Chapter 74 La predicament .
The truth was , Elaine had already secretly called off her engagement with Finley , but they hadnt gotten around to telling him yet .
And now , here he was , specifically asking to see her .
It couldnt be more awkward , especially with Finley demanding to meet Elaine at this very moment .
Thankfully , Harlan had just returned , so at least she had someone to consult about this mess .
Tracy , looking slightly anxious , turned to her son .
Harlan , do you think Finley is here because of what happened at the charity event ? Maybe he saw how close Kingsley and Elaine were , and now hes gotten suspicious .
Hes probably come to the Years family to question us .
And with Elaine not home shes s grown so stubborn lately she wont listen to a word I say She sighed in frustration and added .
I really dont know whats gotten into her .
Ever since Shawn kicked her out , shes been different .
And now , no matter what I say , she snaps back .
Its driving me mad .
Its like shes obsessed with the idea that I favor Bianca over her .
Well , Ill just wait and see how far shell push me .
Tracy had always thought her actions were justified .
She had raised Bunca for nearly twenty years , and that bond was something Elaine would never fully understand .
So , whenever Bianca faced even the slightest injustice , or anything even remotely upsetting .
Tracy couldnt help but take it out on Elaine .
Too bad , theres no such thing as a rewind button in life .
Tracy wouldnt realize the full meaning of that phrase until much later .
Harlan , already overwhelmed with all that had happened with Elaine , felt his temper flaring , Mom , you didnt … you didnt really leave Finley in the dark about Elaine calling off the engagement , did you ? You know Kingsley is about to publicly announce his marriage to Elaine he could be manying her any day now , If Finley hasnt been told the truth all along , and he causes a scene , itll be a total disaster .
Not only will the whole Scott family be a laughingstock in high society , but the Years family will get dragged into it ton .
And if Kingsley or Grace gri upset … well have made enemies with both families .
We cant afford that .
We really cant afford that Tracy , feeling some pressure from Harlans words , still seemed uneasy .
I dont want to do this either , but your grandmother has been pushing for Hianca and Finley to get back together .
You know how the Scott family looks down on Bunca , thinking shes not real Years blood , so theyre not ready to accept her as their daughter in law .
We figured if we didnt tell Finley or the Scouts about the annulment just yet .
Bianca and Finley could stay in touch through their families , rekindle their relationship , and then wed break the news when the time was night .
She sighed , her voice softening I was hoping it would all work out in the end … that everyone would be happy .
Isnt that better ? But Harlan wasnt convinced .
Ugh , mom , now isnt the time for this .
We need to deal with Finley first .
If we tell him the truth about Elaine calling off the engagement now , his pride will be bruised .
Hell get angry .
But if hes with Blanca , then maybe … maybe he wont care so much when he finds out What do you think ? Tracy nodded , but then she continued , As for the Morgans , your future father in law told me himself … I think Kingsleys interest in Elaine is just a passing fancy .
How could someone like him marry a woman whos so different from him in every way ! Elame couldnt even measure up to Finley , so how could she be good enough for Kingsley ! Harlan clenched his jaw , his forehead knotting in frustration .
He hadnt expected Daisys family to get involved .
Something didnt sit right with him about all this .
But at this point , there was no turning back .
Hed just have to roll with it , even if it felt wrong .
Finally , he gave a reluctant nod .
Alright , lets let Finley in .
Well handle it when hes here Tracy sighed in relief .
Good Not long after , the news spread throughout the Yeats family that Finley had come to the house , specifically asking for Elaine .
The servants were unterly stunned .
For someone of Finleys status heir to one of the top families his interest in Elaine seemed almost unreal .
They had always believed Elaine was out of his league , so they couldnt help but gossip about it But no one could deny that Elaine didnt deserve him .
That was the consensus among the staff .
With Elaine absent , Tracy and Harlan had no choice but to welcome their guest and make up whatever excuses they could to buy some time .
No matter what , they needed to delay this as long as possible .
Meanwhile , in the study .
Ellas eyes sparkled when she heard Finley had arrived .
A plan quickly formed in her mind .
Finleys here ! Well , then , someone should tell B Bianca to come down and look her best .
Yes , grandma Dreame Read Romance .
