The sound of breaking porcelain echoed through the room as Gigi's face contorted with rage. "Mom! I'm going to make that bitch Nadine pay for this!"
Evelyn felt a pang of sympathy when she saw Gigi's swollen eyes. She quickly pulled her into a comforting embrace and whispered, "Gigi, don't get so worked up. It's not worth it. Don't let it get to you. Someone will take care of Nadine."
After a moment, she added, "You mentioned there were issues with Nadine's pregnancy timeline. I'll have someone investigate it."
Evelyn had never liked Nadine. Despite Daniel and Adam's affection for her, Evelyn had resisted accepting a woman from humble origins into the Hamilton family.
She had always disapproved of Brad marrying Nadine. As a woman who had given birth herself, she now also questioned the discrepancies in Sean's birthdate, as Gigi had pointed out.
When Gigi heard her mother was going to investigate further, she stopped crying immediately.
"Mom, make sure to dig deep. Find out everything, and if possible, expose Nadine to get her out of the Hamilton family and ruin her reputation! Once Brad sees her true colors and gets rid of her, then Jean can be my sister-in-law. She's been so good to me. I don't want Nadine as my sister-in-law."
Evelyn gently touched Gigi's swollen eyes. "Alright."
"Let's go. I'll take you to get something to eat first, and then we'll head to time-out. Brad is really angry this time, so try not to provoke him any further."
Evelyn and Gigi left Phoenix Villa and headed back to Clover Villa. As they did, a cold winter rain began to fall outside.
After Nadine went upstairs, she went to Sean's room instead of her own room. Standing by the window, she gazed at the unexpected winter rain in a daze.
