Chapter 985


    Ellinor nodded, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”


    She hung up the phone and got up, bidding the reporters below the stage a quick goodbye She then


    turned around and disappeared swiftly from their sight.


    As she was leaving, a reporter called out, “Ellinor, why the rush? Can you tell us who just called? Was


    it Mr. nchet?”


    Ellinor didn’t bother to look back, she just walked straight out.


    The nchet family’s mansion.


    Putnam and Marissa had been watching the live broadcast, and their faces had visibly changed; one


    looked more rxed, and the other let out a sigh of relief.


    Marissa even looked a bit proud of her granddaughter’s performance. She nudged her husband with


    her elbow, “See, what did I say? Ellinor isn’t the type to lie! Someone’s clearly trying to frame her right


    under our noses. You’re just too gullible!”


    Even though Putnam then understood, he was still a bit stubborn. He snorted, “Why would they frame


    her and not someone else? It’s probably because she’s done something to offend them!”


    Marissa red at him and said, “You’re ming the victim! Let me tell you, Ellinor is a good kid, I know


    I’m not wrong! If you keep giving her a hard time, I’m divorcing you!”


    Putnam was taken aback, he hadn’t expected his wife to mention divorce at their age, “Are you


    threatening me? If you want a divorce, then let’s do it. You think I’m scared of you?”


    Marissa got up angrily and said, “Fine! Let’s get it over with, we’ll go file for divorce right now!”


    Putnam went silent for a while, then suddenly clutched his chest in pain and started yelling, “My chest


    hurts… get my medicine…”


    Seeing this, Marissa was frightened, “Help! He’s having a heart attack! Get me his heart pills, quick!”


    A satisfied smirk appeared on Putnam’s face, but he continued to y unconscious.


    Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Howard family was not good.


    Patricia and Xenia were so angry about Ellinor’s reversal that they were speechless.


    However, Dean and Alyssa Howard appeared rather rxed.

    Dean said, “I told you, Ellinor isn’t that type of person! It’s clearly that mother-daughter duo ndering


    her!”


    Alyssa nced at Xenia and Patricia and said, “Exactly! That pair wouldn’t just nder someone for no


    reason. There must be someone pulling the strings behind them!”


    Xenia could hear the implication in her mother-inw’s words, but she didn’t dare to object.


    Patricia felt her image was beyond repair, but she was still not willing to give up and made ast-ditch


    effort, “Grandpa, Grandma, I think Ellinor might have nned this. Her request for a retest might have


    been premeditated…”


    Dean grunted loudly in response, “What are you implying? Are you suggesting Ellinor cheated? How


    could she possibly cheat in front of the media and so many live cameras? I’d like to ask you two, did


    you steal the test paper from me and give the correct answers to that mother-daughter duo?”
