Chapter 281 It’s Right Not to Have Deep Friendships,Coolest Girl in Town

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!”
