Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 557

That was why she had to keep a close watch.

The old lady saw that Daniel was about to agree, only for Elena to cut in halfway.

Her expression immediately soured.

"Elena, why are you up so early today?" Daniel asked.

"Of course I had to get up early. Otherwise, you'd be brainwashed without even realizing it. Dad, you promised Mom that you'd live a retired life. You shouldn't get involved in those thankless tasks anymore," Elena reminded him.

Daniel snapped back to reality. He had almost fallen for his elderly mother's trap again.

"Right, I understand." He turned back to the old lady. "Mom, I'm sticking to my decision. I've decided not to get involved in the Whelan family business matters."

Early in the morning, the old lady was furious.

"You... you people... Elena! I was speaking to your father. Why are you interrupting?" the old lady demanded.

Every time, this girl was the one causing trouble.

"This is my house. Am I not allowed to speak in my own home?" Elena retorted.

The old lady slammed her cane heavily against the floor twice. "Is this how you show respect when an elder is speaking? Get out!"

Elena let out a cold laugh. "Grandma, I respect you because you are my father's mother. I respect you, and I hope you will respect me in return. But if you act disrespectfully despite your age, then don't blame me for being rude. Get this straight: this is my house, not the old family estate. The way you throw your weight around over there won't work here. In this house, we are the ones who make the decisions."

"You... you dare speak to me like that? So what if it's your house? It still belongs to your father, and I am your father's mother. Doesn't what belong to him belong to me? You're defying your elders right here in front of everyone. Do you have any manners at all?"

Elena stepped forward to check and found that there was nothing wrong with the old lady; she was just being dramatic.

"Dad, she's fine. Just have someone take Grandma upstairs to rest. I'm going to work. And remember, stay out of the company's business!" Elena reminded him again.

"I know, Elena. Don't worry, I won't be swayed."

After Elena left, she went to LUMEN Studio for work.

"Elena, go procure these fabric samples for me. The company needs them," Elaine said, handing her a list.

Elena took a look at it. "Doesn't the company have a procurement department for this?"

"You're a new intern. I doubt you've seen many samples. I'm sending you so you can learn!"
