Chapter 341
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 hurt?”
However, Jeanie was in such a daze that she had almost mistaken Elise as the late Yoona, so she shook 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. Anderson 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 ancestors 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 course, 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 my 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 harming 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 the 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 we 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!” Laura 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 regain her composure. “There is no need for me to explain anything to you. I only have one question to ask. Will 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 that she had brought to herself. Therefore, she suggested, “Since Mrs. Anderson and Old Mrs. Anderson 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 before 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 grandmother without having to deal with Jeanie.
