.

“That is why you need to do something for her.”

“What should I do?” Alexander sounded a little worrisome.

“When mum’s fiftieth birthday arrives, you need to throw a majestic party for her to show all those

ladies in Kouby City that the lady of the Morris Group is someone they could never touch!” Gianna

suggested.

Alexander looked a little hesitant after hearing that.

“Dad, our family is being too humble in the past few years. No matter what kind of occasion or party, we

would be very low-key. If we are not up to par, then I can understand, but our family really has

something to show for. As one of the four big families in Country B, and as the second-ranked family in

the wealthiest family list, why can’t we show the world that we are indeed at the top of our game?”

Why.

Why did they have to succumb to the Kennedy family all this time?
