Chapter 740
“TII shoot you the restaurant location later, just focus on your work for now”
Before Theo even had the chance to respond, Ellinor ended the video call.
On the other side of the phone. Theo was left speechless.
Ellinor had quickly hung up because she saw Veronica returning, standing night across from her, staring at her with a face full of discontent.
She didn’t want him to worry about her relationship with Veronica while he was at work, so she wrapped up the call early.
Ellinor didn’t get angry while facing Veronica’s stern glare. She just smiled nonchalantly. “Why are you back? Didn’t you leave with your friends?
Veronica crossed her arms with pride and sat down on the sofa, “None of your business!”
Ellinor yawned, “I don’t care what you do, but keep your distance from Patricia, don’t let her influence you.”
Veronica had a crush on Patricia since she was little, hoping she could be a part of her family.
Veronica thought Ellinor was just jealous after listening to her advice about staying away from Patricia. She retorted immediately, “Ellinor, who are you to lecture me? Who gave you the right? Patricia is better than you, and I like being with her, so what can you do about it?”
Ellinor looked seriously at the clueless Veronica, “As your brother’s wife, I have the responsibility to educate you, including but not limited to preventing you from bringing bad friends home.”
Previously, she and Theo were just partners; she didn’t care about Blanchet family matters, and she had no responsibilities.
But now it was different. She planned to spend the rest of her life with Theo, so she also had the responsibility to educate Veronica.
Otherwise, if Veronica spent too much time with Patricia, she’ll definitely be used by this unscrupulous woman in the future, causing big trouble.
Veronica rolled her eyes as she heard Ellinor say she was going to discipline her, “You think I’m going to listen to you? You’re too full of yourself!”
Ellinor smiled, slowly stood up, then suddenly grabbed Veronica’s arm and twisted it back, pinning her to the sofa.
Veronica screamed in pain, then looked at her in terror, “Ah! Ellinor, what are you doing? Let me go!”
Ellinor whispered in her ear, “Nothing, just showing you if I’m too full of myself or not.”
Despite the pain, Veronica glared at her defiantly, “You might be stronger, but I don’t believe you’ll hit me.”
Ellinor gave a faint smile, “I won’t hit you. It’s pointless to hit someone as dim–witted as you.”
After saying that, she let go and stood up. Veronica was free again.
As soon as Veronica was free, she stood up, rubbing her sore arm, and retorted, “Who are you calling dim–witted? You’re the dummy!”
Ellinor ignored her and turned to Devin, “Devin, after lunch, give the staff half a day off, let them rest a bit. Today, all the housework is Ms. Blanchet’s responsibility!” Devin was very confused, “What do you mean?”
Veronica, overhearing Ellinor, widened her eyes and protested, “Ellinor, have you gone mad? Who said I’m doing all the housework?”
Ellinor looked at Veronica, raising her eyebrows, and said, “Oh? Is there a problem with my arrangement? I’m just teaching you life lessons based on your own family values.
Veronica, I remember this morning when you barged into my room and told me that people from wealthy families like yours should never be lazy, always be diligent, and be capable of doing anything
And me, thanks to your brother’s leniency, even if I don’t do anything, I won’t be kicked out of the house.”
