Chapter 516
Theo was cut off by the ringing of Ellinor's phone.
Ellinor's gown had no pockets, so she had been holding her phone in her hand
She lifted the phone and glanced at the caller ID that displayed a call from âHubby.â
Hubby?
She was baffled. When did she save this number? Since when did she have a husband?
Just then, Theo's cold and angry voice broke the silence. âSo this is why you left a month ago?â
Ellinor snapped back to reality, looked up, and saw Theo towering over her, his eyes blazing with
fury.
She had never seen such a terrifying expression on him before, and for a moment she was stunned
A malicious smirk hung on the corner of Theo's mouth and he said sarcastically, âYou've found a
new hubby in just a month; you're really something, Ms. Mendoza!*
Ellinor was dumbfounded. No, she was just as confused!
âAnswer it!â Theo said in a cold tone.
Ellinor didnât answer and declined the call.
The only possibility she could think of was that Chase Larios was calling her back.
Chase was probably playing a prank and had changed the name in her contacts without her
noticing.
And she didn't want Theo to know about her relationship with Chase and the Crescent Society
So, she couldn't answer the call and couldn't let Theo hear Chase's voice..
Theo snorted when he saw her decline the call. âWhy don't you answer? Afraid your current hubby
will find out you're with your ex?*
Ex?
Ellinor was puzzled. This gentleman actually claimed to be her ex-husband
Theo's sarcasm made her uncomfortable. After thinking about it, she didn't want to explain and
didn't need to explain to him, so she said imitably, âI won't answer! We had a fight and I donât want
to talk to him. I haven't forgiven him yet!â
Theo was taken aback for a moment and in the next second, his eyes became even colder.
If Ellinor was acting all lovey-dovey, he might have suspected that the hubby was fake and she was
putting on a show to avoid him.
But a fight? Only two people who were intimate would fight.
So she really had a husband!
Theo's face was as cold as frozen ice and his tone was flat but icy. âWho is he? When did it start?â
Ellinor cleared her throat awkwardly, âMr. Blanchet, who my husband is has nothing to do with you.
You can rest assured that during our collaboration, I did nothing
to betray you and or cheat on you. I left because our partnership had ended. It was exactly three
months, not a minute more, not a second less.â
Theo's face turned even uglier and he looked at her coldly, âEllinor, you're really something!"
Ellinor felt a bit guilty about the assumed husband situation, but when she thought of how this man
had once cheated on her feelings, she suddenly had some thoughts of revenge and lifted her head
proudly. âThank you for the compliment!â
Finally, the car exited the highway, ending this torturous journey.
Ellinor said, âThanks Could you stop the car at the side of the road? I can call a cab to go home!â
However, the driver showed no intention of stopping.
Collin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also pretended not to hear
If the boss didn't speak, how could he dare to stop the car?
Realizing this, Ellinor turned to the emotionless man again, âMr. Blanchet, could you ask your driver
to stop and let me out?â
Without even glancing at her. Theo said coldly, âAddressâ
Ellinor was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Theo was asking for her current address.
