Belinda was worried that Veronica might misinterpret the relationship between Chase and Ellinor and stir up trouble. So, she answered her question, "That's our vice president, Chase. He's the vice president of Crescent Society and has been good friends with Ellinor for years."
Veronica frowned in confusion, "What? Ellinor is friends with the Vice President of Crescent Society? Isn't Ellinor from the countryside? Given her background, how could she possibly know the VP of Crescent Society?"
Belinda gave her a sideways glance, "You're so shallow. You can't judge someone just by their background, got it? What's wrong with being from the countryside? Can't country folk be wildly loved? Can't they know high-ranking company officials?"
Veronica was feeling a bit mixed up. Apparently, Ellinor had been acquainted with such a wealthy friend from the start, yet she never flaunted it. It seemed like she didn't know Ellinor as well as he thought.
"Why doesn't Ellinor just get with that handsome guy instead of chasing after my brother?" She questioned.
Belinda rolled her eyes, "Being handsome doesn't automatically mean there's love! Didn't I just tell you? They've been friends for years; they’re like family. How could that kind of messed up thing happen? Don’t overthink it, and don't go running your mouth to your grandparents!"
Veronica snorted, "I was just asking; who said I was going to blab?"
Belinda replied, "You better not blab! I'm done talking to you. I need to go take care of Ellinor now. If Theo finds out that we both ran out like this, he'll fly back from abroad to scold us!"
With that, Belinda hurried back to Ellinor's ward.
When she arrived, she found not only Ellinor and Chase but also Ida Gipson and Chase's girlfriend.
Belinda froze at the sight of Chase sitting on the sofa, holding a beautiful girl, and stroking her hair.
