Chapter 360 She's The Real One
Upon hearing this, Old Master Levine suddenly flew into a rage.
"What did you say? I dare you to say it again!"
Gabriela stiffened her neck. She got really angry too and said, "I said, I don't agree!"
"How dare you!"
Clutching his chest, Old Master Levine's face was flushed with anger. Seeing this, Gabriela felt her heart tighten and hurried to get the medicine for him.
"Grandpa, are you okay? Hurry up and take the medicine!"
Old Master Levine slapped her away and said angrily, "Why do you still care if I live or not when you don't even listen to me? Won't you be happy if I died? No one will force you to do anything in the future."
Gabriela's heart ached. Looking at how he looked now, she did not have the heart to argue with him.
She said sadly, "Grandpa, I don't like Jaden and I don't want to marry him. I'm just speaking my mind. In your heart, isn't your grandchildren's happiness more important than power and interests?"
Old Master Levine glared at her but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Gabriela's heart gradually sank when she knew that he would not listen to her.
Fortunately, Old Master Levine was just having trouble breathing as he got too angry all of a sudden. He felt much better after he calmed down.
Gabriela stood up, wiped her tears, and looked at him calmly.
"Grandpa, you actually know that Lara isn't the child that Vivian lost, right?"
Old Master Levine trembled slightly.
His expression changed slightly.
He glared at Gabriela and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Gabriela laughed in a self-deprecating way.
"You don't have to pretend not to know. Not only do you know this, but everyone in the family knows about it. But you put on a show with everyone and let her into the Levine family because you think she is ambitious and can be controlled easily."
"Lara is the same as you. She is a person who is willing to risk everything for benefits. If she becomes your granddaughter, she will be on the same boat as the Levine family. Therefore, she'll definitely try her best to win the support of the Holland family, even for herself."
Moreover, she had a deep-rooted conflict with Clarissa. In the future, if our family and the Jordan Family really stood on the opposite stances, she must rely on the Levine family. After she got married to the Holland family, she could be helpful to our family."
She pursed her lips and paused for a few seconds before she continued, "But grandpa, what if I tell you that Vivian's child didn't die and has always been by our side? Will you still make the same decision now?"
Old Master Levine was stunned.
He looked at Gabriela in disbelief as his lips trembled slightly. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice, "What... What did you say just now?"
Gabriela looked at him calmly and repeated word by word, "I said she is still alive. She has always been by our side too."
Old Master Levine was at a loss of words.
One could tell from his eyes that he was really surprised.
Gabriela continued, "I saw it with my own eyes. On her back, there was a butterfly-shaped birthmark. When Vivian was alive, she told me that the birthmark was very special and no one else has it in this world. So at that time, Vivian joked about her being the reincarnation of butterfly fairy. So when I saw it, I knew immediately that she was the missing child."
She squatted down in front of Old Master Levine, held his hand, and said sincerely, "Grandpa, in fact, we have found her long ago. She has always been there, but we were too blind and have never recognized her. We kept pushing her away, and led to today's situation."
Old Master Levine finally recovered from his shock. He held her hand back and said anxiously, "Where did you see her?"
Gabriela replied, "On your birthday banquet, I took her to change clothes and saw the birthmark on her back."
Another shocking revelation to Old Master Levine.
"On my birthday banquet... To change her clothes?"
Could it be...
He suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
Gabriela smiled sadly. "It's hard to imagine, right? In fact, I never thought about it. Maybe it is fated and no one can do anything about it.
No one would have thought that the person we had been looking for her for a long time is just in front of us. Everyone else thought that I would be afraid that she would come back and take away everything I have now.
Only I know in my own heart that I am not afraid at all, because I never felt that she was a competitor to me.
Vivian saved me and took me out of the orphanage. Over the years, she has been treating me like her own child. Hence, I will not hate her child. To the contrary, I am actually happy to find her."
But I was in a dilemma. Should I tell you? Others might have thought we are lucky to be born into a rich and affluent family like this, but I know very well we are all bound up in the fetters created by you, grandpa.
In fact, we are used as pawns for the betterment of the family. Although I was grateful to you for raising me, teaching me, and providing me with decent education and a high social status, it did not mean that I was willing to be fettered by anyone and live under the control of others for the rest of my life.
So I thought that she should also be reluctant to be bound up too, which was the reason why I hesitated. But now, I still chose to tell you the truth, because I found that she is not the same as me.
It should be said that she was different from everyone else. She has her own opinions and ability. She also has someone who loves her, protects her, and respects her. She would not be fettered by you and be controlled by family interests. To be honest, I'm very envious of her, but unfortunately, I'm not so blessed as her.
In this case, why not let me help her? I'll take it as me returning Vivian's kindness by raising me for so many years. Even if Vivian knows about it in heaven, she should feel really happy about it."
Gabriela pursed her lips and said, "As for the Holland family, I will not marry them. If you insist, please kick me out of the house. I will accept all your punishment."
Gabriela had blurted it all out.
She struggled slightly to pull her hand out of the Old Master Levine's hand. She then got up and walked out of the room without looking back.
All of a sudden, only Old Master Levine was left in the empty room.
He sat on the rocking chair as he stared into space. It seemed that he had not recovered from the shock.
It was only after a long time that a complicated expression crept across his face. He seemed to be smiling but crying at the same time.
The corner of his mouth slowly curled up, but there were also tears rolling down his cheeks at the same time.
He raised his hand and covered his face. For the first time in his life, he cried out in pain.
......
The next day, Clarissa suddenly received a phone call.
Old Master Levine told her that he felt very sorry for Anne and her for what happened the night before last night after pondering over it. So he was inviting her for a meal at the Levine family so that he could apologize to her in person.
Clarissa was very surprised upon hearing that. At the same time, she felt really strange.
