Chapter 17 They Must Be Courting Death to Dare Bully Mommy
Gianna sat in the taxi without saying a word. She held her child tightly as if trying to prote
ct the last treasure she had left. South‘s small arms wound themselves around her neck. “
Don‘t be sad, Mommy. I will get back everything you lost for
you.” Kate chimed in too, “That‘s right; South is right. You‘re already back. How can we all
ow her to continue acting so arrogantly? Everything she snatched from you, we‘ll get them
back again.” Thus, Gianna smiled. “Don‘t worry; ‘m fine.” Then, they returned to La Grand
e Maison. When South got out of the car, a stab of pain went through his knee and he near
ly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gianna reacted quickly and caught him. “South, what‘s w
rong?” South endured the pain and pretended to put up a calm front. “It‘s nothing.” Howe
ver, Gianna wasn‘t that easy to fool. She immediately squatted down. “Show me; what‘s w
rong with your leg?” Then, he avoided her. “It‘s nothing. Mommy, I‘m fine. Let‘s go home.”
Ignoring him, she rolled up his pants. Immediately, she saw that his knee was bruised. Mor
eover, the top of his knee was scraped and the skin was torn. Against his fair and tender s
kin, the bruises stood out shockingly.
Sucking
in a deep breath, her heart seemed to clench in pain. Then, she bent down and carried hi
m in her arms. “Let‘s go home quickly.”
As soon as they reached home, Gianna placed South on the sofa. At the same time, Kate b
rought the medical kit over.
Thus, Gianna gently swabbed at the wound with cotton wool soaked in disinfecting alcohol
. She was so distressed that her heart felt like it had shattered
to pieces; she lightly blew on the wound as she gently cleaned it.
“Mommy, it doesn‘t hurt,” South consoled her when he saw how distressed she was.
Unfortunately, the more considerate he was, the worse she felt. She said
nothing but her tears slipped out of her eyes.

dragged in to suffer with me too.
Afterward, South closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
When Gianna finally left, he sneakily got out of bed and sat
down in front of his computer again. Then, his two small hands swiftly flew across the
keyboard and he quickly found the studio where Kaylee worked. After finding a document
folder on her computer, a smug smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The firewalls are a
joke; there are no technical skills

He scrolled through the file, muttering to himself, “How ugly.” Then, he hit the Enter butto
n. Deleted! Looking at the empty page, South felt much better. How dare you bully Momm
y, you must be courting death.
At the Nolan group the
next day, Xavier held out his phone. “President Nolan, look at this; is that Miss Aubrey?”
Silas frowned slightly. Taking the phone, he glanced down at it. It was a short mashup vide
o probably taken by one of the customers dining there. The headline was ‘Restaurant Own
er Sides With Beautiful Mother–
Utterly Satisfying Outcome‘. It was a scene of Kaylee pulling a child out of the chair, follow
ed by a scene depicting Gianna sending Kaylee flying with her kick, and lastly, a shot of th
e sign saying ‘Kaylee Aubrey and Dogs Not Allowed Inside‘. His frown deepened. “Which fa
mily does Kaylee Aubrey belong to?” Xavier replied, “Her father is Gael Aubrey of the Aubr
ey Company.” Then, Silas went through the comments, scanning through
them quickly before raising his eyes to ask, “Is the child okay?” “I think so,” Xavier said. T
hen, Silas frowned again. “Why does this place look so similar to Brian‘s restaurant?” In re
sponse, Xavier chuckled. “It is Young Master Brian‘s restaurant. It‘s the one near the mall.
I can‘t believe Young Master Brian supported Miss Aubrey so much that he even put up a si
gn like that.” Meanwhile, Silas fell into deep thought. Brian is never one to poke his nose i
nto somebody else‘s business. Besides, didn‘t Gianna steal his phone last time? Why woul
d he want to help her? Something‘s not right! Her medical skills are top–
notch. Moreover, she earned 50 million just from one consultation. Why would she need
to steal a phone? What am I not getting right? Thus, he took out his phone and called Land
on. The phone rang several
times but went unanswered. Because of that, his mood became more and more irritable. J
ust as his patience was about to run out, Landon answered the phone. “U–
Uncle!” His voice was hesitant. It seemed like he had debated with himself for a long while
before answering. “Where did you find Gianna Aubrey?” Silas went
right to the point. Coupled with his stern voice, the alarm bells in Landon‘s head rang loudl
y. “W–What‘s wrong? Is Gianna unable to cure Great–grandpa?” Silas didn‘t answer.
Instead, he emphatically asked again, “I‘m asking you how you got to know her, where
she’s from, and how much you know about her. Tell me everything
you know.”
Landon didn‘t know what was going on; he was so scared that he started stuttering. “1–4–
4–
1 met her in Mastar, but her hometown is in Summer City. She is quite a righteous person.
Back then, she saved me when I was being chased by debtors. Also… Also, she is single.
Moreover, her medical skills are top–notch. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t have asked
her to go back. Is she unable to cure Great–
grandpa?” Silas replied, “That‘s enough; shut up.” Landon was completely dumbfounded.
“Okay.” “How long
do you plan to stay away?” Silas asked. Landon didn‘t understand the question, so he stup
idly went, “Huh?” “What do you mean by ‘huh? I‘m asking you to get your ats back here. Y
ou‘re not allowed to sneak away when you come back. It‘s such a pain to get a hold of you
.”

Landon could tell that Silas didn‘t seem to be angry, so he grinned broadly and said, “U–
Uncle, you knew? Uh, are you still angry at me?” Silas snorted, “I‘ll forgive you on account
of your role in saving Grandpa.” “Thanks, Uncle.”
Then, he ended the call, ignoring Landon‘s joyful yelling. After mulling over it for a while, h
e made another call. The phone rang twice, then a woman‘s voice sounded over the phon
e. “Silas.” “Aunt Cathy, there‘s something I wanted to ask you about. The last time
Brian fainted by the roadside, who was it that sent him to the hospital?” he asked coldly. O
n the other hand, the voice on the other side of the phone didn‘t seem affected. “It was
a young lady with the surname Aubrey. That young lady was such a nice person; she even
helped to pay for the medical fees. Afterward, I wanted to pay her back, but she refused to
accept it. Now that I think about it, she seemed rather anxious back then.”
When he heard those words, he frowned again. A young lady with the surname Aubrey…
Was it really Gianna Aubrey?
Pursing his lips, he asked, “Did she say what she was rushing to do?” The voice on the phon
just finished an interview and
was about to go home.” It really was Gianna Aubrey! Afterward, Silas was so shocked
that he fell into a daze. He sat in his chair without moving for a long while. There was a
strange feeling in his chest–this result was out of his expectations, yet weirdly seemed to
fit within reason. Right now, Silas was in a terrible mood. Gianna rescued Brian, yet I said
that she had a poor moral character. Moreover, I threatened to end her career!
.. Feeling rather irritable, he said, “Go and check the surveillance system of the airport on
the day we returned to the country. I want to know just what the hell happened when
Gianna stole the phone at the airport.”
Thus, Xavier responded in a hurry and quickly left.
Silas pinched his temples in irritation, but his heart was wondering, If Gianna isn‘t a thief,
then how am I supposed to face her?
