Chapter 537
Patricia was a bit rattled by Theo's piercing gaze Using tears to cover up her guilt, her eyes
reddened and tears started to pour
Just then, Balfour finished his call and walked in to find his usually untouchable sister being
questioned by Theo in a cold manner that even brought her to tears.
Balfour was pissed, quickly stepping forward and pulling his sister into his arms.
âTheo, what are you implying? Are you suggesting Patricia would frame Ellinor on purpose?â
Theo remained stoic as he met Balfour's gaze, âWhat I mean is, she might have made a mistakeâ
Patricia leaned against her brother, shaking her head with a mix of resolve and hurt, âNo, I didn't
make a mistake. It was Ellinor who poured hot soup on Baber Theo, did Ellinor say something that
made you distrust me?â
âNothing was said.â
âThen why don't you believe me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would slander others on
a whim? Theo, I'm not like that.â
Balfour couldn't stand to see his sister crying so hard.
âTheo, are you questioning Patricia's character? Just because Ellinor sidestepped responsibility with
a few words, you start doubting someone who nearly lost her life to save yours?!â
Remembering Patricia's past kindness, Theo's expression softened, he looked at Patricia with a bit
more leniency and guilt.
He stopped questioning Patricia and simply said, âI had a peek at the restaurant's surveillance
before leaving; the camera wasn't broken; it was the surveillance system. Fix it, and we can pull up
everything that happened and reveal the truth.â
Balfour agreed. âSure! It would be great if we could fix the surveillance system. I'd like to see what
really happened, whether Patricia is wrongfully accusing Ellinor
or not.â
Hearing that the surveillance could be fixed, Patricia froze. Her face went pale and her expression
turned ugly.
Oh crap! Once the surveillance was fixed, wouldn't everyone realize she was lying and that she was
framing Ellinor?
Patricia didn't expect that the broken surveillance system could be fixed.
No way! She couldn't let that happen.
If they found out she was lying, not only would Theo despise her, but even her doting brother
would be disappointed
Patricia felt incredibly uneasy. She quickly put on a magnanimous and forgiving face and sighed
softly, âLet's forget it, since Ellinor is gone, I think it's time to let it go! I'm really tired, I don't want to
pursue this anymore, and I don't want you and Theo to worry!â
Balfour was deeply moved to see his sister still think of others despite being wronged. He softly
said.
âPatri, we can't just let this slide! Baber is hurt, we can't just let it go! If you're tired, stay here and
rest with Baber, leave this to me, donât worry; I won't let you and Baber be wronged for no reason!â
Patricia was very anxious when she saw that her brother was still insisting on pursuing the matter.
She tugged at Balfour's arm to persuade him again, âBro, let's drop it! I really don't want to trouble
everyone with this! To be honest, I should also be blamed for this! I insisted on inviting Ellinor to
dinner, and because she dislikes me, she took her anger out on my child! It's my fault, I'll just keep
my distance from Ellinor from now on!"
