Chapter 446
The Howard family, being such a big shot family, cared a lot about their reputation.
No matter what went down in the family, they could always use their power to keep it under wraps.
Even if some news did slip out, no media organization had the guts to expose the dirt on such a high profile family, so the news only reached a few people and didn’t get
much airtime
In this case, if she didn’t get up close and personal with the people in the Howard family, she’d have no way of finding out what really happened back in the day
Ellinor thought she had no blood ties with Amold, so she believed the rumor about her mom being a homewrecker was squashed
But now she found out she had been labeled a love child, and she was totally bummed out.
She refused to believe her mom was the woman the rumors made her out to be, so she had to dig up the truth to clear her mom’s name.
“Ellinor, aren’t you worried that if you go back to Greenhaven, the Blanchet family will find you? Theo has never stopped looking for you”
“The most dangerous place is often the safest. I can’t let my fear of the Blanchet family finding me stop me from investigating my mom’s case”
Speaking of Theo, Ellinor couldn’t help but think of the news she just saw on TV at the mall. It really ground her gears. “I don’t owe Theo anything. So what if he finds me? | heard he’s about to get engaged to Patricia Howard. If he’s looking for me, he’s probably just trying to send me an invite ”
Hearing about Theo’s engagement with Patricia, Chase’s face showed a hint of surprise, quickly turning into indignation and sarcasm.
He initially thought Mr. Blanchet was a decent guy and someone who could make Ellinor happy.
But now it seemed like he was just like every other guy
Ellinor had only been gone a month, and he had already gotten engaged to another woman?!
Thank god Ellinor was not the lovey–dovey type and not too deep in the rabbit hole.
“Alright, I’ll start packing now. Have Ida send a car for us tomorrow morning”
“Sure”
Ellinor responded, then leaned back on the couch to rest a bit.
Having Ida send a car was the best choice, so as to avoid leaving any traces while using public transportation.
Even though she was not afraid of being found by the Blanchet family, she still wanted to avoid running into Theo if she could, cause whenever the Blanchet family was involved, it was always a hot mess
A few days later. At the Howard Group’s HR department.
The interviewer was going through the candidates for the position of CEO’s secretary one by one.
Since it was the executive secretary for the CEO, the requirements for the candidates were quite demanding.
Candidates need to first pass HR’s evaluation on education, communication skills, and appearance, then be reviewed by the CEO’s trusted aide, Quinton.
After interviewing more than a dozen candidates screened by HR, Quinton was growing more and more dissatisfied. None of these people met his standards.
He liked those who were concise, straightforward, and simple–minded.
But most of these candidates were women, all dolled up with thick makeup, and obviously not here for work.
Looking at the woman sitting across from him, who was all curves and had nothing but flirtatious behavior, he waved his hand dismissively, “Next!”
A few seconds later, Ellinor walked in and took a seat.
Quinton was already suffering from aesthetic fatigue. He lowered his head to rub his temples, and asked, “Tell me, why do you want this job?”
“Cause it pays well.” Ellinor replied
