    Chapter 13


    She excitedly grabbed the coat and demanded, “Ellinor, where did you borrow this from? How did


    you get in touch with a man who can afford such expensive clothes?”


    Ellinor nced at the dress nonchntly, “Is it pricey? A generous man lent it to me. I barely know


    him!”


    Seeing her clueless look and not appearing to be lying. She scornfully said,


    “I bet you wouldn’t know a man who can afford such high–end clothes! Wash it and return it when


    you’re done using it. Don’t get into trouble because of greed! A man with taste wouldn’t be into a


    country girl like you!”


    Ellinor casuallyughed, “Oh right, sis you didn’t answer my question. Where is your boyfriend?”


    She’s face instantly turned sour, seeing that Ellinor seemed unaware of the details, she faked it with,


    “Uh… I changed my mind about getting married yesterday, so I’m still single. There is no boyfriend!”


    Ellinor raised her eyebrows curiously. “You don’t want to get married? Why? The nchet family is


    top–notch. Don’t you like them?”


    She scoffed, “Top–notch family, so what! The man I want woulde running at the flick of my


    fingers! That Theo is almost thirty and yet has no girlfriend. He must have something wrong with him.


    Maybe he can’t have kids! So, even if he’s head over heels for me, I won’t marry him and be a


    widow”


    Ellinor wanted tough, and nodded, “Hmm, sis you really thought this through. Congrats on dodging a


    bullet!”


    After packing her stuff, Ellinor went downstairs, said a quick goodbye to Arnold, and then left the


    Mendoza family with her suitcase.


    Meanwhile, She sneakily followed Ellinor’s taxi in her car. She was curious about who the man that


    lent Ellinor the coat.


    The man who wore such high–end custom clothes must be a billionaire!


    Yesterday’s chaotic wedding made her lose all her dignity. If she could take this opportunity to find a


    rich and handsome man, she could finally lift her head in front of her rtives and friends!


    Ellinor’s taxi stopped in the old town.


    Ellinor got out of the taxi, walked into a small roadside restaurant with her suitcase, and sat down to


    order food alone.


    She sat in her car and shook her head.


    She thought Ellinor had stepped up, now that she was able to borrow such expensive branded clothes.


    But when she went to eat in the hole in the wall restaurant, She realized that Ellinor was just an


    ignorant country girl!


    Just as she was chuckling, there was a knock on her car window


    She rolled down the window and saw a stern–faced traffic cop.


    “You can’t park here! You’re viting traffic rules.”


    She retorted discontentedly. “There are no other vehicles here, what’s the problem with me parking


    here? I’m a public figure. I parked here because I was worried that I would be recognized by fans after


    getting out of the car and cause traffic congestion. This will also alleviate your work pressure, do you


    understand?”


    The traffic cop was unshaken, “No matter who you are, this is a pedestrian street, no one can park


    here! Your car is illegally parked. If you continue to not cooperate with the regtions, I will have your


    car towed. Those are the rules!”


    “Would you dare?”


    She took off her sunsses, “Look carefully at who I am! Do you know how many millions of fans I


    have on Twitter? Be careful, I’ll summon my fans toin about you!”


    The traffic cop barely nced at her and instantly picked up his walkie–talkie to call for a tow truck.


    She stomped her feet in anger and started bickering with the traffic cop like a shrew, attracting a


    crowd.


    But not many recognized her, everyone was criticizing her for not following the rules. She was no


    longer arrogant, and could only watch as her sports car was towed away by the tow truck. Then she


    saw Ellinor who had finished eatinging out of the restaurant.


    She remembered the important matter, so she didn’t care about her car anymore. She hastily left the


    crowd and followed Ellinor.


    Ellinor walked into arge shopping mall in the old town, and went straight to a luxury brand gship


    store. She started choosing clothes boldly.


    She, hiding in the dark, couldn’t believe her eyes!


    There was definitely something up with Ellinor! Where would she get the money to shop in luxury


    stores, and specifically pick the mostContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    expensive clothes?


    Seeing that Ellinor had finished choosing clothes and left through another door of the luxury store,


    She wanted to follow.


    But she was warmly stopped by the store manager, “Ms. Mendoza, the clothes you selected are


    already packed, would you like to pay ‘cash or card?”


    She was bewildered, “You must be mistaken! I just entered your store!”


    The store manager smiled, “Aren’t you the famous actress She? Your assistant came in earlier. She


    selected clothes for you ording to your size. We’ve already packed them for you, you just need to


    pay now.”


    She frowned, “What do you mean? I came alone, I didn’t bring an assistant, and I didn’t n on


    buying clothes from your store!”


    Some store clerks whispered…


    “Do you think she finds it too expensive and can’t afford it?”


    “You see, she’s wearing outdated styles from a couple of years ago!”


    “Other female celebrities are generous when theye to our store, this She looks a bit shabby. I


    heard she quit the industry a few days ago. Is she short of money…?”


    She angrily said, “Who said I can’t afford it? I just don’t like the styles in your store!”


    The store manager enthusiastically said, “Ms. Mendoza, rest assured, these styles are thetest of the


    season. They were personally designed by the master of fashion and are absolutely fashionable.


    However, if you are short of money, then it’s a pity….”


    “Who said I’m short of money? I’ve got plenty of it! Here, swipe the card!”


    The clerks‘ whispers left She no room to back down. She gritted her teeth, swiped her card, and


    spent tens of thousands. She finally understood. This was all the doing of that despicable woman


    Ellinor!


    Had Ellinor realized she was being followed a while ago? Bet that traffic cop was called over because


    she reported it!


    She came out of the luxury store with her shopping bags and quickly went after Ellinor. She wanted


    her to return her car and money. But she was a second toote. The moment she dashed out of the


    mall, she saw Ellinor hop into another cab.


    She quickly hailed a taxi to keep up.


    This time, Ellinor headed downtown. She got out, lugging her suitcase into a very swanky residence.


    She was gobsmacked. This was prime real estate in the city center. Whoever built a private house


    here must be rolling in it! That sly fox Ellinor just waltzed in like it was nothing? Could she really have


    found some big shot?


    Just then, a ck sedan pulled up and parked in front of the residence.


    Veronica was helped out of the car by a few maids. She had just got back from the hospital after an IV


    drip; herplexion was still not good.


    Seeing someone approaching, She walked over and asked, “Excuse me, could you tell me who lives


    here?”


    Veronica looked at She’s outdated outfit with disgust, “What do you do? How dare you ask around


    our doorstep?”


    She was taken aback. In front of Veronica, who was dressed from head to toe in designer clothes,


    she didn’t have much confidence. Sheughed awkwardly, “Um… I’m looking for my sister I saw her


    walk into this yard….”


    Veronica was somewhat impatient, “Your sister? Who’s your sister?”
