Veronica stood with her hands on her hips, âHey! Ellinor, get dressed and get moving!
âWhy?â Ellinor raised an eyebrow, gave Veronica a nonchalant look, then continued to look at her phone.
She wasnât surprised when Veronica barged in. She had heard Veronica having a loud conversation with Devin at the door.
âWhy? Youâre asking me why? Since youâre in my house, you should follow the Blanchet family rules.
We Blanchets donât do lie ins! You think itâs like your house, where you can just laze around!â
Ellinor gave a slight chuckle, Tm your brotherâs wife in the Blanchet household, not yours. If your brother doesnât mind, why should you?â
Veronica was visibly upset. âYou really think youâre part of the Blanchet family? Donât think I donât know, my brother is not married to you yet! Strictly speaking. youâre not a Blanchet. But I am, so you listen to me!
Ellinor laughed and nodded, âUh-huh, Iâm listening. What do you want me to do?â
Veronica crossed her arms, âI want you to get up and work now. Stop freeloading off the Blanchet family!â
Ellinor asked curiously. âWork? What kind of work?â
Veronica said, âCleaning, cooking, thereâs work everywhere. Canât you see, you lazy bum?â
Ellinor was nonchalant. Those tasks seem to be done by professionals; I donât need to do them, do I?â
Veronica frowned, âWe do have professional maids to clean, but since youâre here, you should help.
Whatâs my brother brought you here for? Less talk, more work youâre mopping all the floors today!â
Ellinorâs phone was pointed at Veronica, and she languidly watched the phone screen, âTheo, youâve seen all this, right? Your family doesnât welcome me; your sister is more wicked than a TV villain!â
âGive her the phoneâ
After hearing Theoâs stern voice from Ellinorâs phone, Veronicaâs arrogance changed instantly. She finally realized that Ellinor wasnât just looking at her phone. She was calling Theo!
This was outrageous!
Ellinor was too cunning!
Ellinor was still lounging at the head of the bed. She smiled and beckoned Veronica, âCome on, your brother wants you to take the call.â
Veronica broke out in a cold sweat, and even her back got wet. She was so pissed that her face was pale, but she dared not refuse her brotherâs call.
She walked to the bed and took Ellinorâs phone. She saw the video call on the screen and saw that Theo was still in his car, not at the office yet.
THEOâ¦
âPack your things; Iâll have someone take you to your motherâs later.â
There was no expression on Theoâs face, and his tone was cold. Veronica knew she was in deep trouble.
They were half-siblings, but her mother had never been recognized by the Blanchet family and was unable to enter the Blanchet villa.
So far, she had been considered an unofficial family member at best.
Because she was of Blanchet blood and a girl, she was allowed by Theo to be brought up in the Blanchet villa.
Now Theo wanted to send her back to her mother. Was this not abandonment?
âTheo, I wonât leave!â
âThen apologize to her!â
