"She wishes to see her sister's kin before she passes away. That's why we're here."
"It's her only wish in this world. Can you travel with me to G country? I promise to bring you back safe after you meet her."
Had Eleanor Shultz not seen the video left by her mother, she might have been moved by Elbert Pine's words. After all, she's an orphan who yearns to find her own family. But unfortunately, Eleanor already knows the truth...
Vanya was once kicked out of the Pine family, while Wendy, Robin's mother, married Vanya's ex-fiancé.
Not only was Evelyn Ziegler involved in the scheme, Wendy was also cunning. How else could she have married into such a rich family so easily?
Wendy married Vanya's ex-fiancé guilt-free. But when Vanya came asking for help with her two children, she offered no assistance.
Decades later, they sent two brothers to find Eleanor, hoping to see the kin of their sister one last time. Who would dare to do such a thing?
Eleanor guessed that Elbert might not know the Spencer family's real intentions, and was just trying to persuade her out of goodwill. So she didn't blame him, just shot a cold glance at Robin.
"If you want me to go to G country, go ask my husband. If he agrees, I'll go."
Robin, who had thought Eleanor was a fool, now had to take a second look.
Pushing away the bodyguard's gun pointed at him, he took another step forward, leaning on the black railing.
"If you don't want to go, then I'll have to go find Blake, and talk to him about your past..."
Eleanor nervously looked at him, but still pretended not to care, smirking at Robin.
"Suit yourself."
After saying that, Eleanor quickly turned around, heading back to the castle.
She needed to call Bernard as soon as possible, to figure out what to do. After all, Bernard's grandfather had always denied her. If he found out she was related to the Pines...
She could ask for a DNA test to prove she's not from the Pine family. But that was risky. Who knows if the information Elbert provided was accurate?
If it was, she could use that as a reason to get rid of her Pine family identity, to fend off the Laurence family's hatred.
