The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 700

Balfour was speechless. He truly couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but in his eyes, many of Ellinor’s previous actions

also lacked logic.

For instance, her applying for a job at the Howard Group or showing up at his grandpa’s birthday bash out of the

blue

Not to mention, Patri and the maid at home witnessed Ellinor hurting Baber Could they possibly be wrong?

“I know why Ellinor went all out to save Baber!” Patricia suddenly chimed in, interrupting their conversation.

Everyone turned to look at her, only to see Patricia, with a tear-streaked face, walking in from outside.

She initially wanted to follow the ambulance but was dissuaded since Baber would freak out upon seeing her.

Balfour frowned at her solo return, “Why didn’t you go to the hospital? Where’s Baber?”

Patricia wiped away her tears and said, “Baber is going to the hospital with Quinton; I’m not worried. We can visit

him later. Right now, I need to see the person who hurt Baber get punished, or I’ll feel guilty”

As she spoke, she began to choke up, tugging at everyone’s heartstrings.

Patricia had calmed down a lot after being dissuaded from following the ambulance. She thought things over and

came up with a new plan.

With Baber gone, she had to pin the attempted murder on Ellinor before the truth came out. Then she could deal

with Baber’s situation at the hospital.

Kids were a piece of cake to handle, there were plenty of ways to keep them from revealing secrets.

After seeing Patri crying her eyes out, Balfour asked with concern, “Patri, what was that you were saying you

knew?”

Patricia wiped away her tears and glared at Ellinor, “I know why Ellinor saved Baber! It’s simple! She got scared

when she heard us call the cops, scared of getting a heavy sentence for murder. That’s why she suddenly saved

Baber!”

At this point, Patricia started to tear up again. She looked at the police pleadingly, “Officer, I saw it clear as day. She

hit my son on the head with a chisel, and he fell down almost instantly!

Just because she saved him later doesn’t erase her initial act of murder. That’s attempted murder!

Officer, I beg you to punish this criminal, or I fear my son might get hurt by her again!

He’s at a critical stage of brain development, and his head took such a hit. Who knows if there will be any long-term

effects? There can’t be a next time!

If my testimony isn’t enough, our maid is a witness too, you can ask her!”

The maid immediately came over to back up Ms. Howard, “Indeed, officer’ I saw it too, it was Ellinor who attacked

Ms. Howard’s child with a chisel!”

The cop nodded, “Ms. Howard, we understand your situation. We will handle the offender according to the law and

give you a reasonable explanation.”

Then the officer sternly turned to Ellinor.

“Ellinor, if you have anything to say in your defense, save it for the station. Now, come with us!”

Ellinor didn’t resist going with the police, but Theo wouldn’t let her go.

He held onto Ellinor’s shoulder a bit too tightly, so he could stop her from leaving.

Facing the cops, his gaze was firm and cold, “If you want to take her away, have the chief of the police station call

me first.”
