    Chapter 991


    That time, on the way to the countryside.


    Bawling her eyes out, Patricia reproached her mother, “Mom, look at the mess you’ve made! Now we’re


    being shipped off to the boondocks!”


    Xenia was already feeling low, and her daughter’s reproach only made it worse.


    “Patri, I can take it from others, but how could you say that to me? Who am I doing all this for, if not


    you?”

    Patricia, at this point, had no patience to understand her mother and retorted, “I know you did it for me,


    but you didn’t help at all. You just made things worse! Mom, we would’ve been better off admitting our


    mistakes in front of Grandpa and Grandma; maybe they would have given us another chance instead


    of sending us off to the countryside!”


    Xenia felt a pang in her chest due to her daughter’s words, “Now you’re ming me? Didn’t you also


    fail to admit your mistake in time? And how could we have admitted it? Once admitted, it bes


    something that can’t be changed. You wouldn’t have a chance to prove your innocence ever again!”


    Patricia understood the logic, of course. She just felt that even the worst oue would be better than


    being banished to the boonies! She didn’t fancy the deste countryside one bit!


    Grandpa said they were to live in the countryside, but he didn’t specify for how long. Would they ever


    be allowed back?


    There were so many servants apanying them on this trip, obviously assigned by Grandpa to keep


    an eye on them. Once they reached the countryside, they probably wouldn’t even have the freedom to


    leave the mansion!


    This was not the life she wanted!


    The more she thought about it, the more unwilling Patricia felt, and the more she wanted to cry…


    Seeing her daughter cry so bitterly, Xenia, despite her annoyance at Patricia’s reproach and


    misunderstanding, still felt a twinge of pity for her. After all, she was relying on Patricia for her future!


    So, Xenia patted her daughter’s shoulder, trying to console Patricia, “All right, all right! No more crying!


    Patri now’s not the time for us to be at each other’s throats! If we let differencese between us,


    wouldn’t that just make Ellinor happy, giving her a goodugh?”


    Hearing her mother mention Ellinor wouldugh at them, Patricia tried hard to stop crying. She wouldn’t


    let that detestable Ellinorugh at her…


    She wiped her tears and looked up at her mother, “What can we do now? I’ve lost my brother’s trust


    and affection, lost the love of my grandparents, the sympathy of my father, and even the opportunity to


    kidnap Theo. There’s no way to turn things around!”


    Xenia thought for a moment and checked what the servants around them were doing. Some were on


    their phones, and others were dozing off. Then, she whispered to her daughter, “I don’t have an


    effective n to change the situation right now. We need some time to think it over.”


    Patricia thought her mother had some new idea, but instead, she heard this useless sentence and


    frowned. Did her mother really need to whisper such a thing in her ear?


    Then, Xenia continued, “The most important thing now is we absolutely can’t be sent to the mansion in


    the countryside. Once we’re there, we’ll surely be watched by your grandfather’s people!”


    Patricia was slightly taken aback. She agreed with her mother but muttered, “But we’re already on the


    way!”


    Xenia gestured subtly towards the nervous and timid child in the back row, “Baber is here too, isn’t he?


    We can use him…
