However, it seemed like Marissa was putting Ellinor on a pedestal. How could she not love money?
Yes, she did have a deep affection for money, but what she loved was money earned through her own hard work, not money gained by marrying, pleasing men, or by dishonest means.
On the other end of the phone, Putnam's disgruntled mumbling came through...
"Heh, in this world, who doesn't love money? I don't understand how you could be so easily fooled into believing there's a woman in this world who doesn't like money! I think you've been truly blinded by Ellinor!"
Marissa went silent, seemingly taking a deep breath with great effort. Her voice became somewhat suppressed, sounding like she was gathering strength, and her tone became a bit strange...
"Ellinor, try not to go out these next few days. If you need to go out, be careful. Theo should be able to resolve the issues online soon. I need to take care of some things, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Ellinor obediently replied, "Okay, goodbye, Mrs. Blanchet."
Before she even hung up, she heard Marissa's loud scolding: "What did you just say?!"
Putnam cried out in pain, "Ouch! Let go, I'm a patient!"
"You remember that you're a patient? You seem too lively today..."
The rest of the conversation was cut off, the call had ended.
Ellinor found it a bit amusing. Marissa and Putnam were like two kids, quarrelling but still deeply in love. They were like a joyful couple, which was pretty rare!
At that moment, someone sent a video call on her social media, the chat window popped up... it was Sheila Mendoza!
Looking at the computer, Ellinor squinted her eyes.
