Chapter 788 Elbert lowered his voice and whispered. âMy dadâs generation, there were actually four kids, one was a love childâ
What a hot mess the Pine family is.
Eleanor was a bit annoyed inside, but still feigned shock, âSo your grandpa was quite the clever one, only had four kids It sounded like she was throwing shade at his grandpa, but Elbert didnât quite catch on, and continued whispering âThat love child did something to hurt the Pine family, so my grandpa kicked her out. She was originally the second daughter of the Pine familyâ
Eleanor wasnât too familiar with the family rankings, so she asked out of curiosity. âSo whoâs the second now?â
Elbert provided the family hierarchy, stating âWendy Pine is the eldest, Tammie Pine is the second, Vanya Pine is the third, and my father, Sheldon Pine, is the youngest With Tammieâs departure, Vanya now assumes the position of the second daughter.â
Realizing that Emiliaâs motherâs name was Vanya, Eleanor wondered if Emiliaâs company, named after Vanya, served as a tribute to her Curiosity piqued, Eleanor leaned in closer to Elbert, urging him to share the additional information he had mentioned With a hint of mystery. Elbert revealed, âWhen I was a child, I overheard something while eavesdropping on my grandparents. Among my dadâs three sisters, one of them isnât actually a Pine One of them isnât a Pine? Could it be that Vanya wasnât a Pine, and thatâs why Elbertâs grandparents didnât like her?
Eleanor wanted to ask for clarification, but was afraid of arousing Elbertâs suspicion. He already thought she looked like Vanya, better not give too much away, lest he finds out that sheâs the baby Emilia lost when she was a kid. Let them stay in the dark.
âWell, now Iâve told you all my family secrets, is it my turn to take a picture?â
Elbert slammed the table, jolting Eleanor out of her thoughts She composed herself, gave Elbert a sidelong glance âNo way!â With that, she got up and left.
âHey, wait!â
Elbert chased after her and stopped Eleanor âIâve told you such important secrets of my family, at least let me take a picture.â
âAfter I send it to my dad and get a confirmation, Iâll leave you alone, okay?â
Eleanor looked up at this man who was significantly taller than her, and shook her head firmly âNo way, my face is too precious for you to photograph.â
Elbert clenched his teeth in frustration but held back his anger âName your price for a picture, Iâll payâ
Seeing his persistence, Eleanor raised an eyebrow slightly.
âTo tell you the truth, Iâve had plastic surgery, I didnât always look like this.â
âHmm?â
Elbert looked as if heâd been struck by lightning and reached out to touch Eleanorâs face to confirm if sheâd really had plastic surgery.
But Eleanor slapped his hand away. Tve told you my face is valuable, donât touch it randomly, what if my nose collapses?â
Elbert was speechless.
So his persistent suspicion that she was Vanyaâs dead child was just him being overly idle?
Eleanor took out her phone, found an extremely unattractive picture, and showed it to Elbert.
âSee, this was me before!â
Looking at the pockmarked, mole covered face on the phone screen, Elbert nearly vomited.
*Thatâs disgusting, put it away, put it away.â
Eleanor finally put away her phone, raised her hand, and patted Elbertâs shoulder seriously.
âSo, thereâs no way I could look like your aunt. I just admired Emilia and had my surgery to look like her. Maybe after the surgery. I looked more like Emilia, thatâs why you find me familial â

ï¤Chapter 1765 (END)
After Eleanorâs words completely dispelled Elbertâs doubts, she gripped her phone and turned to leave.
Leaning against the door and retching, Elbert took a while to recover.
Heâd never seen Lomeone so ugly in his life!
So ugly that it was unbearable, she really should have had plastic surgery to avoid scaring people But...
Elbert looked in the direction Eleanor left, and felt something was off Bernard would never marry a woman whoâs had plastic surgery. Eleanor must be lying to him!
No, he had to get his dad over here to see for himself, then everything would be clear However, before he could carry out his plan, Eleanor, who had just left the kitchen, immediately called Aidyn over âAjdyn, Elbert disguised himself as a chef and snuck into the kitchen, kick him off the boatâ
Belpre Elbert had a chance to call his dad to come over, a bunch of burly bodyguards stormed into the kitchen and literally threw him off the boat.
