Chapter 144
Sheila thought Ellinor was just blowing smoke, and she rolled her eyes in secret “Who, huh? Spil out the name for us to heart
“The president of Crescent Society, Ida Gipson”
“Crescent Society? Sheila was taken aback, instinctively exchanging a glance with Tracy, both in disbelief.
Arnold, on the other hand, looked curious “You mean that Crescent Society that’s skyrocketed in just three years and is about to go toe to toe with the big four corporations?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yes, that Crescent Society!”
“I heard the president of the Crescent Society is a young woman”
“Yeah, she’s a real knockout!”
Sheila mocked with a whiny tone, “Ellinor, cut the crap! There’s no way you could know the president of Crescent Society. I bet you’re just trying to shirk responsibility and pull the wool over mine and our parents‘ eyes!”
Arnold’s expression turned serious when he heard Sheila’s words, and he asked, “Ellinor, do you really know the president of Crescent Society? How? Spill the beans
“Well, this is how it went. I found Ms. Gipson’s phone on the street and returned it to her.” Ellinor confessed, “I heard there were important documents for the corporation in It, and it would have been a disaster if it got lost. Ms. Gipson wanted to thank me with some kind of reward, but I refused. Then she told me if I ever needed help, I could always contact her, and she even gave me her business card.”
As she spoke, Ellinor took the card out of her pocket. But before she could give it to her father, Tracy, with dollar signs in her eyes, snatched the card to examine it.
The card was sturdy, had a really fancy print, and even had a thin silver edge.
It had such a high–end texture, anyone could tell it wasn’t just any old card!
It read “President of Crescent Society – Ida” along with her contact info.
Tracy looked up at Ellinor and felt skeptical
“Ellinor, a card doesn’t prove anything. Unless you can get through to this Ms. Gipson right now, we can’t believe you!”
Sheila nodded in agreement, ‘Exactly, otherwise, we have no way of knowing if the number on this thing is legit. Call her up!”
Arnold concurred, “Ellinor, dial her up night now, let’s see if it’s really this Ms. Gipson who picks up!”
Ellinor frowned a bit helplessly under the watchful eyes of her father, stepmother, and stepsister She took out her phone and dialed the number on the card.
“Hello, is this Ms. Gipson? This is Ellinor…”
After the call connected, Arnold and Tracy’s eyes were glued to Ellinor as they listened to her ask the person on the other end about their interest in investing in movies
Sheila, on the other hand, was off to the side, frowning in dissatisfaction.
She always thought Ellinor was just putting on airs; she absolutely didn’t believe that Ellinor could be on the phone with someone as important as the president of Crescent Society!
However, Ellinor suddenly handed her the phone, “Sheila, Ms. Gipson wants you to listen to the call, she has some questions about the movie she wants to ask you directly.” Sheila was stunned, took the phone, and said, “Hello?”
