Chapter 877
Veronica suddenly got curious and asked, “Ellinor, you now have free rein over my brother’s credit card. Why don’t
you spoil yourself a bit?”
Ellinor replied, “I don’t need anything. There’s nothing I want to buy
Veronica crinkled her brow and scomfully eyed Ellinor’s simple attire.
Sure, Ellinor was a stunner, and even basic clothes couldn’t hide her beauty, but without designer labels, she just
looked… ordinary
Who said you don’t need anything? I think you should chuck those clothes and get a whole new wardrobe! Ellinor,
you’re part of the Blanchet family now, so you should step up your style game. You don’t want to embarrass my
brother, do you?

Realizing what she had just said, Veronica awkwardly coughed and said, “Don’t get me wrong! I’m not admitting
that you’re part of the Blanchet family, accepting you, or anything like that. It’s just that my brother is head over
heels for you and insists on keeping you around, so I thought you should up your fashion game. I’m thinking about
my brother! He’s high and mighty, he can’t have a woman by his side who looks like she shops at thrift stores!”
Ellinor smiled, “Thanks for the advice, but your brother doesn’t care what I wear, and I’m not interested in those
things. But don’t worry, I’ll dress up for formal occasions to accompany him. Casual days, not so much.”
Veronica rolled her eyes, “I see you have bigger ambitions and don’t even want to spend petty cash. You just want
to completely bewitch my brother, get all his money, and then control the Blanchet family’s
assets
Ellinor smiled slightly, “If what you say is true, then I must be very skilled. Ms. Blanchet, if you’re so capable, why
don’t you find a man who’s willing to hand over all his assets to you?”
Veronica rolled her eyes again while crossing her arms, “I’m not as cu nning as you!”
They arrived at a large shopping mall and walked into the Hermès flagship store.
While Veronica excitedly picked out bags, Ellinor sat in the waiting area sipping coffee.
“Ellinor.”
Before long, Ellinor heard someone call her name. It was a man’s gentle and warm voice.
She turned her head and saw Bartlett Rex walking over, arm in arm with an elegant girl.
Bartlett greeted her with a big grin, “I knew it was you, Ellinor! I thought I was seeing things when I first came in.”,
“Well, what a coincidence.” Ellinor nodded without getting up, still cradling her coffee.
Bartlett softly told the girl next to him, “You go take a look over there and pick a few you like. I’m going to chat with
a friend here.”

bags.
Once the girl was gone, Bartlett sat down on the sofa next to Ellinor.
“Ellinor, are you here alone to buy a bag? Theo didn’t come with you?”
Ellinor responded, “I’m not planning on buying anything. I’m here with Veronica. She’s in there picking something
out. I’m just waiting for her.”
Bartlett squinted slightly. “You’re really nice for taking Veronica bag shopping.”
Ellinor didn’t bite at his sarcasm; instead, she asked, “Is that your girlfriend?”
Without hesitation, Bartlett said, “No.”
Ellinor arched an eyebrow, ‘She’s not your girlfriend, but you brought her shopping for bags? Oh, I see, for rich
folks like you, buying a bag for a girl is no big deal.” Bartlett gave a helpless smile, “No, she’s not. She’s a blind date
set up by my family. I was worried about it. Ellinor, since you’re here, can you do me a favor?”
“Hmm? Do what for you?”
