Chapter 82 Elaine honestly hadnt expected Harlan to bring her a gift .
It was a first in over a decade .
She had to admit , it caught her off guard .
Inside the box was a delicate , well crafted bracelet .
When Bianca and Finley returned , they saw Harlan handing Elaine the gift .
Bianca watched , noticing how Harlan carefully placed the bracelet in front of Elaine , his expression almost hesitant , like he was trying to please her .
The sight stung .
It was clear : Harlan was hoping this gift would make Elaine smile , to lift her spirits just a little .
Tucker had broken the last gift Harlan gave her , and if this were any other time , Harlan wouldve replaced it , offering this new bracelet as a peace offering .
But not now .
Not anymore .
Had things been different , Harlan never wouldve brought Elaine a gift in the first place .
Thank goodness , she had temporarily silenced Finley .
Otherwise , she feared she might have lost even more .
The jewelry was extravagant , yes but Elaine wasnt the type to appreciate such things .
No , it was Bianca who would fall for this kind of gaudy accessory .
Elaine didnt care for it one bit .
Only Bianca would appreciate this kind of jewelry .
I dont like it , Elaine said flatly .
Harlan , taken aback by her lack of enthusiasm , fumbled , his face flushed with embarrassment .
Then what do you want ? Tell me , Ill bring it for you .
Elaine lifted her eyes to him , cold as ice .
What dont you understand ? I dont want anything from you .
And this is the last time Ill call you Harlan .
Ive told you before Im cutting ties with all of you .
She had said those very words to Shawn once before .
Harlans voice dropped , almost pleading now .
Elaine , dont say that .
Please , youre still our little sister .
No matter what happened before , were family .
Weve been through so much why cant we just start fresh ? Well get along from now on , I promise .
He was grasping at straws , trying to repair what had already been shattered .
He never thought it would be this bad .
Elaine , I know Ive messed up .
I didnt understand you .
Im sorry for that .
I was wrong , and Ive been thinking about it all this time .
Ill change .
I wont lose my temper with you again .
Ill control my emotions , okay ? Little sister , I really am sorry .
Elaine just shook her head , her voice icy .
This isnt about me being angry .
From the day I woke up in the hospital , I swore Id distance myself from all of you .
Were strangers now .
Returning to the Yeats family was the biggest mistake I made .
And as for your temper … you really need to work on it .
Or else Daisy will keep causing trouble for me .
Dont mention that woman .
Harlans face twisted at the mention of Daisy .
Shes a liar .
Ive broken up with her .
Ive already told her Im done .
The moment he said it , it was as if a weight lifted from his chest .
He regretted ever being involved with Daisy she was a devil in disguise .
He felt ashamed for not seeing it sooner .
Bianca , standing off to the side , was shocked .
She hadnt expected Harlan to break up with Daisy .
Daisy was her good friend , the one whod introduced her to Harlan , and now he was dumping her ? Wasnt that a slap in the face to Bianca ? Suddenly , Bianca didnt know how to handle this situation .
How could she look Daisy in the eye after this ? Elaine wasnt surprised , though .
Harlans actions didnt matter anymore .
She was too far gone .

His apologies were too little , too late .
She had long accepted that she would never have the love or acceptance she once craved from her brothers .
Even if they were only as kind as Bianca , it would have been enough .
But instead , fate had dealt her a cruel hand .
She didnt get the brotherly love she hoped for .
Instead , she was left with an explosion , a mangled body , and Kingsley .
The end for the villainous sister was just as cold and rushed as the life she lived .
At least now , with Finley out of the way , she had one less problem to deal with .
If she stayed out of the love lives of the leads , maybe , just maybe , things would be easier moving forward .
Elaine suddenly spoke again , her voice distant .
Harlan , do you remember ? Back when you liked that girl from the neighboring film crew , and I helped you deliver love letters every day ? I was exhausted from filming , but I always put your needs first .
You said you didnt care about it and that I was bothering you .

She had foolishly done things for him , only to be discarded .
Harlans expression faltered as he processed what Elaine had said .
He had forgotten all about it .
But now , as the words sank in , regret flooded him .
How could he have been so blind ? He never imagined things would end up like this .
Elaine didnt recognize him as her brother anymore .
She even regretted being in the same house as him .
Elaine … His voice cracked , but no more words came .
The tension in the room was suffocating .
Tucker watched the scene with a painful familiarity , the same emptiness he had once felt in his own heart when Elaine had turned away from him .
No matter how hard he begged , Elaine would never turn back .
His eyes grew moist .
Kingsley broke the silence , his voice firm .
Since everythings been resolved , Ill take Elaine and leave .
There was no asking for permission .
It was simply a statement of fact .
The driver was already on his way to bring the car around .
Tucker , eyes red , started to follow them , desperate to tell Elaine , Dont worry .
Ill protect you .
Ill do everything I can .
Ill become a great scientist , and Ill get back everything you lost .
No one will dare look down on you again .
He wanted to be her shield , even if she married into the Morgan family .
No one would dare hurt her .
But he hesitated .
He was afraid Elaine would see him as nothing more than an annoyance .
As soon as Elaine left , Harlan couldnt stop himself from demanding answers from Tracy and Tucker .
Tucker , Mom , what happened while I was gone ? Why is Elaine like this ? She doesnt even recognize me anymore … Tucker smirked , his voice laced with sarcasm .
Harlan , maybe you should ask Mom .
Ive already said enough .
Tracy , irritated by Harlans accusatory gaze , sighed .
Its exactly what you saw .
Elaines changed .
Shes a different person now , and frankly , shes become impossible .
Harlan , Id advise you not to push her right now .
When shes ready , shell come back to us .
Tucker couldnt hold back any longer , his frustration boiling over .
Mom , stop fooling yourself .
Youre just upset that Elaines not going to marry into the Morgan family .
You think shell embarrass you , dont you ? But guess what ? She doesnt even care about you anymore .
Whatever happens next , its not your problem .
