    Chapter 1145


    Ellinor answered, “You’ll know when the timees if he decides to help me” She chose not to spill the


    beans until she was sure he would lend her a hand


    Chase and Ida exchanged nces, both in the dark about who Ellinor might turn to for help


    After lunch, the three continued chatting in the bedroom. Just as Ellinor was about to get someone to


    clean up, Devin popped in with news, “Marissa’s got the card table ready. She’s asking if you and your


    friends cane and join her.”


    Oh, the card game!


    Ellinor nodded, “Okay, we’ll be right there”


    After Devin left, Ellinor turned to her friends, “We’ll head over in a bit. You guys will have to y a few


    rounds with Marissa”


    Chase and Ida weren’t thrilled about the card game, but they had to go along with what Ellinor said.


    Manssa had the card table all set up.


    Ellinor had two maids watch over Baber, who was sleeping in the room, before heading downstairs with


    Chase and Ida.


    As they walked into the card room, they saw Marissa mediating between Veronica and Belinda, urging


    Veronica to apologize


    Belinda wasn’t one to hold a grudge, she just nodded and let bygones be bygones.


    Upon seeing Ellinor and the others, Marissa gave a warm smile and waved them over


    “Ellinor,e here! Bring your friends over to y a few rounds with me. It’s been a while since Ist


    yed”


    Ellinor smiled and led Chase and Ida to the table


    Belinda, who didn’t know how to y, sat next to Marissa, helping her shuffle the cards while learning


    how to y. She never nced at Chase once, as if she were purposely avoiding him.

    Chase sat across from Marissa, stealing nces at Belinda every now and then


    With Veronica insisting on joining in, Ida ended up sitting next to Ellinor watching the game together.


    Their initial intention was to keep Marissa entertained.


    But once the game started, Chase seemed to forget that. He began messing up Veronica’s cards on


    purpose, making it look idental each time.


    After a few rounds, Veronica was fuming, she was ready to flip the table.


    However, she remembered Moran’s advice before he left, urging her to control her temper, and she


    held it in.


    Marissa wasn’t a fool, she noticed that Chase’s interruptions weren’t coincidental Considering how


    Veronica had cursed him out before, she couldn’t really me him


    Still, Chase didn’t forget to entertain Marissa, letting her win a few rounds, which made her day.


    By the time they finished the game, it was already afternoon


    Manssa warmly invited her guests to stay for dinner, but both Chase and Ida politely declined. Belinda


    also gracefully tumed down her invitation and left with Chase and Ida.


    However, Belinda didn’t join Chase in his car. After politely saying goodbye to Ida, she continued


    walking on her own.


    Chase had his driver tail her slowly, then rolled down his window and said to her, “Hop in, I’ll give you a


    lift home.”


    Belinda neither stopped or looked at him. She simply said, “Thanks for the offer, Mr Lanos, but I’m not


    nning on going home right now.”
