Chapter 337
Ellinor: “Hmm, indeed it’s not him.”
Ida: “Now that’s interesting! It seems someone is stirring the pot, making everyone who sees this whole scene misunderstand! I think it’s quite likely that Ms. Howard herself did it. What do you think?”
Ellinor had her suspicions too.
It’s not that she didn’t trust Theo’s explanation, or doubted his ability to investigate this minor matter.
But, she couldn’t help but think, what are the odds?
Patricia could have returned earlier or later, but she just happened to return on the day Theo set up a tulip flower field!
And on the day Patricia returned, someone just happened to publicly confess their love on the LED advertisement of the Century Bank building on the Bund to another girl with a similar name!
The kicker is, such a grand confession didn’t even use the full name of the person it was meant for!
Who would know which girl it was?
Even the person themselves wouldn’t think that the confession was meant for them, right?
Since they chose to confess publicly, they must be the kind of person who likes to flaunt their romantic relationships. If they like to flaunt, why would they be so secretive about the name?
It’s contradictory, it didn’t make sense.
As for Theo ending the investigation after finding out that the person being confessed to on the LED advertisement order of the Century Bank building was named Diana, that’s normal.
Patricia was his benefactor, and Theo felt grateful to her, he wouldn’t doubt her.
No one would maliciously doubt someone who once saved them.
But Ellinor was different, she had no connection with Patricia, and after these past few days, she hadn’t developed a liking for Patricia either.
She even felt that Ms. Howard, who looked as innocent as a fawn, can be quite phony at times.
Also, all these recent events started happening after Patricia came back, basically non–stop.
It’s hard not to think that these events have something to do with Patricia…
If they really did have something to do with her, then this seemingly innocent and gentle girl was quite the schemer, and one needs to be careful in the future.
Suddenly, her phone vibrates…
Ellinor came back to her senses, looked down at the caller ID, and the name displayed was “Grandpa“.
Seeing “Grandpa“, Ellinor felt strange, she didn’t have a grandpa.
Then she realized, she was using Theo’s phone, it was Theo’s grandpa calling…
Ellinor hesitated, she couldn’t answer this call, she had never met Putnam Blanchet, and Putnam didn’t know her.
So, she picked up the phone, intending to bring it to Theo’s study, but accidentally hit the answer button!
The call connected!
Oh no!
From the other end of the line, an angry old man’s voice demanded:
“Theo, what kind of woman have you brought into the Blanchet family? You’re a grown man, how could you bring such a dishonest woman home? I think you’re deliberately trying to shame me in my old age!”
Ellinor laughed. If she was not mistaken, the person Putnam was referring to should be her, right?
