Chapter 1317
“Where’s Ellinor? With all the crap Theo’s landed himself in, she’s still not back?”
At the mention of Ellinor, Veronica’s eyes lit up like a warning beacon. “She can’t know about this! Grandma said
that Theo’s probably six feet under now, so the kid in Ellinor’s belly is the only bloodline left of Thea. We can’t risk
anything happening to Ellinor and the baby. she can’t be stressed out!”
Sophia, eyes filled with sorrow, nodded while wiping her tears. “You guys are right! Ah, Veronica, I’m feeling all over
the place right now. I’d rather not bother your grandparents. Tell them for me that I’ll have my dad’s people look
into what the heck happened. We have to avenge Theo!”

Once out of the Blanchet family’s sight, Sophia dialed a number in her car. “Find where Ellinor is, pronto! I want
answers in ten!”
When Byran returned home, he found Ellinor picking at her lunch. Despite her hunger, the food tasted bland.
“You’re having lunch?” Byran walked over, eyeing the food on Ellinor’s plate.
It was a rich and nutritious meal prepared by the professional nutritionist.
Ellinor snapped back to reality. “You’re back.”
Byran nodded and took a seat across from her. “Eat up.”
Ellinor took a distracted bite of her steak, noticing Byran’s furrowed brows, like he was deep in thought.
“What’s on your mind? Did Ida give you the cold shoulder again?” She asked.
Byran frowned. “I feel like Ida’s been acting weird today, like she’s hiding something from me. And my brother’s
been off as well. It’s not like him to give me a day off.”
Ellinor had no idea what was so strange, nor did she care to find out.
She couldn’t eat any longer, so she picked up her phone to watch some videos.
While scrolling, Ellinor saw news of an explosion at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town, but soon swiped
past it.
Just then, the family butler approached. “Ms. Mendoza, you have a visitor.”
Byran asked, “A visitor? Who?”
The butler shook his head. “I don’t recognize her, but she insisted she came specifically to see Ms. Mendoza. Her
name is Sophia.”

Ellinor was taken aback upon hearing this.
How did Sophia find her here?
Byran remembered what Ida had told him earlier about keeping an eye on Ellinor and shielding her from the
outside world as much as possible, so she could avoid unnecessary stress.
Sophia was clearly no saint; she was the root cause of the misunderstanding between Ellinor and Theo.
Her appearance now, regardless of her intentions, was bound to stress Ellinor out.
Realizing this, Byran quickly instructed the butler. “We don’t know any Sophia! Don’t let her in; tell her to hit the
road!”
