Chapter 424


    Chapter 424


    The Mendoza family seemed to be living the high life, with a swanky pad in a posh neighborhood, and


    they do give off that rich family vibe. But the reality was that their lives weren’t as cozy as they seemed.


    Arnold’s wealth mostly came from some properties handed down from the older generation, but these


    properties were not exactly prime real estate, making them hard to


    offload


    Over the years, Arnold had been renting out these properties, but the rent wasn’t enough to cover the


    family’s living expenses.


    In the past, She’s ie from her entertainment gigs kept them afloat. But now She’s career had


    hit a rough patch, her ie had tanked, and she was struggling to find work. The Mendoza family’s


    financial situation was getting light.


    The wedding gift from the nchet family could definitely help them keep their heads above water, so


    they certainly didn’t wanna give that up.


    Arnold was under Ellinor’s thumb, and he couldn’t shake her off.


    “You ungrateful brat! You disowned me after getting married and now you want the wedding gifts? Let


    me tell you, the gift is given to the bride’s parents by the groom; as your father. I have the right to


    control this money! Now, let go of me!”


    Instead of letting go, Ellinor only tightened her grip, “Arnold, I’m asking you again, can we talk?”


    Arnold was gritting his teeth in pain, feeling like his wrist was about to be crushed. He didn’t expect


    Ellinor to be this strong.


    Fine, we’ll talk in my study” Arnold had topromise


    Ellinor let out a small chuckle, released her grip, and followed Arnold to his study.

    Seeing their backs, She felt a tad bit worried. She didn’t want Ellinor to charm Arnold with her sweet


    talk again


    Arnold was also a bit skeptical. Although Ellinor had crossed the line, she was now Mrs. nchet. If


    she went snitching, the Mendoza family could be in hot water.


    Tracy also didn’t feelfortable leaving Arnold alone with Ellinor. She thought Ellinor was too cunning


    “Arnold, I think we should be careful with Ellinor”


    Arnold was clearly annoyed “Alright, you two, just back off! She just wants to talk, right? I’d like to see


    what she’s got to say!”


    Tracy and She couldn’t stop them and could only watch as Ellinor followed Arnold up to his study.


    In the study


    Arnold walked behind the desk, wearing a stern face.


    “Whatever you have to say, spit it out!”


    Ellinor also pulled up a chair and sat down.


    “Mr. Arnold, let’s cut to the chase then!”
