The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 She’s Crying Again

In the face of real power, all pretense had to give way.

Elsie had only managed to stay afloat these past few years by clinging to Owen and Paul, thinking that was enough to elevate her.

But the truth was, outside of the little greenhouse those two built around her. Elsie couldn’t withstand a single storm.

“Excuse me please let me through!” Owen’s voice rose from the back of the crowd.

He pushed his way forward, clearly in a rush. By the time he came into view, his neatly styled hair had come undone, strands falling across his forehead, even the collar of his suit had come loose.

But he couldn’t have cared less about appearances.

The moment he saw Elsie crying on the ground with blood on her lip, his expression changed. He pulled out a handkerchief and gently pressed it to her wound.

Elsie gasped between sobs and clung to Owen’s jacket. “Owen, don’t worry about me. I need to apologize to Taylor. I was the one who gave the ginseng. I don’t know how it got listed under her name this whole mess is my fault. If she slapped me, I probably deserved it…

“She gave the ginseng?”

“Who is this girl, sending hundred–year–old ginseng to Mr. Jackson?”

“I’ve seen her before–Ms. Saunders, right? She attended a medical conference once. Seemed like a polite young lady.”

Someone whispered. “Ms.

unders? Isn’t that Wyatt’s fiander.

‘No, no–that’s just the one listed under the Saunders name. That girl spent years in a psych ward, from what I heard. This one is the real Ms. Saunders. And unmarried, too,”

Huajing heard the whispers and cast a sideways glance at Carl.

Sure enough, Carl’s face had gone dark, she’s the real Ms. Saunders, then that does that make Yunice? Just a stand–in? It’s laughable, completely backward! What a joke!

And Owen was devoted to the daughter of the very people who had hurt his parents. It was both pathetic and disheartening.

Owen helped Elsie to her feet, believing every word she said. His brows drew together as he turned to Taylor. “It was just a mix up with the gitt ledger Ms Taylor, did you really need to be so aggressive? What you did today reflects poorly on both the Powell and Kendall tamilies”

He’d once had a bit of a crush on Taylor, but after she broke Elsie’s finger the last time, that fondness had vanished completely.

Taylor shot back. “She deliberately wore the same dress as me and got her gift listed under my name. Mr. Owen, who’s really trying to stir things up here!”

Plenty of guests had noticed the identical dresses. And in a crowd like this, full of sharp minds and sharper instincts, everyone could see through the act

It was so obvious–she was trying to piggyback on Taylor’s status to boost her own exposure.

Elsie shook her head in Owen’s arms, tearful and trembling. “Owen, I wasn’t trying to compete with Taylor. Someone sent me the dress and told me to wear it to the party. I don’t even know how it turned out like this…”

Elsie whispered, “I don’t know…”

Owen’s frown deepened. He didn’t believe Elsie would pull a stunt like that. Someone had to be setting her up.

Thinking back to the tension between Taylor and Elsie, Owen couldn’t help but spiral into a conspiracy theory. He muttered, “Ms. Taylor… did you send Elsie the dress? Was this your plan to humiliate her?”

That dress was a custom piece–only Taylor and her designer had access to the original. How else

would Elsie know?
