Chapter 915
Marissa’s reaction left Ellinor a bit taken aback and somewhat touched.
Granny was right. These people, who came only to stir up trouble with the Blanchet family, wouldn’t quit until they made enough of a fuss in front of the Blanchets.
Keeping this in mind, Ellinor gave a nod, saying, “Alright, I’ll listen to Granny.”
Marissa also nodded in agreement. She took a couple of steps forward, looked down at the mother and daughter still weeping on the ground, and said sternly, “Quit your crying, would ya? With you guys making such a scene at our doorstep, anyone would think something major’s gone down in our home!”
Intimidated by Marissa’s stern demeanor, the two quieted down. The elder woman spoke, “Marissa, we didn’t mean to; it’s just that Ellinor really messed us up bad. We feel wronged…”
Marissa didn’t bother to respond. She turned to the servant standing by and said, “Lead them in for now. If they have anything to say, let them spill it inside, there’s no need to make a spectacle for the passersby!”
The servant nodded, “Yes, Marissa.”
After that, Veronica helped Marissa back into the mansion.
Ellinor was about to follow them and help Granny, but Sheila, teetering on her high heels, blocked her way.
Sheila scoffed with her chin lifted, “Ellinor, looks like your luck’s run out today!”
Ellinor cocked an eyebrow and gave her a sidelong glance, “Whether my luck’s run out or not isn’t for you to say. But your luck’s definitely run dry!”
“You!” Sheila gritted her teeth as her smile froze stiff on her face.
With a light push of a finger, Ellinor brushed past Sheila, elegantly catching up with Marissa and lending her a hand as they went inside.
“Mum, Dad! Look at her!” Sheila stamped her foot in frustration, making her high heel twist and nearly causing her to lose her balance.
Tracy steadied her daughter in time, soothing, “Sheila, why are you even bothering with her right now? Once the Blanchets hear about Ellinor’s shenanigans in the countryside, she’ll be out on her ass!”
Sheila gave it some thought and felt somewhat appeased. Then she followed them inside to watch the drama unfold.
Inside the Blanchet’s living room, only Devin and a few servants were waiting.
Theo and Putnam were still in a meeting and hadn’t come out.
Marissa sat elegantly on a single sofa. Despite not liking these visitors, she courteously had coffee served for them.
“So, tell me what did Ellinor do to offend you and make you come knocking?”
Marissa asked as she took a sip of her coffee.
The elder woman, who had never seen a mansion as luxurious as the Blanchet’s, was looking around in awe. She only snapped back to reality when she heard Marissa’s question.
