The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 39

Amold started to believe his younger daughter, “Ellinor, is it really like you said? You’re not lying, are you?”

Ellinor looked sincere, “Dad, don’t worry. I would never do anything improper.”

Amold breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good then! Ellinor, you need to do well; otherwise, how can I face your mother?!”

Sheila was not pleased to see her father’s change in attitude towards Ellinor and came over to complain again, “Dad, even if Ellinor didn’t go to work as a hostess, her current job isn’t any better! I didn’t want to say it at first, afraid you’d be angry if you knew, but seeing. Ellinor so unambitious, as her older sister, I have to speak out! Dad, Ellinor has gone to work as a maid for a rich family, the landlord she just mentioned is actually her employer!”

“What?” Arnold frowned, looking at Ellinor discontentedly, “Is this true, Ellinor? You’re working as a maid?”

“Well, kind of… yes!” Ellinor thought she was enslaved by Theo to pretend to be his wife for three months, constantly accommodating him, which was similar to being a maid.

Amold said with frustration, “You gave up a good job at Nexus Industries to become a maid? What were you thinking?!”

Before Ellinor could speak, Sheila interjected, “Dad, Ellinor was fired from Nexus Industries! Ah, who knows what she did wrong to get fired?!”

Arnold’s eyes were filled with disappointment again, “Ellinor, when will you ever stop causing trouble? Fine, I don’t want to meddle anymore. If you want to be a maid, be a maid; just don’t go around saying

you’re my daughter. I can’t afford to lose face!”

Ellinor remained calm, “Dad, the thing is, my graduation thesis is about the development of the housekeeping industry, so I wanted to gain firsthand experience. Besides, I don’t think there’s anything shameful about having a legitimate job.

Arnold was taken aback, feeling that his younger daughter made a fair point. His displeased look softened, “I see!”

Ellinor nodded, very obediently saying, “Dad, you don’t need to worry about my graduation thesis, but you really need to talk some sense into my sister!”

Amold frowned in confusion, “……What’s wrong with your sister?”

Sheila also looked puzzled, “Talk to me? Ellinor, what do you mean? What should Dad talk to me about?”

Ellinor looked at Sheila and sighed, “Sis, the entertainment industry is very complicated. You’ve been struggling there alone for years; you should’ve told us if you were being bullied, why suffer alone?”

Sheila was at a loss, “Ellinor, what the hell are you talking about?!”

Ellinor took out her phone, opened the trending news on Twitter, and handed it to Arnold, “Dad, I really can’t explain my sister’s situation to you; you’ll see.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Arnold took the phone in confusion; his eyes widened instantly and were filled with rage. He looked up at Sheila angrily, “You disgrace, how could you do something like this?!”

Sheila was a bit stunned, asking in confusion, “Dad, why are you scolding me?”

Arnold’s scolding her was no surprise; he even wished he could deal with this eye–catching daughter right away, “You dare to ask me, don’t you know what you’ve done?!”

“I… I didn’t do anything!” Sheila was both panicked and confused, “Ellinor, what did you show Dad?”

Ellinor blinked, quietly watching her, “Sis, didn’t you know? You’re the hot topic of the day, and you’re the top one on the trending list.”
