Chapter 339
However, it seemed like Marissa was putting Ellinor on a pedestal. How could she not love money?
Yes, she did have a deep affection for money, but what she loved was money earned through her own hard work, not money gained by marrying, pleasing men, or by dishonest means.
On the other end of the phone, Putnam’s disgruntled mumbling came through…
“Heh, in this world, who doesn’t love money? I don’t understand how you could be so easily fooled into believing there’s a woman in this world who doesn’t like money! I think you’ve been truly blinded by Ellinor!”
Marissa went silent, seemingly taking a deep breath with great effort. Her voice became somewhat suppressed, sounding like she was gathering strength, and her tone became a bit strange…
“Ellinor, try not to go out these next few days. If you need to go out, be careful. Theo should be able to resolve the issues online soon. I need to take care of some things, so I won’t chat with you anymore.”
Ellinor obediently replied, “Okay, goodbye, Mrs. Blanchet.”
Before she even hung up, she heard Marissa’s loud scolding: “What did you just say?!”
Putnam cried out in pain, “Ouch! Let go, I’m a patient!”
“You remember that you’re a patient? You seem too lively today…”
The rest of the conversation was cut off, the call had ended.
Ellinor found it a bit amusing. Marissa and Putnam were like two kids, quarrelling but still deeply in love. They were like a joyful couple, which was pretty rare!
At that moment, someone sent a video call on her social media, the chat window popped up… it was Sheila Mendoza!
Looking at the computer, Ellinor squinted her eyes.
Ever since she found out she was not blood–related to the Mendoza family, she had cut off contact with them.
There was no point, they had been cold to her and she had no sentiment for that family.
What was Sheila trying to do by calling her now?
After thinking for a bit, Ellinor accepted Sheila’s video call, but didn’t turn on her own camera.
She was currently staying at the Blanchet family’s place, the luxurious background was easy to spot. If Sheila saw it, she would definitely make a fuss!
Soon, Sheila’s face appeared on the screen. She pointed at the camera, turning to her father Arnold Mendoza and saying, “Dad, she picked up!”
Arnold immediately leaned into the frame, furious, and barked out, “Ellinor, where have you been?! You didn’t come home, and you didn’t pick up your phone, either!”
Before, Ellinor would have respected Arnold, who was her father after all. Even if she didn’t have feelings for him, she would still be polite and respectful.
Now, knowing she wasn’t related to Arnold, she dropped the polite act.
Ellinor replied calmly, “What do you want from me?”
Arnold angrily retorted, “You ungrateful rat, what kind of attitude is this? You did all those unacceptable things and now you’re hiding. causing our whole family to lose face and be attacked online! People are even sending wreaths and blades to our house! Ellinor, do you think I’ve lived too long?”
Ellinor was taken aback. The Mendoza family’s address had been found online so quickly?
Clearly, someone was stirring up trouble and leaking information online!
It seemed that before long, her marriage to the Blanchet family would also be found out…
