As she went down the stairs, Theo was engrossed in his phone, completely ignoring her. He might have done something at that moment.
Balfour warned, "Ellinor, those discussions might have disappeared, but their effects haven't. Be careful and try not to go out these days."
Ellinor nodded, "Thanks for your concern, Mr. Howard. If there's nothing else, I'll get out of the car."
Balfour said, "Wait!"
Ellinor sat back down, "Is there something else?"
Balfour looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Ellinor, this situation is very strange. Domestic media would never dare report on the Blanchet family without confirmation. After these hashtags disappeared, I had someone investigate and found that foreign media were behind it. This is not just targeted at you, but also the Blanchet family. No matter what, be careful. Got it?"
Hearing the repeated instructions, Ellinor was a bit annoyed. She nodded patiently and said, "I got it. Thanks for your concern."
With that, Ellinor pushed open the car door and got out. Theo pulled up to pick her up, saving her a bit of a walk.
After Ellinor got back in the car, Theo backed up a few meters, then drove through the gate of the Blanchet family’s home.
Balfour watched her leave with a complicated look and sighed helplessly.
Quinton, in the driver's seat, turned to Balfour and said, "Sir, don't worry! Mr. Blanchet should be able to protect Ms. Mendoza."
Balfour pinched the bridge of his nose, "That's exactly why I'm worried. Their family has a complex social network. Ellinor already sticks out by being with him, and now she's a hot topic online. She won't have a moment's peace."
