He probably hated Gianna with a burning passion; he just hadn’t exploded yet. Instead, he kept the anger bottled up, waiting for the right moment to take his revenge.

Amelia knew exactly what kind of man Marcelo was. Among the three brothers, he was the stingiest and the most ruthless.

Now that he realized his pampered adopted sister was treating him like a pet to toy with, there was no way he could stay this calm.

Either he intended to use her to get rid of her, or he simply hadn’t reached the peak of rage and resentment yet.

“Amelia, I’m not lying or setting you up. I really want to team up with you. I really want to take Gianna down!”

Marcelo thought Amelia didn’t believe him, so he hurried to reassure her, almost swearing an oath right then and there.

But Amelia couldn’t have cared less. Annoyed, she jumped down from the tree with a cold expression.

“I have no interest in teaming up with you. Go find your brothers if you want an alliance.”

It was too late for reconciliation.

Ever since their grandfather’s death and the family repeatedly choosing to believe and protect Gianna, she had firmly decided to sever ties with them.

If it weren’t for the unchangeable blood that bound her to the Nygards, she would’ve severed every last connection long ago.

Still, she couldn’t bring herself to let go of her grandparents and her aunt–especially her grandfather, who had once devoted so much effort to training her. Combined with her mentor’s guidance, they had shaped her into the person she is today.

So for their sake, she would never let outsiders take over the Nygard Group.

As for her so–called family members, they could expect nothing friendly from her again in this

life.

They would either be enemies or strangers.

Not even acquaintances, let alone partners.

There would never be a third option.

“They’re too stupid. They’re not even worth comparing to you. Please, believe me.”

When Marcelo saw her walking away, clearly unwilling to stay alone with him or even acknowledge him, he grew so anxious that he didn’t know what to do.

“I’m not teaming up with fools. Don’t follow me.” Amelia’s words hit him straight.

He had the nerve to call others stupid when he himself had been used and toyed with.

In public, they might think Gianna was the brothers‘ plaything.

She was just an adopted daughter. She could never be compared to the true bloodline of the Nygards.

But in truth, those fools were the ones being played.

Every one of them.

I thought taking the first step was already more than enough, but clearly, this brat didn’t appreciate it in the slightest!
