The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 296

Elinor turned to Balfour and said, "Seems like the check I gave you yesterday didn't do its job. Weren't we clear that you disappeared from my sight for a year after you took my money? It's not even 24 hours; why are you here again?"

Balfour, having experienced Elinor's unpredictable antics, wasn't surprised. He said seriously, "Ms. Mendoza, now's not the time for jokes. If it weren’t for Patricia's case, I wouldn't bother you."

Elinor took a leisurely sip of water and said, "About Patricia's case, I've told the police everything. Mr. Howard, if you have any questions, you can ask the police directly."

Balfour looked at her with a polite yet cold gaze and said, "I'm here to speak with you with the police's consent."

Elinor: "Speak with me?"

Just then, a cop stepped forward and addressed Theo, who stood silently by the bedside, saying, "Mr. Blanchet, please step aside for a moment. We need to record a conversation between a new witness and the suspect."

Theo, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets, stood solid as a rock without uttering a word. His strong presence was spine-chilling.

The cop seemed a bit awkward seeing this: "Mr. Blanchet..."

Hearing the cop, Elinor glanced and said, "Theo, I'm done with my water. Could you put it away for me? Thanks! And go sit down somewhere; you must be tired of standing!"

Cuffed, she couldn't move her hands far apart; she awkwardly held the cup and extended her arm to hand it to Theo.

Theo calmly took the cup from her. But instead of putting it away, he just held it naturally in his hand.
