"Where did you find the confidence to show up here? Who do you think you are? Some big shot? What a joke!" Elaine said sarcastically. Infuriated, Yelena yelled, "I'm your mother! I gave you life, so what's wrong with you listening to me? I'm not even asking you to give me your life back! I just want you to heed my advice! Why can't you just listen to me, you ungrateful child? I can't believe you would treat your own mother like this! You're nothing but a heartless troublemaker for all of us!" "You gave birth to me without my consent, and you didn't protect me like you should have. As a result, I was taken away and suffered all by myself out there. Now that you've found me, you tricked me into coming back by promising to make it up to me. However, all you did was mistreat me after I returned. You should be glad I didn't seek revenge on you. Don't expect me to listen to you!" Elaine replied with a sneer. "It wasn't my fault that you were taken away! You can't blame me for that! As for how I treated you after you returned, it's because you're always bullying Miranda! As your elders, we had no choice but to reprimand you. How could you hold a grudge against us for that? Your father and I only lectured you because we love you. It's for your own good! That's why we don't lecture anyone else! We want you to change for the better! I don't blame you for not understanding our reasons, though. All I ask is for you to come home with us and be a good girl. I promise I'll treat you well from now on," Yelena explained. Elaine burst out laughing when she heard Yelena's shameless statement. "Thanks, but you should reserve that kindness of yours for someone else. I will never return to the Grant family unless..." Yelena's eyes lit up the moment she heard that. "Unless what? What will it take for you to come home with us? Your father and I will try our best to fulfill your request!" As long as Elaine comes home with us, we'll be able to lock her up and discipline her until she forgives Miranda and Gavin. Until then, I can't afford to threaten her. "Unless everyone in the Grant family is dead. Then, I'll consider going home to inherit all of your assets." Yelena clenched her fists tightly as she yelled, "You... How could you be so heartless?" Frederick scolded Yelena, "Our daughter is like this because of your terrible genes! All three of our sons are obedient and mature like me." Yelena lowered her head in shame and kept quiet. Elaine rolled her eyes in response. "You idiot." Frederick was just about to yell at her when a police officer came up to them and said, "We're done interrogating Gavin. He confirmed Miranda's murder and confessed to covering up for her, so we'll be detaining him. Miranda is a little stubborn, but her statements don't match at all. On top of that, she had admitted to murdering someone on camera before, so we'll be detaining her for further interrogation. We will charge her in court once we get results from the interrogation, but that will take some time. We'll inform you all if we have any updates, so you can all go home now."Frederick's eyes widened with anger when he heard that. "That unfilial piece of sh*t! How could he accuse Miranda of murder? Miranda only accidentally shoved Elaine off a cliff because she was in shock! She didn't do it on purpose! It counts as unintentional harm at most!" Elaine couldn't be bothered to argue with them, so she simply snorted in disdain and left the police station. Unable to stand it anymore, Jonas exclaimed when they reached the door, "Elaine, your family is unbelievable! They're so caught up playing favorites that they've lost their minds! I got all worked up just hearing what they said! I would've beaten them up if we weren't at a police station!" "I, too, think they're not right in the head. Elaine was the one who got hurt, but none of them cared to even ask about her injuries. They believe that Miranda is kind even though she pushed Elaine off a cliff, but they call Elaine heartless even though she nearly died. What is wrong with them?" Sean said. "Did Miranda save their lives in the past or something? Why are they so protective of her? Not only did they care more about an adopted daughter than a biological one, but they also kept humiliating the latter! This is simply inhumane!" Felix exclaimed. They were all very angry at the Grant family. Elaine's expression was incredibly gloomy. She, too, wanted to know how Miranda had brainwashed the Grant family to such ridiculous extents.They were so protective of her even though they had seen Miranda's true self. Theodore had a pained look in his eyes as he looked at Elaine. "Have they always treated you like that while you were staying with them?" he asked. Elaine shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "More or less, but I no longer care how they treat me." "That's fine. You don't need to have such people as your family. You'll find someone who genuinely loves you for who you are." "I need to make a trip to Aquamount Entertainment to cancel the contract," she said while checking the time. Theodore nodded. "All right; I'll go with you." Jonas chimed in with a smile. "Me too! Yoel and I used to be rivals, but no one in this industry dared work with him after what happened with Miranda. Everyone who signed up with his company has turned to mine. I want to go taunt him!" Elaine didn't mind them tagging along as it wouldn't be her that they laughed at. Elaine contacted the lawyer who helped her notarize the contract and headed over to Aquamount Entertainment with the contract in hand. Yoel had his men bring Elaine into the conference room before showing up much later. The look on his face turned gloomy the moment he saw the six people inside.Not only was Theodore a rival of Grant Group, but he even marched right into the company and became a thorn in the Grant family's side. Yoel had been wishing for Theodore to die ever since Elaine sold Grant Group's shares to him. Jonas, too, was a rival of Grant Group. He owned an entertainment company as well and had often competed with Grant Group for resources. Sometimes, his company would even steal some of Grant Group's celebrities and executives, so they were not on good terms either. Although Sean and Felix had no conflicts with the Grant family, they were friends with Theodore and Jonas, so they also disliked the Grant family. Yoel entered the conference room with a displeased expression and scanned the crowd before shifting his gaze towards Elaine. He had mixed feelings towards her. His heart began to waver when he discovered that Miranda was picking on Elaine, but when the netizens supported Elaine and started attacking the Grant family as well as Grant Group, it had such a strong impact on him that he began to despise Elaine completely. Most of Grant Group's businesses were negatively affected, especially the entertainment company. The entertainment company was hit so hard that it almost faced destruction, as all of its celebrities came under fire from the netizens. The netizens not only boycotted Miranda, but also the works of other celebrities under the company.Some of the celebrities were ambushed by angry netizens while attending events, causing chaos. Most of the partners terminated their contracts and demanded compensation for the losses incurred. As a result, some of the celebrities who were still filming shows were also removed from their roles. Various brands sent notices to their ambassadors, requesting the termination of their contracts as well. All of the company's operations came to a halt, and it faced the risk of bankruptcy if the crisis was not resolved in time. However, resolving such a massive crisis would require a miracle. This is all Elaine's fault! “Why did you bring so many people with you? What we're about to discuss is highly confidential because it involves the company's internal operations. Outsiders are not allowed to be present.” “She's just here to terminate her contract. It's not a big secret, so why can't we be here? You're not trying to kick us out so you can threaten Elaine in private, are you?” Jonas said sarcastically. Yoel's expression instantly changed. He glared coldly at Jonas and said, “Elaine is my sister, why would I threaten her?” Elaine corrected him nonchalantly, “I warned you guys the day I cut ties with the Grant family. I told you to stop getting involved with me because I'm no longer your sister.”“You may not acknowledge it, but that doesn't change the fact that we share the same blood!” Yoel retorted with a gloomy expression. Elaine kicked a chair over, causing it to hit Yoel's leg. His face twisted in pain as he clutched his leg and yelped, “Ouch!” “Do I have to lose my temper to make you behave? I'll make you bleed if you agitate me again! Let's see if we really do share the same blood!” Elaine said impatiently. Yoel's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he trembled from the intense pain. Hearing Elaine's words angered him so much that he felt like he was about to have a stroke. She has gone too far! I'm her brother! How could she treat me like this? She has not only lost her kindness, but she has also lost her humanity!
