apter 75 Exposed She struggled to her feet . " Grandma - my whole body hurts . Take me to the hospital ." Ursula's gaze cut like a blade . " Not yet . If we're checking this , we'll check it properly . " & 44 Finished Emery saw Gianna pale and trembling and felt a knife in her chest . " Mom , we should take Gianna to the hospital first - falling down stairs could mean a concussion . " Raymond hurried to call Marcelo and have him take Gianna to the ER . Gianna swallowed gratefully ; she was desperate to get away before everything blew up .

Ursula almost held to her position , but Marcelo was already carrying Gianna out the door . George had the surveillance footage ready. The high - definition video showed it clearly : Gianna lunged at Amelia first , and after being shoved off , she deliberately toppled toward the stairs . More shocking , during the fall she adjusted her body to protect the vital parts - she'd shielded her head , so a concussion was unlikely . Maybe not even a scratch . Ursula let out a long , disappointed sigh . She hadn't seen Gianna in a while ; she didn't expect her to turn into someone like this .

The girl felt like a stranger now - she used to seem so obedient . Ursula closed her eyes and drew a slow breath , holding back her anger and disappointment . " Mom ... " Emery started , uneasy , but Ursula raised a hand to stop her . " Enough . You've spoiled her all these years , and this is what she becomes - so scheming ? " Ursula snapped . Raymond fell silent , forehead creased . He had always doted on Gianna , but the footage left no argument . Amelia stood off to the side , expression cool , as if none of it concerned her .

He really knew how to judge people ! Among the grandchildren , Amelia was steady and reliable .

Emery couldn't help but interject , " Mom , maybe Gianna just made a stupid mistake - she's young , we- " Ursula scoffed . " Young ? Knowing how to set up your own sister ? Knowing how to fake an injury to win sympathy ? That kind of scheming doesn't happen overnight . " If this kept up , she'd be completely ruined . Emery went quiet , her face flushing . Just then , Marcelo rushed back in . He bowed his head before Ursula . " Gianna's ... she's okay . She's just shaken ." Ursula snorted . " Of course she's fine . It was all staged . " Marcelo faltered .

This was bad - Ursula was furious , and that made things difficult . " Grandma , Gianna isn't like that- " Marcelo started , but Ursula's sharp look cut him off . His throat bobbed ; he fell silent . Emery gripped her son's arm and murmured , " Marcelo , don't- " Ursula was still too angry ; arguing now would only make things worse .

" Emery reached out , heartbroken , but Raymond grabbed her arm to hold her back . " I was just so scared ," Gianna hiccupped . " Amelia is the real Nygard daughter , and I'm the foster child . I was afraid you all would stop loving me - but I already think of you as family . " Grandma , I was selfish - punish me . I won't ever do it again . " She suddenly dropped to her knees and slapped herself hard . The family winced in sympathy . L Amelia gave a short , mirthless laugh . Gianna really knew how to play them .
