"I… own some shares in Crescent Society."
She murmured carefully.
Theo stared at her and wondered how much she meant by “some”.
Ever since he found out Ellinor had been living with Chase, he had Collin investigate the background of the Crescent Society.
Crescent Society, squeaky clean and self-made, was one of the most eye-catching rising stars among domestic businesses. It had rapidly risen to prominence in just a few years, becoming nearly as powerful as the major family groups in Greenhaven.
However, the president of Crescent Society, Ida Gipson, and the vice president, Chase, were not the real bigwigs of the company. 60% of the shares of Crescent Society were held by a mysterious major shareholder who never showed his face.
This reclusive major shareholder was rumored to be a young girl.
He had known for a long time that Ellinor wasn’t as simple as she seemed. Now that he knew she held the majority of the shares in Crescent Society, he wasn’t surprised.
Considering her education, capabilities, wisdom, and a bit of ambition, it wasn’t surprising that she had established her own businesses at such a young age.
What surprised him now was that she was starting to open up to him.
In the past, she would always lie to him, guard against him, and keep her real situation hidden.
But now, no matter what her motives were for telling him the truth, it meant that he could understand her more deeply and control her more closely.
If she ever left again, he wouldn’t be like a directionless fly, searching everywhere for her.
As he pondered, he didn’t stop washing her hair. His long fingers gently guided the water to the back of her head, careful not to let a single drop enter her eyes.
