    Chapter 1000


    Just as Ellinor was about to hang up the phone, she halted, “Spill it. Who are you, and what’s up?”


    The other party answered, “I’m near you! Look to your left, and you’ll see who I am!”


    Ellinor’s gaze quickly shifted to the left, where she saw a silhouette waving at her from an alleyway..


    It was Haillie, a face she hadn’t seen in a while.


    She had used a voice changer during the call, so Ellinor hadn’t recognized her voice.


    If Haillie had nothing to hide, she wouldn’t use a voice changer, so Ellinor guessed something was up.


    Ellinor watched cautiously and chuckled into the phone, “Haillie, is that you? If you need me, just say


    so. No need for these cloak and dagger games. You think it’s fun or something?”


    Haillie stood at the intersection, “I do need you. Come here; we need to talk.”


    Ellinor wasn’t fooled. She politelyughed, “I’ll pass. I’m almost at the nchet’s. You cane in with


    me, and we can talk there.”


    After a failed car ident yesterday, Haillie was now being hunted citywide by Theo’s people. She


    didn’t dare to go home, stay in a hotel, or even step foot into the nchet’s house!


    “I can’t go to the nchet’s. I heard Putnam and Marissa nchet are back. It’d be awkward to talk


    with them around. Come here, let’s find a ce without people.”


    Haillie was Patricia’s good friend and was often used by her. Now that she was looking for Ellinor, it


    must be about Patricia again.


    Ellinor wasn’t ying ball, and she calmly said, “Then, I’m sorry. I’m dog tired today. If you’re not up for


    coming to the nchet’s with me, we’ll have to pick this up some other day.”


    With that, Ellinor hung up and prepared to go in.


    Listening to the busy signal, Haillie gritted her teeth.


    Ellinor was still as difficult as ever!


    Thinking of the task she had toplete today, Haillie quickly caught up with her before she could go


    in, “Hold up!”


    Ellinor was about to enter, but hearing Haillie’s voice, she turned around and, while smiling, she


    questioned Haillie, “Changed your mind, Haillie? Ready toe in?”


    Haillie frowned, “Do I have a choice? You won’te out and talk with me!”


    If she hadn’t just seen Theo drive away without getting out of the car, she wouldn’t dare to go into the


    nchet’s ce.


    While Theo wasn’t home, she could seize this opportunity to sort out some stuff…

    Ellinor smiled and said, “Well,e on in then!”


    And with that, she led Haillie into the nchet’s.


    In the nchet’s living room, Putnam, Marissa, and Veronica nchet were having lunch.


    Hearing the entrance, Marissa looked up and saw Ellinor, immediately smiling, “Ellinor’s back! Perfect


    timing, wash your hands, and join us for lunch!”


    After changing into slippers, Ellinor entered the room, greeted her grandparents, and then said,


    “Grandma, I’ve got a friend over. We’ve got some stuff to talk about. Can we have lunch sent up to my


    room so we can chat while we eat?”
