Chapter 913

Ellinor gave a firm shake of her head and moved to support Marissa, “Granny, he's really not my

dad.”

Marissa asked with concern, “Then why are they looking for you? Should I get someone to deal with

this?”

Feeling the warmth from Marissa’s concern, Ellinor gave a small smile and shook her head again,

“Granny, don't worry about it. I can handle this. You just had dinner, why don't you go inside and

rest?”

With that, she turned to Veronica, who was still standing nearby.

“Veronica, come over here. Help Granny inside and make sure she doesn't worry.”

Veronica nodded and took over from Ellinor, guiding Marissa towards the house.

Marissa was still worried, but seeing that Ellinor was insistent on handling it herself, she didn't say

anything more.

“Marissa, wait! We really are Ellinor's family. It's just that Ellinor has forgotten us since she married

into a wealthy family!” Sheila shouted at Marissa, who was already turning away.

Marissa stopped after hearing this..

Seeing that her daughter's words had an effect, Tracy chimed in, “Marissa, we're really Ellinor's

family. Why else would we be here looking for her? Ever since she married into the Blanchet family,

she’s looked down on us and hasn't contacted us at all! Marissa, you seem like a decent person. I

don't think a respected family like the Blanchets would appreciate an ungrateful woman!”

With that, Tracy signaled for Arnold to add his piece.

Arnold quickly got the hint and said, “Yes, Marissa, Ellinor really is my daughter. I really am her

father!”

After hearing their statements, Marissa turned to look at them, especially Arnold. Squinting, she

asked, “You say you're Ellinor's father; then why does Ellinor say you're

not?”

Arnold was forced to explain, “Marissa, the thing is, I'm not Ellinor's biological father. I'm her

adoptive father.”

Marissa frowned, “Adoptive father? For how long did you raise Ellinor?”

Arnold quickly replied, “Marissa, I raised her for over a decade. I took her in when she was around

four or five. But ever since she married into the Blanchet family, she’s looked down on me, her

adoptive father, and hasn't come back to see me once. She's probably embarrassed by me... It's

quite heartbreaking.”

Marissa asked again, “If it's so heartbreaking, then why are you here? Mr. Arnold, what are you here

for?”

Arnold looked a bit awkward and took a moment to find the right words, “Marissa, as you can see,

Ellinor won't acknowledge me as her father, and I didn't really want to come here either. But

recently, some issues that Ellinor caused back in the countryside have surfaced, and the people

involved have come to us in the city for a resolution. I had no other choice but to bring them here

to find Ellinor.”

At this, Ellinor furrowed her brows. Issues she had caused in the countryside? What issues? She had

no idea what was going on!

Marissa also turned around and stared at Arnold, “Mr. Arnold, you better be more specific. What

issues did Ellinor cause that made you guys come here to find her?”

Arnold heaved a deep sigh, “It's a long story. Maybe you should ask the people involved directly.”

With that, he turned his head towards Sheila's old sports car and shouted, “You guys can come out

now!"
