At the same time, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city.
Ellinor was quietly eating dinner alone, watching TV This was Bartlettâs villa, where she had been living for nearly half a year.
When she initially escaped from the Blanchet family, her plan was to wait for things to cool down, then hitch a ride on Bartlettâs private jet But, to her surprise, things didnât quiet down. Theo kept sending people to track her down, keeping a close watch on all major public transportation.
Although Bartlett had a private jet that could help her escape, it still needed to be reported to the aviation authorities before taking off, and the passenger list had to be honestly provided Given Theoâs determination, escaping on a private jet probably wouldnât evade his surveillance So she had no choice but to accept Bartlettâs arrangement again and come to his villa on the outskirts of the city.
It was far from the city, so no one would see her Bartlett also arranged for trustworthy servants to take care of her, and a delivery truck would come regularly.
In fact, she wasnât short of places to stay. Chase and Ida also had many properties she could choose from.
But she couldnât stay at her friendsâ houses because Theo would definitely start looking for her through Chase and Ida.
Honestly, she didnât know how long she could hide, but she definitely didnât want to go back to being the illegal Mrs. Blanchet.
What was she? Theoâs mistress?
There was no formal marriage certificate between them.
Even though she had said before that she didnât care about these formalities, he couldnât marry other women while she bore his children.
That was too much!
As she was eating and thinking wildly, she received a new message on her phone.
The phone she was using now was with a number that Bartlett gave her, so she wasnt worried about being found out.
The message was a string of Morse code from a stranger After reading the Morse code, Ellinorâs face became complicated.
It was a message from Ida. Ida and Chase always sent her messages from different numbers very carefully and they only communicated in Morse code. This time, Idaâs message was that the new office building of the Blanchet Corporation was about to be completed. There would be a ribbon-cutting ceremony in three days, and the Blanchet Corporation insisted that Moon herself must attend the ceremony. Otherwise, they would refuse to pay the final payment on the grounds of breach of contract She negotiated that order herself, and of course she knew the amount of the order. This was a lot of money, and it was no joke!
Ellinor looked down at her noticeably pregnant belly, feeling a bit troubled.
If her belly wasnât so obvious, she could find an excuse to wear a mask like last time and attend the event, claiming she was allergic to UV rays.
Theo wasnât the kind of guy who would force her to do something against her will and make her take off the mask.
