Chapter 921
She really wanted to ask Theo if he could maybe act a bit more properly around the elders.
Ellinor, not exactly pleased, scooted away, trying to put some distance between her and Theo.
But Theo wasnt having it. He reached out to her and pulled Ellinor straight into his arms. Just as Ellinor was about to
struggle, his handsome chin neared her eat, saying in a half-adoring half threatening tone. “Easy there, don’t move,
or I’ll have to kiss you in front of everyone.”
Ellinor was so mad that she could faint. She didn’t know how she would face Grandma.
But she knew that once Theo said something, he’d do it, no doubt about it. If she struggled, she might really get a
kiss in public.

pretending she didn’t exist.
Marissa watched their affectionate interaction, and her eyes grew softer. Her hanging heart loosened a bit.
If Theo trusted Ellinor this much, then he must know enough about her past.
That was good, trust was the most important thing between a married couple.
Ellinor was a good kid, she shouldn’t doubt her just because of what others said. She was indeed a bit confused just
now.
The middle-aged woman who came for justice looked pretty pissed. She didn’t get what she wanted; instead, she
was left dumbfounded by their affectionate actions.
Watching Theo hold Ellinor so tenderly made the woman’s brow furrow even deeper.
She said so much, so why didn’t it work?
Tracy began to worry that their trip would be for nothing when she noticed that the middle-aged woman started to
seem helpless. She didn’t want Ellinor to have a good life in the Blanchet family because, in her heart, Ellinor took
Sheila’s place.
So, Tracy thought for a bit, then said, “Mr. Blanchet, this lady from the countryside is actually an honest person; she
didn’t mean to stir trouble between you and your wife. I also think anything could happen. Mr. Blanchet, you should
be careful, don’t get fooled.”
As Theo gently stroked Ellinor’s hand, he looked at Tracy and said, “If I remember correctly, you’re my wife’s foster
mother, right?”
Tracy was honored to be remembered by Theo; she nodded, smiling, “Yes, that’s right, I’m glad you remember
me.”

Theo’s gaze suddenly turned cold, “As my wife’s foster mother, you’re helping a stranger slander your foster
daughter. Seems like you didn’t really care about her when she was growing up.”
Tracy’s face changed instantly, she hastily explained, “No, it’s not like that… Actually, it’s because Ellinor forgot
about all the kindness we showed her, she no longer respects us. I saw her true colors; she’s ungrateful, and I’m
afraid she’ll end up deceiving you too…”
Theo stared at Tracy’s ugly face for a while with an ice-cold gaze. He spoke in a deep tone, “State your purpose!
You’ve been making a fuss here for a while; what do you really want?”
Realizing that their actions had no effect on Theo, she didn’t dare say more. She just hinted to the middle-aged
woman from the countryside with her eyes, signaling her to speak.
The middle-aged woman took Tracy’s hint, blinked, then turned to Theo and said, “I just hope Ellinor can
compensate us for my daughter’s unfinished college education, help her get a decent job in the Blanchet
Corporation, and give my daughter a bright future.”
