Chapter 315
Ellinor recalled her past. She felt like she had nothing since she was a child, always having to fend for herself and figure things out on
her own.
Till this day, even though she’s toughened up, would she be grateful for the hardships that made her stronger?
No.
Given a choice, no one would want to go through hardships.
Just then, Patricia’s voice sounded…
“Theo, I’ve already apologized to Ellinor for the misunderstanding! It was all because Haillie goofed up and made a big mistake! But she’s not a bad egg, you’ve known Haillie for many years, you know what she’s like! So Theo, could you please talk to Ellinor, ask her to let it slide this time? Just this once, okay? The cops said that as long as Ellinor doesn’t press charges, Haillie won’t have to do time…”
Hearing this, Ellinor gave a sarcastic laugh, turned her head to look at Theo, waiting to see if he’d take Patricia’s bait.
Under the cover of smoke, it was hard to gauge Theo’s expression. All they could hear was his indifferent voice: “It’s coincidences when it happened once or twice, but the third time it’s enemy action. This is not the first time Haillie has maliciously slandered my wife. This time, even if my wife is willing to forgive her, I can’t.”
Ellinor stared at Theo in shock, pondering his words….
“Theo…” Patricia lowered her head in disappointment, “Alright, I get it…”
Theo put out his cigarette, walked past Patricia, and headed towards Ellinor. “Let’s go home.”
His stance was clear, his words succinct.
Ellinor was still in a daze. Theo took her hand, opened the car door for her, buckled her seatbelt, and then closed the door.
As Theo walked around the car to the driver’s seat, he passed Patricia again, paused, and told her: “You should go home too. Balfour is waiting for you.”
Patricia nodded, “Alright, Theo. I understand.”

Belinda couldn’t believe it. “Wait, what? Don’t leave! What the hell?”

She wanted to go with Theo, but his car left her in the dust.
Belinda was helpless.

Patricia looked at Belinda sympathetically, “Belinda, do you want to come home with me? Balfour can give you a lift.”
Belinda gave Patricia a disdainful look and declined without hesitation: “No need, I’ll grab a cab. See you!”
As soon as she finished, she turned and left as if eager to escape.
Watching the direction Theo’s car had disappeared in and Belinda’s unceremonious exit, a hint of cold resentment flashed in Patricia’s innocent eyes. She gritted her teeth.
“Are you still watching? Theo’s long gone. Come home with me.”
Balfour’s voice filled with concern came from behind. The resentment in Patricia’s eyes vanished in an instant, and she returned to her usually gentleness: “Alright, let’s go home.”
