Even if this room really used to be hers, it was now completely unrecognizable after Balfour's renovation.
Ellinor didn't respond, which rubbed Patricia the wrong way. She thought for a moment, put on a warm smile, and said, "Hey, Ellinor, I can give you the clothes I don't wear anymore, so you don't have to buy any!"
Ellinor shot her a look but didn't respond, letting Patricia soak in her own implications.
Patricia felt a chill from Ellinor's gaze. Pretending to have an aha moment, she said, "Oh, silly me, I forgot, you're part of the Blanchet family now, and with Theo taking care of you, you surely don't lack money for stuff like this.”
As she said this, Patricia looked Ellinor up and down, "But the clothes you usually wear seem quite cheap; has Theo not been giving you money for clothes?”
Ellinor couldn't find anything familiar or any clues about her past in Patricia’s room.
She turned to face Patricia and said, "How could he give me anything if he’s broke?”
Patricia was stunned, then she laughed, "Are you pulling my leg? Theo is the heir to the Blanchet family and the CEO of Blanchet Corporation; how could he possibly not have money to give you?"
Ellinor nonchalantly said, "His credit cards are with me; he doesn't have a dime on him; what can he give me? In fact, he has to kiss up to me to get some pocket money."
That jab hit Patricia where it hurt!
Who would've thought that Ellinor had such a grip on Theo?
