Broken by Destiny by George Orwell 327

In this chapter, Amelia devises a plan involving Isabel to subtly expose the dysfunction within the Nygard family. Isabel, aware of Marcelo’s repeated but rejected attempts to reconcile with her, meets with Emery, who genuinely likes Isabel and hopes to mend the fractured family relationships. Isabel candidly discusses the failed relationships within the family, including Maxwell and Patience’s breakup, drawing parallels to her own situation with Marcelo. She hints that the core family issues, especially surrounding Gianna, make the Nygard family undesirable to potential partners, causing Emery to feel embarrassed and reflective.

Isabel tactfully refuses to dwell on her own life’s complications and quickly changes the subject, but her pointed remarks about Gianna’s negative impact on the family’s reputation linger with Emery. Isabel’s visit, prompted by Amelia’s suggestion, is a strategic move designed to make Emery question Gianna’s role in the family’s troubles. After leaving, Isabel messages Amelia, impressed by the plan’s success and feeling empowered to be her true self after their growing friendship.

Meanwhile, Amelia continues to shine on a reality show, excelling in challenges and earning better accommodations for herself and her team, while Gianna’s team struggles with conflict and failure. Gianna is frustrated by her losses to Amelia and unaware that Amelia is orchestrating events behind the scenes to undermine her. The chapter highlights the growing tension between Amelia and Gianna, as well as the subtle manipulation Amelia uses to influence the family dynamics from afar.

Chapter 327: Amelia’s Plan

Amelia wasn’t fabricating anything. She was fully aware that Marcelo truly longed to reconcile with Isabel, yet his repeated attempts had been met with constant rejection.

Emery held onto the hope that she could somehow assist her son in mending the fractured relationship with Isabel.

Regarding Isabel becoming part of the family, Emery felt a genuine sense of happiness—she truly liked Isabel.

When it came to family background, intelligence, appearance, and overall capabilities, Isabel was nothing short of exceptional.

“Mrs. Nygard, let’s not dwell on that. Honestly, I think my life is quite fine the way it is now,” Isabel responded with a tone that left no room for argument.

Her words were a clear refusal, and she quickly steered the conversation elsewhere.

“About Maxwell and Patience breaking up—it’s basically the same story as Marcelo and me. Now Maxwell wants Patience back, but she’s completely avoiding him.”

“Mrs. Nygard, I honestly believe that until the core issues within the Nygard family are resolved, most girls probably…”

She trailed off, but the meaning was unmistakable.

Any girl who might consider marrying into the Nygard family would likely come from a strong background and possess admirable qualities.

But if she had better options, why would she willingly choose to join a family where a spoiled little sister-in-law made life miserable?

No one enjoys being deliberately mistreated.

And that sister-in-law was adopted—she wasn’t even a blood relative of the Nygards.

In a way, it was almost laughable. The entire Nygard family looked foolish.

Emery understood the subtle hints Isabel was making. Her expression darkened, and a flush of embarrassment crept over her.

She hadn’t realized that Maxwell’s breakup with Patience was connected to Gianna.

Not that she had any fondness for Patience herself.

But from Isabel’s words, it seemed that as long as Gianna remained a presence, no girl would want to marry any of her sons.

Who would say such a thing?

Her three sons were remarkable—outstanding in every way. Many girls desired to marry them.

They just wanted to choose the very best.

“Sorry, Mrs. Nygard. I think my friend might be here. I should get going. We can talk another time.”

Isabel felt she had said all she intended to. With a quick excuse, she prepared to leave.

“Alright, see you next time,” Emery replied with a small, somewhat forced smile.

What Isabel had revealed was far more than Emery had known—or even overlooked.

She needed time to process everything and figure out her next steps.

Isabel stood, offered another polite farewell, and left swiftly.

She hadn’t actually planned to meet anyone; she was only there because Amelia had asked her to come.

Isabel quickly sent a message to Amelia: “Amelia, you were right. Mrs. Nygard really was here. I said everything I needed to. Mission accomplished, hehe.”

By now, Isabel had become something of a fangirl of Amelia.

Before meeting her, Isabel had simply been a wealthy girl who followed all the rules.

But after becoming close to Amelia, she finally felt she could be her authentic self.

Even before Gianna and her brothers made headlines, Amelia had reached out to Isabel.

She advised Isabel that if their messy family troubles ever came to light, she should talk to Emery.

Amelia warned her not to act as though she had any hidden motives. Doing so would only make things worse.

Instead, Amelia suggested Isabel act like she just happened to be passing by, letting Emery initiate the conversation. Then Isabel could pretend she had no choice but to bring up the topic.

That approach would have the greatest impact.

After everything Isabel had said today, Gianna probably looked terrible in Emery’s eyes.

Amelia had truly thought everything through.

At this moment, she was still busy filming the reality show. Without her phone, she hadn’t yet seen Isabel’s message.

But Amelia was confident Isabel would handle the situation perfectly.

This plan wouldn’t just make those foolish brothers dislike Gianna—it would make Emery start doubting her as well.

Gianna always acted as if she were clever, constantly scheming and showing off in front of Amelia.

Right now, Gianna had no clue that everyone outside was talking about her. She was still lost in her own little bubble.

She probably assumed Amelia was miserable, stuck beside Jeremy’s fiancée on the show.

On the surface, Amelia appeared calm, but inside, she was likely burning with anger and jealousy, quietly making comparisons.

Over the past few days on the reality show, Amelia had truly stolen the spotlight.

No one could beat her in the games or challenges. Her medical knowledge and skills were far superior to everyone else’s.

Thanks to Amelia, their team had been upgraded to a better room and enjoyed comfortable meals and accommodations every day.

Even Sabrina, who worked alone, was surprisingly impressive. She too received an upgraded room and better food.

The real losers were Gianna’s team. They constantly bickered, barely cooperated, and even failed their mission.

Gianna felt anxious and frustrated, unable to understand why she kept losing to Amelia.

Fortunately for her, Sabrina was still around, giving Gianna someone to mock that irritating Amelia.

The chapter delicately unravels the intricate dynamics within the Nygard family, highlighting the emotional undercurrents of rejection, hope, and silent judgment. Isabel’s candid conversation with Emery exposes the deeper fractures that extend beyond mere romantic entanglements, revealing how family tensions and individual ambitions intertwine to shape perceptions and relationships. Through Isabel’s poised defiance and Amelia’s strategic foresight, the narrative emphasizes the power of subtle influence and the courage it takes to confront uncomfortable truths within a family bound by pride and expectation.

Amidst the simmering conflicts and unspoken resentments, there is a quiet resilience that threads through the characters’ interactions. Amelia’s rising confidence and Isabel’s newfound authenticity suggest that change, though slow and fraught with challenges, is possible. The chapter leaves us with a poignant reflection on the complexities of loyalty, identity, and the longing for acceptance, all set against the backdrop of a family struggling to reconcile its fractured past with the hope for a more harmonious future.

The next chapter promises to deepen the intricate web of family tensions and alliances, as the subtle undercurrents of distrust and rivalry begin to surface more openly. Emery’s growing doubts about Gianna, fueled by Isabel’s carefully planted words, are likely to shift the family dynamics in unexpected ways. The emotional stakes are rising, and it’s clear that no one in the Nygard family will remain untouched by these revelations.

Meanwhile, Amelia’s quiet determination and strategic mind continue to shape the unfolding drama. Her position on the reality show not only highlights her talents but also sets the stage for further confrontations with Gianna, whose frustration and insecurity are becoming more palpable. As alliances form and fractures deepen, the characters will face difficult choices that could redefine their relationships and futures. The tension is mounting, and readers can anticipate a chapter rich with emotional complexity and subtle power plays.
