Chapter 464
Ellinor slouched at her desk, lazily nodding at Haillie, “Yeah, you should be in jail right now”
Haillie had just been sprung out of the slammer yesterday
All thanks to Patricia pulling strings with Balfour, enabling Haillie’s release.
So now Haillie wasn’t the long–haired beauty anymore, but a short haired jailbird
But she had already dyed her hair a trendy color overnight and still looked as alluring as ever.
Thinking about her time in the joint for a crime she didn’t commit, Haillie glared at Ellinor and scoffed at her, “You really thought I’d rot in jail, huh? Ellinor, you should know that Patricia is my best bud. She wouldn’t just stand by and watch me take the fall!”
“Really?” Ellinor chuckled nonchalantly
Haillie fumed even more at Ellinor’s indifference, “Ellinor you think your little scheme fooled everyone? Patricia has always stood by me! You set me up, framed me, and made everyone turn against me! Luckily, nobody got hurt and Patricia had no trouble pulling some strings to get me out!
Now that I’m out and about, your good days are numbered! You’ll pay for this!”
“I’ll be waiting.” Ellinor brushed off Haillie’s threat and busied herself with some paperwork.
As for what happened in the hospital, someone was indeed pulling the strings.
But it wasn’t her, it was Patricia.
Everything was Patricia’s doing!
But Patricia was a cunning fox, she had a backup plan in case things went south and let her friend Haillie take the fall.
Now, Patricia playing the good Samaritan by getting Balfour to help Haillie out of jail was just another manipulation.
Haillie, although crafty, wasn’t that quick on the draw.
And Patricia, with her angelic face, was actually a master manipulator, playing everyone around her like a fiddle and making them beljeve she was just an innocent little lamb
Nobody around Patricia knew the real her.
Haillie eyed Ellinor, who was busy with her paperwork, warily scrutinizing her, trying to figure out her game, then asked guardedly, “Ellinor, are you trying to snag my Balfour because you’re not content with your ordinary life after Theo dumped you?”
Ellinor arched an eyebrow, “Hmm? Since when did Mr. Howard become your man? This is news to me.”
Everyone knew about Haillie’s crush on Balfour, it wasn’t exactly a state secret.
