Sheila was a bit uneasy, "I do have a crush on Mr. Blanchet, but he is married, that's why I'm hesitating, just in case..."
Tracy dismissed it, "So what if he's married? I kicked your dad's wife to the curb and look where I am now! Sheila, being the mistress to a man of Mr. Blanchet's stature is way more respectable than being the wife of some average guy! Besides, there's no rush, there will be plenty of chances for you to become his legit wife in the future!"
Sheila thought her mom had a point, but she was still worried, "But Theo is so cold, I'm a bit scared to get close to him..."
"He's supposed to be a bit frosty. Don't worry Sheila, after dinner, I'll take you to get something cool!"
"What cool thing?"
"You'll see!"
Sheila found her mother to be mysterious, but her mom always knew more than her, so she must have some special tricks up her sleeve...
After a feast at Charm Tower, Tracy took Sheila to the supermarket.
Despite wearing a hat and sunglasses, Sheila couldn't hide her disdain.
She felt a supermarket was beneath her superstar status, so she was quite disgusted, "What are we doing here?"
Tracy just smiled, "Aren't you cooking for Mr. Blanchet tonight? We're here to buy some groceries to prepare!"
Sheila said, "I can't cook, I can just order takeout and pretend!"
She was suspicious, "What goods?"
"Just some daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables, they're all in the back!" The driver cheerfully said, even pointing to the back.
Ellinor looked towards the back...
Suddenly, the van's side door was pulled open from inside, a man with his face covered leaned out, holding a can of something, he sprayed it at her face several times, she lost consciousness instantly!
Before she even had a chance to fall, the unconscious Ellinor was roughly dragged into the van, the door closed, and the white van quickly drove off, disappearing from the front of the Blanchet family's house.
