Chapter 243
He walked over and picked up that black lump on the bed, it turned out it was a fake, realistic looking rat “Haillie, chillax It’s just a toy ratt
What’s up with Ellinor’s weird hobby, carrying this thing around?
She’s got the nerve to prank at a time like this!
Haillie’s leg was out of commission, and she was still trying to scare herl
Wait a sec, Haillie was out of bed?
Byran caught on, surprisedly looking at Haillie, ‘Haillie, your leg’s all good?”
Haillie’s face froze, and she stood there dumbfounded. Only then did she realize she could stand, she even jumped up.
Oh crap, her quick leap off the bed after being scared by the fake rat was a dead giveaway. There’s no way she can keep pretending now
Haillie quickly covered up her embarrassment and put on a surprised face. “Oh my gosh, my leg’s really better! This is so surreal…*
When Ellinor was messing with her ankle, it hurt like hell. But after Ellinor was done, her leg felt pain–free and light as a feather
But there was no way she would let Ellinor get all the glory so she pretended she didn’t feel a thing Little did she know Ellinor would scare her with a toy rat.
She blew her cover!
Everyone was amazed at Ellinor, even the stable doctor had respect in his eyes.
To save face, Haillie decided to thank Ellinor. She hugged her and exclaimed, “Ellinor, you really know your stuff! You’re amazing! Thanks a lot! I no longer have to worry about my leg affecting my dancing!”
After her thank you, Haillie whispered into Ellinor’s ear, “Ellinor, you win this round!”
Ellinor smiled and replied. “No biggie. I kinda had a hunch you were faking”
Haillie clenched her teeth in anger, her smile froze on her face, “Ellinor, don’t get too cocky! Patricia just needs to make one call, and Theo will change his mind about pulling out his investment! It’s clear who Theo values more!”
Ellinor responded, “Yeah, I get it. Patricia is the most important.”
Haillie smirked, “Glad you understand! So, stop trying to get Theo’s attention with your useless tricks. No matter what you do, it’s all for nothing! Theo only has eyes for Patricia: you can’t compete.”
Ellinor replied, “Actually, I’ve got zero interest in comparing who Theo values more between Patricia and me. And you, willing to gamble your career just to make Theo dislike me? Luckily it was just a sprain. If you had torn a ligament, wouldn’t that be too expensive to pay?”
Haillie laughed, “For Patricia’s happiness, I’d even gamble my career. So what?”
Ellinor sighed. Although Haillie’s actions were over the top, her loyalty to her friend was real.
She didnt know Patricia, but she had to admit Patricia had a friend who would give it all up for her, even at her own expense.
“What are you two ladies chatting about?”
