Chapter 513 As punishment for her unruly behavior at Sean's birthday party, Gigi was confined in the back room of Hamilton Estate.
Brad pulled the plug on her allowance and reclaimed a good portion of the luxury items she had purchased. He dumped them on the street for others to get their hands on. To add insult to injury, he had people film the whole scene and sent her a video of the incident.
It was more painful to watch her beloved luxury goods being discarded like worthless junk than if someone had pushed her and ground her face against the pavement.
After realizing how badly he'd failed in raising his daughter properly, Daniel ordered the housekeepers to starve her by giving her just one meal a day. Evelyn wasn't allowed to visit her, and anyone who let her out without his approval would be dismissed immediately.

From then on, none of the housekeepers dared to help Evelyn. The most they could do was relay a few words back and forth.
Gigi had been living like this for ten days now. She was so hungry that her whole body felt feeble, her legs felt like jelly, and she could barely muster the strength to speak.
What angered her the most was that her brother and father hadn't just locked her up-they'd humiliated her in the worst way possible. One stripped her of her freedom, while the other destroyed every luxury item she held dear.
Gigi cried herself dry in the back room, wasting away until she was nothing but skin and bones.
Technically, she wasn't supposed to have access to a phone. However, Evelyn had her ways and managed to get one smuggled in through a housekeeper. It was the only thing that brought her a sliver of joy during her confinement.
Late at night, when the housekeepers guarding her had all dozed off, Gigi, who couldn't sleep, pulled out the phone she'd stashed under her pillow and started scrolling aimlessly.
She was sick of being cooped up in that place. If she didn't get out soon, she felt like she'd suffocate. Calling it a "room" was a stretch-it held nothing but a small bed, a table, and a few books.
For a pampered young lady like Gigi, this solitary and simple life was pure torture. If she wasn't released soon, she was certain she'd lose her mind. Yet, neither her father nor her brother had breathed a word about setting her free.
What on earth was she supposed to do? As she was feeling trapped and restless, Jean called. Gigi immediately answered it.

I'm losing my mind here! "My brother even tossed all my favorite luxury items out onto the street for beggars to take! I can't take it anymore, Jean. It feels like there' nothing left in me." She burst into tears as soon as she heard Jean's voice.
She couldn't see Evelyn, and her father and brother didn't care about her at all. All the suffering she'd endured over the past few days poured out in a torrent of sobs.
"Jean, you wouldn't believe how awful my brother is being to me! He's so cruel! Can't you talk to m him? If this gbes on any longer, I'm seriously going to die here! Please, Jean, talk ssense into him!" f
With every desperate plea that spilled from her mouth, the hope that had once filled Jean's heart gradually faded. Gig was Brad's younger sister, yet even she faced such harsh treatment. This was proof enough of how much Nadine meant to him.
Clearly, she wasn't "just someone insignificant" he made her out to be. The ound Perhaps he hadn't realized just how much Nadine meant to him.
