His wife finally remembered to say goodbye to him.
Ellinor turned to Haillie with a smile, "I almost forgot to thank you for the money and almost forgot to say goodbye."
Theo's face changed instantly.
Haillie was taken aback, feeling a bit provoked by Ellinor's words, but she could only smile back in front of everyone, "Ellinor, you're too kind!"
Ellinor also smiled. She walked over to Haillie, hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "I forgot to clarify with you; I never thought about making Theo pull out his investment. I didn't even know he invested in your family. If you mess with me, I'll handle my own problems, not by stirring up trouble between you and Theo. Because myself would scare you more! I don't start trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. If you dare provoke me again, I'll kill you!"
Haillie immediately felt a wave of fear, but she also felt resentful. She was silently angry, her smile frozen.
At that moment, she realized Ellinor booking the venue for next month wasn't to compensate everyone but to make her pay intentionally!
Though she acted like 280k was chump change, it still hurt...
She could've used that money to buy a designer bag, but now it's wasted!
But this woman, Ellinor, was too full of herself!
She even threatened her not to mess up again, or she won't let her off quickly.
