"Ellinor, I'm just trying to be your friend here; I even brought you this soup my mom made; why are you treating me like this? Did I do something wrong to piss you off?"
Ellinor was cool as a cucumber, just lifting the corner of her mouth a bit, "You didn't ruffle my feathers; you just got back two days ago; how could you have pissed me off?"
Her words had a different meaning.
Patricia had only been back one day, but from yesterday morning, she had been in the hospital with severe allergies, with Belinda and Theo keeping her company.
If she really wanted to hurt Patricia, she wouldn't have had the time to find a so-called perpetrator.
Moreover, before yesterday, no one knew when Patricia would be back.
How could she have planned everything without predicting the future?
Besides, she and Patricia didn't even know each other before yesterday, let alone have any contact or grudges.
The police's accusations made it sound like she was the prime suspect. However, time was a hole in their story that couldn't be covered up. Claiming that she had someone hurt Patricia didn't hold water at all!
This was clearly a setup.
And the person setting the trap was right in front of her eyes.
Patricia coming to bring her soup in the early morning was just a smokescreen; more like she was playing the victim!
"Ellinor, what...what are you laughing at? How can you still laugh?"
