Chapter 4 I Found It Out
After Alisa left, Sherman angrily put the cup heavily on the table and said, "Damn it!"
Laney poured Sherman a glass of water and comforted, "Well, don't be angry. She hasn't cared about us since long ago. It's no use getting angry."
Alisa was adopted by Sherman and Laney eight years ago.
At that time, Sherman was looking for Gianna crazily. After looking for her for a long time, Sherman got no news, and he accidentally met Alisa.
Alisa resembled Gianna. Sherman missed Gianna and felt that Alisa was pitiful, so he adopted Alisa.
Alisa was well-behaved and sensible. She was also honey-tongued and could make people laugh.
Brenna liked Alisa so much just because of her sugared words.
Two years after they adopted Alisa, Brenna took her and raised her personally. In just a few years, Alisa was cultivated into the wisest girl in Rheinsville City, which made many people envious.
However, since Alisa lived with Brenna, Alisa had been looking down upon Sherman and Laney. Although Alisa didn't show it on the surface, her words always broke Sherman and Laney's hearts.
Sherman and Laney were not silly. As time went by, they certainly understood Alisa's thoughts, so they naturally didn't have much contact with Alisa anymore.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have adopted her back then!" Sherman was full of remorse.
"You were kind to her at that time." Laney glanced at Gianna and said, "The question now is how to break off the engagement! According to Alisa, Mom is determined to let Gia marry Lloyd. If we don't agree, I'm afraid Mom won't give up."
"I must break off the engagement for Gia. At worst, Mom will take the house back. As an adult, I can definitely support my family!"
Laney sighed and thought, "I'm afraid that Brenna won't let us live at ease in Rheinsville City."
Gianna lowered her head and browsed the information about Lloyd on the smartphone.
Lloyd was famous for his family, so his information was complete.
There was everything about Lloyd on the phone, including his phone number, but without his picture.
"Mr. Geller, don't be so hard on yourself. I can break off the engagement by myself." Gianna raised her head with a smile on her pretty face. She said, "Don't worry about the house. I will buy you one."
Gianna thought, "For the sake of Sherman treating me well, buying him a house can be regarded as fulfilling my filial duty."
"Gia..."
Sherman wanted to say something, but Gianna stood up and dialed a phone number.
"Is that Mr. Finley? This is Ms. Geller." After the phone was answered, Gianna directly said.
On the other end of the phone, Lloyd's fingers paused for a moment. Lloyd raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's up?"
"I want to break off the engagement." Gianna's voice was very crisp.
Lloyd was stunned. After a while, he said with a smile, "I agree!"
Looking at the mobile phone that had hung up, Gianna was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect Lloyd to agree so easily.
In a high-end club in Rheinsville City.
Lloyd was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding his phone with his slender fingers. He stared at the phone record with his deep eyes and suddenly had a faint smile.
"Is that really Ms. Geller?" Irvin asked in disbelief, holding a wine glass.
"She said she was," Lloyd replied in a deep and brisk voice.
