Morgan jumped a bit, fumbling to explain, "Um... this is the Blanchet home, right? I was looking for Mrs. Blanchet."
You're looking for Ellinor?
Just hearing Ellinor’s name annoys me now, Veronica thought, studying Morgan with a disdainful look. "What do you want with her?"
Morgan sized up Veronica. From head to toe, she was wearing limited-edition designer brands. She was pretty, with a haughty air about her. She looked like a spoiled rich girl...
So, he made a guess, "Miss, you said this is your house? Could it be... you're Mrs. Blanchet?"
Veronica furrowed her brows, realizing he had no idea who her brother's wife was. She didn't bother explaining, instead questioning, "And what if I am! What do you want with Mrs. Blanchet?"
Morgan, thinking he had found the right person, immediately put on a fawning smile, "Mrs. Blanchet, there's some gossip about Mr. Blanchet that I thought you might be interested in. Do you have time for a chat?"
Gossip about my brother? Veronica was curious and puzzled. After a moment of thought, she nodded, "Follow my car. Let's talk somewhere else."
Morgan hopped into his car and followed Veronica's pink sports car to a dessert shop.
Inside the shop, Morgan placed several photos on the table and slid them toward Veronica.
The photos were of Theo and Ellinor together. Veronica looked uninterested, "What's the meaning of showing me these?"
Morgan was puzzled by Veronica's calm reaction, "Mrs. Blanchet, this woman is Ellinor, your husband's mistress!"
Veronica was taken aback, "A mistress?"
So this fat guy had misunderstood!
Morgan continued, "This woman is using her youth and beauty to seduce Mr. Blanchet. It may disrupt your relationship in the future. I can help you get rid of her, but after the job's done, I hope you can do me a small favor."
