“But you're gonna tie the knot someday, right? You’ve gotta lock down someone from a well-off family, right?
What if you get kicked out of their house because you're too lazy to lift a finger or can't handle domestic chores? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face for the Blanchet family?
So, I've put together a little learning opportunity for you, starting with chores at home. I believe you can do it.”
"You..." Veronica was gritting her teeth, her face turning as green as spinach. "Ellinor, you're such a sly fox! Hmph! No matter what you say, I'm not gonna do any housework!"
Ellinor wasn't fazed. "Well, that's fine. But we don't need another freeloader in this house. When your brother comes home tonight, I'll have him take you back to your mom's."
Ellinor knew this was Veronica's weakness from what Theo said this morning when he was barking at her.
Veronica's biggest soft spot was the thought of leaving the Blanchet family’s home and going back to her mom's.
She wasn't sure why, but that was all the ammo she needed.
Veronica was on the verge of a meltdown and began shaking with rage. She pointed at Ellinor. "You..."
Ellinor was grinning like a Cheshire cat. "So, are you gonna do it?"
Veronica hated housework like the plague, but she was scared to death of being kicked out by Ellinor because Theo was head over heels for her and would do anything she said.
Damn Ellinor, just you wait! There will be payback one day!
