Chapter 65
Banca had already started to mediate, wearing a warm and graceful smile, easily soothing the situation. “It was just a misunderstanding. Elaine, I’ll apologize on Kayla’s behalf. Please don’t be upset”
Hanca was always like this, adept at handling situations and keeping people happy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the reputation of being a high–emotion, intellectual socialite. With her title as the most beautiful woman, she had garnered quite a bit of public attention in Boynton. Even her past with Finley had become a regret in the eyes of netizens

ade to look insignificant.
Elaine simply smiled lightly. “Misunderstanding or not, as long as things are explained, it’s fine. Miss Shepard was privately speaking ill of my foster mother, calling her a trash picker, saying her private life is filthy and disgusting. Anyone who doesn’t know better would think she’s talking about Tracy. Since Tracy is my foster mother now, and also your real mother, Kayla, if those words spread, the misunderstanding could grow larger. In the end, it’s your reputation, Bianca, that could be damaged”
Bianca stiffened when she heard that

Elaine smiled faintly. The Yeats family kept saying the was

Bianca hadn’t expected this. Before, being the Yeats family’s adopted daughter was Elaine’s sore spot, because no one could accept that she, the true daughter by blood, was being publicly labeled as an adopted child. It was only because her parents feared the shock would be too much for her to handle.
All the favoritism had been on her side. What did she have to worry about?
Kayla snorted, secing Bianca bowing down. She loudly said, “Blanca, why do you need to apologize to her? Elaine, all you can do is walk a lousy runway walk, imitating international supermodel Zora. What’s so impressive about that!”
Elaine raised her eyebrows, realizing Kayla resented her for stealing the spotlight at the charity event.
“Right, I don’t have anything to show off, Elaine smiled slightly and said. “I heard you all play the cello. You must be really good at it”
Elaine added, “Funny thing is, I can play a little too
“Really“” Kayla lifted her chin with pride. Even now, looking like a drenched chicken, she refused to lose her aura. She scoffed, “Playing the cella isn’t as easy as copying Zara’s moves on stage. Our cellos cost upwards of 300 thousand dollars. Someone with your background probably wouldn’t even come close. If you broke one, you’d never be able to pay for it?
Bianca, hearing Elaine’s words, asked in surprise, “Elaine, you can play the cello? How come I never knew?”
Elaine suddenly remembered the cello in Bianca’s room. It was indeed expensive and beautiful, but every time she looked at it, Tracy would chase her away, fearing she might damage her precious daughter’s cello. For Bianca, the cello was her pride, something not meant for someone like Flaine to touch.
Kayli saw that Elaine wasn’t answering Bianca but seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, she had an idea and said, “Elaine, if you can outperform me or Bianca on the cello, Ell let this go. How about it?”
The others were shocked by this challenge.
Bianca’s cello skills were practically national treasure–level. How could Elaine possibly outperform her!
Kayla was obviously just trying to make Elaine look bad.
Just then, Kayla’s parents, seeing her upset, rushed over
When Tracy saw the Shepards approaching, she quickly apologized, “Mr. Shepard, Mrs. Shepard, I’m so sorry. My daughter didn’t know better. I’ll make sure she apologizes right away*
Carson Shepard glanced at Elaine, his eyes cold.
Today, he learned that the Yeats family had another adopted daughter.
“Since Tracy has said it, I’ll give her face,” he said, waiting for Tracy to have Flaine apologize.

Elaine continued smiling, “Oh. Miss Shepard was talking behind my back about my foster mother, saying some very nasty things–calling her country woman, of low status, living off scavenging.

Don't know whether to feel happy to read the novels for free or feel frustrated for horrible language and the jumbled letters/words and not able to understand what's written in the chapters 😞😞...
