    Chapter 1006


    Elinor steadied Hallie once again, eyeing her struggle to leave. She quirked a brow and said, “Haillie,


    you look all over the ce. How about I have the nchet family’s driver give you a lift?”


    Ellinor wasn’t really bothered about this woman who once did her wrong. But she figured if Haillie


    toddled off on her own and something happened to her, the nchet family would be in the hot seat.


    The nchet Corporation’s stock market was still on the mend, and thest thing they needed was


    another PR nightmare.


    However, Haille swatted Ellinor’s offer away, shaking her head, “No need, I can manage on my own.


    Butt out!”


    She didn’t dare to ride in a nchet family car because Theo was probably still hunting her down. If a


    nchet family driver unintentionally spilled the beans to Theo about her whereabouts and got her


    delivered directly to the nchet Corporation, then she’d be done for.


    Haillie was resolute about leaving on her own. She wobbled to the door, opened it, then paused,


    turning back to Ellinor with a pleading tone, “Ellinor, if it’s all right with you could you see me to the


    elevator? If I run into Putnam and Marissa on the way down, I wouldn’t know what to say…”


    Elinor mulled it over, then nodded and followed her out.


    However, Putnam and Marissa were not downstairs. They probably retired to their rooms for their


    afternoon siesta, as elderly folks often do.


    In the living room, only Veronica was lounging on the couch, flipping through TV channels, seemingly


    unable to find a show to her liking. She seemed a bit antsy.


    Today, Moran had things to do at school and couldn’t tutor her; she was bored to tears.


    Hearing footsteps, Veronica swiveled her head around and saw Haillie and Ellinor descending the


    stairs.


    Remembering that she hadn’t had a chance to greet Haillie earlier, Veronica politely said, “Haillie, are


    you leaving already? Why don’t you stay for dinner? My brother, Theo, will be home tonight!”


    Veronica remembered Haillie being good friends with her brother and Jonah Wyton…

    Haillie seemed a bit out of it. Hearing Theo’s name made her heart race. She managed a weak smile at


    Veronica, “No need, Veronica. I’ve got things to do. I’ll treat you all to a meal when I have the chance!”


    Veronica, bored out of her mind, turned off the TV, stood up, and said, “All right then! I’ll walk you out!”


    Haillie’s face fell a bit, but she waved her off politely, “No need, Veronica. You keep watching TV.


    But Veronica was already up and walking over. She shrugged and said, “It’s fine. There’s nothing good


    on TV anyway.”


    Haillie fell silent.


    Seeing this, Ellinor chimed in and said, “That’s fine, Haillie. Let Veronica walk you to the door. I’ll stay


    here.”


    Then she turned to Veronica and said, “It’d be great if you could help Haillie hail a cab. She’s not


    feeling well.”


    Veronica didn’t seem to mind. She just nodded, “Mhm, sure!”


    Seeing Veronica obey Ellinor’s words so easily, Haillie was taken aback. In her memory, Veronica was


    a Patricia supporter and couldn’t stand Ellinor.


    Now, Veronica had epted Ellinor too?


    Veronica turned to Haillie and said, “Let’s go, Haillie. Ellinor just got home and is tired. She needs to


    rest. I’ll apany you outside!”


    Haillie snapped back to reality, ncing at Veronica, then at Ellinor, who was about to head back up to


    her room to rest.
