This son used to listen to her the most, so why is he opposing her now?
She was about to continue her outburst when the old man spoke up.
"Enough, if you find Eleanor an eyesore, you can continue to go out and eat vegetarian and chant Buddha, why co back?"
The old man’s words were indeed blunt, as if he had slapped Wendy Sullivan hard in the face.
Wendy Sullivan had been holding back her anger, and upon hearing his words, she almost trembled all over and nearly fainted.
Anna Hollis quickly helped the older woman, looking at her grandfather and father with dissatisfaction.
"Grandpa, Dad, I think you’ve been deceived by Eleanor. She’s not a good person. Grandma’s health isn’t great. What if sothing happens to her?"
Nicholas Hollis tried to help Wendy Sullivan up, but she refused him, her face filled with anger.
"It’s been a while since I ca ho, and it feels like there’s no place for here anymore. I suppose tonight’s dinner wasn’t prepared for either, so I’m not eating."
She glanced at Anna Hollis and realized this granddaughter was still obedient.
"Anna, help upstairs."
Anna Hollis proudly supported her, giving Eleanor a fierce glare as they passed.
Eleanor pretended not to see her look and sat there brooding on the sofa.
"Dad, Grandpa, you should go and persuade Grandma. She’s unwell and might get sick from hunger."
Eleanor’s reasonable nature made Wendy Sullivan seem all the more petty, and the old man and Nicholas Hollis were indeed planning to invite her down for dinner, but upon hearing Eleanor’s words, they froze.
"Missing one al won’t kill her. When she’s hungry, she’ll co down naturally. Don’t worry about it, Eleanor, co and sit down for dinner."
Eleanor’s face was full of conflict, but since both of them had said so, she had no choice but to sit down.
Wendy Sullivan waited upstairs for a long ti, but no one ca. She was so angry she nearly broke the cane in her hand.
Anna Hollis seized the opportunity to relentlessly degrade Eleanor.
"Grandma, you saw it too. Dad and Grandpa are obsessed now and listen to everything Eleanor says. Ever since she ca to the Hollis Family, I haven’t had a single peaceful day. Recently, I asked Dad to buy a car, but Dad said it was too expensive, yet he turned around and bought Eleanor a Porsche. Now, no one’s status compares to Eleanor’s."
Wendy Sullivan’s face grew increasingly unsightly, and finally, she snorted coldly.
"That woman really has so tricks up her sleeve!"
Rachel Lynch happened to co in, carrying a cup of tea.
"Mom, have so tea first. Don’t let this situation upset you."
Wendy Sullivan was quite satisfied with Rachel Lynch as her daughter-in-law, and seeing her arrive cald her anger a bit.
She took a sip of water, unsure of the situation downstairs, and could only speak up.
"What are the three of them doing downstairs?"
Rachel Lynch’s face froze, and she carefully looked at her expression before sighing.
"They’re eating. It seems they don’t plan to wait for us. Mom, Eleanor has control over the entire house. I can’t do anything about it. Before you ca, Anna and I were treated the sa way."
When Wendy Sullivan heard this, she couldn’t take it anymore, instantly standing up and throwing the cup out in anger.
"This is ridiculous! Eleanor was taken away as a child. Who knows if the one who ca back is actually a Hollis! Nicholas and the old man are really confused. No, I’m going down!!"
Eleanor originally thought the older lady would stay upstairs for a long ti, but she ca down shortly after.
Seeing the three of them eating happily irritated Wendy Sullivan so much that she walked up and flipped the tablecloth, and all the dishes fell to the ground with a crash.
Next to Eleanor was a bowl of soup, and the broth spilled all over her legs, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Eleanor!"
Nicholas Hollis hurriedly grabbed so tissues to wipe her down, glaring at Wendy Sullivan with dissatisfaction.
Wendy Sullivan’s whole body stiffened. It was the first ti her son had looked at her like that.
The old man was also sowhat angry but was still holding it in.
Wendy Sullivan raised her neck; she had been used to having her way in this house, and both n had to listen to her, so unconsciously, she took a lofty stance.
"Eleanor went to the countryside for so many years, she was so young when she was taken away, how can you be sure she is the child from before? Maybe she was swapped. I need her to take a paternity test. If she’s not a Hollis, she absolutely cannot enter the Hollis household!"
Her words were overbearing, looking down at the people in front of her.
Eleanor kept her head down, but her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
She really disliked Wendy Sullivan. Her grandmother had said before that Wendy Sullivan never liked her. When she was sent to the countryside, Wendy Sullivan’s curses included hoping she’d die there and never return.
At that ti, her grandmother wasn’t good at arguing, and Wendy Sullivan’s vicious words directly angered her into fainting, leading to Rachel Lynch and her mother breaking off their relationship completely.
So Eleanor didn’t have any good feelings toward her.
"If Eleanor isn’t my child, then whose child is she? Mom, please stop causing trouble."
Nicholas Hollis’s face showed a hint of anger. Eleanor resembled him in certain ways, and he wasn’t blind; he could tell.
Wendy Sullivan snorted coldly, gazing at Eleanor with arrogance.
"The paternity test is a must."
Nicholas Hollis looked at Eleanor with difficulty. If the old lady insisted, he couldn’t stop her.
Eleanor raised an eyebrow, finding it amusing, but she agreed nonetheless.
"Isn’t it just a paternity test? Fine, but Anna Hollis has to accompany . Who knows if she’s a Hollis either, considering she doesn’t look anything like Dad."
Eleanor had always suspected this because Anna Hollis didn’t resemble Nicholas, and it was said that after Rachel Lynch returned from an incident, Anna’s existence was discovered; who knew what happened in between.
"Anna is a Hollis child! We’ve all recognized her identity without a doubt; the one needing the test is you."
Wendy Sullivan pulled Anna Hollis by her side, her face full of gentleness, but this gentleness disappeared completely when facing Eleanor.
"Anna, go with Eleanor."
Nicholas Hollis thought this couldn’t wrong Eleanor alone; it would be best to involve Anna Hollis too, which might make Eleanor feel better.
Standing beside Anna Hollis, Rachel Lynch’s face instantly turned unsightly.
A paternity test?
If this were done, how would she have the face to stay in the Hollis family?
"Nicholas, what do you an by this? Are you suspecting of infidelity?"
Her voice was sharp as she pulled Anna behind her, full of disappointnt.
