Chapter 1113
Ellinor squinted her eyes slightly, “What do you mean, has he hoodwinked me?”
Chase opened his mouth, seemed at a loss for words, and gently nudged Ida with his elbow, “Ida, you take over!”
Ida frowned, gave Chase a glance, then adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Ellinor with a complicated expression.
“Boss, I see you getting along so well with Mr. Blanchet: you must be feeling on cloud nine. I didn’t want to spill the beans; perhaps being in the dark would be better.”
Ellinor knitted her brows, “You know I hate beating around the bush. Spill it. What’s up?”
Ida heaved a sigh, “We found some issues with Mr. Blanchet, so Chase went over to M State to dig up some dirt. It turns out that the Blanchet Corporation started several new projects, but Mr. Blanchet didn’t just go there for work.”
Ellinor’s eyes became serious, “What else was he up to?”
Ida spilled the beans, “He’s been wining and dining almost every day with a woman named Sophia in M State. Their relationship seemed fishy, so we looked into this Sophia, and we found…”
At that point, Ida paused, seeming hesitant.
Ellinor frowned, “Found what? Just spit it out. Don’t make me keep prying!”
Ida took a deep breath, “We found that Mr. Blanchet and this Sophia chick got hitched in M State, and… they’re still married.”
The room was dimly lit. Ellinor was sipping her juice through a straw, her facial expression hard to read. After a long silence, she asked again, “Do you have any pictures of this woman?”
“Yes!” Chase responded, pulling out his phone and showing Ellinor the pictures he’d taken, “Boss, take a look!”
Ellinor took Chase’s phone and looked at the clear pictures. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
The girl in the photo was not a traditional beauty. She had an even tan, exotic features, a tight short T-shirt on the top, and a miniskirt on the bottom, looking pretty sexy.
In the photos, she was with Theo, looking close and casual.
Theo usually kept women at arm’s length; even Patricia Howard, who had helped him out, was kept at a distance.
However, the girl in the picture had her arm intimately linked with his, and Theo didn’t seem put off.
Ellinor looked at the pictures for a long time, then snapped out of it and calmly handed the phone back to Chase, “Okay, I get it. You guys can get back to your work.”
Chase and Ida exchanged glances, feeling that Ellinor’s reaction was too calm.
“What’s next? Boss, what are you going to do?” Chase asked with a worried tone.
Ellinor didn’t respond. She just put down her juice, got up, and left the room.
What was next?
She didn’t know.
Chase tried to follow her, but Ida held him back, “Alright, let boss be alone for a while. Don’t follow her!”
