Patricia had been giving her the cold shoulder from the get-go, and now it was even worse!
Ellinor stared ahead with determined eyes and replied coolly. “Seems like we’re not heading in the
same direction.”
Patriciaughed cordially. “Even if we’re not, I can take a detour and give you a lift! We know each
other well enough. It’s no biggie to drop you off!”
“No need to go out of your way.”
“Ellinor, you’re not scared of me, are you?”
Ellinor chuckled lightly, “What would I be scared of?”
Patricia still had her best innocent smile on her face, “You’re afraid I’ll retaliate, aren’t you? Ha ha,
rx, Ellinor. After what happenedst time. even if I wanted to get back at you, I wouldn’t do it now,
and definitely not in my car! That would justnd me in hot water! I’m not that stupid to shoot myself in
the foot!”
Ellinor gave her a sidelong nce, “So what’s your game?”
Patricia looked dead serious, “I just want to have a chat with you. Is that okay?”
Even though Ellinor knew Patricia’s sincerity was all for show, she still got in the car.
She was fed up with Patricia following her around, and she couldn’t find a ride anyway!
Once she got in the car, Ellinor let out a tired yawn, “I need to get home, so you might as well drop me
off!”
Patricia awkwardly said, “Ellinor, I need to drop lunch off to my brother at the office first. Can I take you
home after that?”
Ellinor knew it wouldn’t be a straight shot; she furrowed her brows and sighed, “Fine!”
Patricia patted the lunchbox next to her, grinning like a Cheshire cat, “My brother loves the food from
this ce. He always finishes everything when I bring it to him.”
Ellinor didn’t even bother to look up; she responded nonchntly, “Oh, really?”
She knew from the start that Patricia wouldn’t have anything interesting to say!
Seeing Ellinor’s disinterested look, Patricia’s smile faded a bit. She was a tad peeved but quickly
stered a brighter smile on her face, “Ellinor, I’ve epted the thing with Theo now! But how did you
manage to change my brother’s attitude towards you? Care to share?”
Ellinor gave a light smile, “I’m curious too, Ms. Howard. Did your brother’s attitude towards me really
change? From my perspective, it doesn’t seem like it!”
Patricia frowned slightly, trying to keep her sweet smile, “Ellinor, don’t y dumb! My brother clearly
didn’t like you at first, but then he obviously warmed up to you, didn’t he?”
Without thinking, Ellinor answered, “Your brother may not have been fond of me initially, but it’s not like
he hated me. The reason he ended up disliking me, isn’t it because of all the misunderstandings you
stirred up? Now that everything’s cleared up, he obviously realized he was wrong about me, hence his
slightly better attitude.”
Patricia smirked slightly, and she couldn’t hide her irritation and let out a scoff, “Slightly better? The way
my brother treats you now is way over the top! Not normal at all! Ellinor, do you and my brother have a
secret or something?”
Patricia’s probing made Ellinor cautious. Recently, Patricia and her mother Xenia had been
investigating her in the countryside. Although she had Chase deal with it, she couldn’t be sure they
wouldn’t identally find some leads.
She couldn’t let them find out about her blood ties with the Howard family yet. It wouldn’t help the
investigation into her mother’s’past! After a few seconds of silence, Ellinor chuckled, “Ms. Howard, are
you jealous? Your brother, who’s always doted on you, is showing a bit of affection towards another girl,
and you can’t handle it?”
Patricia was hit where it hurt. She gritted her teeth secretly; her smile was even brighter as she said,
“Jealous? Why would I be? My brother has plenty of women around him. Why would I be jealous of
them? Can any womanpare to his own sister in his heart? I’m just baffled; my brother never liked
your type before!”
Ellinor smiled subtly, “Why don’t you ask your brother then? Ask him why he changed his attitude
towards me. He dotes on you so much, so he’d definitely tell you!”
