Ellinor flashed a smile, saying, âSure, I can apologize to Ms. Sophia.â
Marissa beamed. âThatâs my girl, Ellinor, I knew you were the sensible one.â
Then Ellinor approached Sophia.
Sophiaâs eyes sparkled with triumph, but she feigned generosity and shook her head. âNo need, Ellinor.
I know you didnât mean to⦠Oh my gosh!â
Before she could finish, Ellinor grabbed her hair, dragged her over to the restaurantâs cash register, held her head down, and forcefully slammed it on the counter.
Everything happened so fast that Sophia was caught off guard and could only scream in shock.
Everyone was taken aback, unprepared for such a twist.
By the time Theo arrived to intervene, Ellinor had already dealt with Sophia.
He looked at the fresh wound on Sophiaâs forehead, his eyes seething with rage as he coldly asked Ellinor. âWhat the hell are you doing?â
Ellinor shoved Sophia, who was ahead of her, into Theoâs arms, then picked up a napkin from the counter and casually wiped her hands. âI absolutely hate being misunderstood. And I certainly wonât apologize for something I didnât do. Mr. Blanchet, you insisted I apologize, so I had to do the thing you falsely accused me of, then apologize.â
Sophia was pushed into Theoâs arms. He frowned, steadied her, and then withdrew his hand, his gaze deeply fixed on Ellinor.
Ellinor no longer cared about his gaze. âNow, I have indeed hurt Ms. Sophia, so I can apologize to her.â, With that, Ellinor turned to Sophia and formally said, âMs. Sophia, Iâm sorry for hurting you. Need to go to the hospital? Iâll cover the medical expenses.â
Sophia looked shocked as she stared at Ellinor. âEllinor, why⦠why are you doing this to me? We just met â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. âIsnât this what you asked for? Donât cry about the pain you brought on yourself,â
Sophia felt wronged. âI didnâtâ¦â
Ellinor tossed the napkin she used to wipe her hands into the trash and ignored Sophia, turning directly to Theo. apologized, can I go?â
Theo just stared at her coldly without saying anything.
Ellinor didnât bother waiting for his response and walked out herself.
that Iâve Marissa, shocked by the events, came to her senses and quickly stepped in front of Ellinor, grabbing her hand. âEllinor, where are you going? Come home with me.â
Ellinor pulled her hand back, keeping a distance from her. âMarissa, Iâll go home, but not yours. Itâs never been my home, Thanks for coming all this way for me. You should go home and rest.â
Marissa felt uneasy. âEllinor, youâre expecting; you shouldnât be wandering around! Come home with me. I canât bear to see you alone out there.â
Ellinor stepped back, preventing Marissa from getting too close, and spoke indifferently. âIâm not alone.
I have friends, and I have my own home. Il take good care of myself.
Mrs. Blanchet, you donât need to call yourself my family anymore. Your grandson and his wife are right beside you. If you want to hold a great-grandchild, go to them.
As for mild in my belly, they have nothing to do with the Blanchet family, so donât bother yourself.â
