Chapter 958


    Chapter 958


    Tracy and She totally freaked out when they saw someone show up. They gawked at the two elders


    from the Howard family.


    Patricia didn’t jump out of her skin, but she was all jittery and uneasy. Her eyes were anxiously darting


    between Dean and Alyssa. She was still babbling on about her innocence, “Grandpa, Grandma, I don’t


    know these people… I don’t know why they’re talking trash… They’re Ellinor’s puppets: they probably


    got their pockets lined by her to frame me.”


    Ellinor also came out of the room, letting out a chuckle, “Ms. Howard, you’re still trying to talk your way


    out of this with all the evidence staring you in the face?”


    Patricia shot daggers at Ellinor, but with all the resentment inside her, she didn’t know what to say in


    return.


    Xenia stepped up to bat for her daughter, “Ms. Mendoza, what’s wrong with what my daughter said?


    These two are your stepmom and stepsister, of course they’d help you!”


    Ellinor cast a nce at Xenia and then at Tracy and She, who were standing in the living room, as if


    she heard something ridiculous, “Mrs. Howard, do they look like they’d help me? Did you not hear the


    nasty names they were calling me just now?”


    Xenia knew very well what Tracy and She were really thinking; she was just trying to get her


    daughter off the hook, “You must’ve nned this with them in advance! They’re your aplices; this


    must’ve been a well-thought-out plot to frame my daughter!”


    Ellinor didn’t argue with Xenia anymore; she turned to the two elders of the Howard family, “Grandpa


    Dean, Grandma Alyssa, and Mr. Howard, you heard everything my stepmother and stepsister said toCopyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Ms. Howard. I’m sure you know who to believe.”


    Tracy and She had a pretty good idea of what was going on after Ellinor showed up; they also knew


    they messed up.


    They were super nervous and tried to make up some excuses for Patricia, thinking they might still be


    able to turn the tables.


    Tracy hastily said, “Uh… Sorry about that! We mistook her for someone else! We don’t know Ms.


    Howard; it was Ellinor who brought us here!”


    She also nodded vigorously, following her mother’s lead, “Yeah, yeah, yeah! Ellinor asked us to


    come here; she even told us to frame Ms.


    Howard!”


    Patricia, Xenia, Dean, Alyssa, and Balfour were all left speechless and dumbfounded by the mother-


    daughter duo’s stupidity.


    Tracy and She didn’t just not help Patricia; they dug a deeper hole for her!


    If they hadn’t flipped their stance under pressure, Xenia’s usations against Ellinor could still stand,


    but now they were totally off the rails.


    The atmosphere in the Howard family’s living room was as heavy as lead.


    Dean and Alyssa looked at Xenia and Patricia’s stubborn denial, sensing big trouble.


    After a while, Alyssa slowly walked up to Ellinor, very apologetically took her hand, and said, “Ellinor,


    I’m truly sorry. We didn’t teach our granddaughter well, causing you to suffer.”


    Ellinor shook her head, saying “No, it’s not your fault; you don’t need to apologize to me.”
