The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 446

The Howard family, being such a big-shot family, cared a lot about their reputation.

No matter what went down in the family, they could always use their power to keep it under wraps.

Even if some news did slip out, no media organization had the guts to expose the dirt on such a high-profile family, so the news only reached a few people and didn't get much airtime.

In this case, if she didn't get up close and personal with the people in the Howard family, she'd have no way of finding out what really happened back in the day.

Ellinor thought she had no blood ties with Arnold, so she believed the rumor about her mom being a homewrecker was squashed.

But now she found out she had been labeled a love child, and she was totally bummed out.

She refused to believe her mom was the woman the rumors made her out to be, so she had to dig up the truth to clear her mom's name.

"Ellinor, aren't you worried that if you go back to Greenhaven, the Blanchet family will find you? Theo has never stopped looking for you."

"The most dangerous place is often the safest. I can't let my fear of the Blanchet family finding me stop me from investigating my mom's case."

Speaking of Theo, Ellinor couldn't help but think of the news she just saw on TV at the mall. It really ground her gears. "I don't owe Theo anything. So what if he finds me? I heard he's about to get engaged to Patricia Howard. If he's looking for me, he's probably just trying to send me an invite."

Hearing about Theo's engagement with Patricia, Chase's face showed a hint of surprise, quickly turning into indignation and sarcasm.

He initially thought Mr. Blanchet was a decent guy and someone who could make Ellinor happy.

But now it seemed like he was just like every other guy.

Ellinor had only been gone a month, and he had already gotten engaged to another woman?!

Thank god Ellinor was not the lovey-dovey type and not too deep in the rabbit hole.
