SWNOVELS Chapter 504
Chapter 504 You Have Changed a Lot
Peter didn't bother to take Denise’s question seriously. "If it weren't for a mother like you, how could Sophie be what she is
today? Instead of reflecting on your own problems, you blame me. Denise, you really haven't changed a bit over the years."
He thought, you never think you have a problem. No matter what happens, it is always the other person who is at fault, not you.
"Yes, you are right. I haven't changed a bit. I have always been like this. And you always knew, didn't you?"
Denise sneered, 'On the contrary, Peter, you have changed a lot these years."
The two were at loggerheads, neither giving in to the other. It was not until the assistant knocked on the office door that Peter
said to Denise, "Ella will come for dinner tonight. Go back and tell the kitchen staff to make a few more dishes."
"Peter Gainsford!" Denise stared at him with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe that he wanted her to host and welcome Elaina.
"Denise, don't forget who you are now. Since you are married into the Gainsford family, you belong to the Gainsford family now.
You do what I tell you to do, get it?" Peter looked at Denise coldly, his eyes cold.
Unlike the pushover before, the current Peter was the head of the Gainsford family, a man that made others tremble in fear.
Denise's face was pale. She wanted to refute him, but she could not find a reason to.
Seeing that, Peter continued, "Don't think that you have your family backing you up. Let me tell you something. No matter how
much they protect you, they won't offend me because of you. It seems that even after all these years, you still fail to realize that."
The Brynn family might be happy to help Denise regarding some trivial matters, but it wasn't because she was part of them.
Instead, it was because she was the hostess of the Gainsford family, and they helped her for the sake of the Gainsford family.
Peter felt bad for Denise since she thought that the Brynn family was looking out for her.
After a long time, Denise still did not say anything. Then Peter waved at her. "Go back. Do what you have to do. You don't have
to worry about anything else."
Denise turned to leave. However, she was not convinced. She thought, it's all Elaina's fault. If she hadn't come out of the blue,
how would things have turned out this way?
It has been years. And I'm not saying that she must die. If she could behave herself and be content with being Peter's daughter,
then I might choose to turn a blind eye.
But now?
Elaina has just returned, and Peter is already about to hand over the Gainsford Group to her. How am I supposed to be OK with
that?
Forget about me. I won't sit still and do nothing simply for Sophie's sake.
Peter had already left and was in his office. He did not know what Denise was thinking, but because he knew her, he said to his
assistant, "Get someone to keep an eye on her. Don't give her a chance to hurt Ella."
"OK, Mr. Gainsford."
The assistant nodded and asked, "Many outsiders know about the two companies you sent to Ms. Gainsford, and they have
called to ask about your relationship with her. How ... do you want to reply?”
Peter had already prepared for such a question. "Make it public. Tell them that she is my eldest daughter who has been lost for
years."
Though slightly surprised, the assistant said nothing but nodded and left.
Peter was very upset that he could not tell everyone who Elaina's mother was, but he had no choice. After all, he and Elaina's
mother had never been married. He had to tell others that Elaina was his eldest daughter with Denise, and Elaina had been
missing for years. Otherwise, in others' eyes, Elaina would be an illegitimate daughter and would inevitably be pointed fingers at.
Elaina had already suffered so much. The last thing Peter wanted was to see her suffer more.
