Chapter 203
Elinor’s heart began to race, and she blinked, looking over at Theo Did he believe her?
Haillie frowned, seemingly puzzled. “Theo, didn’t you just say you believed me? Why are you saying this now?”
Theo’s expression remained unchanged ‘I do trust that you wouldn’t accuse her for no reason So, please, tell me what exactly made you slander my wife”
So, that’s what he meant by his previous statement!
Moreover, using the word ‘slander was like he had already found her quilty!
Fear began to creep into Haillies heart. Theo, we’ve known each other for so many years. You know me, right? How could you doubt me like this?”
Theo remained steadfast “Time isn’t always the best judge. My wife and I may not have known each other for long, but we trust each other enough not to question each other because of someone else’s words.”
Haillie was taken aback, her eyes reddening “Theo, you can’t treat me like this, we’ve been friends for so many years.
Thee grew impatient. “If you can’t provide a reason, then stop slandering my wife, or I won’t hesitate to sue you”
After saying the last sentence, Theo casually turned away, asking Elinor in a low voice, “Hungry?”
Elinor hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Yeah, a bit”
“Let’s go then, we’ll grab some breakfast”
In front of everyone, Theo naturally took her hand and led her out of the dressing room
Belinda followed them out, laughing “Theo, you almost gave me a heart attack! Why didn’t you make yourself clear? I thought you didn’t trust Elinor!”
Theo shot her a cold glance and asked, “Do I look like the kind of guy who would be irresponsible?”
Belinda laughed, “No, no! I misunderstood! Your bond is so strong; how could you doubt each other over something so insignificant?”
Elinor looked perplexed.
Theo took Elinor and left, and Jonah and the others also prepared to leave. They were simply onlookers and didn’t want to get involved.
However, watching Theo lead Elinor away, Haillie’s eyes turned bloodshot with anger.
Was Theo actually going to sue her over that country girl, Elinor?
Haillie gritted her teeth in indignation, thought for a moment, and called out again, ‘Wart! Theo!”
Theo stopped and slightly tilted his head. “What now?”
With a face full of a sense of injustice, Haillie said, “Theo, if you just take Elinor away like this, everyone will think I’m deliberately slandering her!”
“And what do you propose?”
“Because you trust Elinor so much, and she firmly denies any wrongdoing, then let her prove that the earring that stabbed me isn’t hers!”
