Chapter 428

Sheila 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.

Blanchet with her shameless tactics!”

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

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

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

Blanchet 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 accountable?”

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

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

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

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

Damn it!

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

money on the check, whether it’s from the Blanchet 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 Sheila remained silent. They didn’t say they wouldn’t spend it! Even if the Blanchet family

later questioned the money’s whereabouts, it would be Ellinor who would be held accountable, 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 Blanchet

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 black 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 classmate 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 accepted 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
