Chapter 828
“Ellinor what kind of nonsense are you spouting” My mom went out of her way to make fresh juice for you. If you
don’t wanna drink it, fine, but why are you slandering her?”
Patricia quickly regained her cool, playing the innocent card
Ellinor straightened up, smiling. If your mom made the juice with such good intentions, then why did you sneak off
to the bathroom to throw it up?
Patricia vehemently denied it, “I didn’t throw up, I just went to peel
Ellinor had expected her denial, “Is that so? How about I propose to your grandparents to have someone check if
there’s anything extra in that pomegranate juice?”
Patricia looked flustered “Ellinor, enough is enough! Just so you know, this is my house, everyone here is my family,

Ellinor smirked. Wanna bet?
Patricia felt a bit guilty, she gritted her teeth, not daring to provoke her further, and changed the subject, ‘Ellinor,
what the hell do you want? You’ve already stolen Thea from me, isn’t that enough? Why are you cozying up to our
family?
Ellinor calmly approached her, “First off, correct your words. Theo was never yours, I don’t need to snatch him from
you. Secondly, did I really cozy up to your family? They invited me over out of their own volition”
Patricia’s eyes widened. “Theo is mine! If you hadn’t shown up, he would’ve married me! Ellinor, you’re a
homewrecker”
Ellinor scoffed. “Homewrecking isn’t my thing, nor would I do it. Your mother, Xenia, is the expert here. Not only did
she become the third party, but she also succeeded in replacing the original Mrs. Howard, didn’t she?!*
“You what are you talking about?” Patricia frowned at Ellinor warily wondering how she knew about her mother’s
past
Just then, chatter from the servants drifted in
“Theo’s here!
At the mention of his name, both girls turned towards the window. A man had driven into the Howard family’s yard,
stepped out of his sports car, and walked towards the house with a steady stride.
Patricia couldn’t care less about Ellinor, she bolted to greet Theo first.
Ellinor, however, walked back to the dining table with ease
As soon as Theo entered the house, Patricia was all over him, “Then, you’re here! We’re having dinner, you can join
us!”
Theo glanced at her, then walked past her into the dining room, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone, finally

He walked over to her and nodded politely at the elder members of the Howard family as a greeting
Finally, he stopped next to Ellinor, picked up a napkin, and wiped a speck of oil off her lips, “Had enough fun? Time
to go home.”
Patricia, who had followed him in, watched this scene with jealousy in her heart.
She thought the woman who should’ve been pampered by Theo should be her, not this country bumpkin, Ellinor.
Ellinor was used to the man’s childlike care, even when he wiped her mouth, she didn’t react
She just said, “I haven’t finished my food yet. I’ll leave after eating
Theo frowned, he didn’t want to stay any longer, “How about we eat at home?”
Upon hearing this, Dean thought Theo was trying to whisk Ellinor away, so he angrily rebuked, “Theo, what’s the
rush? Didn’t you hear Ellinor say she’d leave after eating?”
Theo scowled at Dean. But he was an elderly man, so he held himself back from saying anything vicious.
For his sister’s sake, Balfour politely said to Theo, ‘Ellinor hasnt finished eating yet, let her eat till she’s full, then she
can leave. Why don’t you sit down and eat something
too?
