Chapter 9
Harlan stood there, shocked. “What do you mean?” he asked, confused.
Elaine went back to Floren Village? He couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that Elaine would go back to such a bleak place. He thought Shawn said that just to scare her.
After all, Elaine was their sister by blood, and there was no way they would actually send her back to that poor countryside with nothing to her
rame.
Harlan frowned, “Can you spell it out for me?”
“I mean it literally,” Cheryl replied. “I told you that eventually, you’d regret this. You have no right to call yourself Elaine’s brother after you guys called her a bitch.
“Since you can’t accept Elaine as your sister from the start, there’s no reason to keep pretending in the future. And you shouldn’t come to me either. 1 don’t want to speak to scum bags. Just leave”
With that, Cheryl turned and walked away
Harlan’s expression turned serious, He realized those harsh words were just about it, everyone seemed upset simply because Bianca felt disrespected.
+ their way
of letting off steam about Elaine, and now that he thought
He really didn’t think Elaine should take it personally.
Then, Harlan’s mood soured. Elaine had left for Floren Village, and he hurried home to tell his family the news.
He couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that Elaine was back in Floren Village. He never thought it would come to this because, no matter what, they were family.
Shawn was just as surprised by Elaine’s defiance this time.
“Mom, Elaine’s gone,” Harlan said
Tracy couldn’t believe it when she heard that Elaine had really returned to Floren Village. “No way! I know how Elaine is,” Tracy insisted. “You can’t talk to her. Let me handle it.
Shawn shook his head, “She’s already on the bus that left at 5:30,”
Tracy was momentarily stunned, overwhelmed by the whole situation. Maybe she’d gotten too used to Elaine always being submissive and figured: Elaine would just keep putting up with them.
But this time was different–Flaine wasn’t backing down, and her decision to go back to the countryside wasn’t just some childish stunt.
Before heading back to Floren Village, Elaine unexpectedly bumped into Bianca, who had come to see her off. As usual, Bianca radiated gentleness and understanding.
*Elaine, I’ll wait for you to return,” she said warmly
Elaine couldn’t help but smile a bit in response.
By the time Bianca made it back home, Tracy had pieced everything together. It was impossible to deny that Elaine’s departure had impacted her. However, she was starting to have second thoughts
w will be good The situation in Floren Village is worlds apart from what we have here. It’s super poor and lacking in comfort. Maybe this time away for her. Going from a life of luxury to simplicity is never easy, and living in that poor area might help her appreciate just how good her family has II. Once she sees that, I’ll find a way to bring her back,” “Tracy mused.
Tracy also had her own agenda: Blanca had a crush on Finley, but since she wasn’t a Yeats, the Scott family had outright rejected her. With Elaine away, this would be the perfect chance for Bianca and Finley to spend more time together–naturally, the Scott family wouldn’t have a problem with that

Chapter 9
Meanwhile, Elaine’s temporary retreat from showbiz had been a trending topic online. Grace was heartbroken when she saw the headlines about Elaine returning to the countryside.
“Flaine is just too stubborn. Why not break free if the Yeats family’s life is that terrible? Grace said.
Juana handed Grace a glass of milk with a smile. “What do you think she should do, Mrs. Morgan?”
Since the last time she saw Elaine, juana had also developed a fondness for her–a polite and kind girl, just as good as Bianca. It was a shame she had to deal with such a messy situation, with brothers and family like hers and a fiancé who wasn’t any better.
It seemed pretty excessive for so many people to be picking on a nineteen–year–old girl.
Grace chuckled and said. “If Elaine wants to become my granddaughter–in–law, you can bet Ed treat her way better than my own granddaughter!”
Juana laughed along “That
at would be perfect! We should just pop over one day, propose, and bring her back. I really think she and Kingsley are meant to be. Remember that day at the hospital when they whispered to each other? They looked like they were in their own little world. It’s like
fare!”
Grace loved what she was hearing and couldn’t help but imagine arranging a marriage for Elaine and Kingsley. She thought Elaine would be interested in joining the Morgan family, “Luckily, Elaine left me her address. I’m going to write her a letter and send some gifts.”
With that. Grace set her sights on getting a granddaughter–in–law. Kingsley noticed the back–and–forth between his grandma and Elaine but kept his thoughts to himself A weird feeling stirred in his heart but vanished just as quickly
After a couple of months, Elaine was living it up in Floren Village, enjoying her time away.
However, Tracy couldn’t take it anymore after those two months. She asked her sons to go check on Elaine and figure out why she hadn’t come home yet
Two months is lone mon
is long enough, she thought. “Time to end the drama”
Tucker and Trevon, who had been away from Boynton for a while, were a bit confused to hear that Elaine had returned to Floren Village right after being back in town.
Trevon teased, “Hey. Tucker, you don’t think Elaine’s an imposter, do you? Mom and Dad must’ve found out she’s not even part of the family, so now they’re kicking her out again. He couldn’t help but smirk
Tucker shrugged and said. “Who knows? It’s possible,”
As twins, they both had a bad impression of Elaine, thanks to her clashes with Bianca and some past misbehavior, and it made them less fond of
her overall
The only sister they’d ever really accepted was the sweet and kind Blanca. But now, thanks to Shawn’s orders, they had to head over to Floren Village and bring Elaine back home
Book Elf was feeling a bit down watching Elaine in the village, where she spent her time fishing, gardening, cooking, or mailing with Grace, At this rate, it wondered how Elaine was ever going to complete the main task and change her fate.
“Mrow-“A chubby cat jumped onto Elaine’s lap. Book Elf had transformed into this kitty and hung out with her every day.
“You brothers, Tucker and Trevon, have made it here. Do you know how to win them over? Book Elfasked.
Flaine raised an eyebrow and replied, “Why would I want to win them over?” Book EI looked at her in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Tucker and Trevon were still making their way into the village. The road was small and full of potholes, and they had never encountered anything like this before
Tervon shook his head. “I think Elaine’s lost it, coming back to this dump instead of staying in h her cozy
home
“Come on, stop whaning “Tucker fired back. He’d just had a long phone call with Harlan on the way, getting the scoop on

Harlan warned him to be careful, saying Elaine had been acting a bit off lately and that he was not sure what was going on
on with h
her
Just try not to be so rude when you see Elaine later,” Tucker added.
“Alright, I get in,” Trevon said, feeling a bit annoyed. “Since when did you guys start acting like such naggers? She’s just a girl. Do you really think of her as our sister?”
By the time the twins finally reached the pond, Elaine was knee–deep in fishing. Her small bucket was already filled with a few fish, and she clearly knew what she was doing.
“Hey, you’re fishing. Have you run out of food in this village?” Trevon teased. “It’s only been a few months since I’ve seen you, and you’re turning into Bianca‘ I’m afraid you’ll never be as good as her”
Bianca’s skills and abilities were hot topics for the seven brothers, who couldn’t stop comparing her to Elaine.
