Ellinor glanced at the old couple from the Howard family, feeling their affection, then remembered the dissatisfaction she had heard about her mom when she first arrived at, her heart filled with sarcasm and indifference.
If they knew she was the kid of Marlinie, whom they disliked, their attitudes would change, right?
Ellinor coolly withdrew her hand, and while smiling, she said, "Well, thanks for believing in me."
Their so-called "punishment" for Xenia and Patricia was just sending them to a country house.
Was that punishment?
To her, it was more like a vacation!
The house had everything they needed; they could enjoy delicious food and fine wine, only the long-term stay might be a bit lonely.
Compared to the way the Howard family punished her mom, this light punishment was nothing, right?
Ellinor's lips held a polite smile, but her eyes were cold, "By the way, I want to discuss something with you."
Alyssa spoke gently, "Just tell us what it is. If Grandpa Dean and I can do it, we'll definitely satisfy you!"
Dean echoed, "Yes, Ellinor, just name it!"
Ellinor kept smiling, "I didn't come to you because Mrs. Howard and Ms. Howard slandered me, and I just want to discuss something with you."
As far as I know, the child wasn't well taken care of by Ms. Howard, often getting injured and sick. I also heard that Ms. Howard became very indifferent to him once she realized the child was no longer useful to her.
So, I was thinking, if Ms. Howard doesn't like the child and doesn't want to take responsibility for him, can we let Mr. Blanchet take the child? After all, Mr. Blanchet is also one of the child's legal guardians.”
She had promised Baber that she would help him, and she intended to keep her word.
Baber reminded her of her helpless self when she was a child…
However, when Ellinor stated what she wanted to discuss, Dean, Alyssa, and McNeil all looked at her with surprise and disbelief.
