Chapter 380
Devin was taken aback, his surprise quickly morphing into a respectful and friendly smile.
Turns out they were relatives of Mrs. Blanchet and were indeed VIPS! He couldn’t keep them waiting too long.
However, until he was sure of their identities, he couldn’t just let them in. So he said, “If you could chill out here for a bit, I’ll go and tell Mrs. Blanchet.”
With that, Devin turned and headed upstairs to inform Mrs. Blanchet personally.
Even though Mr. Blanchet had specifically asked him not to disturb Mrs. Blanchet’s rest, this was an emergency, and he had no choice but to wake her.
Ellinor was roused by Devin’s knock, asking sleepily. “What’s up?”
Devin respectfully replied from outside the door, ‘Mrs. Blanchet, there’s a middle–aged couple and a lady about your age looking for you outside. They claim to be your relatives and I can’t verify their identities, so I thought I’d better check with you.”
A middle–aged couple and a woman her age? Relatives?
Ellinor’s eyes snapped open. She was fully awake now.
Could it be the Mendozas? How’d they know she was here?
But since they’d found her, they must know who she really was. There was no point in hiding anymore.
Ellinor sat up, tidying her hair a bit, thinking about how to handle the situation. Then she told Devin, “Let them in and have them wait in the living room. 1 need to freshen up.”
“Sure thing, Mrs. Blanchet.”
With that, Devin left.
Meanwhile, Sheila was already getting antsy waiting at the Blanchets‘ front door, muttering under her breath.
In her mind, she was the rightful lady of the Blanchet house. That servant who answered the door had left her waiting outside for way too long. Unbelievable!
Once she became Mrs. Blanchet, the first thing she’d do was settle the score with that servant.
Just then, the Blanchets‘ front door opened and two young servants came out, inviting them in very respectfully.
Sheila, however, was not in a good mood and glared at them impatiently. “Really now! Making me and my parents wait out here for so long. When Mr. Blanchet gets back, I’m gonna get him to fire you!”
The two servants were taken aback and completely baffled.
They had been extremely respectful, following Devin’s explicit instructions to treat the guests with respect as they were relatives of Mrs. Blanchet.
But being yelled at by this relative and threatened with dismissal left them very confused.
Not only was her attitude bad, but she seemed to think she ran the show. She acted like the Blanchet house was hers, like whatever she asked Mr. Blanchet to do, he would just do it?!
