The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 112

Sheila shot Ellinor a look, ready to throw a couple more insults her way, but was cut off by the sudden ring of her phone.

It was a video call from their dad, Arnold Mendoza.

Sheila waved her phone in front of Ellinor, bragging, “See, it's Dad calling! I bet you hardly ever get calls from him, huh? Just shows that he doesn't care about his illegitimate daughter!”

Ellinor just shrugged and laughed, “Better answer it quick, sis, or your beloved dad might hang up.”

Sheila picked up, making sure Ellinor could hear.

On-screen, Arnold and Tracy appeared, smiling at their celebrity daughter.

Arnold asked with concern, “How's work today, Sheila? Have you eaten yet?”

Sheila pouted, pretending to be upset, “Haven't had the chance! I've been so busy, who has time for food?”

Arnold frowned, “You've got to eat! No matter how busy you are, health comes first!”

Tracy chimed in, “Sheila, your dad is right! If you really can't, have some milk first. We'll be worried sick if you starve yourself.”

Sheila put on a wronged face, “I've no appetite for anything but Dad’s cooking.”

Arnold cooed, “Well, that's easy. I'll cook for you when you get back from work!”

“But I’ll get home so late! You'll be asleep...”

“Doesn't matter! No matter how late, I'll get up to cook for you!”

“Thanks, Dad. I knew you loved me the most!”

“Alright, your mom and I won't disturb you at work. Come home early tonight; I'll cook for you!”

Just as Arnold was about to hang up, Sheila called him back.

Ellinor closed her eyes, choosing to ignore her.

Sheila felt she hadn't vented enough and added, “Ellinor, nobody in this world could love you!”

Ellinor gripped her water bottle tightly, “So what? Should I die if no one loves me?”

Sheila scoffed, “No one would care whether you live or die. No one would mourn your death! What's the use of being a top graduate? In the end, aren't you just my assistant? Ellinor, you better behave yourself, or I'll have Dad kick you out of the Mendoza family!”

Without batting an eyelid, Ellinor replied, “Do as you wish, sis. I'll be waiting.”

Sheila glared at Ellinor's nonchalant look, feeling unsatisfied.

But she figured there was no need to deal with her right away. She had plenty of time and opportunities to knock her down a peg or two in the future!
