Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 400

"Mom, we've arrived," Daniel responded.

Edward spoke sarcastically, "Daniel, all of us have been waiting just for your family!"

Seeing her father being targeted, Elena immediately said, "Uncle Edward is right. Our family lives far away. We left the Whelan estate over ten years ago, so we really can't compare to you and Third Uncle who live close by."

Elena's words were a reminder of how Daniel's family had been kicked out back then.

"It's better for the children not to interrupt when adults are speaking." Aunt Maggie glared at Elena.

Seeing this, Mrs. Carter smoothed things over. "We haven't come to see Auntie in years. Auntie, your house is full of children and grandchildren! The grandkids are all successful!"

The old lady laughed and said, "Since you and Robert came this time, stay a bit longer. I'm old now, and dragging such a big family along, my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. Don't look at how many descendants there are; they need to be successful to count! The unsuccessful ones really give me a headache. I can't control them, and they don't even put me in their eyes anymore!"

The old lady's words made it sound like she was being bullied.

Robert Carter immediately said, "Auntie, what are you saying? Look at how hard the children work. Especially Jane—she's a secretary for Sean at Aurelis Holdings Group now. Her future is limitless!"

Being praised, Jane lowered her head shyly.

The old lady sighed. "Nowadays, the one I worry about least in the family is Jane. Jane has been obedient since she was young, and she's competent too."

The Third branch felt their faces swell with pride. The Third Uncle and Aunt straightened their backs.

"How boring," Elena muttered softly.

Claire nudged Elena, signaling her to keep it down so people wouldn't hear.

Justin looked toward Claire, and their eyes met for a moment.

Seeing this, Justin walked over to his mother.

"Mom, aren't we discussing my engagement today? Why are you guys talking about all this?"

Mrs. Carter smiled. "Son, we are going to set the engagement. I'll talk to your Great-Aunt right now."
