Chapter 9 What is That

Book:The Reborn Wife Published:2024-5-1

What would make you dizzy, body heat up and feel strange after drinking it?
Henry’ attention was now on Ava. He was almost fifty and would he not know what Elena drank? But why did his second daughter give it to his youngest daughter?
Ava was full of guilt, she shook her head, “Father, I didn’t drug Elena, how could I…”
Elena blinked those big round eyes and stared at her accusingly, “Second sister, what’s the meaning of drugged? What… what did you drug me with?”
She was only eighteen and it was easy to pretend that she didn’t know what was happening.
Elena certainly acted very convincingly!
“Ava! What did you let her drink?” Henry frowned angrily.
If his second daughter really did anything stupid to sabotage Elena and Master Williams’s engagement, he won’t let her off easily!
“Father, how could I hurt Elena? That silly girl must have drunk something she shouldn’t have and afraid that she’ll be punished by father. That’s why she is putting the blame on me.”
Ava could really act with her eyes misting up.
“Dad, I’m your daughter. You should be aware of what kind of person I am.”
Grace interjected, “Henry, our Ava is well known in Bentson City, do you think she can do that to her sister?”
“Furthermore, Elena has always misbehaved. You now choose to listen to Elena’s nonsense and blame our daughter who not only excelled in her studies but is always so filial.”
Ava has always been serious in her studies and obedient to her parents. Whether it was helping others or school work, it has always been top marks.
When she was eighteen, she participated in several social events in Bentson City and promptly became known as the most popular socialite in Bentson City. Firstly, she was indeed beautiful and secondly, she was talented. She played the piano well, danced well, every action of hers was in perfection.
Henry looked again at Elena who was still standing at the stairs and he was puzzled.
She does look good now but she has always been a delinquent. She doesn’t like to study, she smokes and drinks, likes to makeup heavily, flirt, run away from home, lots of problems.
These can’t be saved by an innocent perfect face.
At last, Henry said, “Elena, your sister couldn’t have given you something nasty to drink, I’m afraid… this is a misunderstanding.”
Elena laughed coldly without a hint of warmth.
She smokes, she only smoked once in her life. That was at the insistence of Ava saying that it was fun. So she tried once. Just that once she was photographed smoking with heavy makeup with a few beer bottles beside her. Somehow that photo went viral on the internet.
She was an idiot in her previous life, she admits, that she has never suspected Ava.
“Of course, I know that it’s a misunderstanding, how can I suspect that second sister will harm me? When second sister taught me to smoke, she helped me to hide it from father.”
She blinked and laughed like a fool, “If it wasn’t for second sister, father, you would have had discovered it at once.”
“What did you say?” Henry stared at Ava.
“Father, I.. how would I…” Damn that Elena, is she doing all these on purpose tonight? How could she have such a big transformation?
Was it a slip of the tongue or on purpose? Was she mistaken? She felt that Elena was a changed person tonight.
“Henry, Ava hates the smell of cigarettes. You know that. Do you think that she’ll teach Elena how to smoke?”
Grace wanted so much to slap Elena. Previously Elena was dumb as a post, she didn’t even know how to string a sentence properly. But now, her words are sharp while appearing to be innocent. Every sentence was drawing blood, it looks like she’s a different person.
Henry doesn’t know what to believe. Tonight, his youngest daughter had a huge change and he is still stunned. But the most important is the engagement ceremony was canceled and he was afraid that Michael doesn’t want Elena anymore, what’s he going to do about it?
Suddenly, Grace raised her eyebrow and dashed upstairs towards Elena, “What’s that on your neck?”
