Chapter 987
Xenia was stunned, “Dad, are you saying Patri and I should move to the countryside?”
Dean stated firmly, “Yes! That’s exactly what I mean. Pack your bags right now, I’ll have someone take you there
immediately”
Xenia couldn’t accept this decision, she practically collapsed onto the floor, “Why? Dad, are you seriously kicking us
out just because of Ellinor, a stranger?”
Dean looked at her with disgust and replied, “Patri is already under your influence, I won’t let Byran be influenced
by you too! You both should go to the countryside, so Byran won’t be affected by you!”
Xenia started crying pitifully, “Dad! You can’t treat me like this! I’m McNeil’s wife, how could you send me to live in
the countryside? People will laugh.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDean’s mind was made up, he wasn’t budging.
Alyssa agreed with this arrangement too, Patricia was already influenced by Xenia, Byran was still innocent, and
they couldn’t let Byran be influenced by Xenia too.
When Xenia saw that her pleas to Dean were ineffective, she knelt and crawled over to McNeil, who was sitting on a
sofa on the other side. She collapsed onto his legs for help, “McNeil, you’ve got to stand up for us, your wife and
daughter! You can’t let Dad send Patri and me to the countryside!”
McNeil looked at her with no expression, calmly asking her, “Do you admit to what you and your daughter have
done?”
Xenia’s eyes were blurry with tears, she hesitated, “McNeil, Patri and I really didn’t do anything! How could you trust
a stranger more than your own wife and daughter?”
“Didn’t do anything?” McNeil frowned, “Wasn’t it you who taught your daughter to bring that mother and daughter
to slander Ellinor?”
Xenia was getting a bit anxious, “Yes, it was Patri who found that mother and daughter… but Patri only wanted to
help them get justice after hearing their complaints! Besides, the results of today’s test might not be fair, I think
Ellinor might have cheated again, she might have bribed the teacher who marked the papers.”
A flash of disgust crossed McNeil’s eyes, “That teacher who marked the papers is an old friend of my father’s; he is
now a professor. He participated in marking the papers out of respect for my father. Do you think he lacks money
and can be easily bribed?
Moreover, the test was conducted under the watchful eyes of many media and cameras. Both sides had the same
questions, and Rosie’s team didn’t get a single question right, all of this was recorded by the cameras! How could
Ellinor have cheated? Did she suck all the knowledge out of Rosie’s brain?”
Xenia was left speechless, her face growing more and more unpleasant, but she still maintained a look of great
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrievance, “Uh… it was that mother and daughter who deceived Patri and me. They tried to exploit our kindness,
using us to confront Ellinor. McNeil, this shows that Patri and I are also victims who were used!”
After listening to her explanation, McNeil coldly removed Xenia’s hand from his leg, then gently smoothed out the
wrinkles on his trousers. His movements were light and casual, revealing his complete disgust.
“Enough, stop playing the victim in front of me! The more you do this, the more desperate you appear! Dad’s
current arrangement is excellent; you should
a the take Patri to the countryside and reflect properly!”
Xenia, with tears in her eyes, resentfully said, “McNeil, how can you bear to see Patri and me live a hard life in the
countryside? Especially when Patri is now taking care of an adopted child, it’s totally inconvenient to live in the
countryside!”
McNeil replied, “Dad just asked you to live in the holiday villa in the countryside. You’ve been there before, it’s fully
equipped with servants to take care of you, so there’s nothing inconvenient. He didn’t say you have to go to the
countryside to be punished.”
