“Of course I know her, she’s my aunt’s daughter, how could I not know her? We just haven’t met”
Elbert replied looking puzzled at Eleanor.
“You know Emilia, what’s your relationship with her?”
Eleanor froze, staring blankly at Elbert.
Not only did Elbert know Emilia, but he also said that Emilia was his aunt’s daughter….
If Emilia was his aunt’s daughter, then wouldn’t he be her cousin?
Turns out they were related by blood.
But this blood relationship wasn’t what she wanted.
She remembered Bernard telling her that the Laurence family and the Pine family had a deep–rooted feud.
This was a deep–rooted feud, not a business competition, a real life and death feud.
With such deep hatred, she married Bernard. If people from the Laurence family found out, would she still have a place to stay?
Eleanor thought again, Bernard had previously looked into her background, he must have known her identity, then him….
He didn’t mind, and he told her that no matter what happened, she should trust him and he would never harm her!
With him, people from the Laurence family wouldn’t break them up, right?
As long as the Laurence family accepted her, then the Pine family….
Her sister would rather be homeless on the streets of G country than return to the Pine family for help, which meant the Pines weren’t good to them
How could she reveal her identity and let Elbert take her picture and send it to his father?
She wanted to live a peaceful life with Bernard, she couldn’t let people know she was from the Pine family.
Eleanor regained her composure, suppressing her surprise and regarding Elbert with a rational gaze.
“Just a casual inquiry, of course I’m aware of such a famous architect. I never expected any familial connection, she casually remarked, dispelling Elbert’s doubts with a single sentence
Understanding dawning upon him, Elbert nodded, saying. “So that’s how it is.”
Recognizing Elbert’s susceptibility, Eleanor cautiously ventured, “Indeed, children from affluent families have their own unique paths, Your cousin’s exceptional achievement as a world–renowned designer at such a young age is truly remarkable.”
Elbert readily accepted Eleanor’s words, adding ‘Emilia wasn’t raised within the Pine family. My grandparents held a disdain for my aunt, and once she married, they ceased all contact.”
Thus, it became evident that Elbert’s grandparents harbored ill feelings toward Emilia’s mother, resulting in their severed connection.
Eleanor just wanted to know why the Pines treated Emilia this way. Now that she knew some of the reasons, she stopped asking.
She had been wandering outside since she was a child and felt estranged from her relatives. Even now knowing she was a member of the Pine family didn’t feel particularly special
The only thing that made her a little curious was her mother. She didn’t know why a daughter of the Pine family would choose to marry beneath her.
Eleanor raised her hand, propped her elbow on the table, and rested her chin on her hand, looking at him, “How many siblings does your aunt have?”
Were there too many siblings that Elbert’s grandparents didn’t like his aunt?
Elbert glared at her again, “Don’t you read the news? The last generation of the Pine family only had three siblings.”
Eleanor gave him a mocking look, “Why would I read the news about your Pine family? There’s no big news that interests me.”
“Who says there’s no big news?”
Elbert beckoned Eleanor over, “Come here, I’ll tell you something that outsiders don’t know…”
Eleanor immediately leaned in, “What’s this secret that outsiders don’t know?”
