Chapter 86
“Alright, time to get real,” Ellinor looked at Veronica, her relaxed demeanour shifting to something mom serious.
Tm telling you all this because there’s really no need for you to go out of your way to get rid of me from the Blanchet family. Because when the time comes. I’ll leave on my own accord You couldn’t make me stay a second longer even if you wanted to.”
Veronica looked taken aback and confused, “What time? When?
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you know? Your brother married me just to keep your grandfather’s condition stable. Three months from now, when your grandpa’s health is completely under control, my marriage with your brother will be over Then, I’ll leave on my own. Whoever you want to be your sister–in–law, go ahead and make it happen Veronica frowned sceptically. “How can I be sure you’ll really leave? Hah, don’t think you can fool me! Every woman I’ve ever met wants to get close to my brother”
Ellinor laughed, “Ms Blanchet, did you misunderstand me, or did I not clarify myself? No matter how good your brother is, he’s not my type. I want to get as far away from him as possible as soon as possible I hope these three months will pass quickly.”
Veronica looked at Ellinor sceptically, lost in thought.
Was Ellinor really not lying? Did she really have no interest in her brother?
“By the way, if you don’t want me to have any strings attached with your brother when I leave, it’s best not to tell Grandma about the three months. You know her better than I do She’s dying to hold a grandchild. She’d definitely try to intervene if she knew that your brother and I don’t have a real marital relationship. Get it?”
With that Ellinor stood up, ready to leave
She said all this hoping Veronica would stop causing trouble. She didn’t have the time or energy to deal with it. Veronica, on the other hand, was a bit shell–shocked. If Ellinor never intended to stay in the Blanchet family, then all her efforts had been wasted! She had even landed herself in detention. Why, oh why!
“Ellinor Veronica called out to her again.
Ellinor stopped, turned, and asked, “What now?”
Veronica smirked arrogantly, “I believe what you just said I won’t oppose you for these three months. Get them to let me out!”
Ellinor smiled, “Sorry, but your actions today violated the law. Being detained is a reasonable punishment by the police. Just sit tight. It’s only fifteen days. Time will fly.”
Veronica protested, “I don’t want to stay here for fifteen days! Let me out! I want to get out! My brother can get me out! Get Theo to save me.”
Ellinor just ignored her, pushing open the interrogation room door and strolling out.
Coming out of the interrogation room, Ellinor saw Theo standing by a window deep inside the police station, talking to an older officer.
She stood too far away to hear their conversation. However, judging from the officer’s uniform, he must be at least a chief. He was very polite to Theo and kept explaining
something.
“Mr Blanchet, Im truly sorry. My subordinates mistook your wife for a suspect and interrogated her. They nearly arrested her, which was a mistake on our part. But those young men are recent graduates. They have no experience. I hope you can understand”
Theo replied indifferently. “Whether I understand or not is not important. What’s important is how my wife feels. They should be grateful that she’s not one to make a fuss
over small things”
Hearing that Mr Blanchet had no intention to pursue the matter, the chief breathed a sigh of relief, “Yes, Mrs Blanchet must be a very understanding woman! But we should still have those young men apologize to her.”
Theo didn’t say anything else
At that moment, the chief’s phone rang. He excused himself and stepped away to answer it.
Ellinor slowly walked over, a hint of sarcasm on her face, “What, were you planning to pull some strings to get your sister out?”
Theo looked at her coldly and said, “You’re overthinking it. I will respect the decision of the police.”
Hearing that, Ellinor looked surprised, “She’s your sister. Can you really abandon her just like that?!
Thea looked serious, “Veronica is an adult, not a child. She made a mistake, and she needs to face the consequences. Otherwise, she’ll never grow up”
Ellinor nodded approvingly. “Good You’re not one of those overprotective parents.”
She stretched lazily and headed out of the police station. As she walked out the front door, she could hear a man’s footsteps getting closer from behind.
Ellinor stopped and turned around, looking at the tall, handsome Theo following her, “Are you going to the hospital to see Grandma now?”
