Chapter 1351
Veronica was helping Marissa out, just after witnessing the prior scene. She asked with some confusion. “Why would Ellinor want to stay with the Howard family? Aren’t you worried that Balfour might have inappropriate thoughts about her?”
Marissa also felt that Veronica’s concerns were valid. How could Theo just let Balfour take Ellinor away so easily?
Theo didn’t elaborate, simply saying, “He wouldn’t.”
Veronica wasn’t convinced. “Why not? He’s a man too! Bro, you can’t trust other men that much!”
Belinda agreed with Veronica, nodding in approval. “Yes, your relationship with Ellinor just started to improve; you should take this opportunity to bring Ellinor back. What are you waiting for?”
Seeing that she had support, Veronica felt her worries were justified. “Exactly! Bro, you should go get her back!”
Theo furrowed his brows. “Alright, go help our grandparents into the car first.”
It was obvious that Theo wasn’t in a good mood after Ellinor left, so Veronica didn’t dare say any more. She obediently nodded. She turned around to help her grandmother up, then got her grandparents into the car.
Once Veronica was gone, Theo turned to Belinda with a stern look on his face. “You should go home too. Did you tell your parents you’re out this late?”
“No.” Belinda hung her head a little dejectedly. She hadn’t told her parents she was going out; there simply wasn’t time..
“Take her home. I have some things to take care of here.” Theo said to Chase
Chase grinned. “Sure, my pleasure!”
Belinda fell silent.
Chase gave her a small smile. “Let’s go; I’ll take you home.”
Belinda didn’t really have a choice. Now that she knew Theo and Ellinor were okay, she felt relieved and obediently got into the car with Chase.
Once everyone had left, Theo turned around, walked back into the police station, and entered the interrogation room.
The two officers interrogating the silver-haired man were at their wits’ end, having failed to get any useful information out of the suspect.
The silver-haired man, having been injured by Ellinor, was taken to the hospital before being brought to the station for questioning.
His hands and feet were in casts, making him look somewhat comical in the interrogation room. He looked defiant, knowing full well that the officers wouldn’t dare hit him, so he gave no real answers to their questions.
When Theo walked in, the two officers left and closed the door behind them.
Theo sat down, calmly saying, “Tell me, who’s pulling your strings?”
The silver-haired man didn’t like Theo’s superior attitude; he looked up defiantly. “No one; I’m the mastermind!”
“Aren’t you afraid the police will punish you severely if you don’t confèss?”
The silver-haired man was unconcerned. “Theo, you have plenty of your own problems. You should focus on yourself! The whole world knows your weakness is Ellinor. Even if you get rid of me, others will still come after you! Your life doesn’t seem to be so easy.”
Theo remained calm. “What if I know your weakness?”
The silver-haired man found this amusing and sneered. “My weakness? I have no family in this world; no one cares about me; I don’t care about anyone either! What weakness could I have? I’m not like you; I’m not stupid enough to fall for a woman!”
“Is that so?” Theo sounded casual as he slowly pulled a necklace from his jacket pocket. The pendant was a small box that could be opened,
He had already opened the box, and inside was a picture of a woman holding a little boy, both of them smiling at the camera.
