    She snapped out of her shock over the massive check, throwing Ellinor a venomous look, and


    sneered, “Pfft, where else could she get the money from? She must have swindled it out of Mr.


    nchet with her shameless tactics!”


    Tracy, of course, was on her daughter’s side. “Ellinor, you’re taking a big risk by messing with the


    nchet family’s money. Arerit you afraid Mr. nchet will find out and hold you ountable?”


    Ellinor chuckled “Auntie Tracy you seem to have forgotten a crucial piece of information. The Mr.


    nchet you’re talking about is my husband So theoretically, his money is my money Just like how


    you’ve been spending your husband’s money for all these years Has he ever held you ountable?”


    Tracy’s face tumed a ghastly shade, going from green to white, and she was left speechless.


    She’s face was even worse! She had assumed that Ellinor, a country girl, wouldn’t be highly


    regarded in the nchet family and would soon be kicked out. But the fact that Ellinor had such control


    over the nchet family’s wealth was a total game changer


    Damn it!


    Ellinor, unfazed, checked her watch and yawned, “It’s gettingte. I won’t stay for lunch. As for the


    money on the check, whether it’s from the nchet family or came from somewhere else, you guys


    shouldn’t worry about it. If you’re too proud to use the money I gave you, don’t spend it.”


    Tracy and She remained silent. They didn’t say they wouldn’t spend it! Even if the nchet family


    later questioned the money’s whereabouts, it would be Ellinor who would be held ountable, not


    them. They’d just spend the money first!


    Amold didn’t say anything either, quietly pocketing the check, and letting Elinor take whatever she


    wanted


    With no one to stop her, Ellinor’s people swiftly removed all the engagement gifts given by the nchet


    family, as well as the painting, Whispers in the Wind, that Theo had won at an auction and given to her.


    From then on, she was done with the Mendoza family, with no strings attached.


    Not far from the entrance of the Mendoza family’s house, a luxurious ck business car was parked


    After leaving the Mendoza family’s house, Ellinor naturally opened the car door and got in. In the car,


    Ida Gipson was in the driver’s seat, touching up her lipstick in the rear-view mirror, while Chase Larios


    was in the passenger seat, killing time with a mobile game.


    Seeing the boss retum, Chase quit the game, turned around, and said, “Boss, not to criticize, but the


    Mendoza family has always treated you badly. Why are we still being so polite to them? We could take


    them down easily!


    Ellinor massaged her temples; she was genuinely tired. She leaned back on the leather seat in the


    back of the car, closed her eyes to rest, and murmured. ‘I think my mother must have been desperate


    when she sought help from Arnold, an old ssmate she hadn’t seen in years.

    Regardless of Arnold’s motivations, the fact that he risked taking me into the Mendoza family in those


    circumstances was a lifeline when my mother was most helpless. I’ve epted this kindness on behalf


    of my mother.


    In the future, as long as the Mendoza family doesn’t provoke me, I won’t hold any grudges against
