Chapter 36


    Chapter 36


    Theo kept a poker face. “Maybe it wasn’t necessary before, but during our marriage it was. I won’t


    allow my reputation to be tarnished. So, any thoughts of getting cozy with other men can’t happen


    again.”


    Ellinor rolled her eyes, turned her gaze to the street view outside the car window, and let out a sarcastic


    snort. “You can’t even hold yourself to that, yet you expect me to? Aren’t you also secretly meeting


    other women in public?”


    Theo looked deeply at her. “Are you jealous?”


    Ellinor seemed confused and pulled a grimace. “Jealous? We aren’t really husband and wife! I’m


    pissed off. I’m pissed off that you forcibly kissed me without any notice and nearly suffocated me!”


    Theo lightly raised his eyebrows. “If I recall correctly, you didn’t give me any notice thest time you


    kissed me.”


    Ellinor was momentarily speechless and her brows furrowed. “Cough! That’s different, isn’t it? I just


    pecked you lightly. I didn’t even use my tongue…”


    Theo smiled slightly. “Didn’t do what?”


    His yful tone made Ellinor blush, and she shut up in annoyance, saying, “Nothing!”


    To be honest, she’d rather choose to kiss that unfamiliar man, the brief acquaintance she met in the


    bar. It would just be a nd kiss and they would never cross paths again.


    Unlike Theo, whose influence in Greenhaven was so vast that today’s incident would surely stir up a lot


    of trouble!


    She hoped to keep a low profile during these three months, letting as few people know about her


    rtionship with Theo as possible. After three months, she couldpletely cut ties and have nothing


    more to do with the nchet family.


    As she was pondering, her phone rang again.


    Ellinor nced at the caller ID; it was her father, Arnold.


    Arnold calling at this time probably meant She was stirring up trouble again.


    Ellinor answered the phone, and as expected, her father’s tone was as irritable as she expected,


    audible even without speakerphone.


    “Ellinor, what disgraceful thing have you done out there?! Come home and exin right now!”


    Ellinor rubbed her temples. “Dad, I’m a bit tired today, I’lle back tomorrow.”


    Arnold barked, “No way! What on earth have you done to be so tired? Come back right now!”


    Ellinor didn’t want to argue any further, so she hung up the phone and turned it off.


    Arnold’s shouts over the phone were clearly audible in the quiet car.


    Theo nced at the financial report on his phone, reading quickly. He then casually asked, “Do you


    need me to go with you?”


    Ellinor shook her head. “Just some family matters; there’s no need to bother you.”


    The ck sedan dropped Ellinor off at the front door of the nchet family’s old mansion and drove


    away. Theo didn’t go with her. This was for the best; the nchet family’s olddy was at home; they


    didn’t need to pretend to be affectionate in front of her to avoid giving the game away.


    Ellinor went upstairs to her room, feeling terrible. She turned on herputer and logged into her


    game.


    Ding ding!

    A private message from a gaming friend came.


    Sunset Avenué: “Ellinor, you finally logged in!”


    This gaming friend named “Sunset Avenue” was the one who was tricked by Debby and sessfully


    paralyzed the entire system of Nexus Industries.


    Since the time she infiltrated the AJ Alliance’s encryption system and negotiated with this person, he


    had been pestering her, insisting on bing her apprentice.


    Although she didn’t agree, this person insisted on calling her “mentor.”


    Ellinor typed back, “Did you need something?”
