Chapter 271
Brad's face fell when he heard Evelyn's words. His eyes turned a shade darker.
He stared at Evelyn as if she were a stranger. Evelyn had never seen such a gaze from him before.
Feeling the weight of his cold stare, Evelyn felt her heart sink. She hurriedly said, "Brad, even though you're not my biological son, I'm still your mother. I've always treated you as my own son. How can you look at me like this?"
In fact, Evelyn was Brad's aunt. Since his birth, she had taken a special liking to him and treated him like her own child.
Afterward, her sister passed away when Brad was only three.
She had defied social norms to marry Daniel, solely to take care of Brad.
Over the years, she had raised both children and earned the respect of the Hamiltons.
However, everything changed when Nadine entered the Hamiltons.
She couldn't understand how Nadine had managed to charm Adam and Daniel, making them obey her every command.
Her status in the family had plummeted drastically.
If not for Gigi's protection and Brad's respect, she wouldn't have had a good life at all.
Brad moved his bandaged hand, deliberately positioning the bloodstained part in front of her for a clear view.
"Mom, Gigi did this, and it has nothing to do with Nadine."
Though he was unsure why Evelyn was shifting the blame onto Nadine, Nadine was truly innocent in this matter.
Evelyn stared at her adopted son in shock. She couldn't believe her ears.
Brad was actually speaking up for Nadine.
"What do you mean, Brad? Are you saying Nadine is not at fault? Gigi has such a good temper and is usually so obedient. Nadine must have provoked her first. Why else would Gigi use a knife against her?"
Evelyn could hardly believe what she was hearing.
She couldn't believe that the child she had raised was now defending Nadine.noveldrama
Brad remained expressionless. The coldness in his eyes was almost palpable.
He glared at Evelyn and said, "Mom,
I saw it with my own eyes. Gigi was the one who threatened Nadine with a knife. Not only did she threaten Nadine, but she also aimed the knife at Sean."
From the moment Gigi appeared at Phoenix Villa, she had acted like a madwoman and showed no regard for anyone else.
It was at that moment that Brad realized just how outrageous Gigi had become.
Gigi was already an adult in her 20s, yet she was bullying a five-year-old child. He wondered if all the family's efforts in raising her had been for nothing.
Evelyn blinked and quickly thought of a counterargument. "How can this be Gigi's fault? She's still a kid. If she hadn't been driven to desperation by Nadine and Sean, she wouldn't have acted so recklessly. Even a cornered rabbit will bite. Don't be deceived by Nadine's tricks!"
Since reasoning failed, Brad had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Evelyn was trying to guilt trip him with their relationship. He had never seen someone so shameless before.
"Mom, no matter what you say, today's incident was Gigi's fault. If she doesn't
show any remorse, I have no qualms about calling the police."
Gigi dared to threaten Nadine and Sean with a knife even when he was present.
He could imagine what she might do in his absence.
At this moment, he felt a pang of deep sympathy for Nadine.
