“You always find excuses for him.” Ellinor smirked sarcastically. “To me, concealing and deceiving are one and the

same. And guess what? I asked him if he was hiding anything from me, and he said no.”

Belinda sighed. “As a woman, I totally get how it feels to be deceived and kept in the dark by someone you trust and

like. But don’t you think he’s a bit scared of you? He knows what happens when you get mad, so he’s afraid of

telling you his secrets.”

Ellinor laughed. “Scared of me? Have you seen him lose his cool?”

Belinda shrugged. “Take today, for instance; he couldn’t care less about the Howard family. But because you’re

here, he didn’t even dare to step in. He was afraid of ticking you off.”

Ellinor fell silent.

Belinda continued, “Also, his decision to marry Sophia was not because they’ve got a deep friendship or he’s got a

crush on her.

Sophia’s father is the top dog of Thaddeus International Corporation, a global business entity with a lot of clout.

Due to some issues with the previous generation of the Blanchet family, Theo’s situation is quite unstable.

You might not know that his father was quite a playboy in his younger days, and he had a bunch of illegitimate

children. As time went by, all these children grew up and started to sniff around for Theo’s weaknesses, wanting to

grab a piece of the Blanchet family’s fortune.

Theo knew that if he got married in the open, his wife would definitely be targeted, and he didn’t want to drag an

innocent person into this mess.

Sophia is a different story. With her father’s protection, no one would dare mess with her. This could save-Theo a lot

of headaches.,

Back then, Sophia was Theo’s best bet, and since she offered to help Theo willingly, he had no reason to say no.

The reason Theo didn’t divorce Sophia right away might be because he was afraid that without Sophia’s cover,

you’d be targeted and used to leverage him, just like today. Luckily, both you and Theo made it back safe and

sound.”

After hearing all this, Ellinor had a mixed expression.

So, before she left the Blanchet Villa, Theo had arranged a bunch of bodyguards to protect her and prevented her

from going out because he was afraid she’d be kidnapped?

He really was a master of hiding things. Why didn’t he just tell her?

Did Theo know about all his half-brothers when he was a kid?” Ellinor asked.

Belinda nodded. “Yep! He’s known all along.

His father, from a young age, was always a womanizing deadbeat. He professed his love to every woman but took

responsibility for none. He even left his children scattered across the world.

Theo’s mother eventually gave up on her philandering husband, and when Theo was still very young, she left home

and disappeared without a trace. To this day, we have no idea where she is.”

Ellinor felt a sting in her heart. It wasn’t painful but very uncomfortable.
