"Alright!" Ellinor agreed with gusto.
She then turned to the puzzled maid beside her, instructing her to round up Devin and all the household staff.
The maid quickly got the picture and nodded, hustling off to do as she was told.
Before long, Devin, along with all the Blanchet family's staff, gathered in the living room.
Ellinor announced gravely, "Let me introduce you to Sheila. She's the gal Mr. Blanchet originally planned to marry and your rightful mistress. The two folks beside her are her parents."
The staff, Devin included, looked stunned. They all wondered if Ellinor was pulling their leg.
Ellinor was dead serious.
"Alright, you guys better start serving your mistress. I'm going to pack my bags and clear out for the real Mrs. Blanchet!"
Upon hearing this, Sheila felt incredibly smug. Those servants who had just ignored her commands now know who she really is, don't they?
Devin looked a bit lost, trailing after Ellinor upstairs. "Mrs. Blanchet, what on earth is going on?"
Ellinor waved him off, "Devin, just focus on treating them well. We'll deal with the rest when Mr. Blanchet gets back."
"...Alright."
After announcing she would pack her things, Ellinor never came back downstairs.
