Chapter 967
In the serious conference room, the man sitting in the president’s chair suddenly stood up. His usually stern face
showed rare signs of anxiety and unease, saying, “What’s going on? Why are they going to the hospital? Is
something wrong?”
He shouldn’t have let her go to the Howards’ place alone!
Did she get bullied by the Howards again? Was she hurt?
A myriad of possibilities flashed through Theo’s mind, making it hard for him to catch his breath.
Ellinor made a face and said, “Sir, it’s not me. I’m alright.”
Theo frowned, clearly not convinced, “If you’re alright, why are you going to the hospital? Which hospital?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllinor said, a bit aggrieved, “It’s Balfour. He got his foot injured trying to help me dodge a car. His bone’s fractured,
and he can’t walk. He lost his phone and can’t contact his family. I can’t carry him either…”
Theo let out a breath, “Even if you could carry him, you’re not allowed to! Just wait, I’m on my way!”
“Alright!” Ellinor nodded and hung up the call.
Theo put away his phone, looked at his stunned subordinates gathered around the long table, and said coldly,
“Meeting’s over!”
Then he turned around and left in a hurry.
Only after their boss left did the people in the conference room have the courage to start discussing.
“Who was Mr. Blanchet talking to? He seemed really anxious.”
“It must’ve been a woman!”
*I’ve never heard of Mr. Blanchet having a woman. All the women who tried to get close to him got rejected coldly.
There’s even a rumor that Mr. Blanchet doesn’t like women.”
“I heard a rumor that Mr. Blanchet is married!”
“Mr. Blanchet is married? No way! If someone like Mr. Blanchet got married, his wife would definitely be some high-
born lady. That kind of power couple would’ve made the headlines.”
“Maybe Mr. Blanchet wanted to keep it low-key. I really heard that he’s married. His wife is a lot younger than him
and not some high-born lady, just an average girl.”
“No way! That’s impossible! A big family like the Blanchets would never accept a girl from an average family. They
would definitely go for a business marriage!”
*Exactly! I think so too! I heard that Mr. Blanchet and Patricia are close. Seems like there might be something

“Patricia? That’s even less likely.”
“What’s the problem? Why is it not possible?”
“The Howard family is, of course, prestigious, but everyone knows there’s tension between the Howards and the
Blanchets. They would never unite through marriage.”
“Oh! That’s a shame! I thought Patricia and Mr. Blanchet would make a good couple.”
“What are you guys discussing? Didn’t you see those rumors online about Mrs. Blanchet replacing a common girl’s
entrance exam score? Why are you still wondering if Mr. Blanchet is married? His wife is already a hot topic! The
company’s stocks have been falling these past few days because of this.”
“What? Really? I didn’t see that. I’m too old to care about gossip.”
“Is the news true or fake? Did Mrs. Blanchet really replace a common girl’s exam score?”
“I’m not sure! But the Blanchet family does have the power to pull something like this off. It might be true.”
“That’s a bit too much! It’s already hard enough for common girls to thrive. How could the opportunity they worked
so hard for to change their fate get stolen by a rich man’s wife?”
