Chapter 332
Collin had already raised the partition between the front and back seats of his own accord, choosing not to look at them.
He didn’t fancy being under the intense gaze of Mr. Blanchet….
Theo gently rubbed her stomach for a bit, only stopping when he saw she looked a bit better. He pulled out a wet wipe, cleaning off the sticky soda residue on her small face. With a mix of heartache and anger, he reprimanded her: “Where’s all that sass you usually throw my way? You just let people walk all over you and don’t fight back?”
Ellinor shot him a look, before seriously saying, “I’m not a beast! Theo, if a beast attacked you, would you fight back? We should deal with beasts in a human way, not stoop down to their level! I don’t want to argue with them. They are just people who have been influenced by fake news on the internet and lack critical thinking! The one we need to deal with is the one stirring up trouble online!”
Theo patted her head, instructing, “I’ll handle this. Just stay at home and rest for a few days until this blows over.”
Ellinor was a bit upset, “I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I hide at home?”
He coaxed her, “We won’t hide then, but we’ll have to wake up early to go to the
Ellinor was taken aback, Theo was taking her to the Blanchet Corporation?
Wasn’t that the same as going public with their relationship?
office together, okay?”
She thought about it, shaking her head, “I won’t go! You go to work, what am I supposed to do? It’ll be so boring!”
He frowned, seriously telling her the gravity of the situation, “Ellinor, in today’s society, cyberbullying is no small matter! Listen to me, don’t make me worry!”
Ellinor’s eyes sparkled, so this is what it felt like to be cared for…
“Theo, don’t worry, I know my limits, I won’t let people walk all over me!”
Theo couldn’t persuade her, but he didn’t want to force her either.
She had just agreed to try being with him. He would respect her and let her truly accept him.
Not just blindly force her to listen to him.
Also, he had long figured her out. The harder he chased, the faster she ran. She was different from other women.
He conceded, helplessly pinching her chubby little face, “Right, you’re so great, only ever losing your temper with me! With others, you’re understanding and magnanimous, truly so generous!”
Ellinor frowned.
Was Theo complaining about her treatment of him?
Before, their relationship was purely professional. Of course she would try to avoid him when they weren’t acting!
They had just agreed to try being together, she wasn’t prepared yet!
And, it felt like Theo was always treating her like a helpless child, she was already twenty years old okay!
Evening.
In a dilapidated residential district in the suburbs of Greenhaven.

This was Zachary’s home, a criminal suspect who had almost harmed Patricia Howard.
Zachary’s wife had just returned home from the police station with their child, both of them crying the whole way.
Because they found out their father was a bad man, arrested by the police. The child’s trust in his father collapsed, leading to an emotional breakdown.
After coming home, it took all of Zachary’s wife’s strength to calm the child down and put him to sleep.
Not long after, their doorbell suddenly rang.
She tucked the child in, got up from the bed and went to open the door.
Outside, stood a woman wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, with a black briefcase in her hand.
Zachary’s wife was a bit nervous, “Hello, can I help you?”
The woman pushed past her without a word, striding into the house, before taking off her sunglasses and mask.
