The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 340

Arnold said angrily, "Ellinor Mendoza, go home now! Dispose of all the flowers in front of the house first, and then do things by yourself, admit your mistakes to the media and the public, and make sure they forgive you. Don't make our family ashamed because of you!"

But Ellinor was calm, even on the verge of laughter.

Just now, an old lady she barely knew had firmly believed in her, urging her to stay indoors for safety.

But her father, on the contrary, hoped to let her face the public opinion on the Internet immediately, so as to help him clear his name. The contrast between the two was great. Since she was a kid, this had always been Arnold's way. Whenever anything went wrong, he would lash out at her, blaming and berating her without any justification.

Not once did he try to understand her side of the story, consider whether she was wronged or misunderstood.

Not even once.

She used to wonder, why was her dad so different from others? She couldn't feel the fatherly love her classmates often praised in their essays.

But it wouldn't be accurate to say that Arnold was different from other fathers. Look at his attitude towards Sheila Mendoza, it was like a perfect father who loved his daughter.

No matter what Sheila did, Arnold would get over it quickly and continue to spoil her as before.

With Ellinor, not at all. Now, Ellinor understood why Arnold was so cold and indifferent to her. They weren't blood-related, so his feelings for her didn't go beyond mere sympathy.

Ellinor sounded a tad impatient, "Huh? Do I have an attitude problem? Didn't I just agree to solve the problems you mentioned? What's there to be unhappy about?"

Arnold was seething, "You're becoming more and more ungrateful! Not even calling me 'dad' anymore, do you think you're something special?!"

"Dad, let me talk to her." Sheila took over the phone. With her perfectly made-up face, she looked disdainfully into the camera:

"Ellinor, you bad luck charm! Ever since you left the countryside to come to the city, our Mendoza family has been having bad luck! You messed up my career a while ago, and now you've exposed me as the sister of a shameless troublemaker like you, let me abused by the netizens and discussed by major websites along with you. It's utterly embarrassing! Ellinor, you must solve this problem immediately, then get your ass back to the countryside! Don't cause any more trouble for our Mendoza family in Greenhaven, got it?"

Ellinor chuckled, "Sheila, wasn't it you who screwed up your own career? And whether I stay in Greenhaven or go back to the countryside doesn't seem to be your call, does it?"
