“Don’t you dare accuse me like that! How could I possibly do something like this? Isabel’s my future sister–in–law!” Gianna snapped.

Amelia crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing at her lips.”You sure you really see her as your future sister–in–law?”

Her words instantly reminded Marcelo of what Amelia had said earlier on the yacht, and his face darkened a little.

He did not want to believe that Gianna would actually hurt someone–or that she did not want him to get married and start a family.

But right now, she had been alone with Isabel.

“And then? Amelia shows up out of nowhere, pushes her, pulls her back up, and now they’re both blaming me! What am I supposed to do?”

Gianna’s voice trembled with sobs as she spoke. Soon, she could not hold back anymore and broke down crying, loud, heart–wrenching, and perfectly pitiful.

With tears glistening on her cheeks, she looked like the very picture of innocence wronged.

Anyone watching would instantly believe she’d been falsely accused.
