Chapter 875


    To ke’s astonishment, it wasn’t his granddaughter seated next to him or Bernard in the prominent


    position who took the cane from his hand–it was Eleanor herself, the one who had just been struck by


    it.


    Eleanor’s gentle andpassionate smile managed to stir something within ke You are a Pine, and


    there is nothing that needs to be addressed,” he stated.


    Eleanor, unperturbed by her Pine lineage, responded, “Regardless of whether I am a Pine or not, there


    is still something that needs to be rified”


    She ced the cane back onto the table and directed her words to everyone present am aware of the


    longstanding enmity between the Pines and the Laurences. I understand that you have suffered the


    loss of loved ones, and it is undoubtedly painful. However, what you may not know is that the Pines


    have endured far greater losses than the Laurences, as far as my knowledge goes.”


    “You drove the Pines away to G country, and to this day, they dare not provoke the Laurences. I was


    not even born when the Laurences subjected the Pines to such cruelty. It is truly unfair to heap all this


    hatred onto me, Eleanor asserted.


    Arlene scoffed, “As long as you’re a Pine, you can never be innocent!”


    Eleanor nced at Arlene but didn’t retort immediately. Instead, she continued, “I’ve already exined


    to ke that my mom, though from the Pine family, was kicked out when she was young, and has long


    severed lies with them.


    “Even if I am a Pine, they don’t acknowledge me or my mom. Why should we bear the consequences


    of the disputes caused by them? That’s not fair to us!”


    After saying this, Eleanor stressed again, “Besides, I grew up in an orphanage and never even met my


    mom. I don’t even know how many people there are in the Pine family. How could I possibly be a spy


    sent by them? It just doesn’t make sense


    Bernard’s family members, trembling, interrupted, “How do we know if what you’re saying is true or


    false?”


    Before Eleanor could reply, Cedric, dressed in a white suit, walked in from the door, true!”


    Everyone’s attention turned to Cedric, “You better have proof to back up your words, don’t just take


    Bernard’s side for no reason.”


    Cedric took off his coat and casually threw it to a servant, then sat down nonchntly. “Of course I


    have proof, or else do you think I would just bber?”


    Arlene reached out to him, “If you have proof, then show it to us.”


    Cedric crossed his legs and nced at her, “If you want to see it, look it up yourself. It’s not like it’s


    hard to find.”


    Arlene’s face turned red with anger, “You!”


    Cedric took his eyes off her and looked at ke, “Grandpa, this happened so many years ago. Bernard


    was just a baby when they passed away. He’s been living with his uncle, and he doesn’t hold a grudge


    about it. Why are you still hung up on the past?


    “Besides, didn’t we already hit the Pines pretty hard? Only one son of Jensen from their generation is


    left. We’ve caused them a great deal of harm. The current head of the Pine family is that son, Sheldon,


    and he’s been very well–behaved in recent years. He hasn’t done anything drastic, and hasn’t evenN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    ke’s face darkened even more, “Cedric, have you grown bold enough to criticize me?!”


    ke roared, causing Cedric to lower his voice, “I just wish…“.
