The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 955

Patricia was shaking her head in tears, “No! I didn’t… It’s not… Ellinor, you’ve got the wrong idea! I just went for a

walk this morning. I didn’t expect you to seize this opportunity to frame me!”

Ellinor had anticipated such a reaction, “Who’s framing who here really? Ms. Howard, in your desperation to bring

me down, you’ve even disregarded the feelings of your beloved Mr. Blanchet. You’d stoop to anything, won’t you?”

Patricia had to think it over. At the moment, she was at a loss for words, so all she could do was continue playing

innocent.

She immediately put on a devastated face and said, “Enough! Stop it! I didn’t do any of the things you accused me

of. Ellinor, I’ve given up on Theo. I swear I won’t fight over him with you anymore! Please, have mercy on me! Stop

targeting me! If you hate me so much, would it make you feel better if I hit myself? Will that satisfy you?”

As she spoke, she started hitting her own face over and over.

Such irrational behavior was truly exasperating. Ellinor didn’t find Patricia’s teary-eyed dramatics sympathetic.

But in the Howard family, Patricia was still the princess. Her crying would always tug at Alyssa and Dean’s

heartstrings.

It was clear that even if Patricia had made a mistake, her family was ready to forgive her.

Balfour was looking at Patricia, feeling torn.

Honestly, he despised those who were full of lies and deceit, yet he watched Patricia grow up exactly. Even though

he no longer liked her, he had a soft spot for her. Seeing her hit herself until her face turned red, he wanted to stop

her. However, as he recalled what she had done to Ellinor, he kept silent.

Xenia, feeling heartbroken for her daughter, rushed to stop her, “Patri, what are you doing? She’s an outsider! If

she doesn’t like you, that’s her problem, but we still love you! Stop hitting yourself! It’s breaking my heart!”

Patricia pushed away Xenia’s intervention, crying even harder and hitting herself even stronger, “Mom, let me be!

Ellinor doesn’t like me. If I don’t make her feel better, she’ll keep messing with me and slandering me. I don’t want

you guys to be disappointed in me because of Ellinor’s lies. Only this way can I satisfy Ellinor.”

Xenia also broke down in tears, “Patri…”

Moved by her daughter’s actions, Xenia started hitting herself too, “Ms. Mendoza, you’re probably angry because I

spoke ill of you earlier, right? If you have any resentment towards me, take it out on me, not my daughter! You’ve

already taken away the man she loves most, isn’t that enough? I beg you, leave my daughter alone.”

The living room was thrown into chaos with the sounds of Xenia and Patricia hitting themselves.

The Howard family’s long-time servants, who had been with them for over a decade or even two, had never seen

such a scene. They all thought Ms. Mendoza was incredibly powerful, managing to reduce them to such a state in

front of Alyssa and Dean.

“Enough! Stop humiliating yourselves!” Balfour finally shouted in extreme annoyance.

Only then did Xenia and Patricia stop, looking at Balfour fearfully.

Patricia’s face was swollen, and her eyes were red. Looking at her brother, her voice was hoarse and full of

anguish, “Balfour..
