That subordinate had only one daughter, and her mother had passed away young. So when the man died, he left the girl behind, and Raymond brought her home to adopt her.

That girl was none other than Gianna.

At first, Emery had her doubts, but after secretly having someone investigate, she found everything matched exactly what Raymond had told her.

So, she reluctantly accepted the presence of this adopted daughter.

In the beginning, both Emery and her three sons were resistant. They didn’t want a stranger taking the place of the daughter they’d lost.

But Gianna was sweet and patient. No matter how much they criticized or nitpicked, she never talked back. She just quietly endured it and repaid their coldness with sincerity.

Once, Emery was kidnapped by criminals. It was Gianna’s quick thinking and courage that saved her, bringing her home safely.

That was the moment everything changed–Emery’s view of her shifted completely, and she began to truly accept her.

She thought, My real daughter is gone, but this child treats me like her own mother–she deserves to be loved back.

Her three sons noticed it too. Gianna was attentive and gentle, always checking in on them, taking care of little things for them. Over time, their feelings toward her became real.

Affection, after all, grows slowly–but it grows deep.

So as the years passed, they all came to genuinely care for her.

Then one day, their real daughter returned, but she was completely different. Her personality had changed beyond recognition.

She constantly competed with Gianna for attention and possessions, jealousy eating away at her. She was convinced Gianna had stolen her place in the family.

She picked fights, stirred up trouble, and turned what used to be a peaceful household of six

into constant chaos.

At times, they even caught themselves thinking … maybe it would’ve been better if she’d never

come back.

Now, things with Amelia were getting worse by the day.

Aside from blood ties, every bit of affection built over the years had been destroyed.

Sometimes Emery even caught herself wondering something ridiculous. If I had been kidnapped, and I didn’t have Gianna, would Amelia have risked her life for me? Probably not.

The thought made her realize just how much more she valued her adopted daughter.
