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.
"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.
