Chapter 2159 Finding Out Their Identity
In the gazebo, Gianna finally chose to tell Brittany the truth. ''Your mother passed away shortly after
giving birth to you. These years have also been hard for you.''
As she spoke, her eyes teared up just a little. The love between kin was definitely a bond that couldn't
be snapped even in the face of death. So, although so many years had passed, she could still see her
sister smiling happily in her memories. Of course, when it came to the truth behind her sister's death...
Gianna merely glossed over the matter. She didn't see a need in mentioning the feud between Billy and
the Nolan Family.
She only did this so that Brittany would be able to digest this information without getting too agitated.
Unfortunately, even though her words were kind and gentle, Brittany's mind was an utter mess.
She would have never thought that the elegant and proud woman in front of her was her aunt. She had
asked her father countless times about her mother over the years, but he would always find a way to
dodge her questions. After a while, he would constantly use dystocia as an excuse to avoid the topic
altogether. Yet, now that this woman before her was actually her aunt, she didn't know how to react.
Not only that, but her aunt was also coincidentally the richest woman in Bainbridge.
For a moment, Brittany was at a loss as to what to do.
She could only look at Matthew, the only man whom she could trust and rely on at this moment.
Alas, Matthew also didn't know what to say when faced with her bewildered and desperate eyes. He
just knew that Brittany needed Gianna's protection.
Besides, the truth wouldn't stay hidden forever and it was best to face things in a somewhat controlled
environment. It was just a matter of timing.
After a slight hesitation, he nodded and replied softly, ''Brit, Miss Gianna is right. You're her biological
niece.''
As soon as Brittany heard his words, she couldn't restrain her feelings any longer. Tears immediately
rolled down her cheeks like a string of broken pearls.
''Tell me, Matt, did you know about this?''
Her words hung heavy in the air, and Matthew stiffened.
It seemed that he would have to face the music as well. He couldn't evade this question nor could he
bring himself to lie. So, he nodded. ''I'm sorry, Brit.''
Brittany sobbed harder as betrayal and heartbreak overwhelmed her. She knew how desperately she
yearned for maternal love.
Ever since she could think for herself, she could only watch enviously as other children act childishly
and playfully in their mother's embrace.
She had been living a motherless life like this for more than twenty years. As she grew, she had never
once outgrown her longing for a mother. Sometimes she would hide away and gaze at pictures of her Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
mother as she cried bitter tears. It wouldn't be that bad if she knew that her mother had relatives in this
world when she was young. At least there was some hope to reconnect with her dead mother through
their memories. Maybe over time, the trauma of such loss would heal with time and new memories.
Perhaps she would have just wondered why they never bothered to contact her to catch up. To make
matters worse, even the person she trusted the most, Matthew, had kept this from her.
The more Brittany thought about it, the sadder she felt. Eventually, she couldn't help but lay her head
down as she wailed her heart out. Her reaction made the two people in the gazebo feel even more
distressed.
Unfortunately, some things, although harsh, had to be faced.
Thus, he could only turn to Gianna in resignation. ''Ms. Nolan, I'm afraid I'll have to leave her in your
care for the time being.''
Gianna smiled sadly. ''Of course. I had already planned to do that from the very beginning. All right, you
should head to work. I'll try my best to comfort Brit.'' Coոtent of Drаmаոovels.cоm
Finally, he turned to Gianna and bid her farewell, saying, ''Ms. Nolan, I'll see you again.'' With that, he
turned around and left the manor.
