The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 142

“Dad, I’m home!”

No sooner had Ellinor spoken, Tracy, her stepmother, rushed over and stopped her at the entrance, feigning concern “Ellinor, maybe you shouldn’t go in just yet. Your dad is pretty licked off at you!”

Ellinor responded calmly. “Auntie Tracy, what’s going on? Why’s Dad mad?”

Tracy raised her voice on purpose. “You upset your sister’s new movie investor yesterday, and your dad knows all about it! Ellinor, I think it’s better if you don’t come home for the time being. Auntie Tracy is just looking out for you I’m worried your dad might go ballistic!”

Ellinor quietly watched Tracy’s act without a word. If this old woman really cared about her, she could’ve called in advance to warn her not to come home, instead of waiting for her to walk through the door to say these hypocritical words.
