Chapter 914 MAN COMES
Chapter 914
Just as the door of that sports car swung open, two women stepped out. One looked like she was in her late forties
or fifties, and the other seerned to be in her twenties. They were both dressed pretty simply.
The younger one had her hair done in two braids, while sporting a plaid shirt and some old jeans, and some canvas
shoes that were pretty dirty.
Ellinor watched as the two women slowly approached, finding them vaguely familiar but couldn’t quite place her
finger on where she’d seen them before.
As they got closer, the older woman stared at Ellinor, making no effort to hide her hostility.
“Ellinor, you’re living the good life, while my daughter is suffering because of you!”
This statement made it clear that the two women were mother and daughter. Ellinor looked carefully at the mother,

The older woman scoffed, “Don’t think that pretending not to know us will help you escape the mistakes you made
in the past!”
Meanwhile, the younger woman, who seemed to be about Ellinor’s age, kept her head down, her shoulders
trembling slightly, as if she were quietly sobbing.
Ellinor remained expressionless, “Please tell me, what crime have I committed against you?”
She was genuinely curious; she had no idea what wrong she had done.
The older woman turned her face away, trying to walk past Ellinor with her daughter, “We’re not here for you.
You’re married now; you’re someone else’s wife. We’re here to speak to those who have a say in your husband’s
family!”
Seeing that they were heading for Marissa, Ellinor quickly stepped in their way, “If I’m the one who made the
mistakes you’re talking about, then you should speak to me directly. I’m prepared to take the consequences.”
However, the older woman was not pleased with being stopped, “You? Can you compensate us for our losses over
the past years? Move!”
As the mother and daughter tried to sidestep her again, Ellinor quickly stepped in their path, determined not to let
these messy matters bother Marissa.
“Ellinor, if you’ve done nothing wrong, then don’t stop us from seeking justice from Marissa!” Arnold suddenly
stepped in, preventing Ellinor from blocking the mother and daughter’s path, and told them, “That old lady over
there is Marissa, a respected elder of the Blanchet family. If you have any complaints, go to her. She’ll definitely
stand up for you!”
With Arnold’s intervention, the two women successfully bypassed Ellinor and rushed to kneel in front of Marissa.
Veronica frowned, unsure of what these strangers were planning to do. She instinctively stepped forward, shielding
her grandmother, “What’s your
deal?”
The older woman suddenly burst into tears, “Marissa, your daughter-in-law is not a good person; please stand up
for Rosie!”

you have any issues, come to me directly. Don’t frighten the elderly.”
Marissa, realizing that the situation was not as simple as it seemed, spoke up, “Ellinor, I’m fine.”
Ellinor turned to Marissa, feeling apologetic, “I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”
Marissa simply shook her head gently, “We’re family. There’s no need to talk about trouble. Ellinor, since they’ve
come to our house, if we don’t let them speak their minds, I’m afraid they’ll cause trouble for you elsewhere. I’d be
more worried about you then. So, let them say what they need to in front of me today.”

Ellinor watched as Marissa’s gaze trembled slightly. Arnold and the others had been slandering and belittling her
earlier, but Grandma didn’t seem to believe them, nor was she swayed. She remained firmly on her side.
She thought that Grandma might believe them. After all, she wasn’t her biological grandmother, so the foundation
of trust didn’t exist.
