The interaction between the two seemed more than just friends, but not too intimate, yet it gave a vibe of closeness âDid Mr Blanchel pull her out?â Morgan was stunned, took a moment to think and then ventured, âDid you, the mistress, manage to snag the top spot?â
Ellinor looked up confidently at the man next to her, âSit, heâs saying Iâm your side chick! What do you think?â
She complained like a child to a parent, being utterly adorable in the process!
Theo narrowed his eyes at her, a hint of a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. Then, Theo turned his icy gaze to Morgan, âWhoâs the side chick? Say that again?
Morgan shrunk back nervously. âUh isnât she?â
Collin stepped forward, stating seriously, âMs Mendoza is the lawfully wedded wife of our Mr Blanchet.â
What?
Morgan was stunned. So, all he had seen. Ellinor and Mr Blanchet cuddling in the car, eating soup together in private, were not because they were lovers? But because they were legally married!
He was wrong! All wrong! He was screwed Not only had he offended the real Mrs Blanchet this time, but he had also gotten Ellinor fired from Nexus Industries. Who would have thought that this girl, Ellinor, would become the lady of the Blanchet family, Mrs Blanchet!
Morgan thought his mistake would, at most get him detained for a few days, but knowing heâd offended them, he feared he might be arrested permanently!
If not for the two cops being there, Morgan might have already been on his knees begging for mercy.
âMr Blanchet, Mrs Blanchet. Iâm sorry. I really didnât know the truth.â
*Please forgive me. Let me off the hook!â
âItâs her! Sheâs the one who masqueraded as Mrs Blanchet and tricked me into framing the real Mrs Blanchet!â
In his own interest, Morgan dragged Veronica into it.
Veronica was livid, âMorgan Shut up, stop spouting nonsense here!â
Knowing Veronica wasnât Mrs Blanchet, Morgan was no longer scared of her, âif Iâm lying how did you know my name is Morgan? No one has called me by my name from start to finish! Besides, the call you made to me, and the location info you sent me, are all recorded on my phone!â
Veronica was so mad she was almost speechless, âYouâre fabricating evidence. Youâre deliberately smearing me.â
The cop from earlier walked over, giving Veronica a stern look.
âNo wonder you were so sure earlier that Ms Mendoza was the prostitute from the hotel. It turns out you were involved in the whole setup. You didnât expect weâd catch the wrong person, just a woman dressed like Ms Mendoza!â
Veronicaâs face turned pale. She shook her head in denial, âNo, I didnât! Youâre talking nonsense!
Youâre framing me.â
âWhether youâre framed or not, weâll know after our investigation. The cop stepped forward, ready to take her in for questioning.
Veronica fiercely resisted, pushing the cop away, âGet off! Who are you? Why should I cooperate with your investigation? Help!â
Theo frowned, about to say something âTheo, ignore her!â
Marissa, who had just come to her senses, pointed at Veronica with great disappointment âLet the police investigate her thoroughly! Let me, an old woman, understand what kind of child Iâve spoiled over the years!â
