Chapter 229
So many people were willing to go all out for her, she must be someone special, huh?
Ellinor thought for a while, then said to Byran. Tve got an idea The Howard family’s loaded, right? Even if Theo pulls out his investment from Haillie’s family business, you guys could still step in and help out your sister’s best burds, the Knotts family, through this rough patch
Byran looked troubled. “I don’t have the say in our family’s finances. My brother has always kept his personal and business life separate, and he’s never been a fan of Haillie. So, he’s definitely not going to invest in the Knotts family”
Ellinor expressed regret, “Well, that’s a bummer, I can’t help you then”
Even if she had some pull with Theo, she had no right to interfere with his decisions. Even if Theo would listen to her, she wouldn’t lift a finger to help Haillie
As for the one who repeatedly set her up and nearly got her killed, Ellinor wouldn’t plead for her.
She firmly believed in karma If a person did something wrong, they had to pay for their actions.
Byran looked tense and stepped forward. “Ellinor, I’m begging you, go talk to Theo.”
Ellinor stood her ground and slightly tilted her head, “I’m tired”
Belinda stepped in just in time to back her up and pushed Byran a bit. ‘Did you hear that? She’s tired. Byran, you can hit the road now! Stop bathering her!”
Byran was already in a bad mood. Seeing Belinda get involved, he suddenly became furious, “Belinda‘ I’m talking to Ellinor, mind your own business!”
Belinda didn’t back down. “Her business is my business! Haillie’s been bullying her for too long. Theo dealing with her is just him sticking up for Ellinor; it’s only right! I think just pulling out the investment is already lenient!”
Byran couldn’t refute her, he was so mad that his face turned green, “Buzz off, you have no say here!”
After saying that, he tried to bypass her to continue talking to Ellinor.
Belinda spread her arms and blocked his path, “You’re the one who should get lost! This is Theo and Ellinor’s room! I have every right to speak here!”
“Belinda‘ You re so annoying!”
“Haha, I thought you were going to say something harsher! Byran, you’re such a dunce!”
“Belinda“”
And they started bickering again!
Ellinor felt a headache coming on and sighed.
While they were going at it, she slipped away from the suite to find somewhere quiet.
Meanwhile, in another room.
“Theo, okay, I admit, I did put the earring there, but I only wanted to scare Ellinor a bit; I really didn’t expect her to fall off the cliff.”
Upon hearing that Theo wanted to pull his investment from their family business, Haillie immediately felt terrified, stopped resisting, and quickly admitted her mistake.
Their business hadn’t been doing well these years, and it’s only through their collaboration with the Blanchet Corporation that they could stay afloat in the business world.
If Theo pulled out his investment, their business would be completely ruined!
Back in the day, it was thanks to Patricia that Theo invested in their family business.
And now, for Ellinor, he was actually going to pull out.
