Chapter 265: Chapter 265

The boss seems to be in a sour mood today, huh?

Chase, realizing that he might have put his foot in his mouth and ticked off the boss, hurriedly came over to apologize, “Boss, my bad, I’ll be more careful next time.

Ellinor, who was just slightly irritated and not exactly mad at Chase, gave him a helpless look, “All right, quit playing the victim! Have you noticed the works of Lady Lotus. popping up in the market lately?”

Chase got serious and replied. “No, foreign artists have mainly dominated the art market lately Works by local artists are pretty rare”

Ellinor squinted, her expression serious, “Hmm, keep an eye on it for me.”

“Sure thing, boss!”

Ever since discovering that she wasn’t Arnold’s biological daughter, Ellinor became even more desperate to find clues about her mother.

She wanted to know what’s her real story.

“Who was her biological father? Why did they abandon her and her mother?

Why did her mother leave her at the hospital and disappear, letting a man with no blood relation to her adopt her?

What on earth happened back then?”

She wanted answers to all these questions Seeing that the boss was slightly off, Ida signaled Chase, “Chase, go grab some late–night snacks.

The boss might be hungry.”

Chase frowned, clearly not pleased, “Ida, are you kidding me? I just took a shower. Why don’t you go get food for the boss?”

Ignoring his complaints, Ida continued, “Get a box of donuts, too, the boss likes those”

Chase huffed, mumbling. “What a tough life I have!”

Despite his grumbles, he quickly changed clothes, grabbed his car keys, and headed out the door.

Once Chase left, Ida turned to look at Ellinor thoughtfully. “Boss, I heard something today”

Ellinor snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Ida, “Oh? What did you hear?”

“I heard that the second miss of the Howard family is back. Some guy arranged a sea of pink tulips for her at Pearl Moon. Also, this LED proposal was on the Century Bank building by the Trent River and drone love message…I saw it accidentally when I was hanging laundry on the balcony.

Upon hearing Ida’s story, Ellinor instinctively looked at the floor–to–ceiling windows in the living room, and sure enough, she could clearly see the LED proposal on the Century Bank building…

Their house had the best river view in Greenhaven, with an excellent view of the complete river scene.

Ida asked again, “Did Mr. Blanchet do all those things for Patricia?”

Ellinor nodded lightly. “Yes, it was him.”

“What’s their relationship?”

“They were supposedly together but were forced to separate. I’m not exactly sure about the details:

“Boss, you seem a bit down today” A glint flashed across Ida’s gold rimmed glasses as she spoke seriously. “So, boss… Are you jealous because of this?”

“Uh, uh, uh…”

Ellinor choked on her milk; her eyes became teary
