My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire! - Chapter 521
Chapter 520
….
Nara looked toward Lady Gill and then shook her head vigorously.
Austin sneered. “That’s how it should be. That scumbag has been a loser and a coward since childhood. Nara, you must stay away from someone like that!”
He stepped forward, grabbed Gary’s arm, and forcefully pushed him away. Gary initially held Nara’s hand, but he gradually let go of her until there was nothing left to hold onto. When there was finally nothing left to grasp, Austin pushed hard, and Gary staggered a few steps back.
Mrs. Spencer immediately grabbed Gary’s arm. “Son, let’s go. We can’t afford to provoke the Gill family… Stop pestering Miss Gill!”
Upon hearing this, Gary looked at Mrs. Spencer in a daze, then turned his gaze back to Nara. Overwhelmed by previous regrets and anger, he felt a surge of boldness rise within him and fiercely stepped forward. Still not daring to look Austin in the eye, he just stared at Nara. “Nara! Does our year of friendship at the university mean nothing compared to a moment of folly when I lost my head? You’re so noble and so stubborn! You refuse to forgive me; what about them then?!”
The more Gary spoke, the more aggrieved he became. He pointed angrily at Lady Gill and Austin. “Now that you’re Miss Gill, you look down on me, right? So, you refuse to give me a chance! And these two people are the ones who caused all of today’s disasters!”
Gary’s eyes turned red as he stared fixedly at Nara and slowly said, “If it weren’t for the Gill family’s bully, my mother wouldn’t have treated you that way! If we hadn’t mistakenly believed that you offended the Gill family, my mother wouldn’t have opposed us! If it weren’t for the immense power of the Gill family, my mother wouldn’t have made me betray you for ‘Miss Gill’! The hurt I caused you was just an insignificant, emotional one, but what about them? They forced you to jump from a building, trampled your dignity underfoot, and tread it all over the ground! Just because you become Miss Gill, which gives you such a high status, are you going to forgive them?”
Gary moaned in pain. “Why can you forgive their mistakes but not mine? Why?!”
Upon hearing this, Austin’s anger intensified, and he immediately grabbed Gary by his clothes. “Shut your mouth! A scumbag like you should stop stirring up trouble between my sister and me!”
But Gary had reached his most aggrieved point, and upon hearing that, he used all his strength as if to shriek out all the grievances he suffered from childhood. “What about you?! Why do you have the nerve to accuse me?! Are you calling me a scumbag?! Ever since you were little, everyone in Clance knew about your character. It’s common knowledge! You’re nothing but a despicable scoundrel, a deadbeat, but people like you can be forgiven. I just made a mistake in a moment of passion. Why can’t I be forgiven?! Nara, why?! Just because my family isn’t as good as the Gill family?”
Upon hearing these words, Lady Gill hastily turned to look at Nara. Austin also turned his head. But they saw Nara standing there, her spine as straight as an arrow. At that moment, she resembled a bamboo that would never bend.
She took out her paper and pen and slowly wrote, “I have never forgiven Austin and the Gill family, nor will I forgive you, ever.”
This statement made Lady Gill slightly stunned and left Austin bewildered. Gary said in disbelief. “You haven’t forgiven them? How is that possible? Then why are you here?”
Nara wrote, “I came here to clarify that I’m the Miss Gill your mother speaks of. It was for you. But now, it seems unnecessary.”
Gary’s eyes gradually widened, and he lowered his gaze in defeat. “Is that so? So that’s how it is?”
Seeing this, Mrs. Spencer immediately grabbed Gary’s arm. “All right, let’s leave now…”
Gary’s words had offended the Gill family to the extreme! Mrs. Spencer was clear about how much Lady Gill and Austin were fixated on Miss Gill, especially Austin. With Gary pressuring Nara to say those things, Austin would hate Gary to death. It was over! Having offended the Gill family, their Spencer family was done for!
Gary seemed utterly desolate. Mrs. Spencer dragged him out of the house, then got into the car and left dejectedly.
When they witnessed such a scene, Keira and Lewis had just arrived at the entrance. They saw Gary and Mrs. Spencer look as if they were mourning over a death, and Keira didn’t know why. But seeing Nara standing before Lady Gill and Austin, Keira immediately asked Lewis to stop the car. She watched them from a distance.
Mrs. Spencer and Gary ran away. Austin, however, stared at Nara intensely, his eyes brimming with tears. He said, “Nara, what do you mean by that? Are you going to ignore me forever?”
Nara didn’t look at him but turned to Lady Gill. She gestured a farewell with her hands, then looked at Austin and wrote, “Don’t come to disturb me again, thank you.”
She then turned and walked away. But after just a couple of steps, Austin grabbed her arm.
Nara turned around and saw Austin glaring at her. “Barbara, you can’t leave. I’m your brother. You can’t refuse to forgive me!”
But Nara shook her head. Suddenly, Austin’s legs buckled, and he knelt before Nara. He had always been tough. He had verbally slandered Mary and, after being discovered by Ellis, was beaten half to death yet never gave in. He was almost beaten to death by Keira and Lewis but still kept his back straight.
Austin was so stubborn and obstinate that he never admitted his wrongs, but he was now kneeling before Nara. Nara was stunned. She wanted to help Austin up.
But Austin said, “If you don’t forgive me, I won’t stand up.”
Nara’s eyes were filled with tears, too. She looked at Austin, but what flashed through her mind was the terror of leaping from the rooftop. In those two seconds, she was filled with utter despair. It was a despair she had never felt, bestowed upon her by Austin. So, how could she forgive him?
The wounds on her body still throbbed with pain, and she had even heard from the doctor that her womb was damaged, perhaps rendering her unable to have children for the rest of her life. Growing up thinking of herself as an orphan, she longed for family and had always wished for many children. Austin had killed her dreams of having a brood of children!
So, how could she forgive him?
Nara wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took a step back, and took out a piece of paper. She wrote something down, handed the paper to Austin, and then turned and walked away.
Austin took the paper, only to see it read, “Then just kneel there.”
Austin was stunned. He leaped to his feet and charged over, trying to grab Nara’s hand, but seeing that Nara was covered in injuries, with bandages wrapped around her arm, he dared not apply any force. He could only watch helplessly as Nara walked out. He felt once she left, she would never return home again.
Austin hurriedly looked at Lady Gill. “Mom, stop her now…”
But Lady Gill’s face was already streaked with tears. She watched Nara with despair, her body trembling from crying. She didn’t dare to stop Nara, knowing that her daughter had been headstrong and determined since she was young, and once the girl made up her mind, she would never turn back.
She said to Austin, “Stop bothering your sister. She’ll never come home again.”
She said those words between broken sobs.
Austin shook his head. “No, I want Barbara to come home. I want my little sister.”
He suddenly said, “I know what we should do! There’s Keira! She’s my sister’s lifesaver. Let her talk to Barbara. My sister will surely come home.”
Mrs. Spencer said, “Don’t trouble Miss Olsen.”
Austin shouted, “If we don’t do anything, is my sister just supposed to be abandoned out there? I won’t have it! I’ll make Keira talk to my sister and let her come home! If Keira doesn’t help me persuade my sister, I won’t cooperate with their company!”
Mrs. Spencer replied, “Stop the nonsense. That’s the Nora Research Institute!”
“I don’t care what it is! If my sister comes home, I’ll hand over the Gill family on a silver platter! All I want is for my sister to come home!!”
Keira had parked her car outside the Gill family’s main gate and had just stepped out of the vehicle. She was puzzled when she heard that. She thought, “Excuse me, but what does this have to do with me?”
But the next moment, her phone vibrated, and she received a mission from that familiar number. “If you want to secure and maintain your cooperation with the Gill family and have their unconditional lifelong support, you must get Nara to return to the Gill family.”
Keira was speechless. What sort of absurd mission is this?
Just then, Nara walked out of the door and saw Keira. Their eyes met, and Nara heard what Austin said behind her. Nara thought, “So, my savior is someone from the Nora Research Institute. That’s why I was accepted by the Nora Research Institute. It was all thanks to Keira, right?”
Nara clenched her fists tightly, slowly walked up to Keira, took out her paper and pen, and wrote, “Do you want me to return to the Gills? If you need me to do it, I’ll do it for you.”
