Chapter 511
Shielded behind Gary, Nara had tears in her eyes upon hearing his words as she looked at him with emotion.
She was as innocent as a girl who had never been in love, and the idea of having to part ways with Gary filled her with distress.
Now that Gary had resolutely chosen her, the faint hesitation that had just sprung up in her mind made her feel guilty.
After all, if Gary was standing up to his mother for her sake, how could she possibly back down?
Mrs. Spencer, aka Gary’s mother, looked straight past Gary to Nara behind him when she heard those words. “Nara, right?
Listen, young lady, since I can’t reason with my son, let me talk to you! I’m asking you two to break up for your good. Think about
it: you and he are simply from different worlds. He’ll have to socialize with elite people when he takes over the company. What
help could you possibly be? Won’t he find you a burden?
“And with your background, how could you be a match

for the Spencer family? If you marry him, he’ll grow tired of you sooner or later. Therefore, you should break up! Here’s the deal–
I’ll give you some money so you can go abroad and escape the Gill family. Consider it compensation for a bright future!”
Listening to these words, Gary looked toward Nara.
His eyes were clear and unwavering.
Meeting his gaze, Nara shook her head at Mrs. Spencer, stepped forward firmly, and stood by Gary’s
side.
Immediately, Gary took her hand. “Mom, there’s no need to try and divide us. Let me tell you, we’re not breaking up! I’ve decided
to love only Nara for the rest of my life! If I ever change my heart, if I ever let her down, may I be struck by lightning and not die a
good death!”
Nara stepped forward quickly, covering his mouth and shaking her head.
She wouldn’t let him say such things.
Mrs. Spencer then shouted angrily, “You, you ungrateful creature! You don’t take your mother into account at all! Are you trying to
give me a heart

attack?”
Gasping for breath, Mrs. Spencer clutched her chest.
However, Gary didn’t back down. “Mom, believe it or not, I like Nara. That tranquil quality she has is the peaceful life I’ve always
wanted. Everyone pursues different things. You want the Spencer family to grow bigger and richer, but all I want is to live a
simple, happy life. Just to have a stable.life with Nara is enough. Please stop doing this to us, okay?”
Mrs. Spencer immediately said, “No! I’ve said it: I won’t
allow it!”
“Even if you don’t want to, you have to!”
Gary said, “I’m not going home with you. I’m an adult now, a college graduate. I can decide on my life!”
He said, “You can leave now. I want to be with Nara. If
you don’t help me make peace with the Gill family, I’ll stay here to protect her!”
Mrs. Spencer shouted in anger, “What can you protect her from? Do you not know how much of a scoundrel Austin is? Your legs
turn to jelly at the sight of him, so what will you do when he comes here when you’re still
around?”

Gary had always been timid, and his legs turned to jelly with fear at her words, but he stood before Nara,
responding firmly, “I can take a beating with Nara together!”
Mrs. Spencer was speechless.
Gary looked at Nara with genuine emotion, his gaze serious and persistent, “Nara, I’ll treat you well. Even if I’m useless, I won’t
let you face all this alone.”
Hearing his words, Nara was touched even more deeply. She immediately waved her hand, wanting to say there was no need
and that Austin wouldn’t hit her
again...
She wanted to say, “I’m the little princess of the Gill family...”
But before she could speak, Mrs. Spencer suddenly clutched her chest and fell backward. She staggered a few steps and leaned
against the wall.
Gary was startled and exclaimed, “Mom!”
Gary supported his mother and turned to Nara. “Nara, come and see what’s wrong with my mom! Is she alright?”
Nara was also panic–stricken and immediately stepped forward.
After all, she was a doctor, and after a quick examination of Mrs. Spencer, she realized something and waved her hand at Gary,
gesturing and explaining, “Your mother is fine... she’s faking it...”
Gary asked Mrs. Spencer, “Mom, you’re faking it?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Spencer glared at Nara fiercely and immediately turned to Gary, “Am I faking chest pain? What does this
girl know? She’s just a medical student! Gary, do you not care about your mother anymore?”
Gary looked puzzled.
But Nara shook her head and waved her hands, indicating she knew what she was talking about.
Mrs. Spencer then started crying out again, clutching her chest. “I’ve worked myself into developing a heart condition for you,
and this is how you treat me? Gary, I’ve painstakingly raised you! Do you think it’s fair? Do you remember when I was bullied,
and as a child, you held me and said that when you grew up, you would be successful and make me proud? Is this how you
repay me? Bringing home a mute to make me the laughingstock of relatives and friends? I might as well be dead! If you want to
be with this Nara, I’ll die!!”
Gary looked at her. “Mom, stop pretending... Nara was the top student in her class, and her diagnosis cannot be wrong. You
don’t have chest pain at all.”
Nara nodded at Gary.
Mrs. Spencer froze, and she was furious seeing Gary
trust Nara so much.
She stared at Gary sternly and shouted, “Are you sure you won’t listen to me?”
Gary nodded. “This time, I must stand firm on my chosen path. Mom, stop pushing me. Please go home! We both need to calm
down and think carefully about my future. Do I live for you or myself? Mom, after all these years comparing yourself to others,
have you been happy?”
Mrs. Spencer yelled angrily, “I’m happy! As long as it’s good for you and the family, I’m happy! Gary, you’ve disappointed me!
You must come home with me
today!”
“I said. I’m not going back..”
Gary remained firm and resolute.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Spencer stood up, pushed Gary and Nara aside, and stormed into Nara’s room.
As Nara stood bewildered, not knowing what to do, Mrs. Spencer suddenly charged out.
She held a kitchen knife she found in the house, her expression now showing traces of madness as she looked directly at Gary.
Alarmed, Gary quickly shielded Nara behind himself, “Mom, what are you doing?”
Mrs. Spencer sneered but did not advance with the knife. Instead, she placed it against her neck, glaring at Gary, and roared,
“Tell me, do you choose her or me?! If you choose her, I’ll end my life right before your eyes!!”
