Chapter 875
To Blake’s astonishment, it wasn’t his granddaughter seated next to him or Bernard in the prominent
position who took the cane from his hand–it was Eleanor herself, the one who had just been struck by
it.
Eleanor’s gentle and compassionate smile managed to stir something within Blake You are a Pine, and
there is nothing that needs to be addressed,” he stated.
Eleanor, unperturbed by her Pine lineage, responded, “Regardless of whether I am a Pine or not, there
is still something that needs to be clarified”
She placed the cane back onto the table and directed her words to everyone present am aware of the
longstanding enmity between the Pines and the Laurences. I understand that you have suffered the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtloss of loved ones, and it is undoubtedly painful. However, what you may not know is that the Pines
have endured far greater losses than the Laurences, as far as my knowledge goes.”
“You drove the Pines away to G country, and to this day, they dare not provoke the Laurences. I was
not even born when the Laurences subjected the Pines to such cruelty. It is truly unfair to heap all this
hatred onto me, Eleanor asserted.
Arlene scoffed, “As long as you’re a Pine, you can never be innocent!”
Eleanor glanced at Arlene but didn’t retort immediately. Instead, she continued, “I’ve already explained
to Blake that my mom, though from the Pine family, was kicked out when she was young, and has long
severed lies with them.
“Even if I am a Pine, they don’t acknowledge me or my mom. Why should we bear the consequences
of the disputes caused by them? That’s not fair to us!”
After saying this, Eleanor stressed again, “Besides, I grew up in an orphanage and never even met my
mom. I don’t even know how many people there are in the Pine family. How could I possibly be a spy
sent by them? It just doesn’t make sense
Bernard’s family members, trembling, interrupted, “How do we know if what you’re saying is true or
false?”
Before Eleanor could reply, Cedric, dressed in a white suit, walked in from the door, true!”
Everyone’s attention turned to Cedric, “You better have proof to back up your words, don’t just take
Bernard’s side for no reason.”

Arlene reached out to him, “If you have proof, then show it to us.”

hard to find.”
Arlene’s face turned red with anger, “You!”
Cedric took his eyes off her and looked at Blake, “Grandpa, this happened so many years ago. Bernard
was just a baby when they passed away. He’s been living with his uncle, and he doesn’t hold a grudge
about it. Why are you still hung up on the past?
“Besides, didn’t we already hit the Pines pretty hard? Only one son of Jensen from their generation is
left. We’ve caused them a great deal of harm. The current head of the Pine family is that son, Sheldon,
and he’s been very well–behaved in recent years. He hasn’t done anything drastic, and hasn’t even
competed for our Laurence family’s projects. He clearly doesn’t want to keep fighting with us, why are
