Although I also want my sister to come back, we know for a fact that she died. I wonder if the sudden appearance of this woman claiming to be my sister could be a fraud.” “You shut up! My heart clearly knows whether she’s the real Yoyo or not!” Jeanie released Elise before tightly holding her hand again. In a stubborn manner, she said, “Elise is Yoyo, and Yoyo is Elise. She is my daughter!” Being yelled at had caused Faye to be taken aback and momentary ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, but soon disappeared again. Then, she said quietly, “Mother, the Anderson Family has to decide if she is Yoyo.
It’s not up to you alone!” Elise inexplicably felt annoyed. “It’s not up to you either.” “Please leave, Miss Anderson.” Alexander immediately said. “This is a private place and a small one at that. We can’t accommodate this many people for now.” An exasperated Faye glanced at the bodyguards crowded all over the courtyard, knowing that she couldn’t touch them, so she had to leave. As soon as she and her companions left, the bodyguards also withdrew. Soon, everyone returned to the main hall and sat down where Elise then explained why there were two DNA identification reports.
“What a load of balderdash!” Robin was so angry that he hit the table. “What, do they think that Elise cares about that tiny bit of assets the Anderson Family own?” All those present did not dare to answer. Joshua and his wife weren’t happy as they thought that if Elise didn’t return to the Anderson Family to fight for the family assets, could she be waiting to inherit the Sinclairs’ family assets instead? After all, they did not agree to this. Elise was just a foster daughter, and there were no blood ties between her and the Sinclair Family, so why should she have a share of their family assets?
Of course, the couple did not dare to voice those words aloud, but only quietly made plans in their hearts. As for Jeanie, she kept grabbing Elise, afraid that Elise would disappear again. It was only after a long time that she made up her mind and said, “No, Yoyo, you must fight for it. Everything in the Anderson Family was originally yours to begin with!” Her illness seemed to have suddenly gotten better and she analyzed the situation seriously. “Faye does not have good intentions and the Anderson Family has long since become warped in her hands over the years.
Only when my Yoyo returns can the Anderson Family revive.” Elise stoically listened, as if what Jeanie had said was someone else’s business and had nothing to do with her. In the room full of people, everyone had their own preoccupations. Robin and Laura were still reluctant to let Elise go. Suddenly, Alexander posed a rather inappropriate question. “Mrs. Anderson, please clarify to me this: are you telling Elise to go back because you sincerely miss your daughter, or do you simply need her as a tool to fight for power and benefits?” His expression darkened as a rare trace of anger surfaced on his face. When it came to Elise, he would cast all his values aside and only cared about her.
Hearing that suddenly caused Jeanie to freeze. It was a long time before she reacted and repeatedly apologized to Elise. “Yoyo, I did not mean that. I just felt that I’ve owed you too much and want to give you all those things. I’m not fighting for my benefit, I’m not…” she explained anxiously and was suddenly a weak woman with no opinion. She was as incoherent and panicked as a child who had done something wrong. “I know.” Elise covered the back of Jeanie’s hand with hers. She faintly reassured Jeanie, “I didn’t think that way.” “T-Then… Will you acknowledge m-me?”
Jeanie stammered. Things had happened so fast that she forgot to ask what Elise thought, and now that she reflected on it, she was indeed a bit disrespectful. “No matter what, I am your daughter. That is a fact.” Elise’s face was expressionless, making it impossible to distinguish her exact mood at the moment. “You can stay here in peace now.” She motionlessly pushed Jeanie’s hand away and casually found an excuse to leave. “I’ll go back to my room and rest for a while.” “Go on,” Laura responded. Elise nodded, and only then did she go back to the courtyard.
After she left, Robin sighed. “She can’t get over the news.” Laura gave him a look and nodded silently. However, Jeanie was fidgety. “Does E-Elise hate me?” “Give her some time,” he said. “I’ll go take a look,” Alexander offered as he got up to walk out. Outside the door of Elise’s room, he reached out and knocked twice. Knock knock. However, there was no response. He fell silent and thought for a while before he pushed the door open. In the room was Elise seated in front of the dressing table and staring at the mirror. Alexander walked over and stood behind her, his big hand gently resting on her shoulder. “Are you okay?” She ignored his words and instead looked at the mirror, muttering, “Who am I really?”
Elise or Yoona? Should I become a different person and live a different life? She couldn’t figure out how to transition between the Sinclair Family and the Anderson Family. He bent down and hugged her from behind. His cheek pressed against hers as he tried hard to warm her with his body. “You are Elise and you are also Yoona. Most importantly, you are my fiancée. You are you; your name is just a name. No matter what your name becomes tomorrow, you are always yourself.” “Maybe my name is more than enough to confuse you,” Elise said self-deprecatingly.
“What, am I so useless in your heart?” Alexander joked. Then, he became serious again. Looking at Elise’s reflection in the mirror, he said solemnly, “I will always recognize you, no matter what your name is. I will always remember you. Marry me, Elise. I want to have a family of our own with you.” “Aren’t we already engaged?” Elise asked. “I mean, let’s get married.”
His voice rose a bit, his gaze firm and sincere. Elise’s expression finally changed. Although she could see him in the mirror, she still turned and met his eyes. “You really want to marry me?” When he heard that, Alexander sighed and laughed. “When have I not wanted to?” “Maybe you will change your mind later.” “I am only afraid that you will change your mind, so let’s just get married, Elise. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”
