Chapter 519

“She’s my daughter!!”

Lady Gill’s voice instantly stunned everyone.

They looked at her incredulously.

Mrs. Spencer gazed blankly first at Nara, then at Lady Gill. Her eyes widened in shock.

Gary was even more astonished.

Only Nara stood there, dazed.

Lady Gill pointed at Nara and turned to Mrs. Spencer. “Did you slap my daughter?”

Mrs. Spencer wanted to shake her head, but Lady Gill immediately said, “If it wasn’t you, was it your son?”

Mrs. Spencer dared not shake her head anymore.

She looked at Lady Gill. Her knees suddenly buckled, and she fell heavily to the ground. “Cousin, I’m sorry. I was the one who hit her!”

She slapped her own right cheek with a “smack.” “I’m so sorry! Cousin, please forgive us!”

Lady Gill didn’t move.

Mrs. Spencer then smacked her left cheek with another “smack.” “It was all my fault! I didn’t know Nara was Miss Gill. I thought she had offended the Gill family, so I wanted to vent anger on your behalf…”

“Smack!”

After that, Mrs. Spencer slapped herself again. “Cousin, I was such a fool. Please forgive me for this once!”

Witnessing this beside his mother, Gary couldn’t help but rush over to Mrs. Spencer. “Mom, it’s my fault. Please get up.”

Mrs. Spencer didn’t dare to get up.

Gary then looked at Lady Gill, glanced at Nara once, and clenched his fists.

At that moment, an unprecedented sense of shame surged through him.

Just moments ago, in fact, when Mrs. Spencer made that suggestion about making Nara his mistress, he was tempted.

Thinking back to that moment, he realized that he had always felt a sense of superiority in front of Nara. He thought she would agree and would sacrifice herself for him.

He felt that he was doing Nara a charity by accepting her.

He intended to make Nara his mistress and would give her money afterward.

Apart from marrying her, he could give her anything!

But now, when his purported superiority was stripped away, when his own mother was kneeling before Lady Gill begging for mercy, and when Nara suddenly became Miss Gill, he felt deeply powerless and ashamed.

He suddenly turned to Nara, his eyes filled with tears. “Nara, could you please ask Lady Gill to drop the matter?”

Nara clenched her fists.

She gave a bitter smile and lowered her eyes.

Why should Gary ask her to back down?

What was he doing when his mother was pressuring her?!

All that was happening before her seemed so alien to Nara.

She stepped back, then turned to Lady Gill, wanting to say something…

But just then, she heard a low curse. “Fuck!”

Suddenly, like a gust of wind, Austin rushed in front of Gary, grabbed his collar, and punched Gary over and over again!

“That’s for bullying my sister!

“How dare you do such things to her?!

“I’ll kill you, you bastard!”

Mrs. Spencer cried out in alarm and immediately rushed to Austin, trying to pull him away, but she couldn’t budge him.

She looked at Lady Gill, but her gaze moved past the latter and fell on Nara. Mrs. Spencer rushed to Nara and grabbed her hand. “Nara, for all the care Gary took of you in college, please spare him! Just this once! I beg you! Please!”

Mrs. Spencer then knelt before Nara with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing to her.

Nara stared at Mrs. Spencer, thinking of how Mrs. Spencer had pressured her moments before, then suddenly stepped forward and pushed Austin.

Startled by her touch, Austin immediately jumped up.

He looked at Nara. “Barbara, scum like him deserves a beating! Don’t intervene. Even if I kill him, no one will think twice about it!”

But Nara shook her head.

She looked down at Gary, who was lying on the ground, and then took out some paper and a pen. “He hasn’t done things that deserve death.”

Austin, however, showed a ruthless streak. “He bullied you, so he deserves to die! Rest assured, I’ll make him regret this for the rest of his life!”

Nara stared at him, but a trace of shock and fear flickered through her eyes.

Austin’s current image overlapped with the Austin who had forced her to the edge of the hospital rooftop like a devil, instilling fear in Nara’s heart.

She gestured with her hands and took a step back.

Austin was slightly startled by her reaction.

Lady Gill immediately said, “That’s enough!”

Seeing Nara turn pale, Austin didn’t dare to strike Gary again and turned to look at the latter, only to see that his nose was swollen and his face bruised, not to mention the countless punches he had taken.

Austin took a deep breath. “Get lost!”

Mrs. Spencer immediately crawled to Gary’s side and bent over to help him up. “Son, are you okay?”

Gary wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clenched his fists tightly.

His gaze still lingered on Nara; he couldn’t look away.

Mrs. Spencer tugged at him to leave, but Gary stood still without budging.

Austin raised his fist. “Why are you still here? Do you want to taste my fist again?!”

Gary tensed his jaw and finally said, “Nara, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I really am sorry!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Spencer also looked at Nara with anticipation.

Nara was turned sideways to Gary.

Hearing what he said, Nara turned to glance at him.

Gary’s face was streaked with tears. “Nara, I know I’ve wronged you, but I truly love you. I didn’t want to lose you, so I lost my mind for a moment. Nara… I’m sorry. Can you forgive me, please?”

He wiped the blood from his nose and stepped toward Nara.

But Nara looked at him with a cold expression.

She took out her paper and pen and began writing. “Gary, I’ll never forget how you and your mother forced me to become your mistress. You’ve become unrecognizable. We’re over.”

Before she had finished writing, Gary wanted to speak, but Mrs. Spencer immediately interjected, “Gary, don’t interrupt Miss Gill. Look at what she wants to tell you…”

Nara handed the paper to Gary to read.

At that moment, Nara felt a sense of irony.

When she was merely Nara, she didn’t even have the chance to write or speak; she always wanted to try to explain her origins to the mother and son, but each time, before she could finish, they would impatiently interrupt her.

But now that she was Miss Gill, she could write such a long passage, and Mrs. Spencer and Gary were willing to wait for her…

Was status really that important?!

After reading what was on the paper, Gary was completely stunned.

He stared dully at Nara.

Just as he wanted to say something, Austin shouted fiercely, “Get lost! If you don’t leave now, I won’t show you any mercy!!”

Mrs. Spencer, scared, grabbed Gary and tried to leave.

But Gary fixed his gaze on Nara and suddenly pushed Mrs. Spencer aside before rushing straight to Nara. “Nara, can’t you give me one more chance? I really like you and can’t afford to lose you!”

Nara struggled to pry his hands away.

Yet Gary clung on desperately, knowing there would be no more hope for them once she broke free.

Nara lowered her gaze.

Gary’s voice was full of pleading. “Nara, give me another chance, just one more chance…”

Seeing this, Austin immediately stepped forward.

But he was held back by Lady Gill.

Lady Gill looked at Nara. “Nara, do you… want to give him another chance?”
