The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Blood, Boundaries, and a Broken Name

Owen frowned, feeling a mix of guilt and resentment toward Yunice.

But he didn’t want to speak ill of her anymore.

Then Lily suddenly thought of something. “I heard Paul’s always been trying to get close to Carl. When it comes to connections, we’re still closer to Carl than he is. If Elsie really becomes Carl’s goddaughter, he might even hand the project over to Paul.”

“If Paul owes Elsie a favor, he won’t be able to ignore her anymore. Taylor can’t compare–she’s just putting on a front with that fake marriage.”

Seeing Owen remain silent, Lily pushed harder. “Taylor’s only advantage is that paper marriage. She and Paul don’t even have feelings for each other. Elsie’s the one who got hurt.”

“So Taylor can steal the man, but we’re not allowed to compete fairly? Just wait–once the Powell family sees what Elsie’s capable of, they’ll kick Taylor out and take our Elsie back.”

Owen still said nothing.

In his heart, he didn’t think Paul was a good man. And in situations like this, the sunk cost fallacy shouldn’t drive decisions. The best thing Elsie could do now was cut her losses and find someone better.

But Elsie aimed too high. She refused to lower her standards. All she wanted was Silverburgh’s so- called prince.

Seeing Owen still unwilling to speak up, Elsie pouted and clung to his arm. “Owen, help me, please?”

Right at that moment, Oscar walked in–and saw the whole thing.

“What the hell are you doing?” he burst into the room, furious, yanking Elsie away.

Lily stood up in confusion, looking innocent. Oscar pointed at Elsie and shouted, “What was that? What were you just doing? Who were you hanging all over?”

Elsie’s eyes went wide. Tears shimmered at the edges, like she’d just been gravely insulted.

Lily slapped Oscar on the arm. “What’s wrong with you? You study too much and lost all common sense? That’s your sister! What’s wrong with her holding her brother’s arm?”

Qwen stood up fast. “Oscar, I know you don’t like Elsie, but that was out of line! What are you even accusing us of? If you don’t apologize to Elsie right now, don’t bother calling yourself my big brother again!”

“Owen!” Lily scolded softly. “That’s too much…”

Oscar had only just snapped out of his shock.

He hadn’t expected Owen and Elsie to be this close.

Finished

Close enough that Owen would rather sever ties with his real brother than let her take a single insult.

Oscar didn’t apologize. He said nothing and walked out of the room.

Oscar looked past him at Elsie, who was hiding behind Owen pretending to be innocent. “That’s Yunice’s birthday. You’re seriously going to steal even that from her?”
