Theo was cut off by the ringing of Ellinor's phone.
Ellinor's gown had no pockets, so she had been holding her phone in her hand.
She lifted the phone and glanced at the caller ID that displayed a call from "Hubby.”
Hubby?
She was baffled. When did she save this number? Since when did she have a husband?
Just then, Theo’s cold and angry voice broke the silence, "So this is why you left a month ago?"
Ellinor snapped back to reality, looked up, and saw Theo towering over her, his eyes blazing with fury.
She had never seen such a terrifying expression on him before, and for a moment she was stunned.
A malicious smirk hung on the corner of Theo's mouth and he said sarcastically, "You've found a new hubby in just a month; you're really something, Ms. Mendoza!"
Ellinor was dumbfounded. No, she was just as confused!
"Answer it!" Theo said in a cold tone.
Ellinor didn't answer and declined the call.
The only possibility she could think of was that Chase Larios was calling her back.
Chase was probably playing a prank and had changed the name in her contacts without her noticing.
And she didn't want Theo to know about her relationship with Chase and the Crescent Society.
So, she couldn't answer the call and couldn't let Theo hear Chase's voice.
Theo snorted when he saw her decline the call, "Why don't you answer? Afraid your current hubby will find out you're with your ex?"
Ex?
Finally, the car exited the highway, ending this torturous journey.
Ellinor said, "Thanks. Could you stop the car at the side of the road? I can call a cab to go home!"
However, the driver showed no intention of stopping.
Collin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also pretended not to hear.
If the boss didn't speak, how could he dare to stop the car?
Realizing this, Ellinor turned to the emotionless man again, "Mr. Blanchet, could you ask your driver to stop and let me out?"
Without even glancing at her, Theo said coldly, "Address."
Ellinor was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Theo was asking for her current address.
