Chapter 2


    Chapter 2


    The crowd below the stage had different expressions as they chattered away…


    “This is Mr. nchet’s fiancée? Why is she dressed like a street punk?”


    “Shouldn’t Mr. nchet’s woman be an elegant and beautifuldy? What the hell is that?”


    “Hmm, Mr. nchet’s taste is rather… unique.”


    Ellinor had deliberately dressed like a punk to scare off potential husbands. But Theo didn’t seem to


    mind that his fiancée’s image was being discussed. More urately, he didn’t even care that his taste


    was being questioned, so he waspletely unmoved.


    Under the strange gazes of the guests, Ellinor had no choice but to exchange engagement rings with


    Theo.


    The host announced that the ceremony was over!


    Although everyone was a bit ufortable with Mr. nchet’s choice of fiancée, they didn’t dare not


    to apud for the sake of Mr. nchet’s face.


    The apuse erupted.


    After leaving the stage, all Ellinor wanted was to get away and escape this ce of drama.


    But she was surrounded by three exquisitely dressed women who blocked her way.


    “Whose daughter are you?”


    “Why did youe dressed like that?”


    “Do you think you’re worthy of standing next to Mr. nchet?”


    Ellinor just bypassed them, not wanting to deal with them.


    But these women blocked her way again, refusing to back down.


    She lost her patience, nced at their morous dresses, “You’re all dressed up, but why don’t I see


    any of you standing next to Mr. nchet?”


    “You…”


    These three socialites were daughters of wealthy families in Greenhaven. Had they ever faced such


    sarcasm? They blocked her, demanding an apology, and were even more reluctant to let her go.


    Not far away, Jonah walked over and clinked sses with Theo.


    “Theo, where did you find this female thug? If you take her home to your old man, he’ll probably drop


    dead!”


    Theo replied in an uncaring tone, “The old man just wants a daughter–inw, and any woman will do.”


    Jonahined, “There are so many women in the world, why did you have to choose a thug to


    marry?”


    Theo sipped his wine, as if reminiscing about something.

    “Because, she’s a sweet girl.”


    Jonah was stunned, looking at his normally reserved brother with iprehension, “I never realized


    this before, but you have quite the taste!”


    Ssh! A ss of wine was spilled on Ellinor!


    Jonah turned to look, raising his eyebrows, “Your fiancée seems to be getting bullied. Aren’t you going


    to do something?”


    Theo squinted, “No need ”


    Before Jonah could figure out what Theo meant, he saw Ellinor grab a socialite’s hair and knock their


    heads together like she was pping a watermelon, causing the two women to collide severely!


    The two socialites immediately fell unconscious, and the remaining one was scared out of her wits.


    “You…you…you….”


    Ellinor was expressionless. She didn’t say a word, just waved her hand lightly.


    Thest socialite immediately backed away and no longer blocked the way.


    Jonah gave a slight smile.


    I think I understand why you chose her.”


    Theo’s eyes were meaningful; he was silent as he sipped his wine.


    The young woman was able to approach him quickly, and could force a big man like him to bend down


    and kiss her with just one hand. She was strong and daring, truly an extraordinary woman!


    “Collin, take her to change.”


    “Yes, Mr. nchet.”


    Ellinor didn’t go with Collin to change, but walked over and looked at the man unhappily.


    “You, you’re really unfair! I just gave you a light kiss, and you want me to give myself to you. The price


    is too high, can I bemitted to you in another way? Likemitted to financialpensation?”


    Theo’s eyes were captiviting and sparkling. He smiled slightly, looking at Ellinor, “Hmm? How much do


    you think my kiss is worth?”


    Ellinor first looked at the man’s face, then carefully assessed his fine–looking thin lips.


    “I don’t know, you set the price yourself! You look like you’re not young anymore, and this shouldn’t be


    your first kiss, so the price should not exceed thirty dors. I don’t have that much money!”


    “How dare you!”


    Thirty dors?


    Collin thought the woman was asking for trouble. Being engaged to Mr. nchet should be a blessing


    umted from her past life. How dare she look down on the honorable Mr. nchet?


    Theo raised his hand to signal his men to step back. Then his long fingers pinched Ellinor’s sharp chin.


    His grip was not strong, but it was threatening.


    “Little girl, since you have the guts to tease me in public, you should be prepared to face the


    consequences, okay?”


    Ellinor frowned. She felt that this man had some issues. Her outfit today was not outstanding, so why


    was he pestering


    her?


    Ellinor lifted the corner of her mouth. Her eyes sparkled, and she said without hesitation, “Okay! Can I


    go to the bathroom


    now?”


    Theo didn’t answer. He just nced at his men, signaling them to take her to the bathroom.


    A few minutester, Collin came back with a serious look on his face, approaching Theo.


    “Mr. nchet, Ms. Mendoza has escaped through the bathroom window. I’ve sent people to chase her.”


    Theo was elegantly dressed. He seemed to have expected this so he leaned back on the sofa. His face


    expressionless as he swirled the red wine in his ss.


    “Don’t bother chasing her, find out her home address, and send someone to pick her up.”


    “Yes.”


    After watching the whole drama, Jonah couldn’t help but give Theo some advice, “Theo, do you really


    want to marry that little girl who obviously doesn’t suit you? Actually….”


    Theo said meaningfully, “Only a woman like her can be my wife.”


    When Ellinor returned home, it was alreadyte at night. The moment she walked in, her dad, Arnold,


    was all set to smack


    her.


    “You dare show your face here!”


    Quick as a cat, Ellinor stepped back and dodged the p with ease.


    Arnold was pissed off big time when he saw Ellinor manage to dodge his p.


    “Ellinor, your mother painstakingly picked out a suitable man for you. How could you dress so casually


    to meet him? You


    even kissed a random man in public. You’re making the Mendoza family lose face! Your actions have


    caused your mother to be criticized! Apologize. Apologize to your mother now!”


    Sliding her hands into her coat pockets, Ellinor gave him a cold stare, “She’s not my mother!”


    She was her stepmother, who’s trying to marry Ellinor off so that she would lose the Mendoza family


    inheritance!


    Feigning concern, Tracy said, “Arnold, I’m fine. Don’t me Ellinor; she’s young and naive. It’s my fault


    as the stepmother….”


    Seeing his wife defending the misbehaving girl even at this point, Arnold was even more heartbroken.


    He turned around and reprimanded, “You are so ungrateful! Tracy’s been so good to you, and you can’t


    even bring yourself to call her mom!”


    Wiping away tears, Tracy, looking all pitiful, said, “Arnold, it’s okay! She can call me Auntie Tracy. I


    don’t mind!”


    Ellinor was not surprised at Tracy’s act. This woman was a pro at ying the victim. Arnold was just too


    blinded by her beauty to see it!


    Ellinor handed Arnold a folder filled with information, “Dad, here’s the real scoop on all the guys Auntie


    Tracy set me up with. Take a look, if you find someone suitable, I’ll marry him.”


    Arnold was taken aback, he picked up the folder and began to flip through it, his expression getting


    grimmer and grimmer…
