Chapter 173 Time Will Tell

Paige gave Giselle's hands a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry. You're the only one I'll accept as Leo's wife."

After years of pining for Leo, Giselle had long outgrown the blushing schoolgirl routine.

Now her voice carried a note of melancholy. "But what if he never feels the same way?"

"Please. With me in your corner, who else could he possibly marry?"

Giselle threw her arms around Paige. "You're the best! I don't know what I'd do without you."

Paige stroked her cheek affectionately. "Sweetie, we're going to be family. This is what family does."

"But what about Carol?" Giselle's voice dropped with worry. "She's your niece, Leo's cousin. What if we never get along? I still don't understand why she pushed me into that pool."

The truth was, Giselle knew exactly what she'd done-she just didn't know the whole story.

At her birthday party, she'd made several snide remarks about Caroline's poor taste in men.

She'd assumed they were all adults who understood consequences-that Caroline might be upset but would never actually do anything about it.

How wrong she'd been.

Besides, Giselle didn't know Caroline had lost her memory. She'd assumed their childhood grudges were water under the bridge, not realizing they'd become fresh wounds in Caroline's mind-making her dunking inevitable.

"Giselle," Paige said firmly, "you're going to be Leo's wife. I won't have you suffering in silence. You understand me?"

Their eyes met, and Giselle felt a surge of determination.

In her mind, Caroline only dared to attack her because she was the Ashbourne Group's heiress, untouchable and above

consequences.

After that birthday party, Giselle had become the laughingstock of their social circle.

She'd never been so humiliated in her entire life.

Reeves family dragged through the mud alongside her, this was no longer just personal.
