Chapter 213: Forced to Acknowledge Ancestry
Naturally, the most pressing question was waiting for Ella to answer.
"Miss Davis, Old Mr. Carter referred to you as his granddaughter, yet you continue to call him Old Mr. Carter. Is it because of past grudges that you refuse to acknowledge your relationship with him?" a sharp-faced female reporter asked loudly.
This was the question everyone was most eager to hear the answer to. Ella raised her eyebrows slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.
Leah quickly pushed through the crowd, "Ella’s not feeling well right now. Everyone, please step aside."
"Miss Carter, is Carter Group planning to formally acknowledge Miss Davis as the granddaughter?"
"Yes, Miss Carter, Old Mr. Carter seems to treat Miss Davis quite well."
The reporters continued to press for answers, while Eric stood calmly with his arm around Ella’s waist, casting a cold glance at the reporters’ aggressive faces, inwardly smirking at their audacity.
Ella remained unhurried. She wanted to see how Leah would play this.
"My grandfather is getting old. Of course, he just wants the family to be united and harmonious, but Ella..." Leah trailed off, adopting a look of hesitation and sadness. Her words subtly implied that Ella was being heartless, causing an elderly man grief.
"Miss Carter, is Miss Davis refusing to acknowledge Old Mr. Carter?"
"Miss Davis, with Old Mr. Carter treating you so well, how can you be so heartless as to reject his wish?"
