Chapter 1840
Theo simply looked down at her. “My name is Theo, not whatever you choose to call me. You don’t own me.*
Sophia, realizing that she was losing control of the situation, became more frantic and lunged at him.
Her attack was so fierce that she actually knocked Theo against the wall.
Next, Sophia stood on her tiptoes. She lifted her face as if she were about to kiss Theo. “Marcus, look at me… Look at me…”
Theo furrowed his brow and was about to push her away when Ellinor’s voice suddenly echoed from the staircase. “What on earth are you two doing?”
Sophia paused and turned to look at Ellinor as a sly smile spread across her face. “Oh, look who it is! Can’t you see what we’re doing? We were just about to kiss until you interrupted!”.
Even if she hadn’t managed to kiss him, she wouldn’t let Ellinor have the satisfaction.
Theo immediately pushed Sophia away, sternly saying, “That’s not true! Don’t listen to her nonsense!”
Ellinor had only opened the door a crack, but after hearing Sophia, she pushed it wide open and strutted in.
She looked at Sophia, who had been pushed away, then at Theo, whose clothes were disheveled, and calmly helped him straighten his outfit. “So, you came out here to have a secret rendezvous with your old friend?”
Theo looked down at Ellinor with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. “What do you think?”
Ellinor laughed. “I think you didn’t.”
Theo reached out and gently ruffled her hair. “That’s correct!”
Sophia gritted her teeth when she noticed that she hadn’t managed to stir up trouble between them. “Ellinor! You don’t know anything! For the past three years, I’ve slept with him every night, and we’ve spent more Halloween nights together than you. You like to pick up my leftovers! Hahaha!”
SMACK!
A sharp slap landed on Sophia’s face, interrupting her crazed laughter.
Sophia’s hair was in disarray. She stared at Ellinor in shock as she clutched her cheek. “You… you dared to hit me?!”
Ellinor dusted off her hand as her calm gaze fixed itself on Sophia. “Mr. Blanchet here is a gentleman. He doesn’t hit women. But I can. Not only can I hit you, but I can do even worse. Want to try?”
Sophia was furious. “You… do you know who I am?! Thaddeus is my father! If he finds out you hit me, he’ll skin you alive!”
Ellinor yawned nonchalantly. “You’re a grown woman who’s still throwing around your daddy’s name? That’s a bit pathetic, don’t you think? Ms. Sophia, even if your father was the president, I wouldn’t be scared.”
