Chapter 691
After hearing Patricia's words, Theo got to his feet and headed towards Ellinor.
Patricia watched him closely, secretly hoping that Theo would slap Ellinor.
Everyone in the room watched this unfold, wondering if Theo would hit Ellinor for Patricia.
Theo did reach out
His large, rough hand gently brushed the loose strands of hair from Ellinorâ forehead, his deep voice
scolding. âDidn't I tell you not to wander off on your own?â
Ellinor frowned. âI forgotâ
Why?!
Had Ellinor bewitched Theo?
âHold it! She killed Baber, who said you could leave?â Balfour spoke up.
After Balfour spoke, the Howard familyâs servants immediately stood in their way, blocking their path.
Theo stopped, and his brow furrowed âDo I need someone's permission to leave?â
Balfour stepped forward, his brow knitted, âTheo, you're still protecting this woman? She's a killer!â
Theo's expression didn't change. âShe's explained what happened. She's not a killer. Didn't you hear?â
Balfour paused, then said seriously. âYou just believe her? Even criminals in court won't easily admit to
their crimes! When did you become so gullible? Do you really think a woman like that would be
sincere to you?"
âI don't care whether sheâs being sincere or not, I trust her
Regardless of Theo's unwavering stance, Balfour didn't back down. âYour trust doesn't matter because
you're not the law!"
With that, he turned to the servants, âCall the police!â
Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking in the corner.
âWho's there? Someone's hiding over there!â
