“Elena is home? What’s going on? Get her to come down immediately!”
As he arrived home, Henry stomped his feet in anger when he heard that Elena was upstairs in her room. He thought that his little daughter had met with an accident or at least was with Master Williams but she, why did she come home alone? Does she intend to abandon her marriage?
This good for nothing! She isn’t even that pretty and yet Master Williams was willing to marry her, how can she be so useless! If she offends Master Williams, how will the Garcia family survive in Bentson City? She’s going to drag all of us down.
His wife Grace glared at the maid and shouted, “Hurry and get Elena down!”
“Yes, Madam!” The maid rushed upstairs.
Ava walked briskly into the house and also heard that Elena is home. She looked at Grace and Grace nodded. Ava rushed over to Henry who is now furious, she said softly, “Dad, you have high blood pressure. Don’t get overly agitated, it’s not good for your health.
How could Henry calm down?
“Elena ran away from her engagement, how are we going to explain to Master Williams?”
“Dad, it was Grandmother Williams’s wish that our family is bound by marriage. What happened tonight, I’m afraid, afraid that Master Williams won’t marry Elena anymore.”
Ava lowered her voice further, “If our families are not bound by marriage, Grandmother Williams will definitely be very upset. We really can’t allow this marriage to be cancelled.”
Henry replied hopelessly, “As you said, Master Williams will not want this fool Elena anymore. How can we salvage this engagement?”
“How about…” Ava started to blush, some words shouldn’t be said by her, a well-known socialite in Bentson City.
Grace of course knew what her daughter meant and continued, “Originally, it was the wish of Grandmother Williams to bind the Williams and Garcia families in marriage, but it appears to me that Master Williams isn’t that fond of Elena.”
“What do you mean?” Henry seems to sense an opportunity.
Grace said immediately, “If we were to change another daughter of the Garcia family, someone who is far prettier and talented, perhaps Master Williams will approve …”
“Oh yes, in this case second sister will take my place and become the fiancée of Master Williams.”
Elena was coming down the stairs and leaned over the banister, laughed as she looked at Ava, “But second sister, aren’t you already with Williams family’s second son, Henry Williams?”
“You… don’t you talk nonsense. It’s Henry who is chasing me but I have not agreed.” Ava raised her head and looked clearly at Elena’s face, and was shocked, “Elena, you… why don’t you have any make up on? You…”
Grace was also surprised to see that Elena’s face was clean. How can this girl reveal her face without any makeup?
“It’s already so late, why do I have to make up if I was about to go to bed?”
Elena smiled slyly and stared at Ava, pretending to be naive.
“Second sister, you taught me how to make up and said that a lady cannot be seen without make up. But now I realize that I look even better without make up!”
Henry was stupefied. Normally Elena likes to makeup heavily, but … but now she actually looks so pretty without makeup!
Ava’s heart sank on seeing her father’s expression. She could only force out a laugh. “No, no, it was Elena who always wants to make up. When did I say something like that?”
Once she finished, she changed the topic, “Elena, what happened tonight? Where did you go? Why didn’t you turn up at the engagement ceremony?”
She was still that compassionate and gentle sister in front of Elena. With that concerned expression, she definitely acted very well in the role of a sister.
Elena laughed coldly within, in her previous life, it was this lying Ava who caused her a life of misery. She even caused the death of Henry Williams.
Today, the heavens gave her another chance to relive this life. She’ll waste her reincarnation If she doesn’t deal properly with this sister.
Elena flashed her eyes at her sister and said, “Second sister, I’m not sure why I became dizzy and my whole body heated up after drinking what you gave me.”
She rubbed her temples to show that she has not fully recovered.
“I was afraid that I’ll make a fool of myself and hurried home for a cold shower. I’m still feeling rather uncomfortable.”
She looked towards Ava and while her eyes betray a hint of a smile, that innocent face of hers acted as if she didn’t know what was going on.
“Second sister, what did you let me drink? Why did my body feel so strange?”
