Veronica furrowed her brows, eyeing Ellinor hesitantly. âAre you suspecting that her husband isâ¦â
There was a shadow of doubt in Ellinorâs mind, but she felt her suspicion didnât quite add up.
Could it really be Theo?
Even if Sophia managed to snag Theo and elude their investigation, how could Theo willingly stay with such a scheming woman and even have a child with her?
âNever mind; I donât even know what Iâm suspecting. She said her husbandâs last name is Rogers, so maybe weâre overthinking it.â
Everyone decided not to mention to Ellinor that she had actually given birth to triplets, fearing it would upset her. Veronica, however, knew the truth. She had a gnawing suspicion that the child Sophia was carrying was the first baby Ellinor had given birth to.
Veronica gritted her teeth. âIâm going to find out who her husband really is!â
Ellinor simply shrugged off Veronicaâs intense reaction and sipped her juice through a straw.
She didnât think a strong-willed man like Theo would willingly stay by Sophiaâs side and be controlled by her, let alone have a child with her.
However, she would need to look into Sophiaâs purpose for returning to the country.
After dinner with the kids, Veronica didnât join them in the car, claiming, she was going to visit a friend.
She hailed a cab and left.
Ellinor simply reminded her to come home early and took the kids back home.
Veronica headed straight to the Crescent Society.
Crescent Society.
As soon as Ida returned from a meeting, she found Veronica waiting outside her office, looking grave.
âMiss Blanchet,what brings you here? Is there something you need?â
She adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her face as she asked.
Veronica rose to her feet, nodding solemnly. âYes! Thereâs a situation.â
A situation?
Ida instinctively thought it had something to do with the boss. She ushered Veronica into her office.
âHave a seat, Miss Blanchet. Whatâs the situation you just mentioned?â
Without taking a seat, Veronica began. âToday, Ellinor and I took the kids out. She said she saw Sophia at the preschool gate.â
Hearing Sophiaâs name after such a long time made Ida pause and raise an eyebrow. âSo she saw her.
Did she do anything to our boss?â
Veronica shook her head. âNo, not yet. But Ellinor said Sophia was carrying a child. She also said sheâs married now, and her husbandâs last name is Rogers. Miss Gipson, havenât you been monitoring Sophiaâs every move all these years? Have you noticed her getting married? Who is her husband? And when did she have this child?â
Ida frowned. âShe has a child? We did have people keeping tabs on her and Thaddeus International Corporation, but we didnât notice anything unusual. Thaddeus is very good at counter-surveillance and often gives our people a run for their money. Also, Sophia has been traveling to various cities on her familyâs private jet for years. They have their own airport, which is a hard nut for us to crack.â
