From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 224

**[AileenV]:** It’s a wrap! Finally heading home! Back to being Elaine Carter, back to being Mom and Dad’s good girl!

Her post included a photo of a table full of classic comfort food—think roast chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and apple pie—plus a gorgeous selfie.

Olivia Bennett recognized the dining room instantly. That was definitely the Carter Estate.

And the outfit in the selfie? The same one Elaine wore earlier.

Almost immediately, The Carter Group’s official Twitter retweeted her post.

**[The Carter Group Official]:** Congratulations, Ms. Carter! Big shoutout to Ms. Carter! 🎉🎉

Olivia glanced at the comments, which were blowing up with all kinds of reactions.

**[Wow, just as I guessed! Lavinia is actually THE Carter Family’s Ms. Carter!]**

**[Where are all the gossip-mongers now? Weren’t you just making up rumors about my sis? Turns out they’re real siblings—oops, awkward!]**

**[Sorry to disappoint the haters, but my sis didn’t marry into money—she IS the money!]**

**[Ethan’s actually that handsome? I wouldn’t mind being Elaine’s sister-in-law!]**

**[So THAT’S why she has so many opportunities. It’s all about the cash, huh? Ms. Carter, the queen of capitalism!]**

**[She’s already loaded, but still has to make it big in showbiz? Leave something for us regular folks, please!]**

And on and on it went.

The nastier the comments about Elaine Carter got, the deeper Olivia’s frown grew.

Ethan Carter, lounging in a nearby armchair, looked over at her. “What’s up?”

Olivia sighed. “People are really laying into Elaine.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Ethan replied gently. “She knows what she’s doing.”

Olivia knew he was right, but it still stung to read.

She locked her phone, pressed her lips together, and then, curiosity getting the better of her, glanced at Ethan. “Was it your team who pulled this morning’s trending topic?”

“Evan Dale handled it,” he answered. “Now, try to get some sleep.”

Meanwhile, at the Bennett household—

By the time Lavinia Bennett saw the tweets, dusk had already settled.

She clutched her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white.

No way. No freaking way.

That woman was actually Ethan Carter’s real sister, the Carter Family’s Ms. Carter.

Lavinia swallowed hard, scrolling further and further, growing more numb and dazed with every new reveal.

One thought kept echoing in her mind:

Why on earth would someone as privileged as Ms. Carter leave the comfort of the Carter mansion to dive into the crazy world of showbiz?

Carmen Gates found her in that dazed state, looking like she’d seen a ghost. “Lavinia, honey, are you okay?”
