Chapter 1727
Pondering, she finally arrived at the entrance to Baber’s room.
Ellinor didn’t knock. She tried the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked.
Locked?
She was taken aback. She never thought that her little boy, Baber, would lock his door when sleeping.
Disappointment was inevitable when being a mother. It was not just children that became dependent on their mothers. Mothers would also unwittingly begin to rely on their children.
Her usually clingy child had suddenly become independent. It was quite a blow for her.
Ellinor spent a long time at the door, and after much thought, she still felt uneasy. So, she climbed over the balcony from the adjacent study and entered his room.
Inside, Baber was curled up on his bed, hugging a teddy bear with his brow furrowed in sleep.
It was such an insecure sleeping posture, yet he still locked the door, forcing himself to be independent.
Ellinor couldn’t help but think of her own childhood. The taste of forced independence was not pleasant.
After tucking Baber in, Ellinor left the room through the balcony.
That night, she didn’t sleep well.
The next day, Ida called first thing in the morning, reporting the news she had just received.
“Boss, Patricia is out. I heard she behaved well inside and got an early release due to good behavior.”
Ellinor, who was eating breakfast, was not surprised. “Oh really? Where is she staying now? Did she return to the Howard family?”
Ida reported truthfully. “No. She rented a studio apartment and is currently working at a fast-food restaurant.”
This was indeed surprising to Ellinor.
Patricia, a pampered and dignity-saving lady, not only accepted reform in prison but also did such a down-to-earth job after getting out.
Was she really reformed?
“Boss, I’ve assigned someone to keep an eye on her. Nothing unusual has been spotted. She goes to work, buys some food, then goes back to her apartment.”
Ellinor nodded. “Okay, continúe monitoring her. Report any abnormalities.”
“Yes, Boss. Also, the information you asked me to investigate about Thaddeus International Corporation is ready. I’ll email the compiled data to you.”
Ellinor squinted her eyes. “Okay, good!”
After hanging up, Ellinor quickly ate her sandwich, said goodbye to Marissa and Putnam, and hurried back to her room to check the email from Ida.
Thaddeus had come back because his daughter, Sophia, had encountered a problem while managing his domestic assets and had been stuck.
He had personally come to manage his domestic assets, eager to sell all his quality assets off.
From the beginning, Ellinor found this very strange. Even if Thaddeus and his family lived abroad all year round, his quality assets here could bring a handsome income. There was no need to sell them.
