Chapter 301
The cop was sweating bullets, trying to come up with a legit reason to explain to Mr. Blanchet why Elinor was under arrest. From the previous confrontation, he’d figured out that Elinor was probably Mr. Blanchet’s wife.
But Theo didn’t say a word. He just sidestepped the cop and placed his cup on the bedside cabinet.
The straw in the cup was all chewed up, with teeth marks clearly visible.
After setting down the cup. Theo stood by the bed, his gaze on Elinor complex and unreadable.
In the face of his silent stare, Elinor’s nonchalant attitude shifted slightly.
She frowned a bit, glanced at him, then lowered her eyes, murmuring. “I didn’t do it.”
His response was calm: “Mhm.”
Elinor looked puzzled at him. What did he mean by that? Even with the evidence stacked against her, he didn’t doubt her. But he didn’t say anything more, leaving his thoughts a mystery.
Elinor furrowed her brows, shifting her gaze from him to the cop. “Officer, can I see my lawyer now?”
The cop nodded, “Yes.”
Elinor continued, “Then could you pass me my phone? I need to call my lawyer.”
Theo chimed in, “I have a lawyer. I can have them.”
Elinor cut him off, saying, “No, I have my own lawyer. Don’t trouble yourself.”
Theo’s brows knitted together, he coolly handed her the phone from the cabinet, then turned to leave.
