Chapter 336
Ellinor blinked her eyes, “Honey, I remember you brought me to the Blanchet family to help you out, so I’ve been playing nice, following your lead, not stepping on your toes, and honestly, expecting nothing from you. But now, things have changed. Since we’ve decided to give this a go, you should respect my wishes! With all that’s been going on these last few days, I’m exhausted. I need some alone time. Can I have this room to myself? If you insist that this is your room, I can go to the guest room, or I can even take off and go back to my own place!”
Theo squinted at her, speechless. What a smart cookie she is!
“Yours, mine, whatever. When have I not backed down for you? If you want the room, it’s yours. I’ll go to the study.”
“Well, thank you then!” Ellinor smirked, chin lifted, grinning as she pointed at his hand on the door, “Hand?”
Theo didn’t want to leave her alone, but her stubbornness left him no choice but to pull his hand away…
As soon as his hand moved, Ellinor slammed the door shut and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Theo stood outside the closed door, not in the best of moods.
For the first time in his life, someone had the guts to treat him this way, and it was the girl he adored. What could he do? Theo rubbed his temples in resignation, turned around, and saw his subordinate, Collin, not far away. He had apparently seen everything and was watching him anxiously…
Feeling annoyed, Theo lit up a cigarette, “What’s wrong?”
Collin came over and reported, “Mr. Blanchet, we’ve tracked down the source of the video, but the IP address is fake. The real one is heavily encrypted. Our team is working on it. This seems to be a publicity stunt by the internet celebrity, trying to get back at Ellinor.” Theo flicked his cigarette, “Find that internet celebrity. I’ll handle the online mess. You guys can stay out of it.”
Collin was surprised, Mr. Blanchet was personally getting involved?!
Ellinor really had more sway over Mr. Blanchet than Ms. Howard…
“Yes, sir!” Collin accepted the order and left to handle it.
After Collin left, Theo exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at the closed bedroom door, and headed to his study with a sigh.
After her shower, Ellinor put on comfortable clothes and felt much better.
She sat at the desk and turned on her laptop.
After logging into her social media accounts, chat windows popped up with Ida Gipson and Chase Larios…
Chase: “Ellinor, where are you?”
Ellinor typed back: [At the Blanchet family.]
Ida: “Ellinor, we’re trying to control the media narrative, but Mr. Blanchet beat us to it and cooled things down.”
Ellinor: “Got it.”
Chase: “Ellinor, I think someone’s pulling the strings behind all this. Otherwise, how could things escalate so quickly? Although the heat has died down, the public opinion is still against you. What should we do next?”
Ellinor: “Don’t panic, I can handle the online stuff. Chase, investigate who was behind the LED public confession at the Century Bank Building. Confirm if the recipient, Diana, is real, and check if there’s a Diana in Greenhaven who happened to return to the country around that time.”
Chase: “Understood!”
Ida: “Ellinor, are you suggesting that the LED public confession wasn’t done by Mr. Blanchet?”
