"Hmm, yes, it was originally said that it wasn’t wanted."
Eleanor Hollis’s face was calm, she glanced at her.
"I see you really like it, if you want it, you can take it."
A trace of surprise flashed through Anna Hollis’s eyes, she had wanted this car for a long time but never had the chance to buy it, and she didn’t have the money.
She was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Rachel Lynch.
"Anna, this is your sister’s thing, how can you take it? If you want it, I can buy you one another day."
Anna Hollis’s face showed a bit of reluctance, this was nearly a million worth of item, and it was personally given by Eleanor Hollis, it would be a shame not to take it.
Rachel Lynch looked at her pathetic manner and sighed, quietly whispered into her ear.
"If your dad sees you driving Eleanor Hollis’s car, you won’t be living a good life, why aren’t you using your brain."
Anna seemed to suddenly be enlightened by her, realizing this was Eleanor Hollis setting a trap for her, she glared resentfully at the other side.
Eleanor raised her eyebrow, said nothing, and put the keys away.
Rachel sat down slowly beside them, her face full of smiles.
"Eleanor, since you’re already part of the Hollis Family, let’s leave the past grievances aside, you’re my daughter, naturally, I care for you. In the future, don’t have those little thoughts like earlier, let’s live together as a family."
It seemed she was trying to make peace with Eleanor, but her posture was too high, making it uncomfortable to watch.
Eleanor Hollis said nothing, squinted slightly before speaking with a smile.
"Alright, Mrs. Lynch."
Nicholas Hollis walked in to find the three of them watching TV together, feeling somewhat relieved, it seemed the tension between them had eased.
"Nicholas, you’re back."
Rachel Lynch got up first, walked to his side, and took his coat off, hanging it on the coat rack beside them.
"Dad, I’m sorry, what happened this morning was my fault."
Anna Hollis spoke at this time too, her face full of apology, gently massaging his shoulder after Nicholas sat down.
However, this harmonious scene was something Eleanor Hollis was destined not to be part of. She sat in place, her eyes still fixed on the TV.
Nicholas feared she might overthink, he patted Anna’s hand, signaling her to stop.
"Eleanor, how have you been here?"
Eleanor Hollis boredly changed channels, her injury was almost healed, she could start work at Grandeur tomorrow. If this continued, she might grow mushrooms.
"I’m going to work at Grandeur tomorrow."
Nicholas had always known she worked at Grandeur, but this time, with the matter of Old Master Quinn, he was somewhat worried.
"Old Master Quinn hasn’t been discharged yet, it’s not good for you to go to Grandeur under such circumstances. Eleanor, do you really think Hugo has no resentment at all? Even if that incident wasn’t intentional, it caused the old man’s injury, can’t be washed away easily. Recently, you should temporarily not go to Grandeur to avoid any other incidents."
Eleanor’s head drooped, she wasn’t sure if Hugo truly harbored no resentment but as long as that man hadn’t asked her to leave, she would stay by his side. This relationship couldn’t burden him alone.
"I want to go to Grandeur."
She spoke with determination.
Nicholas saw he couldn’t change her mind and could only sigh.
"I’ve already informed people outside that you’ve been brought home. Everyone knows you’re now a Miss of the Hollis Family, no one should trouble you, Eleanor, remember to take care of yourself."
The workplace is terrifying, even though Hugo is at Grandeur, he still worries.
Eleanor didn’t respond, continued listlessly changing channels, found recently there isn’t anything good on TV.
At dinner, Hollis Family Grandma returned, adorned with pearls and jade on her ears and hands, looking very spirited.
Seeing the old lady, Anna immediately ran over and plopped into her arms.
"Grandma, you’re finally back, I’ve missed you so much."
Hollis Family Grandma was called Wendy Sullivan, she had been at the temple for fasting and praying, she was very superstitious.
Wendy Sullivan reached out to touch Anna’s head, face full of smiles.
"Anna, haven’t you been eating well recently? You seem to have lost weight."
Anna cooed, hugging her arm.
"It’s not that I haven’t been eating well, I just couldn’t eat, Grandma, if you don’t come back soon, I’ll be bullied to death."
Wendy Sullivan’s gaze finally turned to Eleanor sitting on the sofa, seeing her return yet not standing up to greet, truly disrespectful.
"Truly a girl raised in the countryside, doesn’t understand any manners!"
She couldn’t help but reprimand, her brows furrowed tight.
Eleanor changed the channel again, speaking with a smile.
"Grandma, since you know, why bother reprimanding me."
Wendy Sullivan was so angry her nose twisted, pointed at Eleanor but couldn’t speak for a while.
A trace of amusement flashed in Anna’s eyes, this Eleanor probably doesn’t know Grandma’s status at home, even her dad listens to her.
"Nicholas, is this the daughter you brought back?"
Wendy Sullivan dissatisfiedly looked at Nicholas, full of blame.
"Since she was raised in the countryside, send her back to the countryside, why keep her at home? From now on, you can send her some money monthly, that counts as fulfilling parental duty."
Nicholas gently supported her, his tone soft.
"Mom, I was wrong before, let this child suffer a lot. Bringing her back this time is to make up for the guilt, how can I send her back to the countryside."
Wendy Sullivan stiffened all over, this bad luck star was going to stay with the Hollis Family?
"Nicholas, you know what the fortune teller said, I’ll give you three days to get her out of here, otherwise."
Her brow raised, looking fierce.
Eleanor stood up, a trace of a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"It seems I shouldn’t have come here. I always knew there was no place for me in the Hollis Family, sorry to bother."
With that, she was about to go upstairs to pack her things, but Nicholas quickly grabbed her.
"Eleanor, what are you doing, sit down immediately. This is a misunderstanding, your grandma is not prejudiced."
Eleanor said nothing but slowly sat down, her head lowered in silence. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
Wendy Sullivan snorted coldly.
"Nicholas, whatever you say I won’t agree, this child will bring misfortune to the Hollis Family."
"Mom, what age are we in now, how can you still believe such things? Eleanor has been neglected for so many years because of those words, we’ve owed her too much. So I’ve decided on this matter, don’t say anything more."
A trace of surprise flashed on Wendy Sullivan’s face and then she was so angry she felt dizzy.
