The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 43

She wasn't worried about Tracy and her daughter ruining her mother's paintings.

First off, they didn't even know that Lady Lotus, the painter, was her mom. Arnold had done a great job keeping it hush-hush.

Secondly, even if they knew, they wouldn't do anything to her mother's paintings.

Even though these two weren't fans of her mom, they sure did love money. And with a painting worth five million, they'd treat it like their own treasure.

...

After stepping out of her house, Ellinor walked alone towards the nearby bus stop, preparing to take the bus back to the Blanchet family's mansion.

While waiting for the bus, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove by and stopped right in front of her.

It was that old man's car!

Oh, Lord! Why did she keep bumping into him? Was she unlucky or was it that he was always following her around?

Collin got out of the passenger seat and courteously opened the backseat door for her, saying, "Please get in. Mr. Blanchet sent me to pick you up."

Seeing that Theo wasn't in the car, Ellinor immediately knew it wasn't a mere coincidence.

Frowning unhappily, she asked Collin, "How did he know I was here? Did he have someone tailing me? Is he afraid I might run away?”

Collin seriously replied, “Ms. Mendoza, you mentioned yesterday on the phone that you would be back here today. That's why Mr. Blanchet asked me to wait for you here."
