Chapter 640
Even if she wanted to reconnect, she should have discussed it in private. Why would she go there to make a fool of herself?
Let me tell you, she doesn’t have the brains for this. She was definitely egged on by someone else p>
Eleanor’s sharp intuition was spot on.
As she spoke, Eleanor grabbed her phone and dialed Lacey’s number. “Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Going to her university gates?
Don’t you know the girl is a public figure? Even if you don’t care about your dignity, she cares about hers p>
In truth, Mira wasn’t afraid of the public finding out. The fact that she had severed ties with her family was already common knowledge back in Melvion City.
“Daphne said… she said Mira is already recognized by the Quinn family. She told me that if I just showed a sincere attitude, Mira would definitely accept me p>
“I knew someone was putting you up to this. That cursed woman! Tristan truly suffered a lifetime of bad luck the day he married her.
She never does anything productive, just schemes all day to steal the family fortune and ruin people p>
Eleanor was referring to Daphne Quinn, Tristan’s wife. Tristan was Sebastian’s brother, Eleanor’s eldest son.
“Lacey, are you an empty-headed fool? You just do whatever someone tells you to do?
If she told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
Before you do anything else, you run it by me first, or I will never speak to you again p>
“I understand, Eleanor p>
Hanging up, Eleanor turned to Mira. “Honestly, your mother wasn’t like this before. Ever since she married that father of yours, her brain turned to mush p>
“Don’t be angry, Eleanor. I’m not afraid of this getting out p>
“You still need to be careful, Mira. Rumors take on a life of their own. If the whole world points their fingers at you, even the innocent are painted guilty.
Haven’t we seen enough reputations ruined by public opinion over the years?
Just how many more people is that foolish Lacey going to drag down with her p>
“I’m not afraid, Eleanor. These things
were public record back in Melvion
City
It’s only a matter of time before
someone digs it up here p>

“Just be cautious. If you can’t handle it on your own, you can always ask Sebastian for help p>
“I know, Eleanor p>
After dinner, Harvey called.
“Mira, did your mom come looking for you today? You need to check the Aethelgard Social Forum p>
“Yeah, I know p>
Mira replied helplessly.
She logged onto the forum. Someone had already uploaded a photo of Lacey collapsed on the ground.
Mira skimmed the thread, noting the wide variety of reactions.
“Celebrity student coldly ignores her own mother crying in the street and walks away p>
“I can’t believe Mira Mercer won’t even acknowledge her own mother p>
“Wow, is she just heartless, or is there some hidden drama p>
“Ignoring the woman who gave her life is morally bankrupt. It doesn’t matter how talented she is if she’s this toxic p>
“If she treats her own mother like trash, what else can you expect from her p>
“Maybe her mom is just putting on a show to guilt-trip her p>
“Exactly. There’s always two sides to a story p>
“I hate parents like this. Why can’t
they resolve their issues in private? Making a publie scene and
collapsing in front of her child is just emotional manipulation p>
“There’s no such thing as a bad parent. No matter what, they gave you life and
raised you p>
“Agreed. Disowning your parents means you have no conscience p>

like she content belongs te
