Chapter 560 Last Testimony

Thinking of making hay while the sun shone, Elise initially planned to continue with her livestream the

next day. However, the sudden early morning call from Austin interrupted her plan. In the phone call,

Austin had requested her to make a trip over to the Anderson Residence.

Austin was sitting on a sofa in the villa’s main hall, and standing behind the sofa was Faye.

Just then, Russell brought a group of old and pot-bellied men into the villa and gathered around a coffee

table. Austin had introduced these people to Elise before at the banquet that the Anderson Family had

thrown her as a sign of recognizing her as a member of the family. Thus, she knew exactly who they

were. These were the elders of the Anderson Family, and they had their foothold in any matters

regarding the family.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the main hall was tense and solemn, Elise knew conflicts were about to

take place at any moment. Needless to say, somebody from this family had once again organized such a

meeting to set her up. Seriously? Another trap? Why am I not surprised?

At first, she wanted to solve the matter at hand first and let Faye go for the time being. But since they

had shown their very presence in front of her, she wanted to see what schemes they had up their

sleeves.

“For what reason did you summon me over? Please cut straight to the point! I’m in a hurry,” Elise said,

neither overbearing nor self-effacing.

With his head tilted, Austin glanced at Elise. Then, he turned around and heaved out a heavy sigh, his

voice glazed with hidden anger. “You have committed a grave mistake yet dare act righteously here? Is

this how the two elders of the Sinclairs taught you about respecting others?”

“They raised me with all their heart and might. Say, Mr. Anderson, I wonder where you got the confidence

from to criticize their efforts.” Elise’s tone instantly became colder than ice.

People can talk sh*t about me, but I won’t let anyone talk sh*t about grandpa and grandma!

“I know! I know I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a father and educate you. It’s my fault for not teaching

you well!” Austin was heartbroken. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table loudly with agitation.

“But I didn’t teach you to mutilate your siblings and harm your kinfolks!”

“Heh…” Elise unknowingly sneered. Then, she said in a sarcastic manner, “Yeah, it’s true you never

taught me all those. But, that doesn’t mean you never taught others. Otherwise, how would Faye master

this knowledge fairly well?”

“Elise…” Faye felt wronged. “It’s alright if one makes a mistake and admits to it, but repeating the same

mistake is unforgivable. Stop being so hard-headed. Threatening us will only add to your sins! Father

and our uncles will still forgive you if you confess now!”

Upon seeing this, Elise merely crossed her arms in front of her chest. She stared at Faye’s dramatic act

with interest. Since you like acting so much, how about I send you over to Africa? You can sing and act

for the orphans who have lost their homes.

“Then tell me… What is it that I should confess about?” Elise said calmly.

“Here! See for yourself!” Austin suddenly got up and threw a piece of paper in front of Elise.

Enduring her temper, Elise bent over to pick up the piece of paper. Then, she raised her eyebrows

subconsciously as she saw the words ‘Last Testimony’ written on the paper and sneered, “Wow! What

poor penmanship.”

Upon hearing that, Austin closed his eyes in disappointment. “The person is dead, and all you can say is

that!? I’m truly disappointed in you!”

“Where did you get so much disappointment from?” Elise refuted lightly before continuing to read the

content in the paper.

One glance was enough for Elise to realize that it was a letter of accusation. The writer of this letter

‘accused’ her of plotting and framing Faye, making Faye wear a red dress. Not only did that humiliate

Faye in front of the Saunders Family, but it also almost became the ‘evidence’ of Faye being a murderer.

The content of the letter was as such: I swear on the lives of my entire family that everything I have

written is true. Mr. Anderson and Miss Faye have always been kind to me. But, I can’t believe I actually

did such unrighteous and unfaithful things toward them. I don’t deserve to continue living in this world. All

I hope for now is that the truth will be unveiled. Miss Faye is innocent, and I hope that the Anderson

Family will no longer be manipulated by such a scheming person. Sincerely, XX.

As she was reading, Elise thought to herself, No wonder Austin had such a big reaction. Well, it seems

like the person who left this suicide note in an attempt to frame me is already dead.

At that moment, Elise laughed sarcastically as she recalled the incident regarding Charlene back then.

Am I really that utterly charming? If not, then why would all these people be sacrificing themselves and

risking their lives just to bring me down?

Back then, it was just her friends who falsely accused her. However, today was different. Austin was her

biological father! Why isn’t anyone siding with me despite seeing that so-called irrefutable proof?

The thought of that sent a chill of disappointment down Elise’s spine. At that moment, she felt that the

world was ridiculous and hypocritical.

Then, Elise held up the suicide note. She looked at Austin and the elders of the Anderson Family with a

calm expression. “You’re going to convict me based on this mere letter?”

“Are you saying that the maid took her life in order to frame you? If that’s the case, Miss Yoona, perhaps

you should also reflect on yourself. Why would you be hated so much by all those you have come

across?”

Sitting in a corner of the hall, a man with a large head and big ears deliberately taunted.

Upon hearing that, Elise glared at him with an icy cold expression. The man immediately shrank his neck

again. Acting like a tortoise with a shriveled head, he cowardly avoided Elise’s icy glare.

“Yoona’s right. There’s something strange about this matter, and we can’t blindly believe that Yoona is at

fault. Perhaps, it’s an outsider who is deliberately using this incident to sow discord among us. After all,

the Anderson Family will soon cooperate with Smith Co., so I’m sure there are many others out there

who are green with envy.” Russell, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up to interrupt.

“But, we can’t pretend as if this never happened. I’m sure there must be a solution for this. If this matter

gets out of hand, it will definitely have an impact on the Anderson Family. Moreover, the servant is from

the countryside, and you all know how the people from the countryside act. Once they find out about the

suicide note, I’m afraid they won’t let Yoona go…”

Without a trace of excitement in her eyes, Elise looked at him indifferently. Hah! This guy has always

banded together with Faye. So, what good intentions can he possibly have?

“Oh, stop beating around the bush. I know what you want to say. What you meant to say was there is no

other way to quell this matter other than to deal with me,” Elise said. Her words pierced through Russell’s

hypocrisy sharply.

Some people were simply known to have a glib tongue. Others would think he or she was a good person

after they heard his or her words. However, they were not aware that such people often used charming

words as a way to harm people imperceptibly.

Looking embarrassed, Russell smacked his lips and did not dare to answer anymore. I’m here to be the

peacemaker today. I’m not the main character—Elise is. I guess there’s no need for me to get myself into

trouble.

“Well, in my opinion, such a malevolent person isn’t suitable to land a job in the company,” someone

suggested.

At once, the rest of the people in the hall agreed.

“Yes, that’s right. Earning profit is a small matter, but we can’t risk the company’s reputation. Right now,

we can still cover up this matter. But, if Miss Yoona is really allowed to join the company, it will become a

scandal that will impact the entire Anderson Family when someone uncovers it. By that time, not even us

can control the damage.”

“Yes, it is better to seek stability than to seek wealth…”

They spoke one after another, and everyone quickly reached a consensus. Then, they looked at Austin

tacitly and waited for him to make a decision.

Pressured by those stares, Austin closed his eyes, feeling helpless. “Since this is the case, Yoona, we

won’t be considering letting you join the company starting from today.”

After a brief silence, Elise’s boisterous laughter resounded throughout the main hall.

“HAHAHA! Well! Very well! I, Elise, swore that I would never compromise for the second time. The

accusations I received in the Anderson Family today will be repaid tenfold in the future! Mark my words!”

Enraged, Elise threw the suicide note onto the ground and left. Then, she kept driving until the day

turned dark. Once the day darkened, she returned to the villa, feeling exhausted.

Ding-dong… After ringing the doorbell, Elise stood outside the door, looking dispirited.

Without delay, the door opened from the inside. Elise subconsciously moved her feet and wanted to

enter the house. However, her tracks were halted by a broad-shouldered unfamiliar figure in front of her.

“You are?”

“You’re Elise? Elise Sinclair?”

Both parties asked simultaneously.
