Chapter 340
Arnold said angrily. “Ellinor Mendoza, go home now! Dispose of all the flowers in front of the house first, and then do things by yourself, admit your mistakes to the media and the public, and make sure they forgive you Don’t make our family ashamed because of you!”
But Ellinor was calm, even on the verge of laughter.
Just now, an old lady she barely knew had firmly believed in her, urging her to stay indoors for safety
But her father, on the contrary, hoped to let her face the public opinion on the Internet immediately, so as to help him clear his name. The contrast between the two was great. Since she was a kid, this had always been Arnold’s way Whenever anything went wrong, he would lash out at her, blaming and berating her without any justification.
Not once did he try to understand her side of the story, consider whether she was wronged or misunderstood.
Not even once
She used to wonder, why was her dad so different from others? She couldn’t feel the fatherly love her classmates often praised in their essays.
But it wouldn’t be accurate to say that Arnold was different from other fathers. Look at his attitude towards Sheila Mendoza, it was like a perfect father who loved his
daughter
No matter what Sheila did, Arnold would get over it quickly and continue to spoil her as before.
With Ellinor, not at all. Now, Ellinor understood why Arnold was so cold and indifferent to her. They weren’t blood related, so his feelings for her didn’t go beyond mere sympathy
But then again, if Arnold knew from the start they weren’t related and didn’t intend to adopt her, why did he bring her home from the hospital? Why didn’t he take good care of her and instead sent her away to the countryside
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
Once this online public opinion incident was over, she would dig deeper into Arnold’s past…
Arnold waited for a response on the other side of the screen, growing more and more impatient, “Ellinor, have you gone deaf or dumb? Can’t you hear me? Get home and deal with the mess you’ve made!”
Ellinor regained consciousness, “Yeah, I heard you. But I’m a bit tied up at the moment, so I won’t be going back. I’ll get someone to handle the flower situation, and i promise you won’t receive stuff like that again. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now”
Arnold was taken aback by her cold response, sensing a change in her attitude, “Ellinor, what’s with this attitude!”
Ellinor sounded a tad impatient, “Huh? Do I have an attitude problem? Didn’t I just agree to solve the problems you mentioned? What’s there to be unhappy about?”
Arnold was seething. “You’re becoming more and more ungrateful! Not even calling me ‘dad anymore, do you think you’re something special?!”
“Dad, let me talk to her Sheila took over the phone With her perfectly made–up face, she looked disdainfully into the camera:
“Ellinor, you bad luck charm! Ever since you left the countryside to come to the city, our Mendoza family has been having bad luck! You messed up my career a while ago, and now you’ve exposed me as the sister of a shameless troublemaker like you, let me abused by the netizens and discussed by major websites along with you. It’s utterly embarrassing! Ellinor, you must solve this problem immediately, then get your ass back to the countryside! Don’t cause any more trouble for our Mendoza family in Greenhaven, got it?”
Ellinor chuckled, “Sheila, wasn’t it you who screwed up your own career? And whether I stay in Greenhaven or go back to the countryside doesn’t seem to be your call, does
it?”
