After Ellinor finished speaking, she left, having the servant take her out for a bit.
Theo, knowing the complicated relationship between Ellinor and her family, felt a twinge of worry. He stood up, planning to accompany her outside.
"Theo!"
Just as he was about to leave, he heard his grandfather's stern voice stop him.
Theo turned to look at Putnam, "What's up, Grandpa?"
Putnam, expressionlessly turned his wheelchair in a different direction, "Uh huh, come to my room for a sec. I've got something to ask you."
Theo glanced at Ellinor's retreating back, thought for a moment, and finally decided to go to his grandfather's room first.
...
When Ellinor got to the door of the Blanchet family's home, she saw Sheila Mendoza's old-school red sports car.
Sheila also spotted her, and her heavily made-up eyes instantly widened.
Ellinor had the servant who was following her go back to his own work, then she left the Blanchet family's home by herself to meet with the Mendozas, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Wow! Ellinor, long time no see!"
Sheila got out of her sports car and strutted toward Ellinor in her towering high heels, looking quite smug.
