Ellinor casually nodded, “I indeed wouldn’t buy you designer bags; I wouldn’t buy such things for myself either. I think those luxuries are just consumer traps, most of them aren’t worth the price.”

Veronica gave Ellinor a disgusted glance.

Ellinor chuckled. “Have you ever wondered why she would frequently give you expensive gifts for no reason? She even willingly gave you the limited–edition bags she liked. Do you think she likes you as a person, or does she like Theo?”
