Chapter 1216
Belinda subtly nudged Theo with her elbow. âMy auntie actually enjoys her peace and quiet! She's a
lone wolf!â
What she meant was that she hoped her uncle would understand Ellinor. Since they haven't seen
each other in a long time, they should sit down and have a good chat.
Theo stifled a laugh. âDidn't she already tell you to call her by her name? Why are you calling her
Auntie again?â
Belinda suddenly remembered that, but she couldn't change her habit immediately.
Plus, she had no plans to change her way of addressing her anytime soon.
What did her uncle mean? Was he really planning to break up with Ellinor?
Theo's words felt like a jab to Ellinor, as if he were implying that she was pretending to be aloof.
She was used to Belinda calling her that, but because she was distracted, she didn't react
immediately.
Belinda wanted to lighten the mood, but it only made things more awkward. She decided to zip it.
Idaâs office at Crescent Society.
Ida had just arranged for some snacks for Byran to munch on while she dealt with her work.
But when her assistant informed her that Ellinor had gotten into Theo's car below the building, Ida
shot up. âWhat? Where is Theo taking her?â
The assistant shrugged. âThey said they needed closure. Even Ellinor doesn't know where they're
headed.â
Ida was annoyed. âYou let her get into the car without knowing the destination? Why didn't you go
with her?â
The assistant muttered. âThe car was full with Belinda, Theo's former assistant, and Jacob from our
firm. Plus, Ellinor didn't want me to come.â
Frustrated, Ida picked up her phone to call Ellinor.
Byran, who was lounging on the couch with a cola, saw Idaâs anxiety and reassured her. âIda, why so
tense? Ellinor got into Theo's car, not some crookâs!â
Ida shot him a glare. âWhat's the difference between Theo and a crook?â
Byran disagreed. âI can't speak for Theo's behavior towards others, but he's always been good to
Ellinor. Don't worry, he won't hurt her.â
Ida scoffed. âYou think he hasn't hurt her?â
Byran looked confused. âTheo hurt her? From what I see, Ellinor has always been the one hurting
Theo. She left him twice, which is more than anyone could take.â
Ida was very irritated. âIf you have nothing else to do, go back to school. Stop hovering around
me!â
Ida's response made Byran immediately become submissive. âIda, don't be mad at me. I've got
nothing to do with this.â
âThen just sit here quietly and don't cause more trouble!â

After saying this, Ida quickly left with her phone.
She called Ellinor, but no one answered. She was very worried, so she went to Chase to discuss a
solution.
As she opened the door to Chase's office, she saw him slumped over his desk in despair. If one
didn't know better, they would think he was drunk in broad daylight.
Ida walked up and gently knocked on the table. âWake up! We've got a problem!â
