"Mrs. Lynch, whether or not you’re my mother, I know very well in my heart. You yourself said that my mom was knocked unconscious by you and thrown into the river, and now she’s long become a pile of bones." Alice Lynch froze; how could she know this?! She was suddenly filled with panic, because she didn’t know how many more secrets the other person might know. Her whole body was trembling, unable to say a word. "Sister, we were wrong before. I shouldn’t have targeted you everywhere, please let us stay in the villa. I promise I won’t oppose you anymore, okay?" Anna Hollis kneeled beside her and began crying, her little face flushed red. Eleanor Hollis thought Anna Hollis was truly extremely selfish, having no bottom line whatsoever, and her ability to adapt to circumstances was truly formidable. "Ten minutes have already passed, there’s fifty minutes left. If you choose to waste time here, that’s fine too. I’d directly have someone throw you out, and you’d leave with nothing!" Alice gritted her teeth and exchanged a glance with Anna, then unwillingly went upstairs to pack their things. Just like Eleanor said, if they continue to linger here, they’d end up leaving with nothing, which would be even worse. "That bitch! Don’t let me find an opportunity, or I’ll definitely kill her!" Anna cursed Eleanor while packing her things, stuffing everything valuable into the boxes. Alice felt as if she was still dreaming; she couldn’t understand how Nicholas Hollis suddenly transferred all the property to Eleanor Hollis. "Mom, what do you think we should do next?" Anna was very panicked. The only thing she was proud of was her status as a Hollis Family daughter. Now, everything in the Hollis Family had become Eleanor’s, and after living with Nicholas Hollis for so many years, she ended up with nothing! Alice hurriedly packed her own jewelry, valuable bags, and rings. "Anna, I’ll go find your dad. I need to ask clearly about this matter. For now, let’s pack our things." Anna stopped talking; the two spent a full forty minutes packing, filling over ten boxes before finally going downstairs. Eleanor sat on the sofa, watching the bodyguards carry those boxes down, her lips curling into a sarcastic smile. The more things they packed now, the more desperate they would feel when they ran out of money later. It is easy to go from frugal to lavish, but difficult to go from lavish to frugal. "You can send Mrs. Lynch out. Without my permission, they’re no longer allowed to step foot into the Hollis Family home in the future." Eleanor instructed the bodyguards. The bodyguards, having lived in the Hollis Family for so long, were perceptive. They knew Alice and Anna had fallen out of favor, and quickly nodded, carrying the boxes and heading out. "Eleanor Hollis, don’t go too far!" Alice shook with anger; she had always looked down on this bastard before, and now when had it come to this, with the other on top? Eleanor smiled, slowly putting down the cup in her hand. "Mrs. Lynch, I haven’t sent you to jail because your days ahead will only be worse than now." Alice’s face turned ashen, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at her. "And don’t expect to see my dad again. He already knows what you said in front of the kidnappers that day, do you think he will still trust you?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Alice’s heart jolted, and she took a big step back. Everything Nicholas Hollis knew? She understood she caused her sister’s death, which is why he turned the Hollis Family over to Eleanor Hollis in revenge! Truly commendable, stabbing her without a word until she was left exposed and raw. She said, her face pale, tightly clenching her fists. Eleanor sat on the sofa throughout, not moving an inch. Anna cast a deep look at Eleanor, then left. After they had left, Wendy Sullivan trembled, wanting to say something, but seeing Eleanor’s expression, ultimately closed her mouth, supporting herself with her cane as she went upstairs. Eleanor rubbed her temples with her hand. Even if the Hollis Family was hers now, so what? Her mother could never come back... Alice, who had left, kept trying to contact Nicholas Hollis, wanting to explain things face-to-face. She had stayed by his side for years, even if she didn’t have achievements, she had worked hard—so why treat her this way! But she had called that number for a long time, and no one answered; in the end, it showed she was blocked. Alice felt like throwing the phone out in anger. Clearly, everything was fine last night, but now, just in a short time, he turned his face and didn’t recognize her—men indeed aren’t reliable! "Anna, you’re now mom’s only hope. As long as you can marry Hugo Quinn, we can rise again; the Hollis Family is still far behind the Quinton Family." Anna gulped nervously. Would Hugo Quinn notice her? Right now, Hugo’s eyes are only on that bitch Eleanor! "Mom, can I... Has dad abandoned us?" Her eyes filled with panic, like she was sinking into a vast quagmire, unable to escape. "It’s okay, your dad is just confused for the moment. He’ll come around when he calms down." Though Alice was trying to comfort Anna, even she herself wasn’t confident. After all, the Hollis Family’s belongings were already Eleanor’s, and even if she regained Nicholas Hollis’s favor, what could she get? Yet, before she could think of how to retaliate against Eleanor Hollis, she saw her name trending on Weibo the next day. Clicking in, she discovered that this Weibo post had dominated the trending list since last midnight, where everyone was discussing her identity and Anna’s identity. The parentage test results between Anna and Nicholas Hollis were blatantly displayed, and everyone was sneering at this mysterious Hollis Family heiress. Alice nearly fainted from the blow; she thought leaving the Hollis Family was Eleanor’s biggest revenge, not expecting her to be so ruthless, directly cutting off all their escape routes. "Did Alice really kill her own sister? How vicious! She should die!" "Too bad it’s been so many years; there’s no evidence left. The police can’t arrest anyone." Alice browsed through the messages one by one, finally throwing the phone out hard. The phone smashed into pieces on the ground, like her current mood. "Mom, what should we do..." Anna had been left in disarray by these blows, grabbing Alice tightly as her lifeline. "Anna, don’t be afraid. You’re so beautiful; marrying into high society is simple. Remember what I said before; grasp Hugo Quinn well, it’s the only chance to rise." Anna began to cry, sobbing uncontrollably. She didn’t want to live a life dependent on a man; it’d be better to die. "What problem does crying solve?! Are you just willing to be trampled on by Eleanor Hollis this way?! Anna, pull yourself together!"
