Chapter 918
Arnold rubbed his forehead in exasperation, “What a disgrace to the family! I, Arnold, have lived a life of integrity, how could I have adopted such a shameless daughter?” Sheila tried to comfort him, draping her arm around his, “Dad, don’t be upset over that ungrateful daughter. You still have me, don’t you?”
Tracy chimed in, “Exactly, Arnold, we still have Sheila. As for Ellinor, hopefully she can turn over a new leaf and make things right.”
Given the precise details provided by that woman, Marissa started to have doubts, She looked at Ellinor, unwilling to believe that the child she adored could be such a
person.
Ellinor remained cool as a cucumber, “Like I said before, whether it’s about me taking credit for someone else’s work or having an abortion, you need evidence. Otherwise, it’s all slander!”
The woman retorted, “The evidence is that you took leave before the entrance exam to have an abortion!”
Ellinor brushed it off, “You said I had an abortion. Where did I have it? Which hospital? Which doctor?”
The woman responded, “Who would know the specifics of the dirty deeds you’ve done yourself?! It must have been done in some under–the–table clinic in town, which closed down years ago.”
Ellinor said, “Closed down? So, there’s no evidence.”
The woman gritted her teeth and said confidently, “Ellinor, I may not be able to prove that you had an abortion, but I can prove that you’re not a good student, and there’s no way you got into Creston University on your own!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Really? How can you prove that?”
The woman smirked, “You were frequently absent from school during your high school years. The school has all the attendance records! How could someone who often skips school be a good student? How could they excel academically? Marissa, you can send someone to check the attendance records at our local high school to see if Ellinor often skipped school!”
Marissa glanced at Ellinor hesitantly, her eyes full of confusion and complexity, “Ellinor, is this…”
Ellinor fell silent.
During her high school years, she did often skip school.
But of course, it wasn’t because she was out fooling around.
Back then, she had just established the prototype of the Crescent Society. Ida Gipson and Chase Larios were not yet capable of standing on their own, so she had to take charge herself.
However, she had mastered the school curriculum long ago, so she never fell behind in exams and had been recommended to many universities. The teachers and principals knew all about this.
But these people today came prepared. The principal and teachers at the school must have been bribed.
Even if they weren’t bribed, they might not be brave enough to stand up for her due to some pressure.
The woman saw that Ellinor had not spoken for a long time and felt that she had the upper hand, “Ellinor, have you run out of things to say? You know better than anyone whether or not you often skipped school during your high school years! This alone is enough to prove that you’re not a good student or a good girl!”
“I know whether my wife is a good girl better than anyone else, and I don’t need any evidence to prove it.”
