The Bound Between Us

Chapter 613

Hank was seething with anger at Gianna, wishing he could erase her from existence. Sandy's life had been completely wrecked by what Gianna had done. Mason didn't waste a second and went straight to confront Gianna, but by then, the police had already taken her away.

Derek, fearing the Salstrom family's retaliation, ignored Evelyn's objections and called the authorities, urging Gianna to turn herself in. Only by surrendering could she possibly have a chance at saving herself. If the Salstroms got to her first, she'd be in big trouble. In this crucial moment, Derek wasn't about to let his emotions cloud his judgment; he knew the best move for Gianna was to hand herself over to the police.

Once Gianna was taken by the police, Evelyn rushed to Southridge Estates. Madeline, who was feeling a bit sleepy after eating some fruit and planning for a nap-thanks to her pregnancy fatigue-was interrupted by the nanny. "Ma'am, your aunt's here again, and she seems really urgent. She's outside making a fuss, wanting to see you."

The last time Camille visited Evelyn's place, it ended with her being shown the door and causing a family rift. How could she have the nerve to show up again? With a frown, Madeline said, "Let her in."

Soon, Evelyn came in, tears streaming down her face. Upon seeing Madeline, she started to plead, "Madeline, please, have mercy. Gianna's your cousin after all. She was just confused when she took Sandy."
