The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1189

Sophia was a real piece of work, wasn't she? She knew full well that she was friends with Ellinor, yet she deliberately brought up how Theo hadn't been mentioning Ellinor lately right in front of her. It was as if she was trying to seize power or something.

Couldn’t take the power directly, huh?

Why go through Ellinor’s friend? Because she was betting her bottom dollar that her friend would tell everything to Ellinor, right?

This pair were both sly as foxes!

"If Mr. Blanchet doesn't want to spill, why do you think I would? Ms. Sophia, it's a real treat to dine with you, but let's not pretend we're actual friends, okay?"

Sophia didn't even bat an eye at the pushback; her nerves were made of steel. She was still smiling and saying, "Ms. Gipson, I'm just curious; there’s no need to be on high alert. Do you happen to know where Ellinor is right now?"

This caught the usually emotionless Theo's attention, causing him to shoot a look at Ida.

Ida nearly jumped out of her skin. She should never underestimate Sophia.

She adjusted her glasses nonchalantly. "I wish I knew where she was! It's been ages since we last saw her, and we're all worried sick, but she just won't show up, probably because of someone she'd rather avoid! So, we don't want to add to her misery."

Sophia feigned confusion. "Someone Ellinor doesn't want to see? Ms. Gipson, you're not implying Theo, are you? Why wouldn't Ellinor want to see Theo? As far as I know, he's always been good to her."

Ida smiled and replied. "And what's your standard for good? Just sweet-talking? Ms. Sophia, if that's what you consider good, cherish it by all means! Ellinor doesn't care for empty words."
