    Chapter 427


    “I reckon, now that you’re married into the nchet family, you should just enjoy your life and not dig


    up the past! I made a promise to your mom not to let your enemies find you


    Ellinor blinked, surprised at this ‘father, who shared neither blood nor affection with her. His words,


    however, seemed like a kind warning, maybe a reflection of hisplicated feelings for his first love


    Ellinor smiled. “Thanks for the heads up I will live well and protect myself. Mr. Arnold, goodbye”


    With that she sauntered out of the study


    Arnold frowned deeply and let out a long sigh. He had managed to keep Ellinor safe till she turned


    twenty, which fulfilled his promise to his first love. Now that she was all grown up and ready to fly the


    nest, he couldn’t interfere anymore.


    Downstairs in the Mendoza house


    A few burly men were moving the gifts that the nchet family had sent for the engagement


    “Hey! Who are you guys? What gives you the right to barge into my house and move stuff around? Put


    those down! Those are my things; you can’t take them!”


    She’s frantic voice echoed around the Mendoza house.


    Tracy also chimed in, “My daughter is right, you can’t move things in our house! If you don’t put the


    stuff down and leave my house now, I’m calling the police.”


    Ellinor strolled down from upstairs, “I asked them to move the stuff.”


    She looked up, her eyes red with rage, “Ellinor, who gave you the right to order people to move stuff


    in my house? You bitch!”


    Ellinor smiled, “Because those are all my husband’s gifts, you got a problem with that?!


    She gritted her teeth, “Ellinor, you stole my man, now you want to steal my dowry: I will kill you


    today!”


    With that, She charged at her but Tracy managed to hold back her daughter. “She, cool down,


    don’t be impulsive!”


    “What’s going on now? Why all this noise? Can’t we have a quiet day?”


    Arnold also heard the noise downstairs and went down to check


    She pointed angrily at the men, “Dad, look! Your precious little daughter has people robbing our


    house!”

    Arnold looked closely and realized that the stuff being moved were gifts from the nchet family. He


    got anxious, “Ellinor, didn’t you say that if I told you about everything. you wouldn’t take the nchet


    family’s engagement gifts? You can’t just go back on your word!”


    Ellinor said calmly, “I was going to take the engagement gifts because they’re from my husband and


    they’re special to me. But Mr. Arnold, I won’t forget your kindness for taking me in all these years, so I


    willpensate you with an amount equal to the value of those gifts.”


    She was only talking about taking her in, not raising her. The Mendoza family never raised her.


    Ellinor took out a check from her coat pocket and handed it to Arnold, “Spend it wisely, it’s enough for


    your family of three to livefortably for several generations.”


    Arnold nced at the amount on the check. His eyes widened and he was speechless


    She walked over disdainfully, “Ellinor, you think you can get rid of us with a few hundred thousand?


    We have seen money


    As she was talking, she leaned over to her dad and saw the countless zeros on the check. She


    swallowed hard, unable to believe her eyes.


    Seeing the shocked reactions of the father and daughter, Tracy also curiously took a look, her eyes


    almost popped out! “Ellinor, where… where did you get so much money?!”
