Chapter 204
Theo didn’t hesitate and cut straight to the chase. “She doesn’t owe you any explanation”
Haillie was taken aback, “Theo, what happened to you? You were never like this! Did some girl bewitch you?”
Theo didn’t respond and just kept walking with Ellinor
Suddenly. Ellinor yanked her hand out of his and turned around, “What if I can prove that earring isn’t mine? Are you going to apologize to me?”
Haillie was stunned, then dismissed her with a wave, ‘If you can prove it’s not yours, I’ll apologize
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Just an apology? If I can prove it’s not mine, you’re covering all my expenses today! I can’t let you off the hook for frarning someonel
This country girl thought picking up the tab was the ultimate punishment?
She didn’t know that for a rich girl like Haillie, spending some cash was no biggie!
Plus, Haillie didn’t think Ellinor could prove a thing!
It was hard to prove she didn’t do something, especially with no surveillance. What evidence could Ellinor possibly have?
Haillie nodded confidently, “Deal”
Theo slowly turned around, eyeing Ellinor with a curious look, wondering what she’d do next.
Jonah and the rest stopped to watch.
Ellinor walked up to Haillie and extended a hand, “Where’s that earring that pricked you? Let me see it!”
Haillie hesitated, then finally had the doctor hand over the earring
Ellinor took it and put it on her ear in front of everyone.
Puzzled, Haillie watched her and then laughed, “The earring looks great on you. It suits you.
She wasn’t genuinely complimenting her but implying to everyone that the earring suited Ellinor, thus it must be hers!
Ellinor shot back, “See, is my ear swelling?”
Haillie was taken aback, and sure enough, Ellinor’s ear was swelling!
Just a few seconds after putting on the earring, her ear had turned red and swollen, and even turned a purplish color. It looked bad.
What was going on?
Ellinor couldn’t bear the pain any longer and took off the earring. Her hand that had touched the earning also broke out in a rash and was turning purple.
“I’ve been allergic to silver since I was a kid. I break out in a red, purplish rash whenever I touch it. The posts of these earrings are usually made of pure silver, so they couldn’t possibly be mine.”
As she spoke, she handed the earring back to the doctor and wiped her already swollen hand.
Haillie was totally thrown off, her face frozen in shock, “This…”
Ellinor continued, “So, are you going to apologize now?”
At this point, Haillie looked extremely awkward and didn’t know what to say. If she didn’t apologize, she’d look like a total jerk.
