Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 44

" The past is in the past. From now on, if you get bullied outside, just tell me. I’ve your back," Elena assured him.

Jon was overjoyed.

"Yes! Sis, don't worry! With a sister as amazing as you, they won't dare bully me anymore!"

"But don't tell Mom and Dad about tonight. We don't want them to worry."

"I know. If they knew about the bloodshed tonight, they wouldn't be able to sleep!"

It was already evening when they returned home.

Amanda had dinner ready, and the whole family was waiting for Elena and Jon.

"They're here! They're here! Elena and Jon are back!" The eldest brother, Ben, called out.

Amanda rushed out to check.

Seeing them return safely, her heart finally settled.

"You brat, where did you run off to?" Amanda gave Jon a hard smack on the head.

"Mom, Jon went to a classmate's house to hang out. It's fine, don't worry," Elena interceded.

Jon walked up to Amanda, head lowered. "Mom, I'm sorry. I won't be willful anymore."

"Alright, alright, the food is getting cold. Go inside and eat!"

At the dinner table, Jon immediately started sucking up to Elena.

"Sis, eat this!"

She had bought the property specifically for this purpose.

However, upon hearing this, Amanda didn't look happy. Instead, she said, "Elena, that was given to you by the Sterling family, wasn't it? We won't take anything from the Sterlings."

"It wasn't from the Sterlings. I bought it with money I earned myself. I didn't spend a penny of the Sterling family's money. You can rest assured."

"If you earned it yourself, then we definitely can't live there. You should keep your own assets safe. You have to get married one day! We are poor and don't have much of a dowry for you. Keep the house as your safety net. If you find a husband in the future and his family treats you poorly, at least you'll have a house."

Daniel chimed in as well. "Your mother is right. You keep it. We won't live there; this place is fine. We're poor, so we definitely won't be able to help much when you get married. Look at your big brother Ben, twenty-six and still no wife. Your second brother Chris is the same, still single. Even Claire... our family situation has dragged her down. No matchmakers have come to propose. We can't burden you too."

"Dad, what are you saying! Fate is decided by heaven, who can predict these things? Maybe marriage is just around the corner for Ben, Chris, and Claire."

"Besides, Ben is kind-hearted, Chris is capable, and Claire is beautiful. They will definitely find good partners, don't you think?" Elena looked around at everyone.
