Even if this room really used to be hers, it was now completely unrecognizable after Balfourâs renovation.
Ellinor didnât respond, which rubbed Patricia the wrong way. She thought for a moment, put on a warm smile, and said, âHey, Ellinor, I can give you the clothes I donât wear anymore, so you donât have to buy any!â
Ellinor shot her a look but didnât respond, letting Patricia soak in her own implications.
Patricia felt a chill from Ellinorâs gaze. Pretending to have an aha moment, she said, âOh, silly me, I forgot, youâre part of the Blanchet family now, and with Theo taking care of you, you surely donât lack money for stuff like this.â
As she said this, Patricia looked Ellinor up and down, âBut the clothes you usually wear seem quite cheap; has Theo not been giving you money for clothes?â
Ellinor couldnât find anything familiar or any clues about her past in Patriciaâs room.
She turned to face Patricia and said, âHow could he give me anything if heâs broke?â
Patricia was stunned, then she laughed, âAre you pulling my leg? Theo is the heir to the Blanchet family and the CEO of Blanchet Corporation; how could he possibly not have money to give you?â
Ellinor nonchalantly said, âHis credit cards are with me; he doesnât have a dime on him, what can he give me? In fact, he has to kiss up to me to get some pocket moneyâ
That jab hit Patricia where it hurt!
Who wouldâve thought that Ellinor had such a grip on Theo?
Ellinor added, âBesides, I donât need a lot of clothes as long as Iâm comfortable. Mr. Blanchet likes me best when Iâm au naturel.â
The smile on Patriciaâs face froze as her fingers clenched into a fist and her nails dug into her palm.
This is what she hated most about Ellinor.
Ellinor, who was always simple and makeup-free, had effortlessly won Theoâs heart. It was a slap in the face to Patricia.
As for Patriciaâs room, Ellinor couldnât care less about it, âLetâs move on, Ms. Howard. Show me the next room.â
Patricia snapped back to reality and forced a smile, âSure, Ellinor, letâs check out my brotherâs room!â
Ellinor had even less interest in Balfourâs room, so she just stood at the door and didnât go in.
Patricia waved her in from inside the room, âEllinor, why donât you come in and have a look? Come, let me show you my brotherâs watch collection, theyâre all top-notch!â
Ellinor shook her head, âNo need. Itâs not appropriate for me to enter Balfourâs room when heâs not here. Letâs go somewhere else.â
Patricia confidently said, âItâs no big deal! I can always go into my brotherâs room freely! Ellinor, donât worry, even if he knows, he wonât get angry with you.â Ellinor wasnât interested. Balfourâs room was simple and she had seen enough, Iâm not interested in menâs watches, so thereâs nothing to see. Letâs go!â
Patricia couldnât persuade her, and had no other tricks up her sleeve, âThen let me show you my parentsâ room next.â
