Chapter 80 Stirring Up Trouble Only to Be Exposed

Faced with Joyce's accusations, Elianna not only didn't defend herself but also agreed.

"Mom, you're right. I indeed haven't taken good care of Asher these past few days. How about this? If it's convenient for you, can you call Asher and ask him to come back home? It would be easier for me to take care of him that way."

Joyce frowned. "What do you mean? Where else can Asher go if he doesn't come here?"

Elianna looked surprised. "Mom, don't you know? Asher has been staying at Kenley's place these past few days."

"What?"

Seeing Joyce's gaze, Kenley, who had been watching a play, instantly stiffened. However, she quickly reacted and said with a grievance, "Elianna, why are you saying this? When did Asher stay at my place?"

"Elianna! Why are you repeatedly tarnishing the relationship between them? They are siblings."

"Joyce, please don't be angry. I don't think Elianna meant it."

Elianna remained unmoved and directly tapped her phone a few times, pointing at the screen.

"Kenley, do you have a bad memory? Wasn't it your own TimeLine?!"

[Kenley: Cooked dinner for Asher today. He praised my cooking skills/ Picture attached] Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

[Kenley: Scared of thunder today. Luckily, Asher is here with me.]

These sweet interactions between them were posted almost daily, and there were even a few pictures that were overly intimate. Joyce's brows furrowed as she read.

As Elianna flipped through Kenley's TimeLine one by one, Kenley's face grew paler.

She had posted these moments specifically for Elianna to see and had set them to be visible only to her. She had actually forgotten about this.

Joyce's expression soured, and she said with concealed anger, "Kenley, although you and Asher grew up together, you're both adults now. You should avoid any appearance of impropriety. Why are you always clinging to Kenley?"

"What? I... I... Joyce, I'm sorry."

Kenley had no way to defend herself and could only admit her mistake.

Internally, she was seething with anger. She had deleted those moments the day after posting them, and she never expected that the cunning Elianna would have taken screenshots and presented them to Joyce.

"She really is a dog that bites," thought Kenley.

Kenley was unwilling to let Elianna off so easily.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly pointed at the empty wall in the living room and said, "By the way, Elianna, why didn't I see Plum Blossoms that Grandpa gave you this time? It used to hang right here, right? "

She stared at Elianna, hoping to see a moment of panic on her face.

"That painting... The scroll got damaged, so I took it for repairs."

"Hmph, taken for repairs? What a liar!" thought Kenley.

"That painting is so valuable, and it represents Grandfather's approval of Asher. It's so precious; we can't afford to lose it."

Kenley's tone carried subtle self-satisfaction, as she was about to grasp her leverage.

"Kenley is right."

Joyce added seriously, "This was personally given by Grandfather. We can't afford any mishaps."

"Mom, please rest assured. I chose a carefully selected place for it, and there won't be any problems."

...

After the two of them left, Elianna looked at the empty wall, her lips curling up.

She muttered to herself, "A painting worth half a billion is indeed precious."

With the people gone, Elianna could finally eat in peace.

Halfway through her lunch, her phone rang.

It was from Abraham.

"Anna, your fish is hooked."

This was exactly what Elianna wanted to hear, but the term of endearment gave her goosebumps.

"Mr. Morgan, can you please call me by my name normally?"

"Anna sounds so nice, and besides, who knows when Mr. Larsen will kick you aside? Then it'll be my turn, so calling you affectionately in advance doesn't hurt."

It was just a nickname; Elianna let it go.

The main focus now was how to get that half a billion-dollar painting to silence Brett.
