The Kiss that Sparked it All

Balfour looked down at his sister, who had suddenly collapsed in his arms, making no move to comfort her.

In the past, he would have gently patted her back, telling her not to cry and not to be afraid because he was there for her and she didn’t need to worry about anything.

But now he felt like the sister in his arms was not real.

Ellinor gave a soft chuckle as she watched Patricia continue her act.

“Ms. Howard, when Gavin accused me just now, he didn’t provide any chat logs or transfer records either. But you were quick to insist that I admit my mistake and stop fighting back. Why is it that when the same thing happens to you, you think his words hold no weight? Don’t you think you’re being a bit hypocritical?”

Patricia leaned against her brother, looking pitiful. “…I’m not being hypocritical… I’m Baber’s mother. How could I possibly arrange for someone to hurt my own child? Ellinor, how much must you hate me to go to such lengths to frame me?”

Even at this point, Patricia was still blaming others for her actions.
