Chapter 427

“I reckon, now that you’re married into the Blanchet family, you should just enjoy your life and not dig

up the past! I made a promise to your mom not to let your enemies find you

Ellinor blinked, surprised at this ‘father, who shared neither blood nor affection with her. His words,

however, seemed like a kind warning, maybe a reflection of his complicated feelings for his first love

Ellinor smiled. “Thanks for the heads up I will live well and protect myself. Mr. Arnold, goodbye”

With that she sauntered out of the study

Arnold frowned deeply and let out a long sigh. He had managed to keep Ellinor safe till she turned

twenty, which fulfilled his promise to his first love. Now that she was all grown up and ready to fly the

nest, he couldn’t interfere anymore.

Downstairs in the Mendoza house

A few burly men were moving the gifts that the Blanchet family had sent for the engagement

“Hey! Who are you guys? What gives you the right to barge into my house and move stuff around? Put

those down! Those are my things; you can’t take them!”

Sheila’s frantic voice echoed around the Mendoza house.

Tracy also chimed in, “My daughter is right, you can’t move things in our house! If you don’t put the

stuff down and leave my house now, I’m calling the police.”

Ellinor strolled down from upstairs, “I asked them to move the stuff.”

Sheila looked up, her eyes red with rage, “Ellinor, who gave you the right to order people to move stuff

in my house? You bitch!”

Ellinor smiled, “Because those are all my husband’s gifts, you got a problem with that?!

Sheila gritted her teeth, “Ellinor, you stole my man, now you want to steal my dowry: I will kill you

today!”

With that, Sheila charged at her but Tracy managed to hold back her daughter. “Sheila, cool down,

don’t be impulsive!”

“What’s going on now? Why all this noise? Can’t we have a quiet day?”

Arnold also heard the noise downstairs and went down to check

Sheila pointed angrily at the men, “Dad, look! Your precious little daughter has people robbing our

house!”

Arnold looked closely and realized that the stuff being moved were gifts from the Blanchet family. He

got anxious, “Ellinor, didn’t you say that if I told you about everything. you wouldn’t take the Blanchet

family’s engagement gifts? You can’t just go back on your word!”

Ellinor said calmly, “I was going to take the engagement gifts because they’re from my husband and

they’re special to me. But Mr. Arnold, I won’t forget your kindness for taking me in all these years, so I

will compensate you with an amount equal to the value of those gifts.”

She was only talking about taking her in, not raising her. The Mendoza family never raised her.

Ellinor took out a check from her coat pocket and handed it to Arnold, “Spend it wisely, it’s enough for

your family of three to live comfortably for several generations.”

Arnold glanced at the amount on the check. His eyes widened and he was speechless

Sheila walked over disdainfully, “Ellinor, you think you can get rid of us with a few hundred thousand?

We have seen money

As she was talking, she leaned over to her dad and saw the countless zeros on the check. She

swallowed hard, unable to believe her eyes.

Seeing the shocked reactions of the father and daughter, Tracy also curiously took a look, her eyes

almost popped out! “Ellinor, where… where did you get so much money?!”
