Chapter1097
Xenia was thinking back, feeling the lack of solid proof. That’s when she spotted something under the bed.
What was that?
She set her child down and hurried over, pulling out a crumpled set of pajamas and underwear from underneath the bed.
Laughing excitedly, she took shots of her evidence and said, “Ha! Busted, aren’t ya? You two claimed nothing happened; then what’s this?”
When Ellinor caught sight of the clothes Xenia was holding, she realized that those were her clothes from the previous night. She felt her face heat up.
“Those are my private belongings; give them back!”
As she reached over to snatch her clothes back, Xenia hid them from her grasp, “Are you trying to destroy evidence?”
Ellinor furrowed her brows, “What evidence? They’re just clothes I took off!”
Xenia chuckled, continuing to film, “Just clothes you took off? Who throws their clothes on the floor, let alone under the bed? Clothes only get tossed around in the heat of the moment, right? Ellinor, don’t hide it! I’ll let the whole Blanchet family know about your lover. Get ready to be kicked out!”
The clothes weren’t something she had taken off herself, they were stripped off by Theo while she was asleep.
It was embarrassing to have them seen by others.
Bartlett stepped in and said, “Mrs. Howard, you may have misunderstood mine and Ellinor’s relationship. I arrived at her room this morning, if you don’t believe me; you can ask the servants. They saw me.”
Xenia shot Bartlett a look and said, “Mr. Rex, do you take me for a fool? Ifyou two were sneaking around, you’d avoid being seen! Even if the servants morning, it doesn’t prove anything. Maybe it was a show youtwo put on.”
Bartlett sighed, “Mrs. Howard, do you really have to paint us in that light?”

“Still playing innocent?” Xenia snickered, “If there’s nothing going on, why are you here at our villa? You weren’t here when Ellinor arrived yesterday, so how did end up in her room this morning? You’re here to see Ellinor while Theo Blanchet is away, aren’t you?”

Bartlett frowned, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.
“Who said I wasn’t here?”
The bathroom door opened, and a man’s voice, followed by the fresh scent of soap, filled the room, deep and intimidating.
Xenia froze, staring wide–eyed at Theo, who had just stepped out of the bathroom.
Bartlett looked serious all of a sudden, turning his head to the side in surprise.
Ellinor, however, remained unchanged.
Theo walked over to Ellinor, his eyes cold, “Mrs. Howard, what’s your issue with my wife?”
Xenia was lost for words, “Mr. Blanchet, why… why are you here?”
Theo responded, “To see my wife.”
