In the Walker family hall, Florence’s incessant screaming was filling the space.
Her voice told everyone that she was terribly wronged, and she was in a very deep pain.
She continued to push Harriet while her spirits continued to break down, “Harriet, why did you scheme
with Gianna to push the blame to me, why are you doing this to me? We share such a great bond for
so many years. Am I so tiny and insignificant in your heart?”
She was implying Harriet to stop speaking nonsense with a hidden threat.
Harriet was also crying very furiously.
She didn’t like revealing the truth either.
Although her young lady had a bad temper and a twisted personality, she still treated Harriet quite
decently. This was due to the family culture where Mr. and Mrs. Walker and the other elders always
treated their maids and underlings well. They had nothing but gratitude towards them while working in
this family.
Harriet never wanted to harm any of the members of such family.
Florence saw that Harriet had sunken into a momentary silence and believed that she had convinced
Harriet. After all, Harriet had been by her side for so many years, and she was very familiar with
Harriet’s disposition. Harriet was not someone who began a conflict on her own, and from her current
agonized look, Harriet wouldn’t want to continue to lock horns with her!
Therefore, at that moment, she turned her attention to Gianna as she pointed at Gianna with a pained
expression, “Sister-in-law, I know you hate me and you wanted to slap me as much as you hate me. I
don’t care how you wanted to get revenge on me, but why did you accuse me for having feelings for my
brother? No matter how bad a person I am, I wouldn’t be so twisted! Even without going to school, I
know very well that any kind of relationship is forbidden between siblings, yet you are throwing such an
excuse to blame me. Do you really want to see me dead so that I can prove my innocence?”
“If it were not for the fact that I have discovered your feelings for Kingsley, I would have admitted the
wrongdoing you have pinned on me.” In contrast to Florence’s riled up demeanour, Gianna was
considerably calmer. She navigated this argument with poise and maturity, which only served to show
how uneducated and barbaric Florence was at the moment.
She continued, “From the moment I was married to Kingsley and entered this family, I never wanted to
begin any conflict with anyone. That holds true for every family member. I even think that I can
understand your motives for framing me, since it’s only natural that you don’t know me well for the short
time I am in this family, with my marriage a sudden one. You must have bias against me from the
rumours you heard, but I still think that I can accept all that. After all, as long as we take our time to get
to know each other, such puny misunderstandings would have resolved themselves.”
Florence stared at Gianna with her teary eyes.
She couldn’t foresee what this woman was going to come up with next.
Despite that, she would never admit that she love her own brother.
“However, the moment I discovered your feelings for Kingsley, I thought that I couldn’t just let this slide.
After all, your feelings for him are wrong in the beginning what with your sibling ties to him. To put it
more bluntly, your feelings are sickening.
“I never like him, I never like him in the first place! I always view my brother as just a brother, nothing
more, but why do you insist to steer the argument your direction? Why do I have to become something
so stinky in your mouth?” Florence retorted while she was almost out of control!”
“Harriet.” Gianna said to Harriet, “Take out the miss’ diary.”
Harriet’s body visibly throbbed.
At that moment, it was as if she was perched on a taut wire.
Even the slightest change in the air would alert her.
She raised her head and stared at Gianna before turning to check Florence.
Florence’s face had drastically changed at the moment.
She looked extremely grotesque.
No way.
How did Gianna learn of her diary?
Why did Gianna know about it?
No way.
She couldn’t let anyone see her diary.
Besides written records of her feelings for Kingsley, she had written down every cruel and despicable
thing she had done in her life, and also her dark musings hidden deep within her heart.
Due to the fact that she couldn’t share her triumphant satisfaction with just anyone, she had written
down on her diary so that she could reread them afterwards.
She always felt elated after reading her diary!
At the same time, she was always very cautious. She never let anyone learn of her diary-writing habits
except for Harriet!
Harriet!
Florence’s gaze was like a sharp knife as it pierced into Florence’s body.
Harriet couldn’t stop herself from shaking.
She just happened to stumble upon her miss’ diary one time when Florence had forgotten to keep the
diary out of people’s eyes. Seeing that the diary looked pretty, she had flipped the pages unknowingly
and curiously, but that was when she was shocked by what her miss had written in there.
She never expected Florence heart to be so dark and twisted.
She never expected Florence to curse everyone to have an unhappy ending, and this even included
her own parents who had given birth to and raised her.
She complained that they never gave her a healthy body and complained that she couldn’t live
normally. She even cursed them and wished them to be dead in an accident!
The diary recorded each and every cruel thoughts of Florence.
Naturally, she learnt of her miss’ feelings for the Young Master Kingsley. It was written with an
exceptional clarity and it was nothing short of a romantic kind of feeling. There was even a paragraph
where Florence had dreamt of their wedding someday…
At that point, Harriet couldn’t bring herself to continue reading anymore.
She was utterly shocked by the very words written in there.
“The miss’ diary is locked in a drawer.” Harriet finally mustered almost all of her courage as she spoke
those words.
“Harriet!” Florence let out a shrill which was a sharp needle to everyone’s ears.
Harriet had darted off in the direction of the second floor. She was obviously planning to get to the diary
before anyone else.
Florence looked like she was about to give chase.
Gianna immediately blocked her path.
Florence’s face was so convoluted and ugly that it wasn’t something mere words could describe.
She was well aware of the repercussions once her diary was public knowledge. She would really…
really have no reason to stay in this family anymore.
The only choice left to her was…
Florence’s eyes glinted off a strange light!
She turned around sharply and ran in the direction of the grandfather clock.
She wanted to use the threat of her death to stop Harriet from revealing the contents of the diary!
However, Gianna predicted her next moves as she quickly lashed out and pulled Florence to a stop.
The moment she grabbed Florence’s arm, Florence suddenly lashed out herself and dug her fingernails
into Gianna’s arm, tearing apart her skin in the process.
Gianna frowned as the pain reached her.
At the same time, a figure suddenly pushed Florence.
Florence was originally weak, so when someone pushed her, she immediately fell to the floor.
At that moment, she looked up and saw Kingsley pulling Gianna into his arms vehemently. He was
obviously protecting her.
Florence glared at the couple with bloodshot eyes full of envy.
Seeing that Kingsley was so protective of Gianna yet so cruel towards herself, and thinking of
everything she experienced today including her blown cover and pretences and all those
embarrassment she was never used to facing, she finally let loose her feelings and exploded.
“In what way am I inferior to Gianna, that damned woman?”
Her screams were venomous.
Finally, she put down all of her fake faces, and unleashed all of her suppressed feelings together at
once.
