Theo bent slightly towards her and asked, âDid I do something wrong again?â
Ellinor jutted out her chin, âIs it my fault then?â
âAlright, alright, Iâm at fault!â Theo chuckled, âAre you heading to the company with me?â
Ellinor shook her head, âNo. I want you to drop me off at the Howard familyâs house.â
Theo looked at her and asked, âWhatâs up with you going there alone?â
Every time she meets the Howard family, something unpleasant always happens.
Naturally. Theo couldnât feel at ease..
Ellinor said in a serious tone, âI need to sort out the online mess. This has been a serious issue since yesterday, so I need to handle it.â
Theo paused slightly, then caught her drift, âIs it Patriciaâs doing?â
Ellinor affirmed and stated, âShe is quite extreme. If she cannot have you, she intends to ruin me, sparing neither you nor the Blanchet Corporation.â
Theo frowned, âLetâs go together then.â
Ellinor shook her head, âYou should be at the company right now, stabilizing the Blanchet Corporationâs stock market. I can handle things here on my own.â
Theo knitted his brows, somewhat disgruntled, âSo you donât need me anymore?â
Ellinor knew he was worried. She told him in a solemn tone, âItâs not that I donât need you, itâs just that there are things that are more important. If the Blanchet Corporationâs stocks keep dropping, your grandfather might even want to murder me.â
Understanding his grandfather, Theo recognized that she made sense. He gently stroked her hair and said, âIâm okay with not going with you, but you have to let Balfour accompany you today.â
Mentioning Balfour, Ellinor seemed unhappy, âI donât want to deal with him.â
In fact, the relationship between Theo and Balfour was also just soâso, but he knew Balfour cared a lot about her.
Previously, Balfour had prejudices against her because he didnât know she was his own sister.
But now, as long as Balfour was present, he wouldnât let others bully her.
He would only go to the company if Balfour was with her.
Theo said softly, âIf you donât want to deal with him, then donât. But he must be there. Otherwise, I canât rest easy letting you go alone.â
Ellinor reluctantly nodded, âOkay then. Whatever!â
âGood girl.â He tenderly stroked her head, âIâll go to the company first, then pick you up, okay?â
Ellinor replied, âOkay.â
They got into the car. Theo buckled her seat belt and then dialed Balfourâs number.
At this time, Balfour was on his way to the company, looking at the stock market, worrying about the Blanchet Corporation In the past, he wouldnât care about the Blanchet Corporation no matter what, since their family relations werenât good.
But now things have changed. His most cherished sister unexpectedly married into the Blanchet family, so he had to put aside those family feuds. For Ellinorâs sake, he decided to help the Blanchet family resolve this issue as much as possible.
The online rumors were all about Ellinor. If they continued to develop, her days in the Blanchet family wouldnât be easy.
Balfour was thinking about how to help the Blanchet Corporation stabilize the turbulence in the stock market. His phone rang, and the caller was Theo.
He raised an eyebrow with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
