Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 32

Her face was severe, the kind that belonged to someone humorless and calculating.

Her brow, however, bore a strong resemblance to Daniel's.

"Oh, Amanda, you're finally here! You've kept us waiting!"

The speaker was Christine Whelan from the second branch.

Amanda smiled apologetically. "I... we got stuck in traffic on the bus, so we're late."

"Mother, I brought some fresh vegetables from our garden. I picked them just this morning. They're very fresh, pesticide-free, and good for your health..."

Amanda tried to present the gift to the matriarch, hoping to curry favor.

Unexpectedly, another woman cut her off.

"Amanda, enough. Are you looking down on our family? Do you think we can't afford vegetables? Why bring this trash when you come to visit?" The speaker was Lauren Whelan from the third branch.

The rest of the Whelan family snickered quietly.

Amanda lowered her head, unsure of what to say, appearing deeply self-conscious.

"Alright. Butler, take the things she brought away. Don't dirty the carpet," the matriarch said.

Her tone was deeply unpleasant.

Birds of a feather indeed flocked together.

Elena looked at the members of the second and third branches. They were all dripping in gold and silver, holding themselves in high regard.

They were all daughters-in-law of the Whelan family, yet why did her own mother have absolutely no status?

It was blatant discrimination.

The matriarch's gaze finally settled on Elena.

"Is this the one swapped back from the Sterling family?"

"Yes, this is Elena. Elena, hurry and call her Grandmother!" Amanda pushed Elena forward slightly.

"Grandmother," Elena called out reluctantly.

Only because she was an elder.

So that was the old woman's angle.

She wanted to use Elena to hook up with the powerful Sterling family.

"No," Elena cut off her thought immediately.

Christine immediately scolded, "I have to say, since you found your biological parents and your family's conditions are poor, you should ask your adoptive parents for help. After all those years of affection, surely you understand that logic?"

Elena's gaze turned cold as she looked at Christine. "You’re mistaken. These days, even blood relatives won't help each other, let alone outsiders."

Elena was mocking the entire room.

One was her biological mother, and two were biological brothers to her father, connected by blood.

Yet they had driven the eldest branch out to live a hard life while they enjoyed luxury here.

"You... what do you mean by that..." Christine wasn't the sharpest and wanted to argue.

The matriarch stopped her. "Enough, shut up!"
