Chapter 914
Just as the door of that sports car swung open, two women stepped out. One looked like she was in
herte forties or fifties, and the other seerned to be in her twenties. They were both dressed pretty
simply.
The younger one had her hair done in two braids, while sporting a id shirt and some old jeans, and
some canvas shoes that were pretty dirty.
Ellinor watched as the two women slowly approached, finding them vaguely familiar but couldn’t quite
ce her finger on where she’d seen them before.
As they got closer, the older woman stared at Ellinor, making no effort to hide her hostility.
“Ellinor, you’re living the good life, while my daughter is suffering because of you!”
This statement made it clear that the two women were mother and daughter. Ellinor looked carefully at
the mother, “I’m sorry, but may I ask your name?”
The older woman scoffed, “Don’t think that pretending not to know us will help you escape the mistakes
you made in the past!”
Meanwhile, the younger woman, who seemed to be about Ellinor’s age, kept her head down, her
shoulders trembling slightly, as if she were quietly sobbing.
Ellinor remained expressionless, “Please tell me, what crime have Imitted against you?”

She was genuinely curious; she had no idea what wrong she had done.
The older woman turned her face away, trying to walk past Ellinor with her daughter, “We’re not here
for you. You’re married now; you’re someone else’s wife. We’re here to speak to those who have a say
in your husband’s family!”
Seeing that they were heading for Marissa, Ellinor quickly stepped in their way, “If I’m the one who
made the mistakes you’re talking about, then you should speak to me directly. I’m prepared to take the
consequences.”
However, the older woman was not pleased with being stopped, “You? Can youpensate us for our
losses over the past years? Move!”
As the mother and daughter tried to sidestep her again, Ellinor quickly stepped in their path,
determined not to let these messy matters bother Marissa.
“Ellinor, if you’ve done nothing wrong, then don’t stop us from seeking justice from Marissa!” Arnold
suddenly stepped in, preventing Ellinor from blocking the mother and daughter’s path, and told them,
“That olddy over there is Marissa, a respected elder of the nchet family. If you have any
comints, go to her. She’ll definitely stand up for you!”
With Arnold’s intervention, the two women sessfully bypassed Ellinor and rushed to kneel in front of
Marissa.
Veronica frowned, unsure of what these strangers were nning to do. She instinctively stepped
forward, shielding her grandmother, “What’s your deal?”
The older woman suddenly burst into tears, “Marissa, your daughter–inw is not a good person;
please stand up for Rosie!”
After seeing this, Ellinor pushed past Arnold, standing protectively in front of Marissa and Veronica, “I
told you, if you have any issues,e to me directly. Don’t frighten the elderly.”
Marissa, realizing that the situation was not as simple as it seemed, spoke up, “Ellinor, I’m fine.”
Ellinor turned to Marissa, feeling apologetic, “I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”
Marissa simply shook her head gently, “We’re family. There’s no need to talk about trouble. Ellinor,
since they’vee to our house, if we don’t let them speak their minds, I’m afraid they’ll cause trouble
for you elsewhere. I’d be more worried about you then. So, let them say what they need to in front of
me today.”
Ellinor watched as Marissa’s gaze trembled slightly. Arnold and the others had been ndering and
belittling her earlier, but Grandma didn’t seem to believe them, nor was she swayed. She remained
firmly on her side.
She thought that Grandma might believe them. After all, she wasn’t her biological grandmother, so the
foundation of trust didn’t exist.
