Chapter 1322
The clerk asked, “What kind of leaflets do you need printed? Once we design a layout, it should take about thirty
minutes.”
“I don’t need complex designs; just get it done as fast as possible.”
“Sure thing. We’ll do the simplest layout for you and try to finish in fifteen minutes.”
The evening rolled in.
After dinner, Ellinor took a stroll in the Howard family’s garden, enjoying the evening breeze and admiring the

“Exactly! Those who aren’t interested in the leaflets just chuck them away, and the wind blows them into our
garden.”
Two servants were sweeping the ground and complaining. They then heard footsteps approaching.
After turning around, they saw Ellinor.
They immediately showed respect to her. “Ms. Mendoza, you might want to walk over there. We’re sweeping, and
we’re afraid the dust might bother you.”
Ellinor smiled. “Alright, you guys keep working hard.”
She didn’t pay them much mind. She smiled at the two servants and walked by.
Once Ellinor left, the two servants started chitchatting again.
“Ugh! Look at this leaflets. Why are they printing about Mr. Blanchet’s murder?”
“Isn’t it clear? It says Mr. Blanchet died suddenly, and they’re now asking for any leads. Whoever provides useful
information will get a big reward.”
“I wonder who would dare harm Mr. Blanchet.”
“What’s it to us anyway? Our relationship with the Blanchet family isn’t great, so it’s none of our business.”
As they talked and swept, they suddenly stopped at a pair of feet. They looked up and saw that Ellinor was back.
Ellinor looked at them seriously. “Who did you say was killed?”
The two were startled by Ellinor’s serious face. They were just the Howard family’s gardeners, so they had no idea
about Ellinor’s past relationship with Theo.
One of them quickly answered. “It’s Mr. Blanchet; he died in last night’s explosion. His body was badly damaged,

Ellinor looked down at the dusty leaflets,
She bent down to pick one up, but her belly got in the way.
Seeing this, one of the gardeners quickly helped her pick one up and handed it to her.
Ellinor grabbed the leaflet. One side was an ad for a barbecue restaurant, and the other side was what the
gardeners just mentioned.
Theo was killed in an explosion?

No way!
How could this be?
No way, that was Theo!
Ellinor looked shocked; her chest felt tight, and she had trouble breathing.
