Chapter 787


    “Of course I know her, she’s my aunt’s daughter, how could I not know her? We just haven’t met”


    Elbert replied looking puzzled at Eleanor.


    “You know Emilia, what’s your rtionship with her?”


    Eleanor froze, staring nkly at Elbert.


    Not only did Elbert know Emilia, but he also said that Emilia was his aunt’s daughter….


    If Emilia was his aunt’s daughter, then wouldn’t he be her cousin?


    Turns out they were rted by blood.


    But this blood rtionship wasn’t what she wanted.

    She remembered Bernard telling her that the Laurence family and the Pine family had a deep–rooted


    feud.


    This was a deep–rooted feud, not a businesspetition, a real life and death feud.


    With such deep hatred, she married Bernard. If people from the Laurence family found out, would she


    still have a ce to stay?


    Eleanor thought again, Bernard had previously looked into her background, he must have known her


    identity, then him….


    He didn’t mind, and he told her that no matter what happened, she should trust him and he would never


    harm her!


    With him, people from the Laurence family wouldn’t break them up, right?


    As long as the Laurence family epted her, then the Pine family….


    Her sister would rather be homeless on the streets of G country than return to the Pine family for help,


    which meant the Pines weren’t good to them


    How could she reveal her identity and let Elbert take her picture and send it to his father?


    She wanted to live a peaceful life with Bernard, she couldn’t let people know she was from the Pine


    family.


    Eleanor regained herposure, suppressing her surprise and regarding Elbert with a rational gaze.


    “Just a casual inquiry, of course I’m aware of such a famous architect. I never expected any familial


    connection, she casually remarked, dispelling Elbert’s doubts with a single sentence


    Understanding dawning upon him, Elbert nodded, saying. “So that’s how it is.”


    Recognizing Elbert’s susceptibility, Eleanor cautiously ventured, “Indeed, children from affluent families


    have their own unique paths, Your cousin’s exceptional achievement as a world–renowned designer at


    such a young age is truly remarkable.”


    Elbert readily epted Eleanor’s words, adding ‘Emilia wasn’t raised within the Pine family. My


    grandparents held a disdain for my aunt, and once she married, they ceased all contact.”


    Thus, it became evident that Elbert’s grandparents harbored ill feelings toward Emilia’s mother,


    resulting in their severed connection.


    Eleanor just wanted to know why the Pines treated Emilia this way. Now that she knew some of the


    reasons, she stopped asking.


    She had been wandering outside since she was a child and felt estranged from her rtives. Even now


    knowing she was a member of the Pine family didn’t feel particrly special


    The only thing that made her a little curious was her mother. She didn’t know why a daughter of the


    Pine family would choose to marry beneath her.


    Eleanor raised her hand, propped her elbow on the table, and rested her chin on her hand, looking at


    him, “How many siblings does your aunt have?”


    Were there too many siblings that Elbert’s grandparents didn’t like his aunt?


    Elbert red at her again, “Don’t you read the news? Thest generation of the Pine family only had


    three siblings.”


    Eleanor gave him a mocking look, “Why would I read the news about your Pine family? There’s no big


    news that interests me.”


    “Who says there’s no big news?”


    Elbert beckoned Eleanor over, “Come here, I’ll tell you something that outsiders don’t know…”


    Eleanor immediately leaned in, “What’s this secret that outsiders don’t know?”
