For some reason, Elise‘s heart ached when she saw a helpless Jeanie on the ground.
With concern etched on her face, she walked over to help Jeanie to her feet. “Mrs. Anderson, are you h
urt?”
However, Jeanie was in such a daze that she had almost mistaken Elise as the late Yoona, so she sho
ok her head in disappointment and apologized, “Elise, I‘m sorry to cause you all this trouble.”
Elise felt bad after hearing those words. “This is no trouble at all. If you don’t mind, you and Old Mrs. An
derson can stay in the Sinclair Residence for a few more days.”
“Really?” Jeanie‘s face brightened as she hugged Elise‘s arm.
After patting Jeanie on the back of her hand as a sign of assurance, Elise looked at Bertha and asked,
“Old Mrs. Anderson, what do you think?”
Since Jeanie had psychiatric issues, Bertha was the one who made all the decisions.
Even though Bertha would love to stay, she found herself in a difficult position. Although Faye is a b*tch
, she is right about something. Since she has taken over the Anderson Family, the enterprise that our a
ncestors have built will all be destroyed if it‘s left aside to rot.
A mere glance was enough for Elise to comprehend that Bertha couldn‘t abandon the Anderson Family‘
s enterprise. I hate scumbags like Faye and Johan anyway. Once I‘m done teaching
them a lesson, I won‘t mind returning the Anderson Family‘s enterprise to Old Mrs. Anderson, but of co
urse, it depends on whether she is willing to accept my help.
After listening to Elise‘s offer, Bertha was only more hesitant.
When Faye heard that Elise was willing to allow the two elders to stay, her beautiful eyes were instantly
filled with murderous intent as she gritted her teeth in anger and warned, “Miss Elise, this is my family‘
s matters, so I hope that you can stay away from it. What rights do you have to keep my mother and m
y grandmother at your own house?”
Robin refused to see Elise being bullied, so he slammed his crutches on the floor a few times to make
a thumping sound and retorted, “Even if Elise has no rights to do so, what rights do you have after har
ming and disrespecting your own mother? The two of them are grown adults, so they have the right to
decide where they want to stay. A young girl like you shouldn‘t have any say in this!”
The moment he said those
words, the atmosphere in the Sinclair Residence instantly changed as Faye felt a huge pressure above
her.
She quickly scanned the house and squinted her eyes before answering in a faint tone, “It seems like t
he Sinclairs have decided to go against me. Am I right?”
“Although we sometimes shy away from trouble, we are not scared to lend a helping hand whenever w
e see any injustice. Miss Anderson, before you take these two away with you, let‘s talk about how you‘ll
explain to the police that the driver and bodyguards you hired had tried to take the women‘s lives!” Lau
ra roared after being silent for such a long time.
Her words stabbed Faye deep in her heart, which left her startled. However, she was able to quickly re
gain
her composure. “There is no need for me to explain anything to you. I only have one question to ask. W
ill you let them go?”
“Hmph.” Robin and Laura sounded their disapproval and simultaneously tilted their heads to the side—
a sign that they were not willing to give up.
Meanwhile, Elise felt a warmth inside her heart after seeing how
her grandparents stood up to the injustice. Even so, she didn‘t want them to be involved in the trouble t
hat she had brought to herself. Therefore, she suggested, “Since Mrs. Anderson and Old Mrs. Anderso
n had suffered today, how about you allow them to stay at the Sinclair Residence for the night? I‘ll send
them to you myself tomorrow. What do you think, Miss
Anderson?” One night is enough for me to do all the things I want.
As Faye thought about it, she felt that there was nothing they could do in one night, and if worse comes
to worst, she could just ask someone to constantly monitor the Sinclair Residence. However, right befo
re she could respond, she was interrupted by Bertha‘s words.
“There‘s no need for that!” Bertha firmly shouted. “I‘ll go back with you, but Jeanie will stay here. Your
mother isn‘t in a condition to do anything at the moment. All you need is me.”
After listening to her suggestion, Faye was delighted since she would be able to stay close to her grand
mother without having to deal with Jeanie.
However, Jeanie immediately rejected the idea when she heard that Bertha was about to sacrifice hers
elf. “Mom, you can‘t go with her!”
“Stay here and remember this. I won‘t allow you to lose your life in front of
me!” Bertha had already made up her mind as she patted the back of Jeanie‘s hand before quickly rele
asing her grip. Then, she turned to leave.
Jeanie wanted to chase her, but she was stopped by Elise.
She could tell that Bertha was sacrificing herself to secure Jeanie‘s life by not allowing Jeanie to set foo
t into the now dangerous Anderson Residence.
Faye left right after Bertha.
Elise then personally arranged for Jeanie to stay in the guest room
beside her bedroom. “Mrs. Anderson, you can stay here for the next few days. If there‘s anything you n
eed, I‘ll go and buy them for you tomorrow.”
“Good girl, I don‘t need anything.” Jeanie was so casual and easy to get along with that she could supp
ress her displeasure whenever she faced any inconveniences, showing her inherent ladylike temperam
ent.
Elise replied with a giggle. Even though she wanted to chat with Jeanie more, she felt pressed for time,
so she simply used an excuse to leave. “I have some things to attend to and you should get some rest
too. I‘ll be back to check on you.”
“Go ahead. Don‘t worry about
me.” Jeanie didn‘t ask for more as she was grateful to be able to see Elise a few more times.
After that, Elise left her room and went to her bedroom before taking out her dusty computer.
She initially only wanted to fulfill her grandparents‘ dream of witnessing her building her own family and
as living a normal life, but by the looks
of it now, she realized it wasn‘t an easy task to live a peaceful life. Looks like I can‘t
escape from my former profession after all.
Being someone obsessed with cleanliness, she used a piece of wet tissue to
wipe away the dust that had piled up on the laptop casing until she could see the logo. Then, she presse
