Brothers want me back novel

Chapter 8 Elaine was clearly shattered this time .

Elaine , no matter what , Ive got your back .

Mavis said with a reassuring smile , trying to ease the tension .

Not long after , Shawn saw Elaines announcement on Twitter .

First , she posted about stepping down from the film role he had arranged for her .

as if that w Then , as wasnt shocking enough , she declared she was temporarily retiring from the entertainment industry What the hell ? She turned it down ? Shawns voice rose in disbelief .

He couldnt wrap his head around it .

Hed gone out of his way to give her a high profile opportunity , and shed not only rejected it but publicly announced it , dragging his reputation down with her .

It was a slap in the face , plain and simple .

This is spiraling out of control , he thought bitterly .

He believed Elaine must have been out of her mind to publicly turn down such a massive role .

It was reckless , career damaging , and humiliating for him The mood in the house turned icy .

Tracy , however , was furious .

Her voice cut through the tension like a whip .

What the hell is she playing at ? Sure , we messed up this one time , but does it really call for this ? me now ? Shes got too much attitude cant even take a She even turned down the great opportunity her brother handed her ! What , is she blaming me little damn criticism ! Shawn silently agreed .

Yes , theyd wronged her , but this ? This was childish and completely over the top Tve been bending over backward to make things right , and Elaines out there playing the damn victim .

Bianca would never pull shit like this , he thought.

If Elaine wanted to push everyone away , Shawn wasnt going to coddle her anymore .

Harlan , the second brother , didnt know all the details , but that didnt stop him from adding fuel to the bre doesnt she ? He leaned back in his chair , smirking .

So , whats our little troublemaker done this time ? She really knows how to make a scene , Shawn rubbed his temples , his patience wearing thin .

Enough , Harlan Dont make it worse .

Shes already blocked my number .

Try getting in touch with her yourself find out what the hell shes thinking Harlan chuckled .

Oh , rd love to hear what her problem is this time .

Whats she mad about now ? Shawn sighed , exasperated .

Its Finley Scott .

Elaine has always been overly suspicious .

Bianca and Finley have been broken up for ages , but she still thinks theres something going on between them The Scouts and our family have been close forever of course , theres going to be some interaction .

But Elaine ? She blows every little thing out of proportion .

His tone grew sharper as he continued .

So when Bianca fell into the pool , Mom and I assumed it was Elaine who pushed her .

Turns out it was just an accident .

But Elaine shes still holding a grudge .

Harlan snorted , his tone dripping with sarcasm .

Oh , of course , e , its about Finley .

Bianca and Finley were the perfect couple childhood sweethearts , everyones favorite golden pair .

If Elaine hadnt shoved her way in , Bianca would already be married into the Scott family , living her dream life .

But no , Elaine just had to screw everything up * This vouce hardened as he continued , Blancas been through so much .

And now Elaine has the nerve to a act like shes the victim ? Its fucking embarrassment .

Ever since she Harlans disdain for Elaine was palpable .

To him , she was nothing but a nuisance a source of constant drama and em had come into their lives , thed done nothing but stir up trouble , Dreame Read Romance_ Download c Chapter 8 Her flashy makeup , her shady friends , her sharp tongue it all screamed chaos .

She couldnt compare to Bianca , who was graceful , accomplished .

and adored by everyone .

Having a sister like Elaine ! It was humiliating to him .

And as far as Harlan was concerned , Elaine had no business being with someone like Finley Only Bianca was worthy of him .

No matter what Elaine had done for the family in the past .

Harlans loyalty would always lie with Biança .

In the corner , the housekeeper listened to their heated conversation , her chest tightening with sympathy for Elaine Its not her faul , she thought .

Theyre the ones w he ones whove be been unfair to her start .

The truth was , if Elaine hadnt been switched at birth , Finley wouldve been her rightful fance from the sta The only reason the Scouts had pulled away was because theyd learned Blanca wasnt a biological Yeats .

Thats when the Yeats family had scrambled to push Elaine into the arranged marriage instead .

They only ever cared about Bianca and the injustice she faced .

Sure , it wasnt her fault shed been switched at birth , but it wasnt Elaines fault either .

The Years family always coddled Bianca ar the slightest hint of trouble , but they had never ever shown Elaine the same care .

The housekeeper had seen it all over the years the countless times Elaine was hurt or wronged , but not once deserved did she get the sympathy she The Years familys blatant favoritism was sickening , even to her , just a housekeeper .

But at the end of the day , it was their family drama .

As an outsider , she had no place to say anything .

Bianca stepped in with her gentle voice .

Come on , Harlan just reach out to Elaine , okay ? This whole thing was just a misunderstanding .

Its not Shawn or Moms fault .

We just need to explain it to her properly .

Harlan Yeats smirked , his tone light but laced with sarcasm .

Well , since my sweet little sister is asking , how could I say no ? Still , deep downs , he was surprised .

When did Elaine become so bold ? Instead of calling her .

Harlan shot off a text [ Eltine , seriously ? Still this perry ? Always making a fuss over nothing .

And now youve even blocked Shawn Harlar : What the hell is wrong with you ? We didnt raise you to be so damn ungrateful .

Bianca already gave up Fuiley for you what more do want ? How much more do you think she should suffer for your sake ? Youre unbelievable || When Elaine saw the text , she blinked .

Then , as if on cue , a bitter laugh slipped out .

She realized something shed forgotten to block him .

But instead of stinging like it used to , his words barely even registered .

No tears , no pain .

Just cold , quiet indifference , Bianca was the cherished darling of the Yeats family , while Elaine was nothing more than a thom in their side The deeper their love for B Blanca , the fiercer their disdain for Elaine .

And no one embodied that contrast more Elaine could already picture his self righteous smirk as he sent the text , fully expecting her to grovel and apologize , just like she used to .

Not this time .

Without a second thought , she added him to her blocked list .

That night , Harlan waited for a reply .

And waited .

But nothing came By the time he realized she wasnt going to respond , it was too late hed been blocked more than Harlan Un fucking believable , he muttered , equal parts furious and stunned .

His anger simmered until it boiled over .

e next morning, he was ready to coufrout her , to make her listen , to demand an explanation .

But Elaine was already gone .

After leaving the Morgan estate , she had decided to return to Floren Village the quiet , remote place she still called home .
