Chapter 74 Embarrassing Herself
Elaine returned home. The moment he stepped into the living room, he heard Abraham’s dignified voice. “Where did you go last night?”
She stopped changing her shoes and slowly raised her head. On the sofa in the living room, Constance was watching television with Abraham.
Abraham was staring at her with a serious expression.
She changed into her slippers and answered simply, “At the hospital.”
Seeing that Abraham was dissatisfied with her cold attitude, Constance handed him the peeled apple in his hand. “Dad, a colleague of Elaine was hospitalized last night. She went to the hospital to accompany her.
This was Elaine’s excuse when he called Valentine family this morning. He did not expect Constance to not have the slightest doubt. Abraham’s expression did not ease. Instead, it became even colder and uglier. “Since you have something to do, why don’t you call home and explain the reason? Don’t you know what’s going on at the age of 23?”
She stood upright at the entrance, her eyelashes slightly lowered, and her voice was low. “Grandpa, I know I was wrong.”
Abraham snorted and picked up the remote control to change the

Constance gave her a look and she nodded understandingly. She went up to the second floor and returned to her room.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. With her “come in“, the door was pushed open. Olivia carried the food into the room. “Ms. Valentine, Madam asked me to bring you the food.”
She was not in the mood at the moment and said casually, “Put it there. “Olivia placed the food on the table. Seeing her gloomy expression, he hesitated for a moment but did not say anything.
Elaine saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated. He asked, “Olivia, what do you have to say to me?”
Olivia walked to the door at the right time. When he heard her say this, he turned around and looked at her. “Ms. Valentine, if you have something on in the future and don’t come home at night, call home in advance. Madam was worried about you all night.”
Recalling the scene where Constance forced herself to stay awake and watch television with Abraham, she felt guilty and pursed her lips slightly. “I understand.”

was about to enter when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and was slightly stunned when he saw that it was him. Then, he regained his composure. “Dad, it’s so late. What’s the matter?“Marcelo did not say anything. He strode into the room and sat down at the desk.
Seeing this, she knew that he had something to say to her. Could it be because she didn’t go home last night?
Marcelo was still wearing a formal suit. It seemed that he had just returned and had not had the time to change his clothes. He pondered for a moment and said, “From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to work at the magazine agency.”
She was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant. “Dad, you mean…”
Marcelo did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “Go to work at Summit Group.”
She felt a chill in her heart. What Tod said last night was still vivid in her mind. Valentine Group’s company had a problem and its cash flow was not working well. It was almost an empty shell. At this time, he wanted her to go to work at Room Mason Group. His intentions were obvious.
He clearly knew that Jackson’s attitude towards her was very cold the previous few times, but he still asked her to go. Was he trying to embarrass her?

Her heart turned cold. “My ability is limited. I’m afraid I can’t enter Summit Group.”
Marcelo said in a deep voice, “I’ll arrange it. You just have to go.”
“But-”
