Shella lifted her tearâstreaked face and said, âEllinor, Iâve always been good to you! I made you my assistant and even paid you your salary of ten grand in advance. Who else pays their assistant that much? Why are you doing this to me?â
âSheila, stop crying! Your dad and I know how much youâve been wronged Ellinor might have been jealous and ruined your career, but sheâs still family. Forgive her this one time and let it go Tracy immediately comforted Sheila Arnoldâs heart ached even more, his disappointment and anger towards Ellinor Mendoza growing.
âLook at how nice Tracy is to you. She is still trying to get Sheila to forgive you even now! And you?â
Ellinor just smirked Arnold, broom in hand, was tempted to give her a good beating but seemed to think better of it. He threw the broom aside in frustration and said, âI wonât bother hitting you today Pack your things and get out of this house. Donât ever come back to Greenhaven! And because of your actions, Iâm not giving you your inheritance. Itâll go to Sheila as compensation!â
As soon as Amold finished speaking, Ellinor saw Tracy and Sheila share a cunning smile.
Even without yesterdayâs incident where she accidentally burned Theo, those four wealthy heirs still wouldnât have invested in Pollockâs movie Sheila must know this, too They just wanted to use this incident to drive her away and deny her the Mendoza family inheritance, so they wouldnât have to share the wealth with her. That was Tracy and Sheilaâs real goal Ellinor never cared about the Mendoza familyâs wealth; she didnât want their crumbs.
But she wasnât about to let Tracy and Sheila have their way!
Since childhood, Tracy and Sheila have never been kind to her. They tarnished her motherâs reputation and spread nasty rumors about her They even spread rumors that her mother was a homewrecker!
That was unforgivable!
Ellinor thought for a moment, then looked at Arnold, âDad, if I can make up for Sheilaâs loss, can I stay?â
âWhat? You can make up for the loss?â Arnold was stunned.
Tracy glanced at Ellinor with eyes filled with mockery Sheila sneered, âEllinor, you make it sound so easy! How can you make up for my loss? Can you cough up a couple billion to invest in Pollockâs new film?â
âNo, Iâm brokeâ Ellinor shook her head.
Sheila goaded her, âThen why are you talking about making up for losses? Do you really think this is a good time to be joking around?â
Arnold frowned âI may not have the money, but I know someone who does.â
