Chapter 385: Chapter 385

Ellinor strolled into the living room with a polite smile on her face. “Mr. Arnold, Mrs. Mendoza, long time no see.”

“Mr. Arnold?”

At the sound of this, Arnold, who already looked like he’d swallowed a lemon, looked even more tense.

What did you call me?”

Ellinor seated herself on a solitary couch, some distance away from them. She accepted the coffee a maid brought her, took a sip, and said, “I called you Mr. Arnold. Is there a problem? Aren’t you Mr.

Arnold?”

Arnold wasn’t her biological father, nor had he done much of anything father–like. After shipping her off to the sticks, he’d pretty much disappeared from her life “Ellinor, don’t you dare think that joining the Blanchet family means you can forget where you came from and even deny me as your father! You know exactly how you became Mrs. Blanchet, He snapped.

Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “How I became Mrs. Blanchet? Seems like you’ve got it all figured out.”

Before Arnold could respond, Sheila jumped in, all fired up. “Not just dad, mom and I know tool Ellinor, there’s no such thing as a secret that stays secret forever. Stop playing innocent and own up to your mistakes. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll forgive you, for old times‘ sake.”

Ellinor laughed. “You forgive me? Sheila, why exactly are you in my house, offering me your forgiveness?”

‘My house‘. Those words were like a thorn in Sheila’s side. It felt like something that was hers had been taken from her. “Your house? Ellinor, you’ve got some nerve! This is my house!”

Tracy tried to play peacemaker. “Ellinor, why won’t you listen to reason? We already know you took Sheila’s place and married Mr. Blanchet. You can’t hide it anymore! Just kneel down and apologize to your dad and Sheila.”

“And how did you find out about this?” Ellinor narrowed her eyes.

Her counter–question seemed like an admission of guilt to the Mendozas.

Arnold was growing angrier and angrier. He pointed a finger at Ellinor and started to rant. “Ellinor, I can’t believe I raised a daughter like you! No morals whatsoever! How could you steal your own sister’s husband and make the Mendozas a laughing stock on the day of the wedding! I should never have let you come back from the countryside!*

Ellinor found this amusing.

She’d come to Greenhaven because she’d won a full scholarship to Creston University due to her excellent academic record.

Had Arnold ever really taken care of her at all?

Ellinor had a hunch about their intentions when she saw Sheila picking a fight with Devin upstairs But the question was, who spilled the beans about her becoming Mrs. Blanchet?

Seeing Ellinor fall silent, Sheila pounced. “Ellinor! Say something!”

Ellinor sighed and lowered her head, looking like she was too ashamed to meet anyone’s eyes. “If you all already know that, what do you plan to do with me?”
