Chapter 75
A serious voice echoed over the phone, “This is East Town Police Station, are you related to Ellinor?”
Devin glanced at Mr. Blanchet, who nodded. He then dared to reply, “Yes, what’s up?”
The voice on the phone said, “If you’re related to Ellinor, we need you to come to East Town Police Station ASAP There’s something we need you to confirm”
After the call ended.
Marissa was so shocked that she collapsed weakly onto the couch.
Veronica was even more convinced of her suspicions, “Granny, see, the cops have called. That woman who was arrested must be my sister–in–law! How could she do such a thing? Granny, you’re so soft on her!”
Marissa was heartbroken and couldn’t accept the fact.
Theo got up, grabbed his blazer, and told Veronica sternly, “You stay here and keep Granny company. Don’t step out!”
Veronica tried to stop him, “Bro, that woman isn’t worth it. You shouldrit concern yourself with her anymore! What she did… if you help her, it’ll only harm our family’s reputation!”
Theo frowned and rebuked her, “Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!”
Veronica insisted, “Bro, you shouldn’t concern yourself with that Ellinor anymore! She’s not worth it!”
The siblings were in a stalemate,
“Huh? Is Dad home early today? Granny, I’m hungry. Is dinner ready yet?”
Ellinor’s lazy voice suddenly rang out in the house.
Everyone was stunned, looking towards the source of the sound. They saw Ellinor, just woken up, slowly coming down the stairs.
Seeing her. Theo’s eyes relaxed, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Marissa suddenly sat up straight, her eyes filled with joy, “Ellinor, you’re home!”
Ellinor nodded, “Yes, Granny”
Veronica’s face suddenly stiffened, “You… how are you home? Weren’t you…?”
Ellinor yawned, “Is it strange that I’m home? Where else should I be?”
Veronica was confused. Morgan had just sent a message saying the matter was resolved. Why was Ellinor at home?
After thinking for a while, she came to her own conclusion, “Ellinor, how could you escape from the police? What you did was embarrassing enough, are you going to drag us, the Blanchet family, into it too?”
Ellinor tilted her head in confusion, “Police station? Why would I be at the police station?”
Veronica snorted, “Don’t play innocent, your scandal is all over the news, we all know! The police just called, you can’t hide it anymore, admit it!”
*Scandal?” Ellinor looked surprised, but she calmly walked over to the landline, “I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I can call back and ask what’s going on!”
With that, she picked up the phone and hit the redial button.
“Hello? Is this the police station? Hi, this is Ellinor. You just called me, is there something specific you need?”
