Ellinor took a sip of the water Devin brought over, "Tell me, why do you want Patricia to be your brother's wife?"
Veronica immediately answered. "Because Patricia is very beautiful, has a kind heart, and treats me really well!"
Beautiful and kind-hearted? Ellinor thought it was hilarious to describe Patricia like that.
"Oh, how exactly does she treat you well?"
Veronica didn't hide her fondness for Patricia at all, "Every time Patricia saw a nice bag, she would always remember to buy one for me! Even if it was a limited edition, no matter how much she liked it, she would buy it for me first. Anyway, you broke people wouldn't understand!"
Ellinor casually nodded, "I indeed wouldn't buy you designer bags; I wouldn't buy such things for myself either. I think those luxuries are just consumer traps; most of them aren't worth the price."
Veronica gave Ellinor a disgusted glance.
Ellinor chuckled, "Have you ever wondered why she would frequently give you expensive gifts for no reason? She even willingly gave you the limited-edition bags she liked. Do you think she likes you as a person, or does she like Theo?"
Veronica was stunned. She had never seriously thought about this. Whenever she received gifts from Patricia, she was usually busy being happy and showing off in front of her friends.
"Are you saying Patricia is using me? Ellinor, you're really funny! Patricia is the beloved baby of the Howard family, okay? She's the most innocent and kind person I've ever met, and not as scheming as you!"
Looking at the clueless Veronica, Ellinor said all she had to say and shrugged, "Think about what I said today."
After saying that, she stood up. Before turning around, she added, "By the way, I won't buy you bags, but I will give you a gift tomorrow."
Veronica looked surprised, "What gift will you give me?"
