The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 950

Xenia and Patricia thought they’d covered their tracks well. They hoped Ellinor hadn’t caught on to anything.

At that moment, Patricia was still kneeling on the ground. Seeing Balfour and Ellinor standing together, she became irritated and instinctively on guard. “Didn’t you go to office? Why did you come back?”

Balfour had heard the slanderous things Xenia and Patricia had said about Ellinor in front of their grandparents. He already had a distaste for his stepmother, Xenia, and that only added to his dislike. Seeing his once beloved sister Patricia, disappointment filled his eyes.

“Ellinor said she had something to discuss with you, so I came back.” Balfour responded.

“Ellinor, you…what did you want from me?” Patricia got up from the ground, blinking her eyes in confusion at Ellinor.

Ellinor just gave her a cool glance, not answering for the moment. She turned to the two elderly people, politely nodding her head and saying, “Good morning, Grandpa Dean, Grandma Alyssa. Sorry to bother you again.”
