Chapter 996
Patricia stated firmly, “This is the only logical explanation I can think of. Otherwise, I can’t understand why my
brother is so into Ellinor! And my dad, don’t you think the way he looks at Ellinor and talks to her is kind of weird?”
Just thinking about McNeil’s reaction to seeing Ellinor made Xenia terrified, “If it’s really as you fear, we must get
Ellinor out of here!”
A flicker of determination appeared in Patricia’s eyes, “Ellinor certainly can’t stay, but we better not get our hands
dirty ourselves.”
“If we don’t do it ourselves, who’s gonna help us out?”
“Mom, I’ve already arranged for someone to handle the Ellinor. We don’t need to rush. Just wait for the result.”

Patricia replied, “If she succeeds, you’ll know.”
Xenia trusted her daughter wouldn’t randomly pick someone unreliable for this risky task, so she didn’t ask further,
“Okay, Patricia, go grab a bite! And get your adopted child to eat something as well. He’s been ignoring me, won’t
eat when I ask him to, and won’t even eat when I feed him; he’s such a pain!” A hint of annoyance appeared in
Patricia’s eyes, “If he doesn’t eat, just leave him be. If he starves to death, it’s one less burden for me!”
The Howard family’s mansion.
Ellinor explained to the two elderly members of the Howard family that the reason she skipped school during high
school was because she had already learned all there was to learn, and due to financial difficulties, she saved class
time to work and earn some living expenses.
She wasn’t lying about working.
At that time, she had just started Crescent Society, and her company was just getting off the ground, so she was
busy every day.
Her job was at her own company, so she wasn’t lying.
The main thing was she didn’t want too many people to know her identity.
Also, she didn’t take the entrance exam and was already accepted by many renowned schools, so she didn’t really
need to take the entrance exam, but she still went that day.
The university she applied to wasn’t Creston University.
Later, it was the president of Creston University who found her and persuaded her to come to Creston University
after much persuasion.

She clarified all this to the two elderly members of the Howard family just to prevent Xenia and Patricia from
misleading them again.
At the same time, she also told the two elderly members of the Howard family how Xenia and Patricia had sent
people to the countryside to investigate her and how they had been spreading rumors about her on the internet.
After listening to Ellinor’s detailed explanations, Dean and Alyssa felt both heartbroken and guilty for Ellinor.
They were heartbroken that she had to work from such a young age to make ends meet and couldn’t concentrate
on studying.
They felt guilty about how Xenia and Patricia had treated Ellinor…
Alyssa held Ellinor’s hand and said, “Ellinor, we believe everything you’ve told us! Don’t worry; we’ll give you a fair
deal. Xenia and our foolish granddaughter will get their just desserts; your Grandpa Dean has already sent them to
the countryside for reflection.”
Dean nodded, “Ellinor, I’m sorry for the trouble you’ve gone through! We won’t let them off easily just because
they’re our family!”
