Chapter 882: Chapter 882

Veronica dragged Ellinor out of the store to prevent her from talking to Bartlett any further.

Once outside, she quickly let go of Ellinor, grumbling. “You’re such a tease!”

Ellinor didn’t care and simply looked around, asking, “What are we eating?”

Veronica grew even more pissed off after seeing Ellinor act so indifferent.

“I saw it! Bartlett’s phone wallpaper is your photo! Ellinor, not only are you tempting my brother, but you’re leading Bartlett on too!”

Ellinor had not noticed the detail on Bartlett’s phone screen and was even surprised when she heard Veronica say this. How did Bartlett have her photo?

After thinking for a while, she remembered that Bartlett seemed to have saved her photo when he was taking photos for Belinda at Peart Moon last time.

Bartlett really had no sense of propriety!

Ellinor walked towards the restaurant while nonchalantly responding to Veronica, “Even if I say I didn’t, you won’t believe me. Let’s stop talking about it and go eat; I’m starving!”

Veronica could only angrily follow her, annoyed by her carefree attitude.

They sat down in the restaurant, and after ordering, the food arrived, but Veronica had no intention of eating.

She just sat across from Ellinor, arms crossed, glaring at her as if Ellinor owed her a lot of money.

Ellinor was eating on her own. She looked up at Veronica’s creditor-like expression and asked, “Why are you so angry? Me chatting with other guys gives you a chance to tell your brother how wicked I am, doesn’t it?”

Veronica said discontentedly, “I’m afraid you’re going to do something behind my brother’s back that’s not right!”

Ellinor laughed, “Isn’t that exactly what you want? Isn’t that how you planned it before? That’s how you tried to get me kicked out of the Blanchet family so that your brother could find a woman that you approve of.”

Veronica was at a loss for words and utterly speechless.

Thinking about the time she plotted against Ellinor made her feel only shame. She really had been too much!

At that time, she didn’t actually plan that. It was during a phone call with Patricia that she accidentally heard a piece of gossip and impulsively had that malicious thought.

Now that she thought about it, she really had gone too far. Luckily, Ellinor was smart and didn’t fall into her trap.

For some reason, she seemed to feel it would be strange if her brother really did change his wife now.

“Ellinor, I know you have no feelings for Bartlett, but you have to understand that you’re gorgeous and men want to be around you. Be careful in the future; don’t let my brother down!”

Ellinor laughed, “Are you so worried that I’ll fail your brother?”

Veronica said awkwardly, “You’ve got my brother hooked on you, and there’s no saving him now; what can I do? Anyway, I can’t kick you out anymore.”

Ellinor chuckled and said, “You better eat up! You’re still struggling with basic math, and yet you’re worrying about adult problems.” Veronica’s face turned red, and she said a bit defiantly, “Hey! I am a year older than you!”

Ellinor continued to eat and replied, “As long as you know that.”

Veronica fell silent.

“Ellinor!”

Both of them were starving and started to focus on their food.

As Ellinor was eating, she heard a not-so-familiar voice calling her and for a moment, didn’t realize who it was.

Who was it this time? Why did she run into someone she knew as soon as she went out?

She turned her head to see a tall, slim boy in a white T-shirt and jeans walking towards them.
