Chapter 46 Who’s Really Lonely?
Ellis smirked. “No one’s drinking tea, so why does it smell so strong?”
Victoria acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued, “Separation is a big deal. The longer it lasts, the more it affects a marriage. Ms. Ellis, you should move back into the Hudson house sooner rather than later. You wouldn’t want Easton to be all alone, would you? I went to see him there yesterday, and he looked so lonely. It was heartbreaking.”
See him?
More like she walized in, eager to take over as the lady of the house.
Ellis almost laughed. Victoria didn’t even mind living in the house she and Easton had shared? She didn’t think of getting a new place!
“Move,” she snapped, too impatient to deal with Victoria’s theatrics.
She had expected Victoria to drag things out, but surprisingly, she stepped aside almost instantly, making a show of looking apologetic.
Ellis didn’t roll her eyes outwardly, but she was doing it a thousand times in her head.
There was a time she had envied Victoria–envied that she had been Easton’s fiancée, that she had his love, his care. She had even been jealous
Now, she felt nothing but pure disgust toward both of them
To hell with their great love story! Just leave her out of it!
As Ellis walked away, Victoria’s smile deepened with satisfaction. She took out her phone and pressed a number..
The moment the call connected, she spoke in a soft, delicate voice.
“Easton, guess where I am?”
“You don’t want to guess? I’m at the auction!
“And guess who I ran into?”
“I saw Ms. Ellis here. She’s buying something What a coincidence.”
She spoke a few more sentences, but there was no response from the other end. Thinking there might be a signal issue, she was about to repeat herself when Easton’s deep voice finally came through.
“Ellis bought something at the auction? What was it? How much did she spend?”
“I think it was an antique, around eight million. I was talking to her and-
Victoria kept talking, but Easton’s focus had already shifted.
Where did Ellis get that kind of money?:
Who was giving her money?
His mother? Or his aunt?
No wonder she hadn’t caved when he cut off her access to all his supplementary cards. No wonder she was still living outside. and refusing to come home.
In an instant, he had figured out part of the reason she had been able to hold out this long.
As soon as the call ended, Easton dialed the person managing the family trust fund and gave a cold order.

“Starting this month, stop all payments to Emma.”
Then, he severed all his aunt’s other financial sources as well.
He couldn’t control his mother’s money, but making his aunt’s life financially difficult? That was all too easy
Sophia had asked both her and Easton to pick her up from the airport. But had she told Easton separately? Or was she expecting Ellis to pass on the message?
The moment Sophia saw her, her face lit up with a smile, and she waved.
“Mom,” Ellis greeted, instinctively smiling back.
“Aren’t you getting divorced? Still calling her ‘Mom‘ so affectionately?”
