The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2

The crowd below the stage had different expressions as they chattered away...

"This is Mr. Blanchet's fiancée? Why is she dressed like a street punk?"

"Shouldn't Mr. Blanchet's woman be an elegant and beautiful lady? What the hell is that?"

"Hmm, Mr. Blanchet's taste is rather... unique."

Ellinor had deliberately dressed like a punk to scare off potential husbands. But Theo didn't seem to mind that his fiancée’s image was being discussed. More accurately, he didn't even care that his taste was being questioned, so he was completely unmoved.

Under the strange gazes of the guests, Ellinor had no choice but to exchange engagement rings with Theo.

The host announced that the ceremony was over!

Although everyone was a bit uncomfortable with Mr. Blanchet's choice of fiancée, they didn't dare not to applaud for the sake of Mr. Blanchet's face.

The applause erupted.

After leaving the stage, all Ellinor wanted was to get away and escape this place of drama.

But she was surrounded by three exquisitely dressed women who blocked her way.

"Whose daughter are you?"

"Why did you come dressed like that?"

"Do you think you're worthy of standing next to Mr. Blanchet?"

Ellinor just bypassed them, not wanting to deal with them.

But these women blocked her way again, refusing to back down.

She lost her patience, glanced at their glamorous dresses, "You're all dressed up, but why don't I see any of you standing next to Mr. Blanchet?"

"You..."

These three socialites were daughters of wealthy families in Greenhaven. Had they ever faced such sarcasm? They blocked her, demanding an apology, and were even more reluctant to let her go.

Not far away, Jonah walked over and clinked glasses with Theo.

"Theo, where did you find this female thug? If you take her home to your old man, he'll probably drop dead!"

Theo replied in an uncaring tone, "The old man just wants a daughter-in-law, and any woman will do."

Jonah complained, "There are so many women in the world, why did you have to choose a thug to marry?"

Theo sipped his wine, as if reminiscing about something.

"Because, she's a sweet girl."

Jonah was stunned, looking at his normally reserved brother with incomprehension, "I never realized this before, but you have quite the taste!"

Splash! A glass of wine was spilled on Ellinor!

Jonah turned to look, raising his eyebrows, "Your fiancée seems to be getting bullied. Aren’t you going to do something?"

Theo squinted, "No need."

Before Jonah could figure out what Theo meant, he saw Ellinor grab a socialite's hair and knock their heads together like she was slapping a watermelon, causing the two women to collide severely!

The two socialites immediately fell unconscious, and the remaining one was scared out of her wits.

"You...you...you...."

Ellinor was expressionless. She didn't say a word, just waved her hand lightly.

The last socialite immediately backed away and no longer blocked the way.

Jonah gave a slight smile.

"... I think I understand why you chose her."
