It’s Right Not to Have Deep Friendships
By placing an elder under house arrest and blatantly handling a helpless, weak elderly person without
even bothering to put up a pretense, Faye had turned this big, gloomy mansion into her territory where
she did as she pleased. “Looks like you don’t interact with elderly very often, Miss Sinclair,” Faye
pointed out calmly. “So what if it’s true?” Elise argued, frowning slightly. Very subtly, she raised her
brows while the corners of her lips drooped. With her alluring eyes brimming with confidence, she said,
“Since that’s the case, you definitely don’t know how the elderly in their seventies act like a child.
At her age, Grandma is most likely to get careless. If there’s no one to take care of her and she loses
her way or some accident happens to her, who could bear this responsibility?” Her explanation got
Elise speechless. It was said that not even a fair judge could settle family affairs, and family disputes
were the trickiest cases which couldn’t be simply lorded by people on the sidelines. If Elise stood on
moral grounds and started criticizing Faye, it was highly possible that she would end up with a bunch of
accusations. On the other hand, she couldn’t stand by and watch as an elderly person was pushed
around.
“Of course I believe that your intentions are kind, Miss Anderson. However, there are many examples
in this world where bad actions turned out of good intentions, and I wonder how much you know about
the penalty for abuse.” With the same look in her eyes, Elise looked Faye in the eyes so that the latter
would know how it felt to have a taste of her own medicine. Without waiting for Faye to open her
mouth, Elise added, “Going against an elderly person’s will, putting her in confinement, restricting her
freedom, inflicting mental abuse, etc…
Taking all these into consideration, it can easily end up being a two-year sentence. Miss Anderson, do
be careful.” With the most innocent tone, Elise had uttered the most threatening words. The look on
Faye’s face kept changing, and she didn’t look pleased at all. Narrowing her almond-shaped eyes, she
surveyed Elise undisguisedly. Rowena hit the nail in the head, she thought. This is a university student
without any ideas of the world. It’s a small matter to be slapped with a lawsuit, but if word got out that
I’m confining two old women, it’ll definitely affect the plan I’ve painstakingly carried out for years.
After some deliberation, Faye’s lips curled upward instantly. Her entire face gleamed as she flashed a
standard smile. “Thanks for the reminder, Miss Sinclair. But I think such a day won’t arrive.” After
saying that, she spun to Rowena and the others, keeping away her smile as she said in faked
dissatisfaction, “Ms. Johnson, how many times have I told you that you should get someone who could
watch their strength to take care of Grandma? Look at how burly they are. When others see this, they
might think that we can’t afford to support the elders with the wealth that we have and couldn’t wait to
watch them die. That’ll ruin the good reputation our family has built for generations!”
With a chuckle, Elise sighed. As expected of the woman who turned this family upside-down. With a
few words, she dismissed the accusation of elderly abuse and even ridiculed me. Everything she said,
hidden or not, simply meant that the Anderson Family is a strict and wealthy family. Nobody would
believe that the abuse of an elderly person is happening here. After saying that, Faye secretly gave
Rowena and the rest a look. Understanding what she meant, Rowena instructed the servants to keep
away from Bertha. Free from restriction, Bertha regained her freedom, but upon closer inspection, she
could easily notice that the servants had merely expanded the circle around her.
The tangible net had turned invisible, and it was just a double-faced act. Then, Rowena’s expression
changed, and she wrinkled her face pleadingly as she gazed at Bertha. “Old Madam, setting aside the
fact that you hurt yourself physically the last time you sneaked out and fell into the river, the people who
saved you almost lost their lives as well. Please be considerate and stop acting stubborn!” Grappling
her walking stick, Bertha struck it on the ground hard a couple of times and glared at her. “Nonsense! I
didn’t fall into the river! You ungrateful creature might as well just act in a movie!”
she exclaimed before she turned to Elise with a soft face. When she wanted to explain something, she
saw Elise shaking her head at her before she could even open her mouth again, signally for her to not
act rashly. Startled, Bertha then understood her intentions and nodded curtly. She’s right. It’s a
worthless struggle even if I explain myself in this situation, and it may even get that kind-hearted lass
into trouble. It’s better if I just succumb and lay low for now.
At the thought of this, she glanced at Faye from the corners of her eyes and straightened herself by
gripping her walking stick. With a cold stance, she gave way, saying, “I’m tired and want to rest in my
room.” Hearing that, Faye’s lips twisted into a conceited smirk. That’s more like it, you old fart. “Quick,
help Old Madam back to her room,” she ordered. “Okay!” Wiping away the aggrieved and pleading
expression from her face, Rowena put on a pleasing and accommodating face instead.
“This way, Old Madam!” After giving her an icy stare, Bertha then stole a peek at Elise before lifting her
foot, turning around, and walking back into the house. With one step at a time, her pace was steady,
and even though it was just from the back, Elise saw the figure of a strong woman in her youth. Finally,
Faye urged Elise on purpose after catching her staring at Bertha for a while, “Miss Sinclair, please
leave if there’s nothing else. I have other matters to attend to and I’m afraid I don’t have the time for
small talks.” She didn’t say anything more, and Elise didn’t plan to hang around much longer either.
After exchanging looks with their eyes, she then marched out of the place. A few minutes after she left
the Andersons’, she heard the blaring of a honk from opposite the street. Following the source, Elise
saw Brendan’s car and walked over. The driver with a keen judgment got out and opened the door for
her. As thanks, she gave him a polite nod and got into the car. After she was seated, Brendan
instructed, “Let’s go.”
Then, he turned to her. “Why did the Anderson Family look for you?” She cast a look at the Andersons’
front gates and answered casually, “Nothing. Just small issues to go over about the wedding dress.”
Countless of malices lay hidden in this house worth hundreds of millions, and if it was possible, she
didn’t want to have anything to do with it after this.
There was enough trouble on her plate now, and even if she didn’t find them a hassle, she didn’t want
to add more troubles for herself as that was the thing she hated the most. “That’s good,” Brenden said,
nodding thoughtfully. “The Andersons are more than meets the eye. It’s the right move not to have a
deep friendship with them.”
