Chapter 904
Balfour, familiar with his sister’s stubborn streak, heaved a weary sigh before asking in confusion, “What did she just call you?”
Quinton felt a bit uneasy under his boss’s scrutiny. “Uh… Ms. Mendoza has always been polite to me and has called me brother before.”
“Humph.”
Quinton fell silent.
Due to the surveillance camera in the elevator, Patricia had always been very cautious, afraid that talking to Ellinor in the elevator would be proof of her twisted ways that her brother could see. They kept silent until they left the Howard Group’s building and got in the car, only then did Patricia sneer.
“Ellinor, you’re really something for getting my brother to treat you so well!”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Ellinor yawned, obviously bored. She didn’t even glance at Patricia, and told the driver in front. “Driver, take me to the Blanchet villa first.”
Patricia rolled her eyes at Ellinor in disgust and sneered, “Ellinor, I bet you haven’t married Theo yet, right?”
Ellinor’s eyes flashed, and she furrowed her brows and looked at Patricia.
Now that Ellinor finally reacted, Patricia knew she was right and smirked, “I knew Theo wouldn’t marry you! Oh, Ellinor, so what if you entered the Blanchet family? You are only a temporary Mrs. Blanchet, and before long, you’ll be dumped by the Blanchet family.”
Patricia’s outburst raised Ellinor’s suspicion; she asked seriously, “Oh? Why is Ms. Howard so certain he won’t marry me?”
Patricia glanced at Ellinor, “Because of your background. You don’t have the status to be Mrs. Blanchet. In our wealthy families, we value social status above everything.
Theo likes you now, so spoiling you for a year or two is okay, but one day he’ll get tired! Are you under the impression that because you’re carrying the Blanchet family’s child, you can secure your position in the Blanchet family? You’re sorely mistaken!
When the time comes, the Blanchet family can keep the child, and Theo can marry a lady of his own class as his wife.
Of course, there’s another important reason Theo won’t marry you!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “What’s this important reason?”
She didn’t think Theo was the kind of person who cared about matching social status, but Theo indeed seemed to avoid dealing with their marriage certificate, which made her have to care.
Seeing Ellinor so curious, Patricia’s smile revealed a hint of triumph, “Ellinor, it seems you don’t know Theo! I thought you were important to Theo! Turns out he doesn’t tell you everything! You seem to know less than me!”
Ellinor didn’t feel like comparing who knew Theo better with her; she furrowed her brows, “What’s the important reason?”
After finally finding a way to get at Ellinor, Patricia had no intention of letting her off easy.
“Ellinor, do you want to know? I just don’t want to tell you! You should go ask Theo! Ask him why he doesn’t want to get a marriage certificate with you. But I don’t think he’ll tell you.”
Ellinor found Patricia deliberately withholding the information boring, so she didn’t ask further, turned her head, and closed her eyes to rest, ignoring Patricia.
By the time they arrived at the Blanchet villa, it was already past two in the afternoon.
