When Veronica saw that Grandma seemed willing to believe Ellinor, he immediately interrupted, âGran, donât listen to her excuses, donât let her fool you again if sheâs really feeling unwell, why isnât she in the hospital but hanging around with a guy in the lounge? Gran, we, the Blanchet family, canât tolerate such a woman with loose morals. She has character issues, not only is she having an affair, she even swiped Haillieâs watch yesterday Ask Haillie if you donât believe meâ
Haillie put on a generous expression and shook her head. âActually, I donât mind, itâs just a lost watch, no big deal But what Ellinorâs done today, itâs really unfair to Theoâ¦
Ellinor turned pale, gave a little smile, but ignored Haillie and the others.
She threw off the blanket on her, propped herself up and said to Marissa, âGran, whether you believe it or not, I havenât done anything to wrong the Blanchet family Seeing her face so pale, Manssa wanted her to sit down before they continuedâ¦.
But Byran, impatient, came forward, grabbed Ellinor by the collar and said, âEnough with your excuses!
No one here is going to believe your lies! If you know whatâs good for you, admit your mistake and leave the Blanchet family. Donât wait for us to kick you out!â
Bartlett came over and pulled Byranâs hand away, âLet go of her, canât you see sheâs not feeling well?â
Byran laughed. âOh, you stood up for her like this? And you dare say thereâs nothing going on between you two?â
Bartlett didnât bother arguing. âInnocent people are naturally innocent! Mr. Howard, youâd better watch what you say, because there are consequences for speaking recklessly!â
Bartlett, who always had a smile on his face, now had a serious look, his sharp eyes emitting an intimidating aura.
Byran felt a bit uncomfortable, mumbling. âI didnât say anything wrong. You two were caught together in the loungeâ¦â
Bartlett ignored Byran, turned around to look at the weak Ellinor, and supported her wobbling shoulders, âEllinor, how are you? Are you okay?â
Ellinor shook her head.
âWhat are you all doing here?â
A manâs mature and deep voice suddenly echoed. It was calm and steady, but there was a strong sense of danger.
Everyone was taken aback and looked backâ¦
The tall and upright figure of Theo appeared at the lounge door.
The man with his hands in his pockets looked handsome, his face cold and dark.
Behind him, Collin, with a serious and loyal expression, followed.
Seeing Theo, Veronica got excited and ran over, âTheo, youâve come at just the right time! Ellinorâs having an affair, and she was caught red-handed meeting with this guy here!â
Theo frowned, âShut up!â
Veronica shrank her neck in fear..
She thought, her brother must be very angry after learning about his wifeâs infidelity, so she didnât dare to say more.
In any case, thereâs no turning back for Ellinor today!
Seeing Ellinor being supported by Bartlett, Theoâs eyes turned extremely cold.
