The office was filled with only the sound of Jude Winslow playing a game, making the surrounding silence even more eerily silent. Mia Winslow stared intently at Eleanor Winslow, wishing she could bore a hole through her with her gaze. "Your five minutes are up, please leave!" Mia suddenly issued an eviction order. Eleanor’s calm eyes carried a hint of mockery: "Mia Winslow, I’m not talking to you as an intern from Aurelian & Partners, but as the wife who hasn’t finalized her divorce with Adrian Grant, Eleanor Winslow." When Mia heard the words ’Adrian Grant’s wife’, her pupils contracted sharply as if she had been provoked. Eleanor relaxed on the sofa, casually guessing, "Did you confront Adrian Grant, only for him to find someone new and dump you?" Mia clenched her fists tightly, truly getting hit halfway by Eleanor’s words! "So what if it is? And what if it’s not?" Mia observed Eleanor’s reaction and noticed that Eleanor’s pupils slightly trembled when she said ’So what if it is’. Clearly, she cares a lot! Mia’s smile grew nasty: "Eleanor, no matter how things are between me and Adrian Grant, it doesn’t change the fact that Adrian doesn’t like you." Eleanor acted like she had heard a joke: "I’m the one who brought up the divorce. Do you think I care whether Adrian likes me or not? I just heard you cried and wanted to hear the joke." The game broadcast sounded somewhat harsh. Seeing Eleanor leave, Jude Winslow hurriedly chased after her. "Jude Winslow!" Mia shouted angrily, "I’m your sister, where are you going!" Jude looked at Mia helplessly: "No, Mia Winslow, why don’t you just find someone to marry? Are you trying to be a homewrecker by stirring up trouble between Eleanor and Adrian Grant? Besides, we have the same mom, but Eleanor and I have the same dad, you two are six of one and half a dozen of the other." "What six of one and half a dozen of the other! The two of us are the real —" Mia’s indignant words abruptly stopped, forced back down. Eleanor had just opened the door and heard the sentence cut off abruptly, a thought unspeakably popped into her mind: We two are the real — what? Real sisters? Yvonne Vance was Eugene Winslow’s first love, and Mia is two years older than Eleanor, Yvonne could have given birth to Eugene’s daughter before Eleanor’s mom got pregnant! This also explained why Mia was so close to Eugene from a young age and later dropped her mother’s last name ’Vance’ for ’Winslow’! This realization made Eleanor’s whole body turn cold. If Eugene Winslow never broke off with Yvonne Vance, what would that mean for her mother’s years of infatuation? Just a joke? Jude Winslow chased after her, leaving the office quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Mia’s heart was still pounding, remnants of the slip of the tongue leaving her frightened and jumpy. Luckily, she managed to hold her tongue in time, and Eleanor seemed to not show any sign of understanding the slip, perhaps she really didn’t hear it, truly fortunate! She’d rather have the reputation of being a ’divorcee’s daughter’ than that of ’Eugene Winslow’s illegitimate child’. The latter was too harsh, she would become a laughingstock and be despised! Perhaps it was just psychological, but Mia covered her left wrist with her right hand, feeling like the recent pain in her wrist had become more frequent and noticeable. "What’s wrong?" Jude Winslow followed Eleanor outside, noticing something was off, he asked. Eleanor carefully examined Jude, only now realizing how much Jude and Mia resembled each other, especially their ears and eyebrows! Jude and Mia seemed more like siblings, while Eleanor and Jude only shared similarities in the corners of their eyes and lips. "Jude Winslow, you really look like Mia," Eleanor couldn’t help but say. Jude seemed deeply insulted, taking two steps back: "Who are you insulting! I’m nothing like her, young master here is genuine and straightforward, alright!" "..." Eleanor said, "I mean your looks." Only then did Jude appear as a pacified puppy, brushing his blue hair with a cocky attitude: "I’m way more handsome than her!" Eleanor wasn’t in the mood for banter, her mind was full of her earlier suspicion. Jude still wanted to persuade Eleanor not to impulsively get rid of a high-quality long-term supporter but was stopped by a single glance from Eleanor. Eleanor said, "If you try to persuade me in English, I might listen." Jude Winslow: "...Then I think it’s best to respect your personal will." Speaking English, never, not in this lifetime! Eleanor returned home and compared photos of Mia and Eugene Winslow over and over. The more she looked, the more alike they appeared! Compared to Jude Winslow, Mia’s appearance was even more similar to Eugene Winslow, and Jude resembled Yvonne Vance, so Eleanor never realized that Mia and Jude might be full siblings! She needs to find time to visit the Winslow Family villa and obtain biological samples from Eugene Winslow and Mia. She needs to conduct a paternity test! As for whether Mia wept over Adrian Grant, or whether Adrian likes Mia... Eleanor pressed her lips, suppressing the agitation in her heart, and did not dwell on it further. "Eleanor, what exactly did you do? A client has lodged a complaint against us!" The next morning, as Eleanor just arrived at the company, she was stopped by Project Manager Lawyer Owens who had sent files the previous day. Cecilia Yates holding a cup of coffee seemed to be passing by, stopped and said, "Eleanor, this client is known in the industry for being good-tempered, and now they’ve complained about our unprofessionalism and rudeness, it’s simply a disaster for our law firm. You better go apologize and gain their forgiveness." Latest content published on noᴠelfire.net A client complaint would affect the performance appraisal of the project manager, so Lawyer Owens immediately said, "Eleanor, you must go apologize today!" Colleagues in the office all put down their work and looked over. This intern named Eleanor couldn’t stop causing trouble every few days?! Eleanor placed her backpack on her desk, speaking with composure, "Lawyer Owens, I’m an intern in the International Mergers and Acquisitions Economic Group, not from your Celebrity Brokerage Economic Group. You asked me to deliver the files, perhaps understanding my relationship with your client, Mia Winslow, and also accepting the corresponding outcome or consequences. I waited patiently outside Mia’s office for nearly two hours despite her deliberate difficulty, remaining courteous throughout. I believe I was completely professional. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage." Eleanor’s words were reasonable and factual, hardly sounded like falsehoods. Lawyer Owens caught the key point: "What’s your relationship with Mia Winslow?" Eleanor replied, "Mia Winslow is my stepmother’s daughter." "Eleanor is actually related to Mia Winslow?" "Isn’t Mia Winslow from a wealthy family? Then Eleanor is too...?" "Oh my God! Eleanor is so low-key!" Amidst the shocked exclamations surrounding her, Eleanor turned to Cecilia Yates: "Cecilia Yates, when did you find out about my relationship with Mia Winslow? Knowing this, why did you still suggest I be the one to deliver the files? What’s your intent?"
