Alora, however, shook her head in confusion. "Grandma, I have no idea what Elaine is talking about." Maya instantly felt more confident and glared at Elaine. "How dare you lie to me! You're rotten to the core! How could our family produce someone as worthless as you?" "Mom!" Rebecca jumped to her feet. "You've gone too far! Apologize to Elaine right now!" Da*n it! What kind of grandmother talks to her granddaughter like this? This was too much, and Rebecca had reached her limit. Even if it meant being seen as a bad daughter-in-law, she wasn't going to stand by and let anyone, not even Maya, bully her daughter. "You want me to apologize to Elaine?" Maya looked at Rebecca in shock. In this household, even Leon, the head of the family, usually deferred to her. Rebecca must have lost her mind. Before Elaine returned, the family was peaceful, and everyone got along. But now, everything was in chaos. Maya was convinced that Elaine had to leave the house. Rebecca's tone was firm. "Yes, I want you to apologize to Elaine!" Maya was incredulous. "You must be out of your mind! Has Elaine bewitched you?" Rebecca replied, "I'm perfectly clear-headed! I won't allow anyone to bully my daughter! Not even you! You've gone way too far today! I demand you apologize to Elaine right now!" The old lady remained silent. "Old Mrs. Curran, if I'm not lying, will you apologize to me?" Elaine's eyes were cold as she held onto Rebecca's hand.Rebecca was so furious her hands were trembling. If it were anyone else insulting her daughter like this, she wouldn't have cared about manners and would have slapped them right then and there. But because Maya was an elder, Rebecca only demanded an apology. That was her bottom line. "Fine!" Maya, completely trusting her obedient granddaughter Alora, nodded without a second thought. "Grandma ... " For some reason, Alora suddenly felt uneasy. But on second thought, she reassured herself—there was no way Elaine had any proof, so she had nothing to fear. Pretending to be concerned, Alora tugged at Maya's arm. "Grandma, don't make a bet. You're the elder, and if you offer an apology as the wager, what could Elaine, as the younger one, possibly put up in return? Let's not bet, okay?"With just a few words, Alora reminded Maya that Elaine hadn't placed a wager yet. Maya immediately caught on and fixed her gaze on Elaine. "If I'm lying, I'll leave this house for good!" Before Maya could say anything, Elaine coldly spoke up. "Good!" Maya's eyes lit up with excitement. She had been waiting for Elaine to say just that. This foolish girl, could she be the Currans' daughter? "Alora, are you satisfied with this wager?" Elaine's sharp gaze turned to Alora. Alora, hearing this, felt her heart pounding with joy. This was perfect! Elaine was about to be kicked out of the Curran family! Everything here would be hers! Her parents would still love her the most, and Terry would be hers too! But when Elaine suddenly directed her words at her, Alora quickly put on an innocent face. "Elaine, don't do this. I already told you and Grandma not to bet." "Elaine, don't—" Rebecca tried to intervene. She didn't mind the bet, but she couldn't accept it involving Elaine's place in the Curran family. "Elaine, prove to me that you weren't lying!" Maya, eager to seal the deal before Elaine could change her mind, interrupted Rebecca mid-sentence.
