Elinor slowly pulled a tissue from the box on the table, wiping her hands. âShouldnât you two be getting a taste of your own medicine for your actions?â
If it werenât for their dirty tricks, she wouldnât have ended up in such a mess last night!
Tracy, grinding her teeth in anger, glared at Elinor, who was behaving differently than usual. âElinor, Iâve known for a long time that your angel face in front of your dad is just a sham! Now that your dadâs not home, youâve dropped the act, havenât you?â
Elinor gave a faint smile âAuntie Tracy, weâre no different! Your sweet act in front of my dad is also a sham, isnât it? Do I need to list all the things youâve done behind his back?â
Speechless, Tracy cursed in fury âHow dare you, an orphan, compare yourself to me?â
Of course, Sheila took her motherâs side and joined in âElinor, my mom is right, youâre nothing but an orphan! Today, Iâll teach you a lesson on behalf of your shameless mother!â
As she cursed, she lunged at Elinor, her hand raised to strike.
Elinor didnât dodge, instead grabbing her wrist firmly âI donât need your teaching! Tell me, how did you manage to get the contract resources from the Blanchet Corporation? Dare to spill the beans?â
Stunned, Sheila tried to pull her hand back but couldnât. She cast a proud glance at Elinor, impatiently replying, âOf course, itâs because Iâm talented and caught the eye of the management at the Blanchet Corporation!â
Elinor let go of her hand, smiling lightly. âI see. Or should I say itâs because your supporter is quite powerful? By the way, does our dad know you refer to your supporter as âdad?â
Regaining her footing, Sheila glared at Elinor, snorting with contempt. âSo what if I do? Itâs all for the sake of a better job and to bring honor to our family! Besides, he and I are just friends! Even if our dad knows, Iâm not afraid!â
She really wasnât afraid, otherwise, she wouldnât have flaunted her newly acknowledged âdadâ, the famous director, in front of Elinor!
Elinor nodded âWell, I believe you two are just friends! But the relationship between him and Auntie Tracy. I doubt itâs that simple.Tight?â
Caught off guard, Sheila hadnât expected Elinor to know about this. She quickly turned to look at her mother, Tracy Tracy remained calm. âElinor, what are you trying to say? Itâs perfectly normal for Sheila to be treated like a daughter by a senior colleague! What does it have to do with me?â
Elinor looked at Tracy âFrom what I know, Pollock had a girlfriend before he became famous. They lived together for several years, and that girlfriendâs name was Tracy! Tracy, is it a coincidence that you share the same name as his exâgirlfriend?â
Tracyâs face immediately changed. âHow how did you find out?â
Elinor continued âTracy, youâre really charming. Even after so many years, your exâboyfriend still wants to help your daughter and even treats her as his own! Could it be that my sister is actually Pollockâs biological daughter?â
Pointing at Elinor, Tracy snapped, âElinor, stop spouting nonsense! What do you know? Do you have any proof?â
Elinor shrugged, âI donât have any proof indeedâ
Tracy knew Elinor couldnât possibly have any evidence.
So she crossed her arms over her chest, looking fearless. âSince you have no evidence, Iâm going to sue you for slander if you keep this up!â
Elinor sighed, âI guess Iâll just have to tell my dad and let him investigate it himself.
