Nathan was speechless as he stared at the pink girl's skirt. His face and ears had turned red from embarrassment. Even his eyes had turned round and wide as he stared in a daze. Was Tasha crazy? He would rather die by a swarm of poisonous bees than of embarrassment.Eleanor snorted loudly at the look on his face; it was priceless and she felt as though taking a picture of it for future sake."Did G.G ask you to play dress up?" She asked a mischievous grin on her lips. Eleanor turned to look at Cassie; she had a triumphant look on her face and so did Grandma Cindy. She instantly understood that it was entirely Cassie's and Grandma Cindy's plan to frustrate her poor soon.Nathan frowned when he saw how relaxed his mother was at the issue. How could she watch this happen to him!? His reputation was at stake for heaven's sake! He thought sadly.He had just opened his mouth to speak when…"Oh, Nathan, you will look so dashing in the dress. Just give it a try!" Grandma Cindy said teasingly

Eleanor sat down quietly in the back seat of the car as Cassie occupied the driver's seat.She was looking through some files as she nibbled on the cover of her pen; a habit that had become a part of her.Days back, she had requested the records of all ZerAndersons' current and past workers. So as Cassie drove, she looked through them.ZerAnderson was her greatest asset. Her mother's legacy and she would do anything it takes to keep it standing tall; even if it meant relieving the current workers and finding new and qualified ones."Cassie?" Eleanor called after some time."Yes, boss?""Please send some gifts to the Anderson family villa. Grandma's birthday is in a few days." She requested.Cassie nodded, making a mental note to do just as requested."Anything specific?" She asked."Nah! Just something Worthy" Eleanor responded and Cassie nodded.Cassie first drove to the school where she was applying for the kids to confirm its authenticity. She also got the hardcopy admission forms

Turns out the bastard wasn't far after all."Everything that we ever owned and are contending for belongs to Eleanor, mother! Are you so heartless!?" Penny screamed furiously.Precisely how thoughtless was this mother of hers?The previous night, before consideration of coming to face Alexander, she had snuck into the household study. There, she found many unexpected revelations.The manor, the red Empire, the imperial casino, the Sino bar, and all the other businesses that her parents were battling blades and utterances for belonged to Eleanor.Alexander was unexpectedly violent. He lifted his hand and was about to slap Penny, but Elaine was quick to hold him back."Patience, my love. Patience! You wouldn't want to ruin her twenty million and a collaboration face!" Elaine said and Alexander dropped his hand reluctantly.Penny, on the other hand, was confused. Twenty million and a collaboration face? What on Earth was that supposed to mean?Elaine turned to her daughter with a smile.

Penny broke into hard sobs and her body was now quivering under the impact of her tears."Mother and father always made me believe you were a bad person and..." She paused to sniffle. "I believed them. I always did what they said because I thought they were right. I've been a fool and I just realized it. I'm so sorry, Eleanor. Please forgive me!"Angered and yet confused, Eleanor's heart tightened in concern for the crying girl. Standing up, she tried pulling Penny by the shoulder."Stand up, Penny. I have no grudges against you at all." she whispered.That was the truth. She had never harboured any ill feelings against the girl. When Alexander had brought in his mistress and her child, she had actually disliked the child. Then it dawned on her that the child was not at fault, she didn't chose to be born to a cheating couple.Eleanor stopped hating on the girl and transferred her aggression to Elaine and Alexander. She had tried everything she could to become a big sister to the gulli

After breakfast, Penny went out to see a friend while Eleanor returned to her room. She thought she would go through some emails Jonathan had sent some days back before she leaves for the Anderson family villa.It was an hour to noon when Cassie walked into her room to remind her of her date with some guy.Cassie had pressured her some weeks back to give the guy a chance. Eleanor didn't even have an idea who the guy was, so, it was more of a blind lunch date.Eleanor frowned and whined as she closed her laptop. She swirled her chair to face Cassie who was rummaging through her closet, looking for 'God knows what'.Cassie hissed."You promised, El! A promise!" Cassie reminded.Eleanor bit her lips as realization hit her. She had made a promise and she wasn't going to break it. It was definitely not her style: breaking promises."Not like I'm gonna have to listen to anything he says, so..." She muttered under her breath but she knew that Cassie had heard her loud and clear.Cassie prete
