Chapter 1113
Ellinor squinted her eyes slightly, âWhat do you mean, has he hoodwinked me?â
Chase opened his mouth, seemed at a loss for words, and gently nudged Ida with his elbow, âIda,
you take over!â
Ida frowned, gave Chase a glance, then adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Ellinor with a
complicated expression.
"Boss, I see you getting along so well with Mr. Blanchet: you must be feeling on cloud nine. I didn't
want to spill the beans; perhaps being in the dark would be better.â
Ellinor knitted her brows, âYou know I hate beating around the bush. Spill it. What's up?â
Ida heaved a sigh, âWe found some issues with Mr. Blanchet, so Chase went over to M State to dig
up some dirt. It turns out that the Blanchet Corporation started several new projects, but Mr.
Blanchet didnât just go there for work.â
Ellinor's eyes became serious, âWhat else was he up to?â
Ida spilled the beans, âHe's been wining and dining almost every day with a woman named Sophia
in M State. Their relationship seemed fishy, so we looked into this Sophia, and we found...â
At that point, Ida paused, seeming hesitant.
Ellinor frowned, âFound what? Just spit it out. Donât make me keep prying!â
Ida took a deep breath, âWe found that Mr. Blanchet and this Sophia chick got hitched in M State,
and... they're still married.â
The room was dimly lit. Ellinor was sipping her juice through a straw, her facial expression hard to
read. After a long silence, she asked again, âDo you have any pictures of this woman?â
"Yes!" Chase responded, pulling out his phone and showing Ellinor the pictures he'd taken, âBoss,
take a look!â
Ellinor took Chase's phone and looked at the clear pictures. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
The girl in the photo was not a traditional beauty. She had an even tan, exotic features, a tight short
T-shirt on the top, and a miniskirt on the bottom, looking pretty sexy.
In the photos, she was with Theo, looking close and casual.
Theo usually kept women at arm's length; even Patricia Howard, who had helped him out, was kept
at a distance.
However, the girl in the picture had her arm intimately linked with his, and Theo didn't seem put
off.
Ellinor looked at the pictures for a long time, then snapped out of it and calmly handed the phone
back to Chase, âOkay, I get it. You guys can get back to your work.â
Chase and Ida exchanged glances, feeling that Ellinor's reaction was too calm.
âWhat's next? Boss, what are you going to do?" Chase asked with a worried tone.
Ellinor didn't respond. She just put down her juice, got up, and left the room.
What was next?
She didnât know.
Chase tried to follow her, but Ida held him back, âAlright, let boss be alone for a while. Don't follow
her!â
