Chapter 881

Ellinor pulled out a gold card from her pocket and handed it to Veronica, saying, “I lere, go swipe

this. No PIN needed,” Veronica came over, snatched the bank card from her, shot Ellinor a

displeased look, and then walked off to pay.

Watching Veronica leave, Bartlett raised an eyebrow in interest, “That's not Theo's card, is it?"

Ellinor was curious, “How do you know?"

Bartlett chuckled, “Cause Theo only has black cards, no gold ones.”

Black cards from the bank were exclusively issued to top-tier clients. It was not something money

alone could buy.

Gold cards, on the other hand, could be obtained once a client's assets reached a certain amount.

Bartlett straightened up a bit, “So you're using your own money to buy Veronica a bag? This place is

expensive, you know?"

“The bag is a gift I promised her. Sure, I could use Mr. Blanchet's card, but I don't like using other

people's stuff if I'm buying gifts!”

Bartlett gave her a look, “Seems like you still keep a pretty clear line between your money and

Theo's.”

Ellinor frowned slightly. Bartlett always loved to stir up trouble between her and Theo

She decided to ignore him, not saying a word and waiting for Veronica to finish paying so they

could go grab a bite.

But Bartlett didn't shut up, and he asked again. “Ellinor, do you think you know Theo well?"

Ellinor shot him an annoyed look, “I can’t say I know him super well, but I'm learning more about

him every day.”

Bartlett laughed, “Wrong. You don't know him at all. If you really knew him, you wouldn't want to

marry him.”

Ellinor knitted her brows; she was getting a bit pissed, “Mr. Rex, I suggest you stop guessing or

presuming other people's intentions. It's not a good habit!”

With that, she put down her coffee cup and got up, choosing not to wait for Veronica but going to

find her instead.

Staying here would only encourage Bartlett to keep stirring the pot. It was so annoying!

She didn't understand how Theo could be friends with someone like him. He seemed all prim and

proper, but he was actually quite calculating.

She should have never helped him ditch that blind date in the first place.

Ellinor found Veronica, who was holding the bag she just bought.

They were just about to leave the store when Bartlett followed them. He asked politely, “Where are

you two headed? I can give you a ride.” Veronica, who was originally excited about her new bag,

frowned when she saw Bartlett trying to butt in again. She looked at Ellinor warily. Ellinor replied

coldly. “No, thanks; we're just gonna grab some food nearby.”

Bartlett obviously wasn't planning on giving up, “May I have the pleasure of joining you for a

meal?”

Ellinor gave him a displeased look, “Didn't you just eat with Ms. Lewis? Don't stuff yourself!”

Bartlett shrugged. He knew he wasn't welcome.

He'd let it slide this time since Veronica was here.

If it were just Ellinor, he would have definitely forced his way in.

So, Bartlett took out his phone and waved it at Ellinor, “Alright, I won't disturb you two ladies’ meal

and chat today. Ellinor, see you later!”
