Chapter 76

The speaker blared, and a stern voice of a police officer came through

“Ellinor, someone found your wallet and phone this afternoon, and they used your ID to check into a

hotel. Can you swing by the police station to confirm these are your things and to see if anything else is

missing?”

Ellinor responded politely. “Sure, got it, thanks, sir!”

“No worries”

After hanging up. Ellinor looked at Veronica calmly, “That’s it? Getting my lost stuff back is a scandal

now? Veronica, you thought the police were reaching out to me for a huge issue?”

Veronica was speechless

This was not what she expected!

The police contacted Ellinor just because she lost something?

“Ellinor, glad you’re good, so glad! You did give me a fright!” Marissa let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the old lady turned her head, looking at her trouble finding granddaughter with annoyance,

“Veronica, what’s wrong with you recently, always making a mountain out of a molehill Stop shooting

your mouth off!”

Veronica wouldn’t take it, accusing Ellinor, “Grandma, I’m not talking nonsense! Even Collin found out

Ellinor was at the hotel today! And the woman in the news video was obviously her! Why else would

she be dressed just like the woman in the video!”

Indeed, Ellinor’s outfit was the same as the woman in the video, but she remained calm and

unflustered, ‘My clothes aren’t some limited edition or anything. It’s not unusual to have the same outfit.

But Veronica, why are you trying to smear me, linking me to some negative news story?”

Veronica snorted, “Is it me smearing you, or are you guilty as charged? You checked into the hotel, and

you’re dressed just like the woman in the video. What a coincidence, huh? How do you explain that?”

Ellinor responded innocently. “The police just made it clear on the phone, someone used my ID to

check into that hotel. I lost my wallet, ID, and phone when we were shopping this afternoon Couldn’t

reach you, so I came back home alone.”

Veronica chuckled, ‘Ellinor, you’re blatantly lying!

Her explanation might fool grandma, but not Veronica!

She personally saw Morgan take Ellinor to the hotel this afternoon, how could it be as Ellinor claimed

Ellinor raised her eyebrows, “Veronica, you seem pretty sure I went to that hotel? Did you see it with

your own eyes? Were you at the hotel too?”

Confronted with the question, Veronica faltered, “I Why would I go to a hotel! I didn’t!”

She did see it, but she couldn’t confess, or she would expose herself!

“Ellinor, Veronica has always been spoiled by me, she’s stubborn! Don’t mind her. I’ll give her a good

telling off!” Marissa tried to mediate

One is her beloved daughter–in–law, the other is her cherished granddaughter. She loved them both

deeply. It was tough for the old lady. She gave Veronica a disappointed smack, “Veronica, you’re in the

wrong here, apologize to your sister–in–law right now!”

Veronica naturally didn’t want to apologize, but things were going beyond her control, she felt a bit lost.

Without solid evidence against Ellinor, Veronica had no choice but to heed her grandma’s words,

reluctantly saying, “Alright, I guess I was wrong today, I apologize!”

Ellinor looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept an insincere apology:

Veronica was extremely angry, exclaiming. “Ellinor, I’ve already apologized, what more do you want?

Don’t push it!”

“Veronica, you can’t be so disrespectful to your sister–in–law!” Marissa scolded sternly.

Veronica was defiant, discontentedly saying. She is fit to be my sister–in–law? I will never accept a

person from the countryside as my sister–in-law! She’s a lying schemer! Trying to latch onto my

brother!”

“Enough! No more disrespectful words!” Marissa was so angry she wanted to slap her, but she couldn’t

bring herself to do it, this was her own spoiled granddaughter after

all!

Veronica knew her grandma wouldn’t hit her, becoming even more arrogant, pointing at Ellinor and

yelling, “I’m speaking the truth! She is a country bumpkin!”

Marissa was speechless, “You..”

Ellinor, worried that Marissa would get angry, walked over and gently patted the old lady’s back,

“Grandma, don’t be mad, I won’t stoop to her level, but I won’t forgive her either.”
