The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 13

Sheila excitedly grabbed the coat and demanded, "Ellinor, where did you borrow this from? How did you get in touch with a man who can afford such expensive clothes?"

Ellinor glanced at the dress nonchalantly, "Is it pricey? A generous man lent it to me. I barely know him!"

Seeing her clueless look and not appearing to be lying, Sheila scornfully said,

"I bet you wouldn't know a man who can afford such high-end clothes! Wash it and return it when you’re done using it. Don’t get into trouble because of greed! A man with taste wouldn't be into a country girl like you!"

Ellinor casually laughed, "Oh right, sis you didn't answer my question. Where is your boyfriend?"

Sheila's face instantly turned sour, seeing that Ellinor seemed unaware of the details, she faked it with, "Uh... I changed my mind about getting married yesterday, so I'm still single. There is no boyfriend!"

Ellinor raised her eyebrows curiously, "You don't want to get married? Why? The Blanchet family is top-notch. Don’t you like them?"

Sheila scoffed, "Top-notch family, so what! The man I want would come running at the flick of my fingers! That Theo is almost thirty and yet has no girlfriend. He must have something wrong with him. Maybe he can't have kids! So, even if he's head over heels for me, I won't marry him and become a widow."

Ellinor wanted to laugh, and nodded, "Hmm, sis you really thought this through. Congrats on dodging a bullet!"

After packing her stuff, Ellinor went downstairs, said a quick goodbye to Arnold, and then left the Mendoza family with her suitcase.

Meanwhile, Sheila sneakily followed Ellinor's taxi in her car. She was curious about who the man that lent Ellinor the coat.

The man who wore such high-end custom clothes must be a billionaire!

Yesterday's chaotic wedding made her lose all her dignity. If she could take this opportunity to find a rich and handsome man, she could finally lift her head in front of her relatives and friends!

...

Ellinor's taxi stopped in the old town.

Ellinor got out of the taxi, walked into a small roadside restaurant with her suitcase, and sat down to order food alone.

Sheila sat in her car and shook her head.

She thought Ellinor had stepped up, now that she was able to borrow such expensive branded clothes. But when she went to eat in the hole in the wall restaurant, Sheila realized that Ellinor was just an ignorant country girl!

Just as she was chuckling, there was a knock on her car window.

Sheila rolled down the window and saw a stern-faced traffic cop.

"You can't park here! You're violating traffic rules."

Sheila retorted discontentedly, "There are no other vehicles here, what's the problem with me parking here? I'm a public figure. I parked here because I was worried that I would be recognized by fans after getting out of the car and cause traffic congestion. This will also alleviate your work pressure, do you understand?"

The traffic cop was unshaken, "No matter who you are, this is a pedestrian street, no one can park here! Your car is illegally parked. If you continue to not cooperate with the regulations, I will have your car towed. Those are the rules!"

"Would you dare?"

Sheila took off her sunglasses, "Look carefully at who I am! Do you know how many millions of fans I have on Twitter? Be careful, I'll summon my fans to complain about you!"

The traffic cop barely glanced at her and instantly picked up his walkie-talkie to call for a tow truck.

Sheila stomped her feet in anger and started bickering with the traffic cop like a shrew, attracting a crowd.

But not many recognized her, everyone was criticizing her for not following the rules. Sheila was no longer arrogant, and could only watch as her sports car was towed away by the tow truck. Then she saw Ellinor who had finished eating coming out of the restaurant.
